 “Singing songs of sleep,
the wind blows you far away...” “It's a pleasure to meet you and it makes me happy to know that you don't have any negative intentions for a real sword. I can see that your body is used to a different type of sword, most likely a larger sword or a rapier. It doesn't look like katanas were your weapon of choice,” Vańa murmured while lightly clapping in front of him. His expression had remained in the serious expression although there was a hint of cheer in his tone. How could he tell another person that he wasn't sure how to smile a genuine smile much less show any expression other than irritation and seriousness. “Pretty good still... Think of it as a second chance at life to make up for whatever you did wrong as a human. They have movies, books and little animated shows on this kind of thing nowadays.”
Drawing the wooden sword out again, he spun it around his hand before taking up his stance again. “Once you get the basics of the sword, the rest just seems to come naturally. You should catch on quicker than most since you've used a sword before. I'm usually free if you'd like to spar also.... I'm not good with conversations if it hasn't already become obvious.”
“Where, oh where,
did it take you?” {( Out.Of.Concerns: ;; )}

  ♡ ♡ ♡ { Inalir O' Jeneus Tanith }
▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▀ ▀ ▀ "Yeah... I think I used to have a big sword, very heavy" She smiled at him. She was quick to catch in the cheerful undertone of his voice, so she felt more relaxed even when his expression didn't chance. He spoke about how she now had a second chance to correct her mistakes so she smiled and nodded "It is and I am thankful for that, yet it will be difficult helping humans while trying not to feast on the only thing I eat" She sighed and regained her stance to keep practicing taking out the sword smoothly. He had also taken up his stance once more. She listened to him while she took out and 're-sheathed' the wooden sword. He mentioned he was no good at conversations which surprised her "I think you are good at making conversation... I would have actually not been able to approach you if you hadn't done it first" She continued to practice and then stopped "And about your idea of sparing... I would enjoy that very much... as soon as I get the hang of things" She smiled and put the wooden sword away "Oh... would you like to eat after we take care of you hair?" She said a bit doubtful. She actually didn't get any nutrition or satiation from eating, but she liked the taste of the food. ▀ ▀ ▀ ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀

“Singing songs of sleep,
the wind blows you far away...” xXx“Then we should get you a weapon your body will be more familiar with. As for your problem of feasting upon those that you're trying to help... Well I'd take it as a way to learn self restraint,” he stated as he tossed his wooden sword up, catching it on his foot as he'd done earlier only for it's shape to change into that of a broadsword yet remaining as solid wood. Kicking it up, he seemed to vanish from where he was standing for a moment before returning with her wooden sword in one hand and the larger version in his other hand. “Broadswords are bigger and heavier than claymores yet both are set on your back, being held by leather straps that can easily be released through the motion of pulling the sword over the shoulder. Not all people care for sheaths, but still. Try this one out.”
xXxVańa extended the wooden broadsword type sword out to the female before shifting his gaze back away from her. “I had a feeling you were going to, but seemed to get intimidated by me. It's pretty common amongst many species to become intimidated by me just sitting in the same room as them. It usually only gets worse when they figure out that I was the infamous Battousai the ManSlayer... My aura and lack of facial expressions that seem kind tend to scare people away.”
xXxHis left eye seemed to twitch at the old nickname as the scar beneath the patch on his cheek started to sting a bit. Shifting his gaze back up to the girl to show blue eyes in place of the golden-reddish-orange color it'd been a moment before. “I'd love to, Miss Inalir. They say that food always tastes better when you are with friends and family.” A small flicker of a smile passed over his face at having been seen as normal even though he still had that intimidating aura that would scare just about anyone away.

Matt Matt walked into the dojo with a slightly irriated look on his face. "Want to go to class with her but she purposely abandoned me." he mumbled to himself. He walked over to a punching dummy and began to warm-up

xxVańa “Cirdan” Hielxx “Singing songs of sleep,
the wind blows you far away...” xXx“I'm... Sorry you were ditched,” Cirdan mumbled before whacking a practice dummy with a wooden sword. At the swift movement, the dummy went flying across the room and made the redhead lightly brush his fingers over the cross-shaped scar on his left cheek. That wasn't supposed to happen... He didn't even hit it all that hard. “Gomen ne...” he mumbled while switching his training methods from a physical target to the air.

