Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yua slammed her weapon into the rough soan bark. The blade carved right into the crude wood. Not even half way, the girl's zanpakuto stuck into the tree. Yua gripped at her weapon's hilt, a tsuba wrapped in azure like leather and silver string that go around it in a diamond cross fashion. The tree was extremely wide, 3 or 4 times bigger than the width of a man. Of course, it was just wood - Yua wanted to see how far she could cut through the foliage.
A human is made of flesh, muscle and bone, Yua thought. She inhaled and pulled her sword slowly in a zigzag motion, taking it out of the tree.

I still don't cut hard enough, the child landed softly on the ground next to the tree. Then she sat down by it's roots, her back facing the mahoghany bark. Her right hand held her zanpakuto and it was placed lightly to her side, the flat of her blade touching the ground. The raven haired girl once again looked at the sky. It was nice to be somewhere quiet sometimes. Yua's amber eyes usually never give away her thoughts - an empty void. But she turned her head slightly, blinking once.

A reiatsu of a person had gotten closer. The power wasn't overwhelming, but was like a wavelength that rang through Yua's ears. Curious, she walked to the edge of the hill. Yua sheathed her weapon, and tilted her head down to see who it was. First thing she noticed was the man had just cut the tree down below in half. Yua remained stolid, and only tilted her head slightly. The next thing was something on his arms had materialized into a sword to break the tree in half. The man sat down, and the noise got lower.
Yua then decided to sit down too. She turns her back and tilts towards the edge. Falling, she lands sitting on the side of the tree that was not occupied.

"...the fall is not far," Yua replied, still remaining sitting down. She was still reading the spiritual pressure around her, the girl always did this and she moved her head towards the direction of a blade protruding from the wood.
Hm, Yua assumed the weapon cut the tree in half, and also wondered why the person would let go of his hold on his weapon. It was plain curiousity, the girl never thought letting go of her own zanpakuto was a good idea - but she never dwelled on anything. The next thing she heard made her confused. She tilted her head so she could see behind her and sighed.
She hasn't been around alot of people, and usually when she was - they walked past her like everything was normal. A tail? Yua didn't give any reaction - in face or eyes. A tail...like..a dog? She still remained quiet, though that was the normal for her.
"...um,"

With measured strides, Aine entered the training area. Her eyes emerald eyes were turned downwards, taking in the sight of the sand shifting under her feet. As she approached, she felt and heard the movements around her. Avoiding the small skirmishes and other various forms of training being conducted, Aine reached the middle of field finally lifting her eyes from the ground. She gazed across the field, her heart falling as she found no other singular squad members, everyone was already paired off. Sighing she reached up with her right hand, grasping the Tsuka of her Satacchi, bringing it down in front of her in a clean arc.

With practiced ease, Aine's body relaxed into the first pose of a simple Kata. Muscles taught, she twisted herself through the exercise with excruciatingly slow movements. After completing the first few sets she increased her speed, improvising the movements.

Finally hearing the issued command, Aine's movements stopped immediately. "Hai!" she managed to squeak out while she whipped her Satacchi back into the sheath slung across her back. She trotted up to Ezru, eyes immediately fixating themselves on the ground in front of her. Hesitantly she added, "That incident happened four years ago, I didn't think that anyone would remember anything about it, Ezru Fukutaicho."

Following his commands to the letter, she tilted her head up to meet his eyes, watching as Ezru's eyes and teeth shifted. Startled she bristled for a moment before stuttering, "H-hai, your Ezru Fukutaicho, a recent addition to this squad. You use 'chi' instead of focusing reiatsu into any form of k-kidou. That is all that I could glean from records with my current status within the squad." She ended by dropping her eyes away from his before correcting herself and again meeting his gaze.

Relaxing a just a little, Aine let a small smile drift across her lips. "I only learned after joining the Academy, but the recording of my death was misplaced so I wasn't placed with family when I came to Soul Society." Letting her eyes wander from his face she continued her recount. "I was young and ignorant of the customs, so I drifted and eventually learned to care for myself through stealing what little that I needed. But I learned katas from watching the gang members fighting in my district, I even stole one of their Boken for my own use. All I did for many years was practice kendou with that stolen Boken. Eventually, I used it to fend off members of the families I stole from...Really if it weren't for my...unusual speed they would have killed me long ago." Finishing, she ran her left hand up the side of her face, brushing her wayward forelocks out of her eyes.
