"Shhh---" His fingers grasped his blade as Kaori came closer, but he was familiar with what was coming next. He swiped his blade down in the exact opposite direction that hers was coming from and sparks flew as blades rang loudly into the surrounding arena. She recovered and tried again only to be met by brute force and another clash of their swords. But now it was his turn as she recovered he quickly took a horizontal swipe at her across her chest to counter her attack, still putting brute force into the swing. She didn't look it, but she could easily handle him and even then, his brow was growing damp, a bead of sweat trickling down the side of his face in the grey but muggy afternoon.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  Character Name: Raven

"Oh?" Raven was actually working now, putting in some effort but not only that, it seemed like he was actually going to make her work a little bit herself. "Now this is more like it!" she smirked as he blocked her attacks and came back at her with a counter attack.
While one hand remained on her hilt the other supported the top part of her blade as she vertically met his horizontal swipe their blades ringing and sparking once again.
"That's it, keep going like that." she encouraged. "Come at me again, attack." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  Character Name: Kaori Yukiko

With his horizontal strike blocked, and encouraged to keep striking he smirked and did what he was told. Recovering he sent four slashes her way, looking for an opening, everytime she blocked he would quickly recover and strike again. The first two strikes were even in power and not as heavy as the following strikes, increasing the power slowly, working on beating her backwards if he could. But rarely had he known her to give ground to an enemy much less in a training session. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Character Name: Raven

Kaori met each of Raven's attacks, and she found herself pleased to find that he was putting some real effort into this round with her, simply because she was putting in effort in just blocking his attacks.
"That's good! Keep looking for openings, keep pressing." she encouraged on their final block that had their swords shuddering with both of their exerted force. This time she released the pressure between them and tested Raven's ability to counter several of her light, testing glances. Here and there she might just nick him if he wasn't quick enough. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Character Name: Kaori Yukiko

((I hope you don't mind if I bring Ilia-B in here to test the battle body out as well as the dice system?))
"Bravo!" A laugh came from the side of the arena, accompanied by some enthusiastic clapping. A quick glance would reveal the mirthful grin of the Shinigami Master himself, perched on the very edge of the high arena wall and watching proceedings. He loved watching his beloved in motion, it was a very primal thing to view and he felt proud of her skills. And as much as he enjoyed seeing Raven bleed, Guyy was silently pleased to see him taking well to his training and learning quickly and skilfully. Not that he'd admit that to Raven.
"I hope you do not mind the interruption? But someone rather insisted on getting to try out a new toy." He grinned, waving a hand to one of the arena entrances. Stepping out onto the stadium ground was something quite unlike what most people were used to. Standing at a good six and a half feet tall was some form of robot. Clad in the deep clan purple and a metallic grey the creature looked quite impressive and imposing. Especially when the massive claws on the end of each of the four limbs were noted. The machine hunched a little, taking an appearance not unlike a robotic version of the Chimera, and yet somehow more refined and specialised. The face was inhuman, having something like a mask where a mouth should be on the angular features. The only sign of intelligence were in the softly glowing eyes. With no lips to move it spoke, voice light and yet with the metallic hint that betrayed the owner of such a body.
"Hello mama, uncle Raven. Can I play?"

