Who: Ty Lee & Neptune Vasilias
What: Weiss saw Ty Lee's ad in the paper and decided to set Ty Lee and Neptune up.
When: 02/14
Where: The designated restaurant that was decided on.

Ty lee was used to having dates back home or at least people interested in her (as stated by Mai that she needed 10 boyfriends), so she was almost glad to be able to go on a date again here. Still, a date meant it was a possible love interest and new friend. Some people felt tense during dates and especially blind ones, but for Ty Lee, she felt more relaxed. Sure it was a good idea to give off a good impression, but she also didn't want to become too tense and worried about it.

She'd even decided to wear one of the many outfits that she bought while hanging out with Weiss; one that reminded her more of home, although the rest was still cute. Ty Lee arrived early to make sure that she wouldn't keep him waiting. From what Weiss told her, he was very cute and would stick out with his blue hair. At least it meant it was easier to spot him.

Just like how she usually passed the time, she decided to walk around a little bit on her hands outside of the restaurant. That's a hard habit to break right there.

Admittedly, this might be the first time Neptune had ever been set up on a date. It's not like he had trouble finding interested girls... When he was actually looking for one. He wasn't entirely sure how this was going to go, but he did trust Weiss' judgement when it came to people.

Of course, he thought she might have been joking about Ty Lee's habit of doing things like walking on her hands. Not that he was bothered by the thought of it; he'd just never met anyone that did anything like that. So when he spotted a girl doing just that outside the restaurant, he knew it was her.

"You must be Ty Lee." He quickly looked her up and down, or rather down and up. Her outfit was cute, but functional, and fit her well.

[onlythepinkest]

And then someone was talking to her. That must have been him there. It was probably a strange thought to talk to a date like this. Normally she probably would have but seeming as he was here, she put her feet down onto the ground as she stood up from walking on her hands.

"That's me! You must be Neptune," she said with a grin. She took a moment to examine him closer before cocking her head to the side, "Weiss was right.. You are cute." He was very fashionable too, just as she'd heard from Weiss.

[broceanking]

It was a little weird talking to someone standing on their hands. His height didn't really make it any less awkward, either.

"I am." This gets a little bit of laughter out of him. "You're pretty cute, too." He offers her his arm. "Well, shall we go in?"

[onlythepinkest]

If nothing else, at least she's cute and flexible. That's a good thing, right?

Once he offered his arm, she gave him a smile and nodded as she accepted it. "Of course. It's nice to meet you in person."

[broceanking]

This is true. Although, he's not so superficial that he'll enjoy her company just for those features.

"It's nice to meet you, too." He'll lead them inside, letting the hostess know that they're here for a reservation. Once they get to the table, he pulls her chair out for her.

[onlythepinkest]

Course not. They could reflect on that later, right?

Once he pulled out her chair for her, she gave her thanks with a smile and took a seat down. "So you're from Weiss's world, huh?"

Wow, for someone who usually has a few boys around her -- not so much here as back home -- she didn't really know what to talk about in a date. Well, whatever. It would come to her as the night went on. She'll be alright. Hopefully that was at least something to start off of.

[broceanking]

They can indeed.

He sits down and starts scanning through the menu. "I am. And you're from Zuko's world, right?"

[onlythepinkest]

She's already started to look over the menu, looking for something to catch her interest.

"That's right. I'd like to say he was a childhood friend, but I was always close to his sister, Azula. I actually don't know if Zuko even thinks of me as a friend, to be honest," she shrugged. Although she'd personally just like to be friends without being "one of Azula's friends" all the time.

[broceanking]

Luckily, Weiss had clued him in on the situation with Azula. Otherwise her association with the princess would be a deal breaker.

"Has he always been so cranky?" He'd only talked to Zuko a couple of times, but he'd been wondering this for awhile. And now he finally had someone he could ask that wasn't likely to get angry about it.

[onlythepinkest]

If it makes you feel any better, she betrayed her best friend before coming here to save another best friend and Zuko and his friends? So that's a thing. It's still awkwardly weird for her to talk to Azula normally.

