Um, excuse me, would anyone here mind a spar with me? I don't want to hurt anyone but ...I think it's been a while since I last fought someone. I'm a Crystal Eren so that means I'm not a physical fighter...

[After a couple of seconds, Shirley thought about it some more]

Actually, I want to ask, would anyone mind teaching me how to fight using your fists? I think I might need some help training...  [And you know, getting ready for the Fishlympics] 

I'll promise that I'll teach you about Crystal Erens in return!

[ . . .

No. No, it was not going to happen like this.]


You should warm up first, Merines. Basic stretches should do.

[It only made sense that something like that would stand out. There was a stark difference between their styles. Senel leaned toward his fists and upper body strength with a solid foundation -- Shirley's stretches as of now reflected such focuses, and Walter found his fingers curling in to his palm.

He gave her five minutes.]


That should be enough. Are you ready now?

Punches. Those seem like they'd come to you easiest.

[Then he fell silent, waiting for her to do just that. With all that exposure to Senel, she must have an idea of how to curl her hands, at least.]

[Walter observed her with crossed arms. The idea of giving her a lesson on fisticuffs still did not sit well with him, but it was just the one today.]

Don't be afraid to give it your all. One hard punch can make all the difference.

[He stepped closer, glancing down at her feet.]

Form can be a deciding factor between weak and strong. Your body should twist with the motion.

Much better.

[But it reeked of Senel.

. . . ]


Merines. What happened in the Wings of Light?

[personal profile] asea 2012-07-31 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
. . . What?

[He tensed the second she uttered "never," feeling his heart palpitating more at the thought of Orerines still roaming their world -- his face burning up, his arms at his side and hands curling into tight fists. It was a familiar feeling that had mellowed somewhat in his dull stay at Vatheon.

He was angry. Angry at -- ]


What did Senel say to you?

[The words came out harshly as he spat out the name in utter disdain.

Logic was not the first thing on his mind right now.]
asea: (77)

action; Senel smells, he can get out.

[personal profile] asea 2012-07-31 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
[He blamed Senel.

He was confused. There had to be more than that. Why would Senel's words have even mattered in her reborn state?

But his brows only creased more intensely the harder his mind tried to sort it out. He stared for a little while, aggravated. He didn't believe there was anything to learn from the Orerines -- anything good.

Nerifes had agreed, supposedly.]


Is this truly the will of Nerifes?

[Thought this was the better way.

The better way.

Even now -- especially now -- he couldn't wrap his mind around how this was supposed to be better. The gap should have been impossible to close. It was ridiculous to think it.

But apparently people had thought it, and Walter's expression hardened, trying to keep everything straight.]


. . . then the rest of the Ferines agreed to this change.

[Thyra and Schwartz.

They seemed like names he should know. But he didn't. Still, Thyra was clearly Ferines -- the one he might have agreed with on gut instinct.

. . . Then who was the other?

She was dumping hardly any information on him, but the few that she had imparted left him more than a little overwhelmed. Gaze trained on her, he kept quiet; a silent indication to go on. Elaborate. End it there. Anything.]

[He was quiet again. Shaking his head, he offered quietly,]

. . . no, Merines. That kind of death serves no cause.

[Walter found nothing humorous about it.]

[She was right to doubt it. It might have been a pleasant thought, but Walter had no mind for it, still fixated on the detail that she hadn't repeated history. For the better.]

None of that would have happened if the Cataclysm had succeeded . . .

Then what could Nerifes have meant?

[It wasn't a challenge so much as he genuinely couldn't think of another reason. Nothing that would warrant the end of even their kind.]

Merines, what --

[The pinch didn't hurt; rather, it surprised him, and he was clearly taken back by the physical contact.]

But the Ferines all mean to rally under your name. There shouldn't be disagreements so quickly . . .