((Not at all! I'm so happy someone jumped in!! Thank-you!!! biggrin The more the merrier!
Doing a combined post here for ease, but will split them up again when battling. Hope that's ok, the rp just flows a little easier this way. ))Turquoise orbs stayed steady on feline blues as he was taught so long ago, each of her movements countered with mostly his peripheral vision, her sword blurred and seemingly became many with how fast she was moving. Raven smirked as he countered her time and again, his body remembering how she fights with ease, but this wasn't going anywhere, he could stay in the line of fire like this forever and the only one that would get worn out would be him. With her inhuman endurance this was merely play. At just the right moment he leaned back her sword slipping just to the right of his cheek and then he began to fall, with force. He caught the ground and back flipped away quickly putting several paces between the pair of them and when he finished in a crouch with his sword braced ready for a top down impact.... she wasn't there where he expected her to be. She should have chased, where?
Was that... Clapping?
The tigress was standing with her sword held limply at her side, while she faced him her eyes... they were shifted to the stands, where that echoing noise came from. If she had stopped... something was up. "Bravo! ... I hope you don't mind the interruption? But someone rather insisted on getting to try out a new toy."Raven swore under his breath. If there was anything more annoying than interruptions, it was that guy. Raven would just love to face off against him again and his glare at the ebony haired man probably spoke volumes to that effect. "Hello mama, uncle Raven. Can I play?"Kaori took a glance at Raven, he was too busy glaring down Guyy to bother acknowledging Ilia-B. She silently laughed to herself, no doubt he felt the same way she did but interruptions weren't uncommon.
"Hello Ilia dear. I would love to play with you, but.." she smirked, "on one condition.. that you can convince your father to join us too." Kaori looked over to where her other half of her weapon still protruded from the wall, raised a hand and simply said, "Yaone, return." With that it shuddered and came free of the wall floating a moment before flying through the air, returning to its mistress' hand. Lifting the two pieces hilt to hilt she spoke another word. "Combine." and her naginata, in a swirl of light blue light, was restored to its original form.
"Raven."
His head reluctantly turned in her direction, standing already he began making his way over to her. "Let's get a fresh start shall we?" Although that slice on his cheek was rather fetching on him, when he was near enough she began healing his wounds that she inflicted. Her light blue light as it passed over his skin from wrist to shoulder closing his flesh and stopping the bleeding, same thing on the other side. Giving Ilia more than enough time to 'convince' Guyy to come down himself. That little mark on the blond's cheek also mended and she left Raven restored and renewed to battle again."Thanks Ka-chan..." he smiled ever so softly at her and winked."If I knew you'd be calling me that just now I would have let you suffer with the inflictions I gave you." she narrowed her glare at his hidden smile. Ugh! he was so!!! infuriating sometimes. He already knew he pressed her buttons again too. "One of these days Raven..." she threatened. He chuckled. "Love you too." he diverted still playing. Looking to Ilia-B past her shoulder, he already knew that Kaori was going to test out Ilia herself and the tigress had even spurred the chance at another round with the Shinigami 'leader' for him. He so wanted to pay him back for the near drowning and consequently Aya's punishment swimming lessons from the last time they had sparred.
And Raven really wanted to piss off Guyy right at the moment to make the leader want to fight with everything he had so that Raven could really pound the crap outta him... 'but what would be the best way to do it?' he wondered. While thinking on that he lifted his arm around Kaori's shoulders in a half hug, leaving a soft kiss on her cheek before whispering in her ear, "Thank-you... for taking care of my wounds." Of course Guyy wouldn't have a chance in hell of hearing him from way up there, but he definitely looked like he was flirting. What with the way he was carrying his weapon. Resting the blade of his sword on his shoulder looking so cool and cocky as hell a smug smirk on the corner of his lips. And all she did, with her gaze partly lowered and somewhere halfway towards Raven, was smile while the tip of her tail flipped, happy for the appreciation despite being miffed at the nickname. It was so irritating how she just couldn't stay mad at him. "Ugh... Raven. Tsk." and then she sighed, a sign that she was going to give up on this nickname thing. "I'll have your head served on a silver platter if everyone starts calling me that." she warned without any intention of having that followed through with. He laughed. "You're cute when you're angry like that." he toyed with her, grinning, without any regard to her threat.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Character Name: Kaori Yukiko

