[Past curfew, Yuu is clambering up a tree some ways away from the boys' tents with a flashlight clenched in his teeth. He's not the best tree climber around, but he can get the job done.

He's not making much attempt to be stealthy, so it's not outside the realm of possibility that someone might take notice of him. He also intends to be out here most of the night.]

[Hey. Where are you going there, bestie? Minato's got his flashlight and following you there. Not climbing up after you just yet, but shining said flashlight up into the tree.]

... Yuu.

[action]

[last_liar]

[Yuu squints back at Minato and slips, though he doesn't fall.]

Hey. Did I wake you up?

[action]

[jivitadana]

[Hey again. No falling allowed! Minato shook his head.]

I was awake already.

[Not so surprising since he usually stayed up later anyway.]

[action]

[last_liar]

[Yuu gets up on his branch and turns his flashlight off.]

I couldn't sleep.

[action]

[jivitadana]

[Minato kept his flashlight on just until he got up on the same branch and joined Yuu there.]

You want to talk about it?

[He knows when you are sleeping. He knows when you're awake.

He knows when you are climbing trees omg what is this tag~]

[last_liar]

[And now he knows how Yuu flails when he falls out of a tree.]

[Mental Function+Print Screening...Complete.]

That was lacking a little finesse, Aikawa.

[last_liar]

[Yuu looks up and rubs his head, feeling for blood, then sits up.]

I wasn't really ready for it.

[has_signed_on]

[This look. But he holds out a hand to Yuu.]

Hopefully not meaning you were getting ready to fall...?

[usskickass]

[It doesn't take much struggling on Yuu's part for Beiste to turn her flashlight on him. In a tree. Huh.]

What in google's monkey pants are you doin', kid?

[last_liar]

[Yuu squints and takes a minute to wrap his mind around that phrase.]

...What?

[usskickass]

[Even Beiste hesitates. She isn't sure about that one.]

Why're you climbin' trees at this time of night?

[last_liar]

I couldn't sleep.

[usskickass]

Uh. This don't seem to be the way to fix that. And it's after curfew anyhow. Can't you just hang out in your tent?

[battleaxebass]

Henchman!

[Oh, you are in so much trouble Yuu. You are supposed to be helping your master tonight!]

Where have you been? I've looked all over for you!

[ba dum tish]

[last_liar]

You were looking for me?

[Says the dude up a tree.]

[battleaxebass]

Yes!

[Marceline turns into a bat and flies up, crossing her little bat arms in a huff.]

You have to help me tonight!

[last_liar]

Sure. What do you need help with?

[battleaxebass]

Pranks.

[She is so dead serious about this.]

[aangairnomad]

[Curfew? What curfew? The Avatar has no curfew! As such, Aang is riding on his air scooter slowly through the trees, admiring the wildlife. The glimmer of a flashlight from above catches his attention and he looks up, squinting through the darkness. He can barely make the form of a young man trying to climb up the tree.]

Hey! Hey you! Do you need help getting up there?

[Action]

[last_liar]

Ah-- [Yuu slips a bit but manages not to fall. He takes the flashlight out of his mouth and tucks it into his pocket instead.] Um...no, I can do it. Maybe.

[Action]

[aangairnomad]

Are you sure?

[He waits for a moment before bringing his arms downwards, forcing the wind current to propel him upwards into the tree. He lands on a branch, wobbling slightly as he finds his balance.]

I can help you get to the top, if that's what you're aiming for.

[Aang glances down at the ground.]

...That's a pretty long drop. I don't think it would be good if you fell.

[Action]

[last_liar]

[Yuu manages to pull himself up on a branch below Aang.]

How'd you do that?

[Action]

[aangairnomad]

Easy!

[He looks down at Yuu with a smile.]

I used my airbending. Do you have airbenders where you come from?