 Chi Chi stepped inside the Dojo, her blues eyes regarding others inside with unseen emotion. In her left hand she held a two handed wooden kendo sword. Her right hand held a strap attached to an elongated bag that was tied off. She looked away from the people and made her way to a free place. Her green skirt flitted along with her legs as she moved, her attention to her destination. She slowly sat down upon her legs and set the bag on the ground infront of her knees. She closed her eyes and seemed to meditate. On what, was unknown. She kept a steady breathign routine as she just sat there, the Wooden Sword across her lap, one hand on the hilt the other on the blade.

xxVańa “Cirdan” Hielxx “Singing songs of sleep,
the wind blows you far away...” xXxGlancing briefly at the female who had entered the room, the redheaded male kept a rather calm air about him as his wooden sword sliced through the air. The best thing about imaginary sparring partners, or enemies, were that they were always a challenge. The worst part of these imaginary beings was that of them being easily defeated seeing as they couldn't do any real damage to you. Slowly losing himself in the killing of past enemies and trying to tune out a soft ringing in his ears from his memories calling it forth once again, his swings started becoming faster and yet more violent than they'd been before. Death was an option, but his body always seemed to refuse it which merely made his loneliness grow that much longer. People got hurt around him even when he tried being nice or they simply grew fearful of his lack of expression and the aura that followed him; the aura of death. It wasn't like he was death, but rather more of an air of death where many had died around him whether it be by his own hand or other hands.

Yachiru Yamoto, Chi Chi for short, continued to sit there, her wooden sword on her lap and her eyes closed in meditation. After a few minutes of this her eyes slowly opened and she took up her wooden sword, gripping with both hands and taking a stance. Position one. Her bright blue eyes shifted to the man who was fighting.. no one.. for just a brief moment before she looked forward to the wall ahead... She slowly lifted the wooden sword over her head. Position two. And then brought the sword down quickly, cutting through the air until it was back at position one. A basic excersise. She repeated the motion over and over, not seeming to pay much attention to anything else. The girls aura seemed non existent, as if something was pulling it inward towards her and not outwards to radiate.

xxVańa “Cirdan” Hielxx “Singing songs of sleep,
the wind blows you far away...” xXxHearing the swish of something through the air besides his own wooden sword snapped the redhead out of his memories. While something inside of him screamed to swing first and ask questions later, he paused, flipping his wooden sword around so it was tucked under his arm, and watched as the girl moved gracefully in the basic motions of using the sword. She obviously had training on using the sword although the methods seemed to have changed since he was taught the ways of the sword. Then again, he wasn't really all that surprised.
xXx"Kendo style?" he asked lightly while watching her swing her wooden sword in the basic motions. It wasn't anything like the basics his sensei had taught him, but it was definitely similar. His sensei wouldn't have taken on another student after him anyways because he'd thought no one really understood the purpose behind the sword and he'd prepared to even kill his only remaining student for being naïve. While there was various types of how samurai used the sword, it was usually very similar to each other so it wasn't hard to see why it seemed similar yet so very different in just the basics. That just meant she'd learned how to fight from a different samurai who'd passed on his style of fighting.

Chi Chi did not yet respond as she did her basics. After a few more moments she finally stopped and turned her head to the guy who watched her, her long purple hair falling over her shoulder as she turned. Yes it is. May I help you with something? Her tone was nice enough but her expression seemed a bit lacking even though she gave the guy a small friendly smile. She turned to fully face him now, her wooden sword at her side and the long bag which the sword goes into at her feet. Her blue eyes looked him over briefly, eyeing the wooden sword he held as well. She looked for a line in the wood that would say if it was a hidden blade or just a Practice sword. It took her but a moment to look and then look back at him.

xxVańa “Cirdan” Hielxx “Singing songs of sleep,
the wind blows you far away...” xXxBriefly shaking his head, the redhead gave a vague flicker of a smile similar to her own; an expression void of matching the tone given. "Just making a small mental note on how the times have changed since I started leaving my house again. It's a wooden practice sword so no worries about it. The school would be yelling at me if I used the real thing and broke some of the hands of the other students," Cirdan answered lightly as he kept the wooden sword set into place under his arm. It wouldn't be very nice if he seemed threatening, or any more threatening to be exact, with his wooden sword out of the non-violent position it was in now. Then again, many people took just carrying a sword on your hip as a threat which just made his interaction with other people that much more difficult.
xXxXxBrushing his red hair back as if he was trying to slick it back, the cross-shaped scar on his left cheek became more visible than it'd been in the shadow of his hair. This haircut surely didn't fit him and he intended to hit the irritating little Karayan warrior for cutting his hair so oddly before he came here. It probably matched the clothes the weird little teenager had forced on him that he was now wearing, but it didn't feel right to him. It probably didn't help that his hair had been long and pulled back into a ponytail ever since he could remember, but still.
xXxXxShaking off the thought, he glanced over at the long purple haired female while keeping his hair pulled back in his freehand. "Sorry for bugging you. I just haven't seen anyone using the proper form much as of late so it was nice seeing someone capable of doing so in the present," he murmured lightly before starting towards where a small, colorless bag was keeping a dark blue scarf tied around something else pinned against the wall. He couldn't really recall having approached anyone on anything in the last several decades and yet now he had just because it was nice seeing someone had talent using a sword even if it was just kendo practice. It wasn't like she was running amok killing people with a wooden sword.

