Nanami shook her head, "no, nothing like that, it would appear that he was sent home which seems par for the course around here. That's why it's not a good idea to get too attached to anyone. Well anyway," she changed the topic, "I'm Nanami, I've been here for a little under two months and I'm a Weapon, pleased to make your acquaintance."

[feelsgoodinyou]

"Bakura, I'm Meister. I arrived last November, meaning that it has been almost five months for me by now. It's my pleasure." He smiled amiably. "I wish I could say more about the topic of partners but I seem to find only the worst of those."

[morecowbell]

"The worst? What do you mean by that?"

[feelsgoodinyou]

"That one ran off in the middle of a fight to kill stuff, one fainted on me right when a yeti tried to eat us and the third almost got me drowned." He pretended to sigh. Looking at it like that all the Weapons here really were useless.

"It doesn't help that nobody here seems to want to let themselves rely on the other when things get rough."

[morecowbell]

"So a psychopath, and a couple of wimps? I guess I've had better luck with Meisters than you have with Weapons because so far I can't complain other than the emotional baggage that comes along with it." She shifted her weight to her other leg. "What kind of Weapon are you in the market for?"

[feelsgoodinyou]

He shrugged his shoulders and kept his smile firm in place. He'd use whatever Weapon came his way as long as he wold get to use it effectively. "A strong one. I prefer knives or swords that suit my frame, but I'm not entirely unversed with more exotic weapons either."

[morecowbell]

"I pretty strong," she stated her eyes locking on his in a show of confidence, "but I'm not looking for any permanent arrangements. If you don't mind a mission here and there you can try me on for size." She glanced up at the sky in thought for a moment thinking that the way she stated that might have been a little strange before quickly shaking her head and returning her gaze to the Bakura's face.

[feelsgoodinyou]

"Now a coincidence, neither do I." He smirked lightly. "I'm all for trying new things out and loose relationships, you could say. Things feel nicer if you don't feel obligated." He measured her with a sizing look. "What kind of Weapon are you?"

[morecowbell]

"I couldn't agree more," she replied shifting the mundane sword she had been practicing with to her non dominant hand. Then holding her left arm out to the side, she transformed it into her curved blade. "Think you can manage?" She asked with a smirk.

" instead erk, how did I manage to type "now" instead of "what" up there,?! Sorry! ><;

[feelsgoodinyou]

His pale eyes darted towards the curved blade and his face turned into a frown as he tried to figure out what type of blade she might be by the shape of the edge alone for a moment. Then he smiled.

"I'm confident that I can."

lol I didn't really notice...

[morecowbell]

"It's settled then. Would you like to try resonating now?" She asked transforming the blade back to her arm.

[feelsgoodinyou]

"Ready any time you are." Still smirking, he offered her his hand.

[morecowbell]

The blond took his hand but remained as she was. "I do have one teeny, tiny stipulation. If you wouldn't mind just turning your head for a moment while I transform..." No one had given her any flack about this requirement yet so she continued to request it.

[feelsgoodinyou]

He blinked at the request. "I could do that, but why?"

[morecowbell]

"What? That's b..because," she tripped over her words a bit getting flustered, "that's just.. it's personal."

[feelsgoodinyou]

"You know that that won't work in a real fight, right?" He sounded somewhat perplexed at the idea of a bashful weapon.

[morecowbell]

"But you could just.. If I just stood... but you won't be paying attention in an actual fight." Seeeee? She had a point! "Because you should be focusing on the enemy."

[feelsgoodinyou]

He gave her a look that said exactly what he thought of that kind of logic but then he just sighed and shook his bangs out of his face, hinting a headshake about something else. Bakura wasn't going to fight her over this as long as he didn't even know whether or not it was worth it.

"Fine, then." He pointedly looked to the side albeit all his senses remained alert. One didn't remain a successful never mind living thief for long without a healthy dose of paranoia.

[morecowbell]

While she didn't much appreciate the look he gave her to begin with she was satisfied with his final response which was to turn his eyes away. Nanami took a deep breath in and quickly transformed. "There, not so bad, right?"

[feelsgoodinyou]

"If I said yes I'd lie." He smiled and reached out to take the handle of the blade. He wasn't going to go for resonation with this one right away, not after he scared the other girl earlier off for seemingly good by doing just that. It was a pity that everybody seemed to think that resonances had to be pleasant.

[morecowbell]

It would take a lot to scare Nanami away since she'd probably take it as some sort of challenge if he brought it up. She'd tried with the overzealous Takuto who managed to make her feel like she was going to explode from his dazzling pressure and while he let her know she was going to be jumping in the deep end, she hadn't realized the deep end was a mile deep. They'd managed to even it up eventually and she was confident she could manage with anybody. But she'd been wrong before...

"Why don't you try out a few swings?" She suggested.

[feelsgoodinyou]

"I will." He concentrated for a moment. Then he adjusted his grip on the scimitar's handle and started to swing the weapon against a couple of imaginary enemies. The moves were short, fast and powerful like the jabs of a snake as he slowly let his wavelength run stronger through the blade.

His wavelength was difficult to describe in a way as it was a lot like the creeping sensation one might have had when one went into a long forgotten grave just to suddenly realize that one wasn't the only thing in there after one had went too far to get out quickly. There was a lurking sensation in it, malicious, but not aimlessly so. Much pride and confidence, too.

[morecowbell]

Nanami felt for his wavelength immersing herself as if she were tasting some expensive dish that had been ordered at the finest restaurant. His wavelength wasn't very pleasant and quite the contrast to everyone else she had resonated with thus far. She attributed this to the past he had briefly described to her and accepted it as it was. In return, she sent back the wavelength of a child who maybe bit off more than they could chew but defiantly continued because of pride.

[feelsgoodinyou]

His wavelength reacted to her lack of fighting back, settling over hers heavily but not continuing to push past a sense of clearly wanting to be the one in charge. There was a faint sense of a question carrying with it - would she accept his leadership and have them act together or would she refuse it and risk a clash?

[morecowbell]

Heavy was an apt way of describing her current state. She briefly wondered if this guy had some sort of chip on his shoulder, or maybe a giant bronze statue... and his idea of resonating was to share the weight, or drop the weight completely on her. Okay, she might be exaggerating a little but the feeling was heavy like Takuto's was dense. It wasn't something she couldn't work with but, "hey, can we even this thing up just a little bit more?"