"Preeettyy much. He's always been pretty cranky. I think he's gotten a little bit better since helping the Avatar though.. and being here. Just a little bit," she shrugged. "You should see when we have to force him to take a vacation. Because that went so well," she said, attempting to joke about it but really... Being expressively called a "circus freak" even if he'd apologized for it already was still clear in her mind.

[broceanking]

That would... Definitely be an awkward situation.

"I kind of figured he'd be a bucket of fun." But yet, Weiss still managed to see something worthwhile in him. "So what exactly is the Avatar? A spiritual leader?"

[onlythepinkest]

"You can say that. In my world, bending is normal, but most of us can only bend one element or other things occasionally. The Avatar learns how to bend all four elements. He's supposed to be the the world's last hope for peace, but with the war going on with the Fire Nation, it's not that simple. Honestly... I think it's better that he wins the war, but that's probably not something I should say," And just like that she seemed to become a bit more pensive.

She should be rooting for the Fire Nation and Azula, but... even she knew that things were getting out of hand. She cared about Azula obviously, but with Zuko "betraying" them to help the Avatar... Ty Lee really thought it was better for him. She really had no qualms about it.

"I guess I should be supporting the Fire Nation, but I can't bring myself to do it anymore. I don't really regret my actions back home, I just... wish that I didn't have to hurt Azula like I did..." she let out a sigh.

[broceanking]

"Bending sounds kind of like the semblances we have in our world. Although, ours aren't limited to just the four elements. Are you a bender at all?"

Well, this conversation wasn't really going down the road he expected. But he was honestly curious about her world, so it was still nice to learn any kind of information about it.

"War isn't really a cut and dry sort of thing. There's no reason you can't support the people of the Fire Nation that are supporting the effort for peace."

[onlythepinkest]

She really should have kept it simple, but she knows where Azula stands in a number of people's minds and... Being associated to her wasn't something that she was ashamed of, but she also didn't want people to get the wrong idea.

"No, I'm not a bender myself, but I can block chi," she shrugged. "I think... once this is all said and done... Zuko would be a great Fire Lord. I know he and the Avatar can bring peace and the war can end. Until then, I guess I'll just be trapped back home, but that's okay.

But now they needed something more... positive because she didn't intend to make this conversation go down hill. "You said something about semblances? What are those like?" hopefully that would be a better conversation.

[broceanking]

Admittedly, he had been a little confused by the whole situation at first, but he was starting to see what was going on. If anything, it just made it obvious that Ty Lee was a good person that didn't want to do anything to hurt her friends.

"You can block chi? I'm assuming that ends up blocking bending?"

He takes a moment to think of how to best explain semblances. "It's a lot like bending, I think. Most people are able to control something, whether it be elemental like bending, or something like light to create illusions."

[onlythepinkest]

"That's right. It's more than just bending though. I can basically put someone's arm to sleep for a while so it's unusable if I need to. Although, I don't really know how long it takes for it to wear off exactly because I've never really had to worry about it before," she nodded as she explained.

"I see... Does everyone have one from your world?" and after a short pause to think for a moment, "If so, what's yours like?"

[broceanking]

"That's pretty amazing. I wonder if it would work on semblances, too... I can't imagine why it wouldn't." He vaguely wonders how, or if, it'd affect dust usage.

"No, not everyone. Again, it's a lot like bending from what it sounds like. Oh. Mine is [insert whatever his semblance might be here]."

[onlythepinkest]

"Hmm... I could probably show you, but it'll have to be later. It... wouldn't be any good to do it on a date, after all," she grinned slightly. "Ah, I see. That's really interesting. And you said there's various kinds?"

[broceanking]

"I'll definitely take you up on that. But yeah, I don't think now would be good. I'd like to be able to keep using my arms."

He nodded. "It can be control over pretty much anything. Which can make for some pretty interesting fights. Especially when you add Dust to the mix."

[onlythepinkest]

Laughing lightly to that, "That... might be useful here."

"Dust? I've only vaguely heard about that from Weiss, but I'm not exactly sure what that is," she commented.
