[Action]

[Squall still hadn't quite grown accustomed to this Garden of the future. It was strange, all the different faces in a place that was... ... ...well home, for lack of anything else. He'd missed a lot. Still he was part of Garden and he just had to get used to it. ...If he could get over his natural anti-social tendencies. He didn't really talk to people much of his own volition, but he'd been walking around more than he might have if this were the right time period, noticing things, matching faces with ranks and just getting a general idea of who all these people were.

Today you can find him in one of three places as I shamelessly rip off Japan's log format yep:

A You see Squall in the Quad, examining the Home Ec class's garden. At least until he gets too close to a certain tree and a flock of birds take flight, diving straight for him. Yes that is your Commander covering his head and trying to get away from a swarm of angered animals. No there's no dignity today.

B You see Squall in the Garage. He's looking over the latest cars Garden's acquired, hey he likes cool things what can he say. Goes with the belts. Too bad it'd be a total abuse of authority to take these out for a joyride...

C You see Squall in the Training Center, taking out some grats with a frown on his face. Hey the Commander's got to stay in shape too! It's really convenient Time Compression brought his gunblade along, he'd hate to have to ask where present Squall's is. Or present Squall is in general. ...He seriously hopes present Squall isn't dead or something, wow maybe he should stop thinking about this. Back to taking out those grats.]

[She all but throws herself backwards, the blade passing over her as she turns the motion into a smooth roll. When her shoulders hit the ground she uses the muscles of her spine and her momentum to snap her legs up and twist. The motion spins her body, so her twin gunblades arc out as she comes up, the better to discourage anyone from getting too close.]

[When he feet gain the ground again, she's in a defensive crouch, one blade back, the other at extension before her. She grins at him, a feral, savage expression masked slightly by strands of hair that have come down over her face.]

[This would be the perfect chance to cast a hostile spell on him... but she hasn't even taken the classes for that yet. Oops.]

[Well then. She advances forward with calm side-steps, always keeping her profile and the front blade presented -- then the sidestep turns into an abrupt lunge that drives the tip of her blade towards him. But off-center. It wavers a bit, drifting towards the right side of his torso.]

[That, however, is a feint! There are a couple of tells, though, the largest one being that she reverses the trailing gunblade with a twist of the wrist as she moves. Its new position is more awkward to hold in defense but better suited to slash once he'd taken the bait of aggressively countering that seemingly weak strike. She'd have been better off not twisting it till she began her attack.]

[In any other situation she would've kept going -- find some way to press the attack no matter what the circumstances. But this is the Commander and one of her idols holding the most awesome gunblade created to her neck. So, a pause, while she visibly fights down her own drive and adrenaline.]

[She's not sure if she should be proud or disappointed.]


What -- [Her voice is thick, she swallows] What gave away the feint?

[She lets her own blades settle, control finally coming back fully.]

Sir, I trained under Captain Kartany of the Dollet Army.

[WTR101 doesn't count in the least.]

Sir!

[She's suddenly a little shy.]

...Maybe again sometime?

[Ooh, ouch. She had been trying...]

[She just needs to get better. And she knows this.]


Yes, sir. I'll look forward to it.
