[1 vs 1] It's been a while. (Rep/Rin)

[Baneful]

Sometimes Rep had whims. Usually those whims were tied to violence. It just so happened that afternoon he was picking up some things from his storeroom, namely an oversized knitted jumper he'd knitted several days previously, when he found himself lingering on Rin's dormitory door. He passed by this way all the time, but it occurred to him that it had actually been a while since he saw the other hunter last.

Heading over, he knocked the door. She probably wasn't in, but it never hurt to just..say hello sometimes right?

 

[Saliru]

There was a loud shuffling inside and the wild footfalls of someone stumbling to the door. A silent pause. Then the clicking of locks and a creek of the door as Rin peered out and up at him with wide eyes, "Hel-- Rep?" He caught her entirely off guard.
 

[Baneful]

Rep tried to pretend he wasn't carrying a clashy rainbow coloured jumper, but it was pretty hard to do. He wasn't sure why the quartermaster had so much glitter wool, but he hadn't asked. He raised a hand in a vague hopeless wave. "Er. Hey. I was.. just.. passing and like. I erm. Thought I'd say hello and like, ask if you wanted to like do something together?"

Pleasant socialisation was hard work.

 

[Saliru]

Rin noticed with a quirked brow but decided not to comment. She eyed him over thoughtfully before opening her door much wider to greet him with a lazy slouch, "I'd very much like that - got anything specific in mind William?"

So much hard work.
 

[Baneful]

"A spar probably. It's more fun than lets go for a ******** walk or whatever." He had noted her glance at the jumper though, and figured maybe he could offload it on her. "Also, would you have anything you would want to trade for a ******** hideous jumper?"

He held it up, it had what looked like a dragon knitted into it. Or maybe it was a pony, or a dog, or well. It was something.

"Official Scottish merchandise."

 

[Saliru]

"A spar you say?" Rin was listening and looked very interested indeed. Not in the jumper though. Yow, he wasn't kidding, "Err... I don't have anything I could trade for that..," she lied. "It's... nice though," she lied again.
 

[Baneful]

Rep wasn't feeling her enthusiasm for his jumper efforts and seemed to wilt, folding it up again. "Nah, I know, I won't find anyone to trade for it, it's ******** crap."



"But aye. A spar. Just let me like, throw this back in my room." He wasn't sure what he'd intended to do with it now, maybe give it to Jordan or Harrison. Both ideas seemed terrible in retrospect.

 

[Saliru]

Rin reached out to try and catch the jumper by a sleeve, "No. Don't be like that. I just... can't I just have it? As like... a gift? With meaning?" What the hell was she saying?!
 

[Baneful]

Rep's gaze flicked down to the jumper and her hold on it and he frowned for just a second, feeling it had to be more out of pity than anything else. But he let go of the jumper anyway, an exercise in how many hours he could sink into something with no aesthetic merit.

"Yeah. Have it." he said distantly. "I made it." In case that wasn't obvious.  

[Saliru]

"Thank you," Rin smiled as she carefully took it into her possession and folded it. "So.. a spar?" she turned to head back into her room and place the jumper on the foot of her bed before getting up again to close and lock her door as she went into the hall. It had been so long since he'd allow one so she was not about to turn her nose up at the opportunity, "Straight up attacks or?"
 

[Baneful]

Rep nodded and followed along the hall in the wake of the other hunter. "Anything goes, as always." he didn't know any other way to fight. What was the point of restraint when on the battlefield your opponent would never show any?

"No holds barred."

 

[Saliru]

Rin smirked idly to herself as she lead the way out of the dorms and onto the training fields, "Perfect. You know exactly what I like."

Rin turned her head to shoot Rep a little toothy grin. This day was looking more up than she was expecting already.
 

[Baneful]

"You just happen to like what I like is all." he grunted.

Once they arrived at the training fields he wandered out ahead, summoning Tracey with a flourish of his hand, the massive axe carried just above ground level as he sauntered to a clear spot and turned.

"Ready?"

 

[Saliru]

While Rep's back was turned, Byr was summoned to Rin's hand and already raised, "Always."
 

[Baneful]

He closed his eyes for a second, finding his center. He'd done nothing but lose lately and it was getting tedious to say the least. His entire life felt like an uphill treadmill that was going slightly too fast for him to outpace. The sun that couldn't win a spar. He needed Harrison to offset the odds just to succeed at things. He needed to cheat. It was kind of depressing.

Rin got a smirk, not a cruel one, more resigned than anything else. "Incoming"

In a snap he went from standing idly to swinging the massive axe into action, clashing satisfyingly with her shield. He didn't think he'd win, but it was Rin. It didn't matter.
