Eerie Wind Kunoichi (( This has been a lonely place, Nyl. You're the first person that's posted in a few days. Makes me wonder if I spend too much time on here. )) ((not really. Too much time is if you spend every waking minute here. Seeing as you're currently offline, that is of course, not the case. ))

Sitting up slowly as his wound had finished healing, Tutsumi stretched and looked over towards the Academy.
"I wonder who is next..."

An unexpected voice startles Iri out of her musings. She yawns and gets to her feet, her naginata balanced on her left shoulder. I've had enough time to think. Now I need to get cleaned up and do something constructive.
Iri starts toward the dojo, waving a lazy good-bye to Tutsumi over her shoulder.

Nodding slightly towards Iri, Tutsumi yawned and started to shoot small fire pellets at the metal parts of the Academy's porch. The soft 'clang' would hopefully bring out another fighter.

Iri wanders through the dojo and to her room. The naginata is set against the wall beside her bed and she drops her two tessen on her bedside table. She removes the bloody gloves from her hands and stuffs them in a pocket of her sundress. In a few moments she collects a fresh set of clothes, bathing supplies, her version of a first aid kit, her leatherbound book, and a good pen and stuffs the whole bundle into a bag. Just before leaving the room, she grabs her two tessen and slips them into a pocket.
Even from the confines of her room, Iri can hear something repeatedly hitting the dojo's porch. She stops at the door of her room and tilts her head in the manner of a curious bird. It doesn't take long for her to guess at the noise's origin: her newest acquaintance is egging on his next opponent. Iri grins in humor and turns back into her room. She doesn't know what Tutsumi is doing to the porch, but she'd rather not risk getting hit by whatever his ammunition is. Instead, Iri opens her window, jumps out, and flaps her way into the sky.

(( She's still on the dojo grounds. Iri just prefers creeks and streams to normal baths. ))

About half an hour later, Iri can be seen drifting toward the dojo. The knife wound on her shoulder is covered with a pad of gauze and held down by bandages wrapped under her arm and over the shoulder. She doesn't carry medical tape, so the bandages will have to do. To keep anything from rubbing against the bandages, she's wearing her strapless white gown again, the one she wore when she first came to the Academy.
Iri avoids the porch once more. She stops at her window and climbs back into her room. Her bag gets dumped on her bed and she takes out her book and pen. Iri heads into the dojo's main room and plops down on a couch. With her book open in her lap, she clicks open her pen and begins to write down every detail of her earlier fight.

Nyl walked into the main room, yawning and stretching once she noticed Seph wasn't around. A persistent pinging sound echoing off the dojo had woken her. She blinked sleepily, waving at Iri over in the corner.
"Sorry if I'm interrupting, but would you like any tea?"

Iri looks up from her book, hand stopping in midsentence. She looks up at Nyl and smiles an affirmative. "Tea is always a good idea."
Iri sets her book and pen on the table in front of her. She can retrieve them later. As she gets to her feet and heads for the kitchen, Iri says, "I can cook up a meal to go with the tea. Anything you wanna request?"

"Oh, I eat just about anything that isn't fish." Nyl smiled back, holding the kitchen door open for her. "What kind of tea would you like?"
A few things she noticed caused her to lift an eyebrow slightly, but she chose not to say anything else at the moment.

Iri grins in response as she walks through the door, nodding her thanks to Nyl. "Never did like fish, either. I'll just fry some potatoes and sausage then. And I'll drink any tea, but I prefer it to be sweet and iced."
The winged woman starts to move around the kitchen. It doesn't take long for her to have a pan full of food frying on the stove.

Seph's footing failed him, sending him spiraling down towards the ground. He managed to grab a branch, and although it snapped under his weight, it was enough to right his fall. He landed on the soft dirt and crouched, looking up at the tree, then down at his feet.
"What just happened?" He pondered aloud. He took a deep breath, trying to slow his heart, which was moving a mile a minute. He stood up, then looking in the direction of the dojo.

Iced?
"I don't know that we've ever done iced tea before. ...But I suppose it's worth a try." Nyl started to make the tea in the usual way. She had a plan for how to end up at 'cold' instead of 'hot'.
"What'd you do to your shoulder?"

Iri looks up from stirring the pan of food. A sheepish grin dawns on her face. "Well, I got curious about that guy that challened the dojo, Tutsumi Hybrin. We set up a non-deadly bout, but he still kicked my butt. He seems like a nice guy, though."
