[SEMI-OPEN] smile though your heart is aching
Who: Tenka & some assorted folks & maybe YOU.
When: after the event! approx. Jan 2nd IC
Where: tenka's bar and the dojo and the hospital -- not as questionable as it sounds, probably
What: A few faces drop by Tenka's bar -- new and old both welcome! -- and then our plucky bartender goes on a great bootlegging adventure to the hospital and also to beat up his teenage protege. Ah.
Rating/Warning: nothing that needs to be warned for besides some booze probably!
[ A - OPEN : sets up a 'walks into a bar' joke ]
[Tenka's bar is buried deep within the entertainment district, full of flashing lights and loud people. Today appears to be no exception as--]
Gaaaahhhh!!
[-- some poor, rowdy NPC is tossed out on his ass with no warning at all. Tenka follows a little bit after, looking some kind of miffed.]
Where were you raised? A barn?!
[ . . . . and then he realized that someone is standing there. He blinks once and raises a hand in greeting.]
Oh. Yo.
[PROFESSIONAL AT WORK.]
- OR -
[The event took its toll on Tenka - how couldn't it? Some jolly, murderous fat guy invaded his home. There were distressed people everywhere and while Tenka would occasionally wander out of his apartment to help them, he was also paranoid enough to put his home here above everything else. Sousei went out but Tenka's restlessness didn't end even after everything seemed to clear up. That was one of the worst rounds of things here so far -- and he's seen some shit.
So there's a jingle of bells from somewhere - he's not sure where - and he loses his grip on the glass that he was polishing, sending it to the floor with a crash. With a muffled curse, he bends down to clean it up.]
Shit.
[And with a less muffled curse, he cuts himself on one of the sharper pieces in his eagerness to get it clean before the bar gets busier again.
He huffs.]
Who even carries around bells anymore?
[ B - SANO / CLOSED : so i heard my husband punched you in the face ]
It's my family's precious heirloom vase!! How very dare you try to take it from me! I don't feel welcome!!
[Sano probably hears Tenka before he sees him, judging by the way the other man is squawking in the hallway at one of the wandering nurses. Then he's quickly making a turn into Sano's room and it's clear exactly what he was getting yelled at for: there's a giant, conspicuous box in his hands.
Ah.
Then without hesitating a second, Tenka kicks the door shut behind him and turns the lock. After putting the box down on the nearest unoccupied table, he pulls out an entire bottle of sake. Then with an absurd amount of swagger as he puffs out his chest--]
I'm your hero. I know. You don't have to tell me.
[ C - JAUNE / CLOSED : beats up naive teenagers for a living ]
[Shortly after Jaune's own video message, his phone lights up with another text:]
let's kill two birds with one stone!! come over to the dojo and i'll sign pyrrha-chan's card and you can get your first bit of training with me in
[It's a bit overdue.... but considering the fact that Sousei took it upon himself to do most of the exploring in the snow, Tenka almost can't feel as though he missed out. Might as well take this restlessness as an opportunity to teach Jaune a thing or two.]

But Sano lets out a quiet laugh as he pushes himself up a little bit; it's kind of difficult since no matter how he moves, it seems, he's disrupting his leg, but he bites back any grimaces or noises that could cause Tenka to worry. He just needs time, now. Having more people fuss over him will solve nothing.]
It was a joke. You're the one who's slow.
[It is good to be in the same presence as a friend, though, even if Sano would rather not be hospitalized at the moment. It wounds his pride a bit, being seen like this by people he actually likes and respects, but it's either this or shun everyone away until he gets better and thus be lonely.]
You don't come off as a vase collector anyway.
no subject
Though honestly, he's pulling up a chair and a table easily, settling himself next to the hospital bed and.... well, he's mildly concerned, but he's also not the type to fuss over someone that he knows is prone to getting into fights as often as he is. There's some worry for Sano, sure, but he knows the other man is likely able to take care of himself.
Sounds like he saw some shit though, which is more of a reason why Tenka's around.
So he pours sake for the both of them, even as he mildly comments:]
You'd be surprised. We clean out the shrine every now and then and always find a bunch of things left behind from the ancestors.
[His fan being one of them. Though he pauses -- he saw Taiko in the snow, after all -- and then shakes his head slowly.]
Either way, nothing that'd interest you.
no subject
Hm.
[Now what is that supposed to mean, Tenka? Sano can appreciate sentimentality and familial importance, even if his own experience with his family is pretty pisspoor. That's just one detail, shh.
All the same, he plays along with Tenka and takes a sip of the sake.]
You're right. Old pottery doesn't really get the blood running.
no subject
.... sorta.
But he's just laughing as he's sipping some of his own sake and can't help but take the opportunity for the jab when it's presented:]
No, but apparently blizzards do?
[C'mon bro, did you really think he wouldn't know.]
no subject
(No one tell Saitou.)
But the sake tastes almost like nectar on his tongue, the absence of it in his recent life making this experience all the richer, and he's raising the cup to take another sip when Tenka speaks up again.
It's aimed to be just a fun little poke. Sano understands, because he's done the same thing to other people, but it still stings. Everything from that night, not just getting his leg all shot up.
So he falters for a moment, then takes a larger sip, trying to keep a smile on his face.]
Yeah. Something like that.
no subject
Something more than the blizzard, huh....
[Just a light prompting -- can't help it, he's curious.]
no subject
Don't worry about it. It's all over, anyway.
[He's already dug himself into a hole, he knows, but he hopes he can just push Tenka away so he doesn't have to explain anything. It's not something he wants to do, but admitting Things is something he wants to do even less.
Sorry, Tenka. You have to be a Level 10 friend to unlock his Tragic Love Life.]
no subject
Well alright, alright, don't look so glum over free booze. I'll start to get offended.
[And he offers Sano a grin -- because that's what Tenka does.
Prioritize the happy over the sad, always.]
