Parents' Weekend Meet & Greet, The Park, Friday Afternoon

The day had dawned crisp and clear, but by the time afternoon had rolled around... it was really still kind of ridiculously warm for fall. People could probably get away with not wearing a sweater, even.

Which made rather good weather for a picnic, convenient since that was the traditional way of kicking off the Fandom High Parents' (and assorted other relatives, friends, acquaintances, or sometimes even enemies, but that was harder to fit nicely on a banner) Weekend. So there were rows of picnic tables decked out in blue and yellow, laid out with just about any sort of foodstuff one could imagine. And just in case there was any lingering doubt as to the purpose of the picnic, a glittery banner (Petra's work, naturally) adorned the registration tables:

"My ri-" She followed the guy's gaze. "That's my chakram."

There, Seifer. Have some... tiny sliver of information in three words.

Xena was communicative like that.

Seifer looked up and grinned. "Chakram? So, how does work?" It looked deadly and dangerous and something that could definitely get him on Selphie's really good side for months if he got her one.

"Only one way to find out," she replied, "You wouldn't like it."

She wasn't in that good a mood.

...Though maybe she could be tempted.

Hell, maybe he would like it.

"Well, I'm being rude. I'm Seifer Almasy," he told her, holding out his hand. "A friend of mine uses nunchaku as her main weapon, and I might be able to convince her to use something like a chakram as a backup. She's pretty small, and clumsy, so swords and guns are pretty much a no go." Unless they wanted an accident to happen.

"The chakram takes precision," said Xena, which was at least another little nugget of information. "She ever think about using a staff?"

Memories of Gabrielle told her that was usually the best idea.

After considering Seifer's hand for a minute, she shook it.

"Well, she's pretty precise with the nunchaku, she would have to be to get the rank she is. It's just when you get to things her size or bigger that things get interesting."

In the 'please don't fall over and stab yourself' sort of way. "And I'm sort of scared of the things she would come up with, using a staff." Like, turning it into a parade banner or something.

"It's hard to mortally injure yourself or others with a staff," said Xena, who certainly knew a girl who'd tried... the yourself bit. "The chakram takes a long time."

Much like learning to be this laconic.

"Which means she'd be doing something besides trying to rope everyone into helping her with the Spring Party or whatever she's plotting now." See, Seifer had priorities and stuff.

"So, are you a former student, or here to visit with one?"

"Here to visit," Xena said. A beat. "You ever met Gabrielle?"
