[01] action, training center (target practice maybe?)

[kat-asks-later.livejournal.com]

[It might be odd to see the blood elf practicing with a Blaster Edge, but for tonight, that was the weapon she had chosen. Why? Because her single student had that as her weapon preference, and truthfully? It was not Katsura's first choice for a projectile weapon. She had always been most familiar with bows. Almost to the point where she might call herself biased.

So she had decided that it was probably best for her to brush up and reacquaint herself with one. And so she was.

She'll be here for a while...]

Instructor.

[That's a greeting by way of title, from the ninja leaning up against a tree nearby. He'd very deliberately snuck up to create that cool pose, so please appreciate it.]

[heartcorrupt.livejournal.com]

Sorry I'm late.

[And here's the second time you get startled by a ninja.]

[kat-asks-later.livejournal.com]

This isn't for a grade, so it isn't as if you're in trouble for being late. [Kat smiles.]

So where do you want to start? Showing me what you can do?

[kat-asks-later.livejournal.com]

SeeD Geraldine, was it? Hello. [She offers him a nod. Not startled. There's a hint of a smile on her lips.]

The night finds you well, I hope?

[flirtninja.livejournal.com]

Edge, please. I prefer it.

And well enough, though I could use a challenge. The training around here isn't up to my level.

[kat-asks-later.livejournal.com]

Then you must call me Kat. I prefer it. [Especially since they're about the same level professionally, right? She arches a brow.]

What sort of a challenge?

[heartcorrupt.livejournal.com]

Sure, but I don't have a dagger.

[flirtninja.livejournal.com]

It would be my pleasure. [He snaps his cape backwards dramatically as he bows.]

Oh, something that I can work up a sweat over.

[kat-asks-later.livejournal.com]

That's all right. I came prepared. [As usual. Probably not a surprise that Kat has picked up a few throwing daggers in her travels. After a bit of rummaging, she offers him one, hilt first.]

Go ahead, then. [She nods over where she had targets set up for her own use.]

[heartcorrupt.livejournal.com]

[Tobias takes it, carefully weighing it in his hands as he looks towards the targets. After a moment of hesitation, he tosses it.

Even with just one eye, he still manages a few inches from the center.]

[kat-asks-later.livejournal.com]

[It's a rather interesting expression on her face as she watches that. There's a little part of her wondering also, why these cadets are not in her class. But never mind that.]

Natural talent? Go ahead and practice some more.

[heartcorrupt.livejournal.com]

Alright.

[He retrieves the knife and begins to do so.]

Thank you for not saying anything. I don't want Espio to find out.

[kat-asks-later.livejournal.com]

{By the look on her face and the tugging at the corners of her mouth, she's somewhere between smiling outright and laughter. Sin'dorei are a proud people, and Kat isn't sure if he's teasing or serious.]

I am out of practice with my axes...

[kat-asks-later.livejournal.com]

I sort of figured that. Not that he may not in the future. I hope you considered that.

[Because with what she'd seen of the chameleon so far, Kat knew he wouldn't be pleased at all.]

Still, I'm an instructor. If you want teaching, it's my job, if not my duty, to provide it to you.

[flirtninja.livejournal.com]

I'd offer to spar but I couldn't bear to raise a weapon against such a lovely lady.

[kat-asks-later.livejournal.com]

[That tips her over to laughter, but it's friendly, and her cheeks are slightly pink.]

Not even if it was for said lady's own good?

[heartcorrupt.livejournal.com]

If he ends up okay with it in the future, then I'll tell him in the future.

[He smiles at that.]

I appreciate. Thank you.

[flirtninja.livejournal.com]

Maybe if it were, but I'd feel rather guilty going up against the Firearms and Projectiles teacher in my own specialty.

[kat-asks-later.livejournal.com]

And if I promised not to shoot at you later? Well, unless you wanted me to?

[Kat chuckles]

Would you feel better then?

[flirtninja.livejournal.com]

I think you underestimate my not-getting-hit skills.

If you're really intent on it, though...?

[kat-asks-later.livejournal.com]

You can stop in my room or my office any time you need, and if you catch me here, you're certainly welcome to participate.

So if you don't mind my asking, what sort of weapons do you prefer, then? [Mostly curiosity, but that is part of her job...]

[heartcorrupt.livejournal.com]

[He's quiet for a minute.]

None, really. I focus in para-magic. I just wanted something I could use at people on long range without it.

[kat-asks-later.livejournal.com]

Fair enough. I was just curious. And that's a good enough reason as any to pick this up.

[Better than some, anyway.]

[heartcorrupt.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I don't really like hurting people unless I have to defend myself or something. This seemed like a good choice, if I could learn to throw it straight...

[kat-asks-later.livejournal.com]

Well, in truth, I wasn't prepared for that, so...perhaps some other time?