((Not a problem with me. I may in fact dust off the old Ilia account for this fight if I remember.
Do you think the health/energy ratios I have chosen are right for these characters? I might actually bring Guyy down a level for the battle, say he's been out in the cold or something to make it a fairer fight with Raven.))
Guyy watched the exchange between Kaori and Ilia-B with a certain amount of amusement. He knew fine well Raven was glaring at him and he was doing a fine job of ignoring him. Hopefully the lack of acknowledgement was a suitable annoyance for the blond. His glare was certainly enough that Guyy could almost imagine it boring right through him like a drill. He didn't miss Kaori's words to their robotic daughter though. He theatrically rolled his scarlet eyes, though he grinned cheerfully.
"Convince daddy...?" Ilia squeaked. The angular head of the mecha turned and the softly glowing eyes settled on Guyy steadily, unwavering. Though this face held no sign of emotion, her voice was always more than enough to make her feelings quite clear. "Won't you play too, daddy? Please?" She pleaded softly, in a pitch that was painfully hard for any parent to ignore. And he certainly couldn't.
"I suppose that I must, or I doubt I would ever be forgiven by the pair of you." Guyy chuckled as he stood up on the high wall and gazed down at his family. And Raven, who was still glaring despite being cleaned up by Kaori with her trademark tenderness. In return for such care, Raven responded with his usual cocky flirting. Guyy grimaced inwardly, doing his best not to show the flare of irritation on his face. Shame he hadn't brought down his sword. He would dearly like to use it right now. There were parts of Raven's anatomy he would happily remove.
Jack would sulk for months if he did though, no doubt. And nothing was worth being the subject of one of Jack's long-term sulks.
"Well then, a battle it is. I am always up for a little fisticuffs." He decided, waving a hand and nodding consent. With a little hop he allowed gravity to take him from the top of the wall to the arena floor, landing gracefully on his toes in a relaxed crouch. He was almost silent, as he had been trained to be. He stood and dusted off his hands. "Though I see you have a slight advantage over me at the moment. One moment." he held up a finger and slipped into the combatant's preparation area.
Ilia-B meanwhile approached Kaori and Raven on steady feet. She certainly didn't move like the little girl she was in this body. The frame swayed a little as she walked, in an almost animalistic, feral manner. There was clearly a lot of power in that body, and judging by the carefully crafted limbs, she all but matched that power with her dexterity and speed. But were all of her skills as honed? That was the real test. The fastest car was no use in the hands of a poor driver and Guyy was determined she should learn to use this power she was gifted with, should she ever need to face real combat for any reason.
"It is very strange being taller than you, Mama!" the not-so-little bot giggled. She reached out a hand and splayed the terrible claws as if measuring both Kaori and Raven up in turn.
"Oh, I like this." Guyy's voice echoed through the air as he stepped out of the room. He appeared to be carrying nothing more exciting than a serrated bowie knife. The whole thing, from tip to handle, was barely 15 inches long. Hardly an impressive weapon compared to a sword. But it was well known that Guyy was a knife fighter and quite deadly if he got close enough to effectively use such a weapon. Closer inspection would reveal his fingers laced through the spiked rings on the handles. It was like a knife combined with knuckle dusters.
"Now. Where's the nearest pool?" He smirked at Raven cheekily.

A single claw pressed into Raven's ribs, lightly at first and the pressure grew heavier until he flinched and eventually moved away from the tigress enough to let his arm fall from around her shoulders to be angled so that he could place his hand on his hip instead while Guyy was busy in the armory for the moment.
In the meantime Kaori got to size up Ilia-B up close, "It is a little strange isn't it?" she smiled up at the bot, "Now Ilia dear, I want you to do your very best against me. Your mama needs a good work out. Ah.. but we'll have a code phrase.. how about... 'Match... end.' When either you or I say this, the match ends only at that point no matter what. ok? Until then, we'll consider each other bitter enemies during the fight. We'll both get more out of it that way. How about it?" she questioned the little bot already preparing for the battle between the two, already knowing that the target areas on the bot would be where its joints were, the most important parts of it were heavily armored and would take a miracle to slice through. It was going to be messy and Kaori had every intention on trying to scrap this robotic body as a true test to its strength in a real battle. "We're going to see how well you stand up in a real fight. I hope you can encourage me into my tougher form." she paused a moment to let that sink in and looked up when Guyy approached with his chosen weapon from the store room.
There was just something about him in that moment that had the tigress smiling in admiration, perhaps because the man seemed so deadly when just being casual. Kaori liked deadly. But Guyy had a lot of restraint when it came down to it. Her tail end slowly swayed as he asked for the nearest pool and she laughed.
"Alright so.. my most dearly adored men... try not to actually kill each other, just come close to it. I'll be angry if I have to send either one of you to a final destination." she warned but was smiling knowingly at the pair. "And let's try to stick to half the arena for our matches but if we end up overlapping, no big deal, just try to keep out of each others way. No pairs tag-team fighting, one on one fights... anything else?" she questioned for any other terms of battle to be put in by the others before they'd end up taking positions.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Character Name: Kaori Yukiko

