Now that she was out of the infirmary and her mouth no longer forced shut, Shiloh was sure Maebe had a lot to say. He was also sure that she had a lot of explaining to do, as far as he was concerned, more so that the scribbled notes thus managed between them during his visits.

That didn't meant they couldn't be productive while they caught up. Shiloh was worries for Maebe and as her best friend, probably far too over protective. He obviously couldn't always be there to protect her, though considering it was Shiloh it might have been more hindrance than help, and vice versa for her. They had seemed to find trouble separately but trouble all the same, and getting in some training to combat their knack for finding said trouble couldn't possibly hurt.

Even though he'd been the one to ask her if she wanted to train, it had taken several days of assurance she was okay before he'd finally texted her from the fields early one morning.

Maebe had texted him in mid-transit, so when she received his reply, she was already walking out the door. She smiled at the threat, and put the phone away to skip merrily to the training grounds.

"Shybeeee." She crooned out, unnaturally happy about her ability to speak again. "I'm here, I'm limber, I even did my kegels. I'm ready to play with you. Did you miss me?"

Of course he did. His life had been a shambles every second she was gone, surely.

Thaw was slowly summoned in his full, extended glory, and she twirled him like a baton. "Fresh air feels so good. Everything feels good. Being alive feels good." And now, she was going to spar, and feel achey and painful all over again.

And that, too, would be good.

“Heads up,” was Shiloh’s answer, Haruko hurtling straight for Maebe and Thaw. He’d been waiting for her of course, and that had given him time to think, and Shiloh thinking was never a good idea. He’d decided to go for a surprise attack, at least the best he could manage under the circumstances that she knew he’d be waiting there.

The kegels comment had almost ruined the plan entirely, as he forced back a snort of laughter and tried to focus on swinging his weapon around.

“Of course I missed you, don't you know my life is simply incomplete without you?”

Shiloh's life was so incomplete without Maebe, in fact, that apparently seeing her for the first time that day had him exploding with power and joy. That, or Shiloh was just a cusp away from being too powerful for her to contemplate fighting, and this entire day was going to be a lesson in never underestimating her best friend.

Either way, Maebe did not have much time to decide since she was flying in the air, and slamming down into the ground on her a**.

"Wow." She growled out, rubbing her a** as she pushed herself back up. "So incomplete that you try to kill me. I see how it is." She barely had enough time to get up and put herself in a capable defensive position, but her eyes thinned with determination. "Let's try that again now that I'm paying attention, sweetheart."

“If I can’t have you, no one can!” he called out in mock anguish.

But then he was laughing as he drew away, looking a bit sheepish. “I’m sorry, Maebs, I didn’t mean to hit you that hard, honest. I’ll make it up to you after.”

Really, he hadn’t, but being the sort of oblivious guy he was, he’d over-compensated without realizing it, and attacked her at full strength without taking into consideration the fact that she most certainly would not be one hundred percent ready to defend herself. He held off while she got back onto her feet, and he was pleased to see the resolute look on her face. That was his Maebe, the one he knew, the fighter. He was glad she could still make that sort of expression, after everything, he was glad things hadn’t broken her down.

“If you’re ready, then,” he grinned, diving headfirst into another straightaway, swinging Haruko around himself and in Maebe’s direction once more.

Maebe had been ready the first time (sort of), and she was ready the second. Shiloh was, simply put, just better, and it showed. So when he came at her again, he landed a solid hit that had her whining with pain, and she barely managed to prod him away with her trident before hopping back again.

"Okay, let's be real for a second." She huffed out. "I'm rusty, and you've apparently gotten way better at this. But it's okay. I'll keep trying."

She shook her hair out and rolled her shoulders. "You just get to carry me to the infirmary and explain to them that you kicked your best friend's a**." Guiltguiltguilt.

He was pretty sure the nurses would kick his a** if he kicked her a**, and after parrying away her trident, he gave her a sort of puppy-dog look.

"I'm not trying to kick your a**, Maebe," he crooned to her sweetly, "It's just happening. You should do something about it."

