[ This guy..? She stares up at him, squinting against the harsh sunlight. Sure, she can see the hand he offers, but her pride is too strong - even now - to just plainly grab it and get up that way. ]

.. A.. as if I don't know that myself. [ So instead she's still sitting where she was sitting before, only a little more huffy now. ]

[tauborn]

[He takes his hand back, a little miffed. But his level of pride isn't anywhere near hers, so he continues smiling warmly at her.]

Trying to get some sun, then? [He steps out of the way to stop blocking it. The sun doesn't seem to be drooling so much today, which is nice.]

[huntressing]

No. I.. still need to continue.

[ At least now she does get up, even if it's by herself. It happens slowly and she almost looks a little pained so it's probably painfully awkward to watch for most people, but she still goes on until she's fully standing up again. ]

I need to get stronger still. I cannot allow myself to be crushed.

[tauborn]

[He takes a small step back. Honestly, he hadn't pegged her as a girl with this much determination.]

...Are you in danger of being crushed?

[huntressing]

Isn't everyone? Such is the way of the world. [ But even so, her tone doesn't sound as cold as it usually does, as distant - she's so exhausted that it echoes back a little in the way her tone sounds. ]

If you're not on your guard, you'll get crushed. It's not a kind place.

[tauborn]

[He shrugs.] I guess so. [And then he smiles.] But there is still kindness in it.

What do you do for your training routine?

[huntressing]

..

[ It's a somewhat awkward question, since today she didn't really keep herself to any routine - she just trained as hard as she could until she felt too exhausted. A sheer fit of emotions, as far as she's concerned, but she doesn't want to reveal her weakness that easily. Masako bites her lower lip before she answers. ]

It varies from day to day. You've got to take the weather circumstances into account here too..

[tauborn]

[He nods, understanding completely. The weather generally has nothing to do with a good training routine. At least, that's what Kaoru-sensei always made him believe. Still, he continues smiling and talking nonchalantly like a blithe teenager.]

Do you do any sparring or resonance training? Or do you mostly stick to physical exercise? I tend to focus on swordsmanship unless I'm about to head out on a mission.

[huntressing]

Physical exercise, shooting practice, sparring, anything that'll help.. [ She groans though. Even moving parts of her body hurt by now, huh? It's her own fault for exhausting herself, but then again, she's not exactly in the best state of mind. ]

It doesn't matter right now either way.

[tauborn]

[He nods, because it sounds like she's got a relatively well-rounded routine. Except for resonance. She hadn't mentioned that at all, and that's actually pretty important for anyone who wants to go on a mission.]

What do you mean it doesn't matter now?

[huntressing]

.. Today's training wasn't quite like usual. [ Saying anything more about it feels like confessing her weakness though, how she actually does get emotional too, so she swallows any other words. ]

That's all. So I couldn't exactly tell you anything useful about it.
