FTEC, Tuesday, October 24

Christian checked up on the clinic's patients then settled behind the desk for the day.

"Does she know how to swordfight as well?" Zuko asked, trying to remember if he'd seen her at the fencing club.

"She's learning, but she's just starting out," Peter replied. "I started teaching her this summer."

"Then you should show her," Zuko agreed. "She can strive to be as good."

"Oh, she does," Peter replied with a warm smile. "She tends to forget that swordwork takes years to learn and wants to be perfect immediately."

Zuko knew that particular frustration. "She should just hang in there. It will come."

"Have you ever met Willow?" Peter asked, laughing.

"I believe so," Zuko said slowly. "I think I met her in the library when I first came here."

Peter nodded. "That sounds about right. She's not exactly the type to allow things to come to her. If it's not perfect immediately, she's rather upset."

Zuko frowned. "I hope for her then that she's a prodigy like my sister because things hardly ever are perfect right away."

"She's brilliant, that's for certain," Peter replied. "And I suppose I overstated. She just very much doesn't like doing things poorly or mediocrely."

"I can understand that," Zuko agreed.

Peter grinned. "Me too."

Zuko grew quiet again as the last action scene took place and the owner of the sword got poisoned. His eyes widened and he was pretty much completely absorbed in the movie as he watched them be too late and the master died.

When on top of everything the girl jumped off the bridge, he wasn't all too sure about this story. He wasn't all too sure why it felt so strange for the girl to disappear like that. "That's not very encouraging."

Peter bit his lip at the ending and felt a bit bereft. "Not at all. No one could end up content."

"She could have been," Zuko argued. "Why did she leave him?"

"She did what she thought she had to, I suppose," Peter replied, still troubled. "Perhaps she thought she'd fail them both by staying."

"And just give up without even trying?" Zuko scoffed.

"It wouldn't be my choice," Peter said.

"It's a dumb choice," Zuko said stubbornly.

Peter nodded and pushing all thoughts of leaving Su behind out of his mind. "It really, really is."

Zuko seemed to be satisfied with having Peter agree with him. "Perhaps the other movie is more cheerful?"

"If I remember correctly, it is," Peter said. "Or at least the ending isn't quite as sad."

"That's probably good," Zuko said. "Even if the fighting scenes in this one were good."

"I think the fighting in that one is going to be better though," Peter replied. "It's more recent. Swordwork in movies from my time is more like stagefighting."

He went to put The Three Musketeers into the DVD player and hit play before sitting back down. The movie was watched, the swordwork was mocked, and the Cardinal was hissed.