He braced himself for what was sure to follow, holding Haruko's chain in front of him.

"Besides, you had plenty of time to train before your infirmary trip, you've certainly been busy enough!"

There was a hint of an indignant tone in his voice, one that said if she hadn't been training, that Maebe had better fess up as to what, or who, she'd been doing real quick.

"I have been training." She informed him, a little growl showing up in her voice as she swung for him and missed, again. "You're just a slippery little ******** stab of guilt prodded her. "And I guess. I've been a little distracted." Just a little.

“Have you,” he asked, looking intentionally quizzical as he jumped just out of reach from Maebe’s swing. He had a hard time believing her though part of him was glad – Thaw’s hits packed a wallop when Maebe’s aim rang true, and when she missed things were certainly less painful.

He geared up to counterattack, grasping tightly onto Haruko’s chain but as he went to send her flying, Maebe let out just enough of a hint that would stop any best friend in their tracks, especially one like Shiloh, who loved to know about other people, and especially those he cared about. And, when it came down to it, anything that was powerful enough to distract Maebe was nothing short of a miracle. So, with his eyes wide, Haruko flung carelessly past Maebe, not even close enough to make a breeze but it didn’t particularly matter to Shiloh. The Inugami was yowling unhappily in his head but he ignored her, she knew better than anyone that Maebe news was of the utmost importance.

Dragging her chain back, he practically bounded over to Maebe, looming over her in his eagerness.

“Spill. Now.”

Maebe would have taken advantage of Shy's mistake in a heartbeat, if it weren't so obvious why he'd faltered (and if he was anyone but Shy.) Instead, she held Thaw insecurely in front of her, and picked at his new wings with her fingernails.

"I guess," She hedged, trying to find a way to admit what happened without actually sounding mushy about it. "I'm trying on this whole, being in love thing you kids always rave about." She held Thaw closer, ducking behind his wing. "Just for a little while. Until I find something better."

By the way she was using Thaw to hide her face, and the glow behind it, she was never going to find anything better.

LOL U LIKE MY USELESS DEFENSE ROLL JUST FOR FUN
PostPosted: Tue Jul 15, 2014 7:45 pm


Shiloh, of course, had never considered that she might continue fighting, first of all being that he was Shiloh, and second of all that she was Maebe, and while she could definitely hold her own against him, she never fought dirty... At least not too much... With him anyway.

Needless to say, her defense was hardly enough to keep an excited best friend at bay, and even more futile when said person was Shiloh. He carefully ducked under Thaw's wing, gently prying him forward so he could meet her eyes, trying not to grin too much at her cute blushing face. It wasn't a sight he got to see too often, and he treasured it.

"Oh really? Just trying it out?" He leaned forward, the tip of his nose almost touching hers."That's not nearly a good enough answer, Maebebaby, and you know it. You've got some explainin' to do, missy and you can start with who, then when, then where, I want all the deets."

Maebe batted him away when he started to pry Thaw off of her, and she put her hand on his shoulder to try and push him farther. "Well, I don't really care if it's not a good enough answer, because I'm not going to walk blindly into some kind of ridiculous situation that only people like you seem to benefit from, without some level of hesitation. So yes. I am trying it out." She wouldn't look in his eyes, even as he pressed his nose against her and tried to get her to look at him. She stood her ground, her lips pursed tightly.

"I will tell you the details, if you promise not to try and convince me that this is more than just a trial. A test. I'm giving it a chance, that's all."

Still pressed nose to nose with her best friend, she finally lifted her eyes to look at him, and took in a sharp breath. She told Shiloh everything - everything. Every partner she'd ********, every person she hated, every single thing in her life was just fodder to divulge into the man in front of her. This was no different.

"Otto." She started out, helplessly quirking her lips as she paused long enough to make Shiloh think she was done. Which she wasn't. "And, Cami." She had to admit, telling him that was a little more fun than she'd expected. "I don't know how to answer when, because up until just a few days ago, I was living deep in the waters of DeNile. So. Let's just say.. it's a recent development."