Chi Chi shook her head slowly. You are not bugging me at all. As for my form it has been passed through my family for generations. She stood her ground, her feet parted evenly beneath her. It was as if she was waiting for him to do something. My family follows the Bushido code, my ancenstors being Samurai. She tilted her head slightly as she looked him over once more, taking note of the scar upon his face and lightly pondering where he got it and why the person he was showing her seemed... fake. Her brow furrows slightly before she smiled again, perhaps as fake as his own. It is always nice to hear compliments though. Where did you learn from?

xxVańa “Cirdan” Hielxx “Singing songs of sleep,
the wind blows you far away...” xXx"Hiko Seijūrō, a samurai that was one of a kind... I follow the Hiten Mitsurugi style mixed with a little of the Kamiya Kasshin style. The sword is one of few things I'm good at after all," Cirdan responded a little hesitantly after pausing in mid-step. Shifting his icy blue gaze back to the female albeit over his shoulder, he tapped his toes against the floor and contemplated turning back towards her. Sliding the wooden sword into place at his hip where his sword would've been if people didn't have a heart attack over seeing him carry it around, he turned in an about-face and shifted his feet slightly to where it almost looked like he was inviting her to strike first.
xXxXxKeeping his left hand lightly resting against the wooden sword, he tapped his scarred cheek slightly with the opposite hand. "Ask if you're going to ask. Just know that my answers are always honest whether people like it or not. Same goes with everything else I say seeing as I'm pretty much considered a hitokiri," Cirdan stated rather bluntly only to give something of a half-shrug. He wasn't going to force her to ask about it much less do anything, but he wasn't going to let people beat around the bush with him either. Everyone was curious about his scars if not why he always kept a wooden sword at his hip and yet few of them believed over half of answers.

She raised a brow. A Hitokiri. He was an Assassin then. But who was his target? Was it her? At his words her footing seemed to become more firmly in place and her hands gripped her wooden sword tighter. You openly express your reputation? I do not know if that is foolish or if you are just very confident in your abilities.She turned her head slowly to one side, her eyes looking for others who may be there. Her eyes shifted back to the man without turning her head, watching him through gaps in her long purple hair. Over Confidence tends to be a downward hill.. Easy to loose your footing and slip. Right away she began to calculate the best way to over come this man. Should she introduce herself? Would he know her name? Doutful. Her jobs never got a name. She had heard rumors though. Yachiru Yamoto. The Impossible Killer. She had a talent of getting to her targets no matter where they were. No matter the security. A man in a steel box couldnt escape her blade... It was why she introduced herself as Chi Chi instead of her real name. She did not like to kill if she was not being payed. Very well then. My name is Yachiru Yamoto. And I have nothing to ask. I am here only to learn and practice my arts. She stood her ground, her bright blue eyes staring at him, waiting if he made a move. She had no plans to fight anyone on school grounds.

xxVańa “Cirdan” Hielxx “Singing songs of sleep,
the wind blows you far away...” xXx"Believe what you will, Yamoto-chan. I've encountered many near-death experiences and yet I'm still standing here. Death is far kinder than the life I've lived," the redhead responded with a slight shrug. Seeing her stance become firm, he almost wanted to laugh but couldn't bring himself to even smile at her. Instead he simply removed his hand off of the wooden sword so as to try calming the female. His feet never moved, but his icy blue eyes watched the female carefully.
xXxXxBriefly clearing his throat and glancing away, he contemplated which name to give her. He only had one birth name but many couldn't pronounce it seeing as it wasn't in a language species on this planet understood. "Pleasure to meet you, by the way. I'm... I go by many names actually so feel free to choose between Kenshin Himura, Hitokiri Battōsai, Cirdan Hunter, Evil Angel or the name people have issues pronouncing, Vańa Hiel," Cirdan murmured with a slight wave of his hand before dropping it back down to his side. As if as an afterthought, he added, "I've retired from killing people, mostly, and became something of a mechanic-slash-construction worker. I still practice the sword, but I'm... Somewhat sliding into the role of these present day technological devices. Hate the cellphones still, but I'm getting used to them..."
