Welcome to Gaia! ::

Of course, like a certain marsupial, Levi was hanging in a tree simply enjoying the outdoors. A bit sleepily, she was startled by a sound not too far away. Pigtails hung upside down with gold eyes peering around to follow the noises. It was like blades through air. Something quick paced and sudden. Indeed, her ears didn't betray her; off a good few yards away was a boil of similar height ding what looked to be like training.

The boil had blades alright- but more intriguing to the tatzel was his movements. There was a sort of precision as he would strike at air. Calculated movements, hmm...

Levi climbed back into the tree and flopped back down onto solid ground with a thump on all fours. She didn't stand just then, but rather observed for a moment. Is that... a skirt? No. The bottom attire separated into two legs when the boil would kick. Decidedly from this display of obvious strength, the tatzel's lips perked into a sly grin; she wanted to test him herself.

She sprang into the air then with the aid of her tail.

Not appearing from behind- she chose a more direct path. Infront of him. She was far enough to not be in his line of attack, but close enough to be within his complete vision.

Arms behind her back in a non-threatening manner, she realized that this was Shun. Brows raised as she head tilted in curiousity. Shun- fancy seein' out 'ere. What' cha'll doin'? ...thems some fancy moves ya got. She'd only briefly seen the boil dance during the hip thrust dance at prom... he was able to move with admirable agility. The boil couldn't fool Levi.

It was not enough to satiate her curiosity. The tatzel was just getting started with her investigation.

In the spirit of her usual attack-then-ask-questions-later philosophy, Levi would have jumped right into the training with Shun then. However, she was still learning about the boil. Back in not-math class, she'd noted that the reaper lacked ears or a tail. Maybe he was like Mot? What was that term...

Crossing her arms and tapping her head for a moment with flat ears, she perked up again to pronounce her findings. hmmm creeper- eh.....wait...reaper. Ya'll 'er a reaper? am 'irite? Mot didn't have any distinct critter features either (she wasn't going to count the hat; that was apparel), so it was a good guess in the tatzel's opinion purely for this reasoning.

Mot wasn't as rough as this boil. Shun wasn't as tall, but as the tatzel circled him, she did conclude that he was a fighter. A fighter; rough n' tough. Coming back in front of Shun, she now sported a toothy grin. The tatzel would fight this reaper...oh yes... this would be interesting.

Aye,... ya'll think those thar things she nodded her chin towards the blades Shun brought er more fun than 'a good 'ol one-on-one with yer bare hands? Levi preferred hand-to-hand combat to any use of weapons. She still held her wide grin in interest of this information. Get the boil away from his toys and see what he'll do. Were those moves and kicks as powerful as they looked?

oh- so he was ready

The tatzel took note of the disappearing dagger trick with some awe. IT wasn't everyday such things poofed in and out of existence right before your eyes. She couldn't help but wonder if this was a trick all reapers knew or if it was just Shun.

Practically beckoning for her to attack him with that pose, Levi's tail coiled in excitement. She moved back down into a crouch for a moment. A low hiss vented through clenched teeth in between perked lips. Yer readin' ma mind, boil. She looked forward to testing his abilities strength-for-strength.

Jolting forward in a zig zag fashion on all fours, the tatzel bounded upward a the last foot or so in front of Shun, leaping above him... and ready to see how/if he'd block an aerial attack. She would grab him from the shoulders and used the force of her legs and tail to force him back, bringing his body down.

Levi's plan, like so many other fighters, was to take the opponent to the ground. Once there, all she had to do was restrain them; a tatzel specialty.

Good, Levi thought to herself coming down into a full landing on solid ground again. THUMP. In place of where Shun once was, she turned her head to glare at him, letting out a snicker. It would be fun. Shun obviously knew enough strategically to exit his position entirely if he was to avoid what force she had... he gave her that much credit. Smart boil to not underestimate a ghoul.

Well, if he'd already suspected she had potential, that meant she wouldn't be able to use her trickery on him as she did with West. This would be a sparring test; Shun's movements against her own. Time to fight like a tatzel! He took on a posture that was similar to her usual stance now.

A long thick white tail whipped around her while she crouched and swipped at the side of Shun's face like a punch. She didn't move at all for this; just that long tail which seemed to move like it had a mind of it's own. To Levi, her tail was just like another arm or leg and functioned as such. Only longer...

She barely felt an impact when, on return, the white tail was grasped by her opponent. Time to panic? Time to pull back, demanding he release it? No. Now they were connected as if by a rope. Not necessarily a bad position to be in if you were trying to get close to your opponent.

Shun tried to yank at her tail and she moved with the yank as he did so. She straightened out a leg, sliding a foot upward in the air towards his chest in an attempt to disturb his position as well. Allowing her hands and other foot to bare the scrape of the ground, Levi grunted slightly. If Shun yanked too hard, he was going to get a chest full of kick by a size 10 sneaker.

The tingling sensation from her hands drove her to pat them together, getting the feeling back. Hissing to the blood-rushing feeling returning (a happy hiss?), Levi looked towards where Shun now was. It was going to be unavoidable; as the boil lunged at her, fist at the ready, Levi took a fist to the jaw. Whirling her head around involuntarily, she took a moment of shock before spitting on the ground. It wasn't bleeding, luckily, but she did feel a great deal of force in Shun's right hook.

Nice... wiping at her lower lip, the tatzel ducked, and bounded up at the boil's chin for an uppercut.

Agility she had; Shun was just very practiced in his fighting style, it seemed. Truly, he was proving himself to be a really fun opponent. She saw the reaper turn his back on her for what would have been just a moment.

It was luckily at the last second that she crotched again, just feeling the kick hit her levitating hair during her movement. Even with this, she was moved back just a bit, making her position a bit wobbly, but still possible. With his one leg in the air, Levi swipped at Shun's standing leg with her tail.