((I hope Aya's level is good to go?))
"Well isn't this quite a gathering," Aya said as she stepped out of the shadows and finally revealed herself. She waited to speak until after Kaori's 'anything else?'. The sides of her lips curled up in to a small smirk as she took a couple of steps forward. She'd originally entered the sparring area with the intention of delivering lunch to Raven and Kaori as evidenced by the picnic basket she gripped on her right hand. One wouldn't think of it truly, what with the way she was dressed. She seemed ready to do battle rather than someone who was simply going to deliver food.
She'd been watching them quietly in the shadows. The Ice Queen didn't want to disturb the training session but the sudden turn of events had captured her interests.
"Seems like a fun game you're all playing here. Mind if I join in?" she asked as she leaned against the wall and inclined her head to the four combatants. If she were to join in, there would be five people fighting all in all. She felt her lips twitch again as her amethyst colored eyes sparkled with amusement. Three seniors all in one place and one match. And in between them all were Raven and Ilia-B. This was going to be a combination of different strengths and tactics. It was going to be a lovely and bloody massacre. Aya could hardly wait.
"Hmm..." she murmured as her eyes traveled from one person (and robot) to another. She tapped her chin, "But if I join, it will not be one on one." She took her time, pretending to be pondering this small problem at hand before she smiled that small and feral smile of hers. "Perhaps we could...all be opponents and spar until only one of us remains standing?"
She shrugged in good nature. It was only a suggestion but she dearly hoped that Kaori (since she was the leader of this sparring session) would agree to it. It would be too bad if she didn't. She would have to wait with their lunch beside her and watch an interesting show without being able to participate in it.

((Looks good to me! Welcome to the party!! ))
Raven ignored Guyy while he listened to the exchange between Ilia-B and Kaori. His brow lifting in interest, her stronger form? But that meant... well it would be ok seeing that she wasn't carrying at this point and it looked like she was doing this more for herself, because of being so lazy the past several months, or so she would have said.
Still, he hadn't seen her use her stronger form very often if at all and wondered just what she had hidden up her sleeves.
Guyy returned with his choice of weapon and the blond knew just what he was in for. Seeing as Kaori gave him permission to go all out, that was exactly what he was gonna do. But he realized something else, if they came too close to killing each other, Kaori, going all out like she was about to do, might not be able to take care of their wounds after this fight. He stuck the sword of his in the ground to stand and took up the P.A.D that was clipped to his belt in his hands firing off a short message to Jack while they were going over terms of the fight. 'Going all out. I and G are here.' He had already mentioned what his plans were today earlier.. after that, he snapped it back on his belt as though it was no big deal and took up his sword again.
"I've nothing to ah--." he was cut off when Aya asked to join in the game. Well now this really changes things. And his message now needed updating to Jack... but there wasn't time for that now. The cool air Aya brought with her was pleasant after having warmed up against Kaori, however Raven looked to the tigress wondering just what she'd do now, and yet knowing at the same time.. his one on one with Guyy was about to get canceled. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Character Name: Raven

"Glad you could join us Aya, this definitely changes things." she took note of Raven's glance and nodded, this was going to be chaotic and inwardly her smile widened. Of course, not having missed the picknic basket in Aya's hand. "You wouldn't have brought one of your restorative elixirs with you have you? or perhaps lunch?" Kaori questioned lightheartedly, "We could decide terms while we eat." she added in smiling cheerfully.

((I have not roleplayed any type of even semi-serious fight in a significant amount of time, and am interested in trying this battling system. I hope it's alright if I join in? Please let me know if the level I chose is improper or if I've otherwise made mistakes.))
The afternoon wind felt comfortable, somehow. She wondered briefly if it was blissfully unaware of what slowed its wake as she headed into the sparring area. Kaida's gray gaze scanned the five clan members gathered in the arena solemnly and silently. When she had heard about the spar, Kaida had been hesitant, but now that she stood at the entrance of the sparring area, she was glad she had decided to show up.
How long has it been since your blade has spilt blood, dear Kai? The question caught off her guard, but the motion that followed would be barely noticeable unless somebody was looking for it. Kaida's lips moved soundlessly, very slightly, in answer. Wanting both to rid herself of such thoughts and also to seek his approval in her participation of the spar about to proceed, she immediately focused her attention on Guyy.
"May I join? I fear I may have gotten a bit... rusty with my sword," she said loud enough for all five clan members to hear with a bit of a sheepish smile. That's when she noticed that she had not taken off her jacket. Kaida slightly frowned as she took the jacket off, looking under-dressed for battle with only a bladed wristguard and otherwise loose-fitting neutral-colored civilian clothes. She would need her maximum range of movement for her sword techniques, and thus did not lend trust to any leather, let along metal, armor. Stepping unnecessarily lightly, Kaida found a nice empty section in the stands and then set her jacket down with great care. Climbing back down to the sparring area, she then looked around expectantly for an answer to her query about joining the spar. At least she would make the numbers even; she felt optimistic about the entire experience.

