[ Good afternoon, Johto. Y'might be greeted to an odd sight today as Xion's Gear comes alive thanks to Bell the Togekiss (who somehow has managed to work it despite not having any... arms, per se). ]

Hah! Yah!

[ Wooden Keyblade in hand, Xion's swinging at an invisible enemy like this. A jump, and she tries an air combo. Least she's not doing any of the fancy stuff she knows, and even if she could, her now human body would make it difficult to do so anyway.

But the expression on her face... and the amount of force it looks like she's putting into the swings... Someone hasn't had a good night nor sleep, that's for sure.

She stops when Axel the Typhlosion walks into view. Training time? Don't we all love some training time! Xion goes into a stance until Axel fires a spurt of bright, hot flames at her. Dodge roll, then she swings at his chest, but obviously makes sure she misses on purpose. She doesn't want to hurt him.

A minute or two of this passes, and somehow, Bahamut the Gible scampers into view. He bumps into the back of Xion's leg, making her stumble slightly, distracting her enough that she can't stop Axel from swiping her wooden Keyblade out of her hand. Clattering to the side and out of reach, Xion only has a few moments before Axel swipes at her again. Guess what happens when you take a Keyblade out of their wielder's hand? Especially when she can't summon it back...

No hand-to-hand experience, either. She tries to block the blow, but then he just... headbutts her. Bearing in mind Bahamut is still behind her, she tries to fall where she doesn't squish him.

Thud.

Xion: 0 | Axel: 1

She lets out a shuddering sigh, maybe a bit frustrated, but not at Axel or anything. At least Bahamut walked out unscathed as he comes up to her face and licks her cheek, but she doesn't move herself from the sandy floor. ]

I need to change this.

[ Seeing all this, Bell thinks the spectacle's over and shuts the feed. ]

For fun, or obligation?

[voice]

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

Obligation, I guess.

[voice]

[shellderkillder.livejournal.com]

You seem rather young for obligations.

[voice]

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

That's what I've been told, but it seemed normal at the time.

[voice]

[shellderkillder.livejournal.com]

... I am guessing you did not have much of a choice.

[voice]

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

... Not until the end.

[voice]

[shellderkillder.livejournal.com]

Hmm.

But you still enjoy exercising your skills, I see.

[voice]

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

Who knows? I might need them someday. [ She says this casually. She doubts the chance she needs to, but it wouldn't hurt if something, somehow, popped up. ]

It keeps my mind occupied, at least.

[voice]

[shellderkillder.livejournal.com]

Ah, that is an attitude I can respect.

[voice]

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

[ Blinks. ] Do you do any training yourself?

[voice]

[shellderkillder.livejournal.com]

... I... enjoy keeping myself in good shape, despite my age.

It is merely a hobby.

[voice]

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

Then I can say mine is the same. [ Pause. ] But what do you mean by "ambitious"?

[voice]

[shellderkillder.livejournal.com]

Well, when you jumped... What exactly were you trying to do?

[voice]

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

Hit an airborne target.

[voice]

[shellderkillder.livejournal.com]

... Normally, that should be done with a firearm.

[voice]

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

Really? [ Not a firearm person. ]

[voice]

[shellderkillder.livejournal.com]

Or a more long-ranged weapon, at least.

[voice]

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

Oh, if that's the case... I would have used magic, but I still prefer using my weapon.

[voice]

[shellderkillder.livejournal.com]

... Ah. I see.

[voice]

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

Yes?

[voice]

[shellderkillder.livejournal.com]

... Well, there is no magic in my world, so there isn't much I can say about that.

[voice]

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

Back home, I could jump much higher than I can here.

[voice]

[shellderkillder.livejournal.com]

Ah. That explains it, then.

[voice]

[ordalias.livejournal.com]

Did you have monsters?

[voice]

[shellderkillder.livejournal.com]

Not the literal sort.
