Welcome to Gaia! ::

Senel " El " Rourke

"Honestly! People like to think that I am harmless..The very notion is laughable"

The sound of shuffling squeaking and sharp breaths could be heard coming from a Boxing Gym as a figure could be found shadow boxing alone, his persona dripping with sweat as the person would seem to have been working out and practicing for hours. Senel had woken up fairly late this morning because he was working late within the auto shop in the malls plaza or across from it anyways, so he decided not to go to school today and instead had done a few chores around the gym before his grandfather would come in so there would be no delay in it coming today and his grandfather wouldn't have to left a finger, of course this was mostly because he didn't want to hear the old man lecture him about going to school, then there was the hours he himself have been training with others and then ultimately training on his own which he went back and forth between seeing as he didn't have work today. Around the time school was suppose to be letting out, Senel had ceased training, taken a shower, and dressed himself as he prepared to go out, his hands were wrapped in fighting tape as he usually had them of course with his conductor exposed in the form of a ring. Grabbing his phone Senel would then text Ryan and then Yosuke asking them where they were and what were the plans for the day before he would grab his bike and ride off til he heard from one or both of them.

"In the end what you and I think and feel doesn't matter.. until what is determined after our spirits meet on the battlefield.."

(Sorry for the short post, not sure of whats exactly going on at the moment, so a little help as to where the humans/elementals are will help.)

Kira watched Yosuke from the far doorway of the kitchen. Tucking a lock of hair behind her left ear... he was so responsible. It was nice to be mothered... but she worried that maybe he pushed himself too far sometimes. Kira would never say it out loud but she tried to always be close by... well tried sometimes at least. Kira liked being alone. No one could hurt you when your alone. No mean words, no pain. She started to say something- wanting to talk to him. But she lost heart, shaking her head. He needed to focus on his cooking. She would have been a distraction if she stayed. Father didn't like distractions... Yosuke wouldn't have either.

Kira left the kitchen. Slowly making her way back outside, picking up her violin on the way. She loved it in the garden. Yosuke's back yard was massive and beautiful with flowers that could take your breath away. The strawberry blond walked slowly to the flowers, stepping easily amongst them and settled on a small stone. She began to play, she had to practice- she wanted to make the flowers happy. But her heart hurt so much. Her lips tightened, eyes closed and breath steadied. The deep mournful tones of her violin began to fill the garden.

Quickly putting on his apron, Yosuke quickly retrieved all the ingredients for his famous stir-fry. He would be making servings for eleven starving people. In case; Kevin came back, Senel showed up (probably ravenous from training), Ryan's infamous immensely voracious appetite, and knowing his sisters would probably be wandering home soon.

As Yosuke was cutting up a load of Tofu into perfect 3/4in. cubes, his phone went off. He checked his messages really quickly as he greased his special stainless steel wok with some canola oil. 'Oh, was wondering where Senel went off too. Probably ditched to work out again. I swear, like, almost none of my friends even care about school anymore' He sighed as he put the skillet over the stove. Briefly pausing to toss the tofu in, he then texted Senel back; "sup? were all at my place. idk what were gonna do. come over. gates locked, and dont wanna go an open it. just do your windy thing and jump teh wall or somethin." Placing his phone back in his pocket, he returned to simmering the tofu, and adding in some beef and broccoli.

He looked through the window and saw Kira playing her violin wonderfully. It was quite a sight, she practically blended right into the garden. He sighed dreamily. So talented, so beautiful, so shy...and yet so troubled. How could he reach through to this girl? How could he put a permanent smile on that face? He was troubled, but the haunting refrain put a peaceful look back upon Yosuke's face. Such a sad, but beautiful melody, he thought while adding in his blend of spices and sauces to get the perfect flavor.

Yosuke poured an adequate amount of sherry into his stir fry and a magnificent savory scent filled the Hanam household. Turning the heat down slightly on his stove to let his concoction simmer, he checked his phone again and chuckled. 'Oh, nice.' He could only imagine what had happened, but it had probably been very awesome, knowing his friend. Although he constantly worried about Senel breaking his damn neck because of his 'extreme' habits, Yosuke had to admit that the dude did have some skill. He quickly responded. "sux. ull get over it. hury up, im cookin. food almst redy." In his normal sloppy way of texting most people. If any of his other friends had said that, he would've been worried sick, and apologize a ton. However, Senel was likely just being over dramatic and a smart a**. Which was fine.

A few minutes remained for the food to be finished. So Yosuke just leaned against to door-frame to watch Kira play. He...wanted to go and ask her about quite a few things, but he didn't dare to interrupt her rehearsal. Whenever she had the time, he supposed. To compliment her music, her heard the twins arguing in the living room over a game or something. Ugh.

((OOC: Ugh, I know that feel. : Sorry to hear so, but good luck!))

Yosuke mouth opened slightly in surprise. 'Oh my...god..' He could not fully comprehend just what sort of miracle of nature he was witnessing. His sister's garden just seemed to flow along with Kira and her melodies. He had seen her play many times, but never like this. Although honestly more of a fan of today's music, he could not help but be deeply moved by the pure elegant sensations that hit him. It was, for lack of a better word, amazing by every definition. He slowly began walking into the garden without even thinking about it, possibly to get a better view, or maybe just to hear the notes more clearly. He had no idea, really. It seemed Yosuke was transfixed by what he was viewing.

((OOC: I think Ash has waited long enough, don't you Yosuke?))
