Cup 019: Iroh [In Person]

[ginsengismyfave.livejournal.com]

[Iroh is inside the safehouse.  He's already checked and double-checked all the entrances and openings to make sure they're safe and secure.  After a few run-ins with the walking dead, he's not eager to see them again, and making sure everyone else is safe and secure is top priority.  And not infected.  That too.  He's heard people talking about what the undead can do...

There are a few cooking pots of water he's managed to get and boil to make sure they're purified.]  If only we had tea leaves...  [Oh well.

He walks around the house, looking for people who need his help.  One of the water pots is in his hand, along with a ladle to serve it out.]

[Jack and zombies definitely don't get along. Especially after his fiasco with some on board the Queen Anne's Revenge that took orders from Blackbeard. He's still trying to figure out how the dead can walk but hey, he's had seen his share of the supernatural. Best not to question it and simply survive.]

I sometimes close my eyes and pretend this is all one bad dream. That's how I get by.

[He smirks and takes the ladle.]

You don't happen to have any rum, do you not?

Would that I could pretend that as well. But we've been at the manor for so long now that I know this has to be real. To some extent, anyway.

[He grins at Jack's question.] Trust me, my friend, if I did I'd be sharing it with you now. But water's all we got and it'll keep us alive. What we also need is food.

[Jack grins and sips the water.]

At the very least, we still have our heads and our lives intact. Cheers, since cheer is all we have left to keep us sane and less heavy, eh?

[He reaches in and pulls out a strip of jerky.]

It's a start.

Indeed. Times like this our will and spirit is what keeps us afloat. I've seen terrible things before in my life, Captain Jack. War and death. And while I kept myself going through those times, I've found that the company and spirit of others is a great help.

[Breaking the preserved meat apart and offers one to Iroh, Jack grins.]

In the case of cases where the will is often broken down by repressive influences, I find that having the shared company of another that happens to know and experience such likely negative helps the understanding of those that never encountered said misfortunes.

A song, if you will, my dear jubobo player!

[Someone forgot what the horn was called.]

A Tsungi horn :)

Well, that's rather more words than I would have put it in, but I agree.

[Iroh takes the strip of jerky and begins to worry it with his teeth. He manages to get a chunk off and chews.]

I'm afraid my Tsungi horn is back at the manor [despite what the icon may indicate]. But I do enjoy singing. If you know any songs, please, join me.
