Nami glanced up, smiling softly in greeting at Nyl. "Nah...just tired." She said, sinking down onto a chair. " I think I'm picking up on Clow's bad habits."

"Sometimes you just have to be lazy. Be happy you have that choice." Nyl's grin faded a bit at the sound of a crash. "Only one person that could be."
~Seph? Trying to break the doors again? They have a knob, you know.~

Though her eyes weren't activated, she felt a subtle shift in the atmosphere. "Hn..." She hummed softly, glancing at the door.

~Heee, funny.~ His voice was rather sarcastic--very out of character for Seph. ~Didn't mean to make that much racket. I doubt he-.. she-.. IT will come this close to the dojo. Stopped trailing me a few miles back..~ He was rambling, but he quickly Byakougan'd his injury, then Ijutsu'd it. Why he'd gone to the medbay, he didn't know. Instinct, probably. He didn't leave, though.
~Er.. Before you ask it, I don't know. I did figure out that feeling I was getting, though. The one you said you had been feeling, too. It was a feeling of being watched.~

~I think you're babbling.~ Nyl's mental voice was noticeably patient in tone. ~Slow down and explain what you're talking about, please. And apparently you're not outside anymore, either.~
Nyl sipped her tea, shaking her head.

He took a deep breath, then turned and made his way back down the hall. ~Over tea. It's chilly outside, by the way. Even I'm beginning to notice it.~
He slipped into his room and quickly changed shirts, then made his way into the kitchen. He was calm in the face, but his mind was racing. "Hey, Nami!" He smiled and moved to the stove, pouring a mug. "How's Clow doing? Was that him I felt in the training room a few moments ago?"
~I was attacked. The groceries I left out in the forest. I assume it was a human, because it's chakra was in a humanoid shape. But it's strength and speed were incredible. That feeling we were feeling a few days ago--the one we couldn't put our finger on--was strongest around this thing. And all I could see was it's eyes. So I ran--fast--and.. well, it felt like an axe had fallen on my shoulder, and I guess one had.~

"Yeah, that's him. He's doing much better." She replied automatically. Despite his calm expression, his whole being was radiating agitation. She arched a delicate brow.

Nyl could see when he walked in that he'd used ijtusu. She motioned to the seat next to her, indicating he should sit in it.
~So if I am to draw the proper conclusions from this...we were and possibly are being watched by this thing. Now, before...and perhaps as far back as days before my...return. And you were attacked.~
Nyl sipped her tea and waved an irritated hand. "Clow is being his foolish self and training when he possibly shouldn't be."

"Foolish indeed." Nami muttered mutinously under her breath, sending a worried glare at the door.

He sat and nodded to both of them. He smiled some. "That's good news! I take it he still shouldn't be out and about like that, though." He grinned, too unfocused to catch Nami's arched brow or the sound of possible discontent in Nyl's voice at the word 'return.'
~Yes, and yes. Attacked, but I'm fine now. The problem is, it knows where we are. If it didn't before, it does now. I'm sure of it, I had to have led it straight here..~

~It may and it may not. And even if it does, it might not be able to cross onto dojo grounds. There have been other things recently that couldn't do that. And even if it can do that...well, we're ninjas.~
Nyl grinned slightly at that, as though it answered everything. "Ah, it's probably not that bad, Nami. When not driven to extremes by things like affection," she winked, "Clow has a pretty good grasp of his limitations."

"Yep." He grinned. "Affections tend to make us look uncharactoristically like fools." He resisted the urge to glance at Nyl.
~It won't attack without knowing our weaknesses.. Unless whatever it is, is an amateur. Or at least until it calls backup, I bet.~

Nyl, finished with her tea, got up and poured herself more.
~Mind if I ask you something?~

~Ask away.~ He hadn't touched his tea until just now, taking a sip. The first sip was always best.

"I suppose...but I've never known him to make use of the good grasp he has on his limitations." She crossed one leg over the other, resting her chin in her hand. Something was obviously going on. Seph didn't seem aware of her scrutiny.
