The trip down to his greenhouse had been one that while not his reason for coming down here, he’d traveled down here for training, was still a need for him. He was nearly ready to unleash his plants onto the city. They were doing well, and he had enough to spread them about, he just needed to recruit people to work for him and the shell company they’d be creating for this project of his.
Once he’d finished checking his plants, and setting the misters on a short timer, he’d headed off for the training rooms where he had one booked for his use. At some point he would get to talking to Chalcanthite about that second weapon he’d had, he would need to somehow apologize for the last time they’d crossed paths though, because he was interested in a second weapon. It would be unexpected by those knights and senshi who knew him, too many were used to him and his weapon, and it would give him the chance to get used to mastering something else.
It was a win for him all ways around as far as he figured it. That however was not something for him to deal with today, though he might ask Rene later about gift ideas for an apology, now he was going to focus on the matter at hand. Pushing open the doors to the training room he stepped inside while stretching and looking around, turning as he walked. “This place has always served well. A good place to blow off some steam.” Maybe, at some point, he should bring his cousin into the rift…but when? That was a place he didn’t think Lorcan had seen just yet…but it was he felt overdue. He just hoped he could handle the odd, and youma infested, place as well as the walk down there.

Standing in one of the training rooms, he’d been waiting on his cousin. They were late, if only by a few minutes, and it irked him. He’d had a few tussles with senshi now and today was supposed to be a bit of sparring to figure out some things hand-to-hand as it were. “For you maybe, for me it’s just somewhere to practice where it’s quiet. Unless you count any time that Aoede is part of things.” It was still a bit obnoxious how loud that magic of hers was but he did like the idea that it could affect more than one person.
“No weapons today, since I really don’t have one myself. I need to brush up a bit more because as lucky as I was to have a corrupt senshi…helping me the past two times…” The words still felt wrong coming out of his mouth and he paused for a moment as the disgust set in on his face and tried to shake that feeling away before coming back to his normal and neutral expression if not with a little bit of annoyance mixed in.
“As I was saying I need to be a bit better prepared on the off chance I don’t have an ally in the immediate area. I know you’ve been keeping watch on Kafka lately given his magic being broken so I have found… some other potential allies in the meantime.” He would have asked Chalcanthite if he wasn’t half worried the man would catch his death from a cold or some other lung bug. They were still going through antibiotics and steroids here and there fighting off whatever they had caught in the end of February.

“Trust me, there will be nights after battles that you’ll need to blow off some steam.” Because they’d retreated, or not pushed as hard as he’d wished they had, there would be a time where this room or one like it would be used for that. He did understand his cousins wish for no weapon, since the other lacked one for now, soon he knew his cousin would wind up with a weapon of his own. He did wonder what it would be as they tended to fit their owner, they were much like uniforms in that way, it wouldn’t be something fancy and flashy he knew that much. It would be right to the point and simple, lacking design or ornamentation.
“I’m glad you’ve branched out and found others to assist you, though you can always call me for help, whether I’m out with Kafka or not I can teleport us both in to assist.” Kafka he doubted would mind, he had a feeling the other would enjoy teleporting on his own, and it would be good to support his cousin as well. But knowing he’d gotten help from two corrupt senshi…well that was certainly interesting and Stitchite didn’t seem overly pleased with the idea.
“But it sounds like a plan. If you want I can just dodge and avoid while you work on attacking me? Or how would you prefer this?” He was willing to go about this in whatever way was best for his cousin, not knowing what the other would prefer as a way of learning and brushing up on things. He’d done some of this in his time, he’d had to, but back then things seemed to be busier with more going on, more big battles, and more little ones even and with tougher senshi and knights. Things weren’t as dangerous it seemed. He’d done a lot of his learning then - on the fly. He’d had to learn as he went.

"I think our versions of blowing off steam vary quite a bit but I will take the advice." He'd much rather pour over work or play a game of chess against someone instead of going out and finding a fight like his cousin did. Adjusting his stance and squaring himself up, he couldn't help but have. a look of distaste on his face at the mention of branching out as well as having Kafka assist him.
"I think you should keep an eye on Kafka for now more than me. He's not really as capable given his... situation. If there is a big enough issue I will let you know but more often than not there have been hiccups or annoyances, nothing really substantial I needed you to come running over for." Not that he didn't mind the help, he just knew that Kafka needed it more for the moment and he was trying to gauge how well things were going still for his cousin and that broken senshi of his.
"That should suffice, I've been relying mostly on some boxer-style moves that I noticed from our other cousin. With the addition of my keys, it's proven quite effective at giving senshi concussions." Stepping forward he took a swing at them, aiming for their side.

"Perhaps, but this is the least destructive manner for me." Well, aside from other activities which he didn't think his cousin would like to know about. He did go senshi, or knight, hunting as well but that could be destructive as well...though not all the time. "I know, he isn't much for fighting and his situation as a citizen is...as percarious as can be for someone new to the country." Thoguh he had helped with some things, and would help more if he could, he'd see to them remaining here with him.
"Our other cousin, which one?" He questioned with a raised brow. They had a lot of cousins, and several he was sure knew how to fight, so which one he could guess but would it be the right one? He'd guess Hudson though, since they were also an officer. "The keys I can s ee being useful, about as useful as the paintbrush I started with." Which he'd tried to stab many a knight and senshi with in those first nights. It was the only use he could figure for a paintbrush.
Taking the hit from his cousin, gritting his teeth, he wondered just how strong his cousin would be as a Captain. The hit he'd more than felt, his cousin was certainly not lacking in strength, and he'd be bruised for sure but he'd accept that. it was better than he'd had plenty of times before. Stepping to the side he let his own posistion change so he could brace h imself and keep his balance incase he needed to. "Come on cousin."

"I will give you that, this is far better than you galavanting around and getting yourself injured. You might be a General but you really jump into things too quickly." A month really didn't mean anything when it came to them being older because they still took a lot of risks.
"Hux, of course. Boxing with a metal ring around my fist seems to be as effective as anything else as it stands. Even if I really dislike having my hands at risk during things." It meant he couldn't work if he was injured so he had to be careful.
Pleased with the hit connecting solidly, he adjusted and swung out with his other hand, looking to hit their other side if he could.

Sometimes he honestly felt like the younger of the two, quite a bit younger sometimes, but it was simply how different the cousins were. That wasn't to say he acted like a child but he wasn't as serious as his cousin was, not unless he needed to be, where as Lorcan always seemed to be rather serious. He knew his cousin disliked that he jumped into things but what else was expected? He'd been involved in so many things and survived it all, more or less anyway, that it really didn't bother him.
When he'd moved, posistioned himself, it had been right into where his cousin was striking now. When the hit came he grunted and took a step back before correcting himself, stepping forward. "You hit hard - that's good. Hudson should help you more, he has a small hand weapon like you do." Those gloves of Hudson's did some good damage, he was certain of it, and it was similar enough to the keys Stitchite used over his knucked like brass knuckles.
"You'll loosen teeth if you hit a senshi in the face." Might keep them from casting magic, couldn't speak when you were busy spitting out teeth and bleeding. Smiling at his cousin he was pleased with how training as going and motioned the other to continue, this would be a good night. He'd wind up curling up in bed, after a hot shower, with his muscles feeling well worked and drained of energy so he could sleep easily. He should really ask Rene over so he could drag the other into bed and use him for the bnody heat he provided, as well as his pressence.