"Match end. Ok Mama! I promise I will do my very best!" Ilia-B said cheerfully, nodding her featureless head. No other child would agree to attempt to attack her own mother with such readiness, but she knew well enough that holding back to prevent injury would just make Kaori disappointed in her. She had to show her how good she was in this body! Besides, her mama was very good at fixing herself when she was hurt, and daddy could fix Ilia if she got damaged too. "I hope I can see your stronger form!" She giggled, almost bouncing on taloned feet. She was certainly in a very good mood.
Guyy caught Kaori's smile as she glanced his way. He gave her a little affectionate grin as he tested the weight of the knife in the air with a light, curious noise. It was excellently made. Some little treasures had found their way into the weapon stores of the arena it seemed. He silently thanked whoever had discovered this one and made it available.
"Ah, my dearest. You do spoil my fun sometimes you know." he teased as the tigress's laugh rang through the stadium, warming his heart as keenly as any fire would. He stood to attention firmly and raised his hand much as a boy scout would.
"I solemnly swear that if Raven loses his life in this battle, it's his own fault. Not mine. I'll stop while he's still breathing." he promised, scarlet eyes dancing with mirth. His eye followed the movement of Raven as he rested his own weapon for a moment, using the P.A.D. he carried. He could make a good guess as to who he was contacting.
He'd be right. Jack was just stepping out of the shower when he heard the device buzz. He towelled himself down with one hand as he read the message. It caused him to swear under his breath. Raven fighting with Guyy? This could be trouble. Though Jack knew Guyy would stop short of seriously or fatally harming the DJ, accidents did happen. He cheated, using a burst of heat to dry himself off, and dressed. Grabbing the device, he ran down to the arena.
As he stepped aside to make a fair bit of room between the sparring pairs a shiver went down his spine. He didn't need to turn his head to know who was stepping out of the shadows. He had sensed her lurking nearby for a while, but apparently Aya had become intrigued by the fighting too.
"I have no complaints about such an arrangement." He smiled, polishing his new blade against the hip of his jeans. "I hope that's lunch you've brought." He raised an eyebrow and glanced at the Ice Queen hopefully.
Ilia was the first to catch on to the idea of lunch, bounding over to Aya on all fours and delicately attempting to sniff at the basket. She hoped it was something tasty! Her aunt was a very good cook and she loved to try all the flavours.
"And would you look at that. Suddenly our numbers are equal once more." Guyy nodded his head in the direction of Kaida as she stepped forward and asked to join. "Perhaps one on one is still a viable battle tactic. I am not going to say no to the idea of a little meal before we begin. And neither will he." Guyy smirked and turned to look towards a patch of heat in the stands where a decidedly flustered looking Jack was standing and watching. No doubt he was relieved the battle had not begun yet. He could provide vital healing if things got too far.
"Oi Jack, your shirt's on backwards."

