 ████████████████████████████████████████████▐████▌████████ "It's an interesting concept when you think about life objectively..." ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Chihana Sakura ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Chihana pondered on his statement about humans being good and demons being evil, a lengthy debate that has always ruled and governed most of this worlds ideals. It wasn't wrong but it was by no means right either, humans worked differently and were cunning by all means where demons were maybe a little to out there with their approach. "I don't think it's an ability that Kitsune as a race can use." she said softly. "Its just one of the many abilities I have" ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Wavelength: --- | Concealed: --- | Mood: --- | OC: --- ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ "...You come to see that everything is precious regardless of race or gender." ████████▐████▌████████████████████████████████████████████

Illo nodded, watching the petals dance around in the cool breeze. This really was nice. Here Illo thought the place was nice by itself; it was even nicer with all this!
"I see," said the monk curling his toes into the sand. "Well, either way, it's very nice." There was another difference between their backgrounds. When Illo was undergoing his training at the monastery he was trained under the idea that each technique was meant ultimately for battle. Whatever little parlor tricks came out of it were simply a happy accident, which of course were discouraged except during festivals and leisure time. He remembered how it felt to take his telekinesis to a level where flight was possible. What a day! ... Until Enlai found out.
"Do you... Battle with that?" He asked somewhat dumbly. "All my techniques are centered around combat, even telepathy. Most of battle is mental, after all."

████████████████████████████████████████████▐████▌████████ "It's an interesting concept when you think about life objectively..." ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Chihana Sakura ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Chihana was a little intrigued with this guys question. If anything she was also like him, someone who fought mentally per say. She relied on finding minute details about people and creating anguish with illusions and elegance with sakura. "You could say that they're battle made" she said softly. Her abilities were diverse and they allowed for all sorts of assignments, recon, assault and stealth, she was suited to a majority of battle tactics. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Wavelength: --- | Concealed: --- | Mood: --- | OC: --- ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ "...You come to see that everything is precious regardless of race or gender." ████████▐████▌████████████████████████████████████████████

Illo nodded along, attempting to grasp some of the petals flying around with his telekinesis. He looked like he was having the time of his life. This how he always looked when he was learning.
"I see," he said turning his face to the kitsune. "How do they work? I'd love to see them in action, if you don't mind." If Illo was barking up the wrong tree with this request he certainly didn't mean to offend her. It was quite possible that this girl wasn't in the mood to show off that side of her ability, seeming to lament her past. But Illo thought there was no better way to come to terms with the past than to move forward, trusting in your own character to make your faults into strengths! Yes, there was a little fire in his eyes. He remembered the first time he defeated Headmaster Enlai.
Such a fine day it was. Run-of-the-mill, really, but fine just the same. Illo had been meditating with Vesuveda in the courtyard when suddenly an epiphany befell him. So power it was that Vesuveda sensed it immediately and alerted the key monks that there was to be a challenge at once. Illo had been on par with the other monks for a long time, going toe-to-toe with Sanji, Vesuveda, and all the rest of the higher Phoenixes for months, but he went no further. Whenever he challenged Enlai he was swiftly defeated, but, after a grueling twenty rounds, on that day Illo finally earned his place as head of the monastery.

████████████████████████████████████████████▐████▌████████ "It's an interesting concept when you think about life objectively..." ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Chihana Sakura ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Chihana smiled a little, her abilities weren't limited by much but she wasn't exactly that skilled either. Mental duress was a lot easier in combat, exposure to something was always a sad fact that most people couldn't really handle. "My abilities are more suited for fighting at a long range, given I have two combat abilities that make fighting close range acceptable but I don't normally fight unless given no other choice" she said softly. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Wavelength: --- | Concealed: --- | Mood: --- | OC: --- ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ "...You come to see that everything is precious regardless of race or gender." ████████▐████▌████████████████████████████████████████████

Long range, eh? That seemed more convenient than most of Illo's conventional tricks. Why worry about toughening up your hands when you could just as easily pummeling them with pretty petals? Illo got the picture now. He nodded, smiling to himself as he watched the moon peek out over the purple-grey buildings and hills of the city.
"That's smart," said the monk simply. "So, what brings you to Death City this time?" There were so many questions he had for her, but he held back, not wanting to make the conversation feel like an interrogation. After all, one can't simply study a being of equal or greater intelligence like one might flip over a turtle; these things needed finessing, and Illo needed to work on that. Besides, a theme of the conversation had been that both of these species--all species, really--were equal... Maybe he would just scrap the whole field trip idea.
"Myself I came here to train under Death himself," he continued after she told her story. "That was the idea, I mean." Here he had that dumb embarrassed smile again. "I never actually got to. See, my brothers never really explained what training under Death meant; so when I got here I thought being a janitor at the school would have been enough to finish my training." He gave a shrug and a short sigh.
"... But I ended up becoming a lot stronger even with that--going on missions and all, I mean." He seemed to remember some promise he made to himself, smiling inwardly. "It may take me a while, but I don't think I can ever give up trying to reach my goal."

████████████████████████████████████████████▐████▌████████ "It's an interesting concept when you think about life objectively..." ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Chihana Sakura ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Chihana was taken back by his question of why she was there. She really had no reason, nor did she really know why she was their either. Perhaps its was interest in humans, they were always described as the most dangerous species in regards to ambition. They were always aiming for higher, better places and would do whatever it took to achieve what they want, greed was also a factor that was always taken into account, sometimes they wanted what wasn't theirs but then again, that goes for almost everything in the world. "If I knew, I'd tell you why I'm here but even I don't know anymore. I'm sort of just here and there at this point" she said softly chuckling, her head turning to face him, locks of hair falling over her lips.
As he began talking about his ambitions for why he came her, she saw the same thing she had just thought about, how humans can be a scary thing. Not one to shy away from directness she ushered. "Do you really have to train under him? Aren't you strong enough to protect the people you need too?" she asked softly, her fingers poking at his arms playfully. "You seem strong by all means." she said sternly, a soft smile forming on her lips. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Wavelength: --- | Concealed: --- | Mood: --- | OC: --- ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ "...You come to see that everything is precious regardless of race or gender." ████████▐████▌████████████████████████████████████████████

(bump) Illo laughed with her when it was time to, and rolled a little, opened up a little and playfully flexed while wearing a soft smile that turn a quiet giggle--did men giggle?--loose. Soon, though, that smile faded. It was gone and there was nothing but a hard line and weary eyes looking out onto the reflective water.
"You'd think so, wouldn't you?" He said through a broken chuckle. Just the thought of his oversight had already sent him over the edge. He combed a hand through his hair sloppily. "Sure, I'm ambitious," he admitted, "maybe even greedy, but as strong as I was I wasn't able to do anything." His shoulders rose and fell. He looked over, forehead glowing softly.
"Hold still." Illo used his telekinesis to replay all he knew about his partner's death to this strange kitsune with the award-winning smile. From leaving to train one day to seeing her in the morgue when he returned. There were a few flashbacks thrown in, showing how many times they had worked together, how many times he'd protected her until then.
"So... There it is. Sometimes you just aren't strong enough." He looked away again, ashamed and embarrassed about being so ashamed, so vulnerable, in front of stranger.
