[Video | Action]

[ 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. ]

Maybe. After all, you can never be too sure.

[ Blinks, surprised at the second question. ]

I.. no. At least, I would never want to kill anyone.

You need to understand that anytime you engage in a fight, whether it is with a weapon or by your own hands, that you may end up having to kill your opponent.

[ A deep breath. ]

It becomes a lot more personal when you kill someone with your fingers than with a blade held tightly within them.

... because you're actually touching them, right?

[personal profile] ex_cashcow493 2011-09-06 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
That is correct. Some men never recover from having to kill with their bare hands.

... it must be even worse if it's your friend...

Right. You must be cautious. I do not tell you this to upset you, but to prepare you so that you are not heartbroken when such a situation occurs.

But what if I'm careful? If I just know enough to make them stop...

Everyone is capable of making mistakes. Assumptions made in combat are a common offense. You must learn from someone adept in training others.

[ A pause. Well, she does need something to do besides breed Pokemon. ]

... If you like. I would not object to it.

[identity profile] ordalias.livejournal.com 2011-09-07 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I'd like it!

[ Sounds a bit more excited than she should, but Xion's always up for making friends. And though she does have Lightning also teaching her, Xion takes the opportunity for more distraction and learning... and just generally keeping her thoughts at bay. ]

The main conflict will be our locations. I do not know where you are at. Could you tell me?

video;

[personal profile] ex_cashcow493 2011-09-07 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Right, I do not believe we are near each other. I would have to do lessons over video.. I wonder how well that would work out.

Where are you? [ A pause. ] I guess I could show you my progress over the feed until we personally meet someday.

[personal profile] ex_cashcow493 2011-09-11 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Goldenrod. I work at the breeding centre. Traveling is something I am not fit to do right now due to circumstances, so I would ask for your patience. In return, I could watch your progress and give you advice from afar.

Sure. [ A pause. ] Are you hurt?

[personal profile] ex_cashcow493 2011-09-12 05:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Hardly. I do not get hurt easily.

[ And if she does? Picks herself right back up and carries through with her original intent with little care to her well-being. ]

I was given a baby Pokemon to watch over.

That's good.

[ Sora and his heartspawn can relate to that, although that's more stubborn than anything. ]

Really? What kind of pokemon is it?

video;

[personal profile] ex_cashcow493 2011-09-13 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Mmm.

[ A nod before she continues. ]

A Minun whom I have named Gaenor. She is a tiny thing, often getting herself into more trouble than I thought possible.

Heh. Sort of like Kilgharrah, huh?

[personal profile] ex_cashcow493 2011-09-15 01:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Correct.

[ >Saber's face when. ]

Perhaps it is more my fault than any others if another starts to mimic their behavior.

[ Oh, Saber. When will you smile? ]

I wouldn't think so. All pokemon are different, even if they are the same species. They're like people, I guess.

[ Probably when Avalon cuddles with her. ]

Is it commonplace for people here to refer to them being identical to humans? You are not the first I have spoken with that has made such comparisons.

[ You need more huggingz, Saber. ]

Well... It's obvious they're not humans, yes, but the way they act, no matter how they act, isn't it similar?