"Hm.... " so Guyy had sensed it too, someone caught Kaori's attention at the entrance of the arena, off to her right and behind her. Even if she didn't turn her head in that direction, her feline like blue-gray eyes shifted that way for a moment. The unfamiliar figure standing there gazing upon them wasn't much of any threat, if she had been, the tigress would have pounced before the girl had the chance to descend to the arena floor. The wind, unfortunately, was carrying the womans scent away from her over sensitive nose, rather than feeding the tigress information.
When her eyes found Raven's once again he simply and very slightly nodded as though they could communicate without having to share words. Which they couldn't.. for one Kaori always got the worst headaches whenever telepathy was involved. Annoying that was more than anything else. More importantly Raven's one on one with Guyy was getting to be further and further from reality putting him in a little more aloof mood than anything else and on top of that Kaori's glance was one of those, 'you'll be taking care of her' sort of looks.
The tall blond stepped aside as the new arrival came to the group, making room for her to stand with them. The tigress, was interested. This lady was bold for a new recruit, if indeed that was what she was, she carried a strong presence, good qualities if directed appropriately. Ah there it was... her nerves got the better of her as indicated by that smile before she moved off to discard her jacket and collect herself in the process. There was something in the way she moved, a little too careful, probably because of the eyes upon her and for a lady her age the sort of grace she had was a natural born talent, not something tediously learned. Upon rejoining the seniors, robot and the half dressed muscle head with an expectant look on her features... Kaori was reminded of herself. The girl had potential though, that was clear, tons of it. Untapped and wild even, she could end up being potentially dangerous if not to herself, the clan themselves.
While Ilia went to check out the basket, Jack had made himself known in the stands, while she didn't look up to him right away, Guyy's comment was more than enough to realize how Jack had received Raven's message. Normally she probably would have giggled, but because of new company her more relaxed self was hidden deeply. "Not just even numbers, but a healer to collect our sorry hides when we've spent our energy." she noted without taking her gaze from the newest interest and finally responding to her comment.
"Let the sword rust a little longer. It's waited so long that another few minutes won't hurt it any. Besides, what you really need is something... different." Now the tigress was looking straight into her gray eyes, albeit with her fingers embracing her own chin thoughtfully, that narrowed stare of Kaori's was enough for one to feel as though the tigress was peering into the very core and soul of those she regarded. "What's your name?" she questioned a little slowly, curiosity dripping in the tone of her voice. The look on her features was rather blank, perhaps even bored... see what she's thinking about is the fact that this wouldn't be the first person she had ever helped unlock gifts from. But the real question was, would Kaori actually help the stranger? Could the new girl earn the trust she needed to in order to get the help she had come here for and to grow stronger?
While Guyy might be one to easily trust those that he crossed paths with and accept most people nearly instantly, Kaori was more his opposite and would sooner take caution. Sometimes the price of helping others turns out to be a curse. The tigress would sooner turn the girl away without helping her, than learning later that by helping her attain her gifts, ended up releasing an even more potent enemy upon the clan. Luckily, in some cases, not so much time had to go by in order for such a hurdle to be overcome... but more on that later. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Character Name: Kaori Yukiko

((Hello Raven! Glad to see you're here!
I'm getting really excited. xd ))
Aya was about to respond to Kaori's question when her eyes focused on the person somewhere behind the Lady Shinigami. The former priestess shifted her weight to one side as she balanced the picnic basket. It was the only outward show of her disappointment...which wasn't really that much of a show in and of itself. Aya was a master at disguising any of her telltale signs of emotions since battles required that of her. Inside, she was sighing at the loss of a group battle. Now that they were even, they would no doubt have a one on one...unless she could persuade Kaori that a group beating would be very nice for a practice match. Aya's eyes slipped to Kaori before she inwardly shrugged. Oh well. Come what may. She would still have a lot of fun with the spar regardless of who she was partnered with.
When Ilia approached her, Aya's lips twitched upwards in barely concealed amusement. She opened her mouth to tell Ilia to slow down but then she was reminded of her daughter. Parvati would always bound to her whenever she held something, insisting her mother to tell her all about the artifact even if what Aya was holding a simple recipe book. She offered the android a little smile and a gentle pat on her metallic arm before she moved to the side where there were chairs available, giving Kaori enough time to interrogate Kaida.
"I didn't think to bring any elixirs with me unfortunately. I did not foresee this gathering I am afraid," Aya finally answered as the question and answer round had passed. She placed the picnic basket on one of the chairs and turned her attention to the entire audience that had gathered for the fight. Her face was impassive but she was feeling slightly blue already now that she had been reminded of her daughter and of what she had recently lost.
"I did prepare some barbecues, salad, fruits, and canned drinks," she continued as she opened the basket and began taking out the said items. She placed them all on three available chairs, making an impromptu buffet. She waved her hand, drawing more attention to the offering she had provided.
"Help yourselves. The utensils are in the picnic basket," she said and smiled at Jack in the stands, motioning for him to take a sample of her cooking as well, "Come down from there Jack. There is more than enough food for everyone."
How Aya always managed to cook excess food was a little habit of hers that had been developed after several times of making 'just enough' food for everyone only to have a visitor and/or clan member show up. The last person to attend would always be left with scraps. If it was one thing that Aya disliked, it was being an improper hostess. Ever since then, she had began to make extra servings just in case there were more than the usual mouths to feed...like now.
Good thing she had decided on barbecue on a stick. She didn't think she'd brought enough plastic plates and utensils for everyone to use.
