[shihandai]

I do. Takuto is one of my pupils. And one of my closest friends. [she glances at him with a wry smile. ]

And I take it you're his Partner.

[lionborn]

[Sadly he doesn't know that (and is used to getting A LOT of racism for what he is), but his pose relaxes ever so slightly when she doesn't reacts to what she sees.

Her reaction makes him snort and smirk, though. Figuring from her clothes that she ought to understand Japanese he switches to his native language, Tokyo-accent and all.]

Don't I know~ But maybe relaxing a bit more would help. Your body language's pretty much screaming that something's up.

[shihandai]

That's right. My Father..was a great man. [something borderline worshipful enters Kaoru's voice as she looks out over the field]

For many years he worked for a style that didn't promote killing--despite what everyone said, he created it. While everyone was using Satsujin-ken, 'Swords that give Death' my father created 'Katsujin-ken' 'Swords that Give Life'.

Unfortunately..he left this world in the Seinan War before I could fully master Kamiya Kasshin Ryu. [her smile drops a little but she laughs it off, smiling]

So I'm going to master it by myself while teaching my apprentices, you know?

[tuned_wrong]

Since recently. I was going to reject his proposal but the boy has a thick skull and a strong punch when he thinks that you are being stupid. [He grimaces dramatically before slipping into a joking smile.]

I figured I should pay my visits to those he is close to, now that it's official. Meet the family, of sorts.

[lionborn]

... Should I ask what happened?

[megitsune]

[She bristles, arms straight-straight at her sides. It might be your imagination, it might not, but for a second it almost looks like she has a twitching fox tail and ears.]

[She blurts out her answer in Japanese too, her accent a mix of refinement from Aizu and the crass harshness of Edo all at the same time]

Tsk, how do you suggest I relax, you silly man! I woke up here and I can't get back home. Someone told me that it's been two hundred years or more since my time. And there's yet another war on here. With witches, of all things.

How much more absurd can my life get! What's next, I have to ride around in a giant peach? Or perhaps sleep in a stalk of bamboo?

[pathofstrength]

[If there is one thing that does not fly in Pokemon worlds, it's animal abuse. That's fifteen kinds of cowardly and violates some pretty basic rules of life.

Someone else feels a little sick now, and looks more and more appalled as the explanations goes on. A system like that is just...unfathomable.]

That's disgusting!

[She sounds revolted.]

[rebelwithaclock]

I see...that sounds tough. But I think--no, I know you can do it.

[pishirogane]

Just another war casualty you could say.

[scatterflower]

That's great!

What's your weapon form?

[wordsgate]

It's a bow.

Re: [open]

[scatterflower]

That's good!

So, you look like you're ready to get stared. You do a lot of fighting back home?

[scatterflower]

That's pretty cool. I trained with someone else who turned into a bow before. It was pretty nice practicing with a ranged weapon.

[dissenter]

[if anything, the compliment only makes him more abashed but he eventually acquiesces.

wakfung was his people's attempt to mimic the flow of wakfu itself -- to be an eddy in a stream, a flower in a windy field, a wave breaking on the sands. as for qilby -- his stream was rocky, his flower ragged, and his wave lackluster. his expression is troubled.

he speaks as he moves, his left sleeve hanging uselessly at his side.] It's been a very long time since I've had to revisit this -- if you asked me a few millennia ago I'd surely be able to give you a better demonstration.

[trageteas]

Different medicines? If they took the place of bandages, I'm impressed.

[dissenter]

[despite kasuka's efforts, qilby manages to be startled anyway -- partly because he'd been concentrating so intently on his movements, and partly because he still wasn't quite used to not being able to sense people before they were right up next to him.

but when he sees who it is, he smiles warmly and raises his hand in greeting.] Ah-- good morning, Kasuka!

[an apologetic look.] My apologies for not finding you sooner. I was merely brushing the dust off these limbs, so to speak... How have you found training, so far?

[dissenter]

[the voice that interrupts him this time is familiar, but just outside his grasp...

and when qilby turns around to get a look at the culprit, he's-- certainly not anyone he'd ever seen before. certainly not like anyone he'd ever seen before. the appraising look only lasts a moment, however-- he quickly offers a quirk of a smile.]

It's rather early in the morning for that, isn't it...? [but, he supposes, if the pandawas can do it...] I'm, aah-- just horribly mangling my people's style of fighting, that's all.

[pmsgargoyle]

Human childhood?

[nofarplaneyet]

Getting more in shape for combat?

[erostripperella]

Something like that. I also need to distract myself and training is perfect for that.

[nofarplaneyet]

*This guy seemed about as talkative as Khimari.*

You have a question?

[willing_sheath]

[O-oh that's weird... can she be seen like that in her tessen form...? She had only transformed the one time, and it wasn't exactly high on the priority list to notice...]

[She stepped a bit closer, eyeing him up]

And you're sure you aren't going to burn me, right...?

[she is pretty sure she'll just wind up dropping him... but curiosity is winning out for the moment...]

....i don't have the icon for this pose uploaded yet. whoops.

[pathofstrength]

Mm-hm!

[Sapphire drops into a ready stance to demonstrate - poised on her toes, legs deeply bent, hands loosely curled and held out in front of her like claws, and intent eyes over a challenge-ready grin. She looks positively feral.]

[nofarplaneyet]

What purpose are you going for? *Because beating up a dummy with a blunt object doesn't necessarily mean the same as being in battle.*

[nofarplaneyet]

*Oh yes, he's still stuck with one student.*

I didn't think I was for you any other day.
