[Hymn #26] [Movement]

[nightcrossed]

[Tear is on break at the cafe. She's out back practicing strikes and blocks with a broom since the manager is making her leave her weapons at home these days (they scare off the costumers, he says). Some of her hair is falling out of her ponytail at this point, and she'll doubtless have to fix it before the manager allows her to go back to waiting tables.

Fighting air isn't quite the same as sparring with Legretta, but at least she can relearn the motions, and at least the movement interrupts her thinking about what Van might be doing back in her own world.]

(I wonder how I can get back. Are hunting down suspicious objects and being present when the island does something strange going to be enough?)

[Swing.]

(Van. What are you up to? Who else have you dragged into this?)

[Swing.]

(I don't understand. Is this "Score" really such a terrible thing? What is it exactly and why do you hate it so much?)

[Swing.]

(I'm so sure there are people around me suffering right now. Rena seemed sad... I need to do something.)

[Swings harder. The motions yanks at the muscles in her arms and forces her to stop.]

From what I've seen of the Prinnies, they aren't exactly... smart. I wouldn't let that get to you.

Ahh, I see. Hey, nothing wrong with that! It's best to use whatever you're most comfortable with, after all.

Practice can only help you to improve!

Hnn... I had no idea. My impression was that they have a very strict master, but I'm not sure who that person might be. They seemed to enjoy being petted, though...

Yes, of course. Besides, the only arte I've remembered is a healing ability. I don't think a gun would be very useful in that sort of situation.

And yes, you're absolutely right. By the way... am I still invited to watch you practice next time? I remember you mentioning it once before. I think it could be beneficial to see how everyone else fights.

I don't know much about them, so I can't say.

Hahaha, no, probably not. But you never know!

Of course! You're welcome to anytime. I'd love to see what you can do, as well!

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

I suppose not.

All right, then. I don't mind showing you what I can do. I doubt you'll find it particularly interesting, however.

[bulletserenade.livejournal.com]

Why wouldn't I find it interesting? Just 'cause you don't use a gun doesn't mean it'll bore me!

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

No, I don't mean that.
My abilities are far from complete, that's all.

[bulletserenade.livejournal.com]

Mine aren't complete, either! That would be boring.

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

I guess you're right about that. It would be rather boring.

[bulletserenade.livejournal.com]

So we can train together, then!

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

[Smiles slightly.]
All right then.
I see no reason to object to having a training partner.

[bulletserenade.livejournal.com]

Great! We can only improve, then!
