Sage continued the pancake training well into the evening...not going to sleep until the sun was rising...

*Drake saw Sage practicing the pancake drill and smiled, stopping briefly to observe. This was the second time he had seen such dedication to a drill in one day. He silently continued on his way to his room, where at he immediately fell asleep*

After sleeping until mid-day, Sage awoke. He shook his head a bit, looked around, and proceeded into the kitchen. After eating a few pancakes and some juice as breakfast, he took a few of the towers of pancakes into the main room. With these surrounding him, he resumed his pancake training drills.

She walked out as she looked around sighing, she was bored, she hadn't seen Neko in forever, or the other, she felt just as she had back at home now, she knew nothing would change, she was starting to accept the fact that maybe, she was meant to be alone like this, and just train to become stronger than her brother and beat him, ..................that............was her purpose.........She walked into her room as she held onto her crystal necklace as she sighed.
"maybe I really am just not good enough." She said looking in the mirror as she sent her fist into it as it shattered.

As draining as yesterday's training was, she was feeling pretty good today. She decided to stick to her main routine again, and see if she'd get the kenjutsu training in or not. First stop as she left her room was the kitchen. Again today, she made a simple sandwich, and again she took it and a glass of water out to the main room to eat, and then meditated while the food settled in her stomach.

She finished her sandwich without anyone arriving, and spent the next 20 minutes meditating. After that, she took her plate back to the kitchen, and traded up to a large cup of water. She took the cup and wandered off to the training room.

All the while that Damaris was eating, drinking and meditating, Sage continued his pancake training. When he grew hungry, he would eat the next pancake instead of using it to train, when he grew thirsty, he would get up and get a cup of water (or refill it). And of course, when the trash can got full of melted pancake goo, he would carry it outside and dump it in the forest....where a small army of squirrels began to gather.

"Not bad..."
Clow stood leaning against the double doors of the training room, with his arms crossed. His Sharingan was up, in level four state, as he watched Damaris from a small distance, though they were still in the same room together. Then he smirked.

"Well I have been practicing nearly every day for the last... oh.. 14, 15 years? I'd hope I weren't bad at it after all this time," she said, speaking and grinning a little while she continued the motions, not missing a beat. She continued for a moment longer before reaching a stopping point in her training pattern. She sheathed her katana and pulled her headphones free of the headband, letting them rest around her neck.
"How are you doing tonight?" she asked, finally looking towards the direction where she'd heard Clow's voice.

Clow closed his eyes, and let Sharingan cease, and his eyes become normal, before he opened them again. He dropped his arms and stepped forward from the walk, slowly walking straight and forward, until he stopped right behind her, with a distance in between them still. He looked absent mindedly around the training room, as without really noticing, pulled his Fuuma Shuriken off of his utility belt, by the ring. it looked like there was one blade, but he had let the blades become retracted along the ring. With a flick of the wrist at any time, the other three blades would appear to make the full Fuuma Shuriken.
"I'm doing alright I suppose."
He spoke as he spun the ring around his middle finger, while his free hand rested in his pocket.

"Um... that's good," she said, looking cautiously at Clow. The way he was walking around, and that shuriken that he was spinning so nonchalantly... she wasn't too sure what was going on, but something just didn't feel right about it to her.

"It's been a while since I've been in here. Do you mind if I join you?"
Clow said, facing away from her still, and continued to spin that ring of his Fuuma around his middle finger. He then stopped and instantly gave it a flick of his wrist, letting all four bl;ades come into visibility and he held it out in front of him a certain way, so that his fingers weren't actually against the blades, but against the dull side.

"No... I suppose I don't mind..." she said, still feeling on guard, her eyes not leaving him.

Clow snickered silently and then nodded to her, before spinning the Fuuma in his hand slowly to start out with until the blades became blurs, and it was like a fan. He slowly stretched his arm out to the side and brought his arm around him to the front, using alot of pressure to force himself to do it since the Fuuma spun so swiftly in his hand. Eventually he shot his other arm up and let the Fuuma jump to the other hand, his right hand...his good hand in other words. Then he crouched down slightly, bring his arm back stretching, and he leaned forward, putting one leg/foot forward more than the other. His eyes went from her, then jumped between various spots in the LARGE room, before nodding to her and to himself. He was about to move in his training, and the nod basically said 'Go ahead and continue. I won't be a bother.'
With that, Clow dashed to the side, doing various motions with his body, and movement, almost as if he was fighting with a katana in a sense, using one hand, but really only using a Fuuma Shuriken, spinning so fast in his possession and switching back and forth between hands. Clow was very skilled with this weapon...

She stood watching him for a moment before deciding to go back to her training. Before unsheathing her sword, she made a few quick adjustments. She left her headphones down around her neck, but quickly devised a way to make them secure enough that they wouldn't fall during her training. She still wasn't quite sure if Clow had anything in mind, and she didn't want to be caught off guard by being distracted by the music.
Before long, she was back to her training pattern. She backed up a little bit from her she'd stopped when Clow arrived, and kept working through the series of lunges, turns, and swings that she worked through every practice.
