[spandexisyouth]

Morning Training happens every day in the city, and most days get handwaved. Once a month a log goes up to play out interactions and teaching. It happens from 6 am to 9 am, and this time it's happening December 31st, in-game.

[He'll fight defensively for now, parrying and dodging. He's keeping a close eye on Naoto, and every now and then makes sudden attacks to keep her on her toes. Better pay attention, or he won't hesitate to hit.]

[pishirogane]

[Yes, she's attentive. Still, were she to get hit, she would be grateful. Takuto refuses to strike.]

[timelessummoner.livejournal.com]

[Well, he's going for her sword arm. Not hard enough to break bones, but it'll hurt if it connects.]

[pishirogane]

[Okay, that was way too close. Though, her evasion has left a small opening.]

[timelessummoner.livejournal.com]

[He's not letting that opening go unexploited. He swings, an attack that would be a slash if they were using real swords, aiming for her ribs.]

[pishirogane]

Ugh...

[That does hurt. She back pedals, rubbing the tender spot, but keeps her sword forward, ready again.]

[timelessummoner.livejournal.com]

Do you wish to keep going?

[He wasn't planning on beating on her too much, but he'll keep pushing if she wants him to.]

[pishirogane]

Yes. We can keep going.

[It would take a few more than that hit to make her stop training.]

[timelessummoner.livejournal.com]

As you wish. [Raidou approves. He's going for the offense again. He's moving more now, darting around her to force her to keep moving. Learning to keep track of her own movements and surroundings should be helpful.]

[pishirogane]

[And she's back on defense. Yes, she has to become more aware of her surroundings, but she's slowly learning. Can't rely on her Weapon abilities like this.]

Do you want to keep going or skip to the end of the practice?

[timelessummoner.livejournal.com]

[The cold is long forgotten; nothing warms you up like a good battle. Raidou keeps up the attacks, not giving her a chance to catch her breath this time.]

We can skip

[pishirogane]

[And Naoto's doing what she can to keep up. She'll have to take whatever opportunities she notices and try getting this at least somewhat in her favor.]

Okay

[timelessummoner.livejournal.com]

[He does have to back off more than once to avoid being hit. By the time they are done, he's winded and feeling invigorated from the exercise.]

I think this will do for now. Unless you would like to continue?

[pishirogane]

[She took a few more hits, but kept going. Actually, she's proud that she was about to wind him at all]

No, this will do for today. Thank you, Kuzunoha-san.

[timelessummoner.livejournal.com]

Not at all. You have my gratitude as well - I thoroughly enjoyed our match.

[He's rather impressed by how fast she has learnt.]

[pishirogane]

I enjoyed it as well. Would you like to spar again on a later date?

[She's just quick to adapt.]

[timelessummoner.livejournal.com]

[He nods.] I would be glad to.

[pishirogane]

[She nods back]

Training with you has definitely been a learning experience. How long have you been working on your abilities?

[timelessummoner.livejournal.com]

Ever since I was a child. I must have been... [He pauses, thinking back.] ... eight or nine years old, although of course I did not use real swords until later.

[pishirogane]

I see. You certainly committed yourself... that's very commendable.

[timelessummoner.livejournal.com]

Ah... Thank you. I merely did what was expected of me.

[pishirogane]

So, your occupation is part of your lineage as well...

[Seems that way for everyone she knows.]

[timelessummoner.livejournal.com]

Yes. Our duties date back to the Heian period, though naturally we have had to adjust as circumstances have changed.

[pishirogane]

[She nods, amazed that his family has gone for so long.]

[timelessummoner.livejournal.com]

It took a while before detective work became part of our training, but it has been a valuable asset for fulfilling our other responsibilities.
