//Hey, got your number from someone, can we meet up and work some? – fellow Kiwi time would be good about now// he texted to Aro, after that he made his way towards the training grounds. It seemed like a good neutral territory, and lord only knew he wasn’t up to ask anyone for more favors no matter how brief. He wanted to know more about the island, the basement…whatever he could garner from the only person he was fairly sure would be safe to learn from. So while he waited he let his weapon change from bracelet to ‘naginata’ and practiced swinging her in careful arcs. {{Oh I do like the way you handle me}} she teased {{Such a gentleman, if only all men knew how to handle a woman, you know… like she’s something beautiful and dangerous}} “You are a piece of work eh?” He replied to her, aloud yes because, everyone had to be used to people talking to ‘themselves’ around here right?

The text was received with a look of pleasure as Arorangi flipped his phone open, dark eyes scanning over the screen. He typed out a quick message in return - Sure thing friend! Meet you on the training fields! - and then snapped the phone shut, grabbing a hair tie on the way out the door.
When he arrived, it was to find Zac already there and practicing, the swing of his weapon cutting through the air. Arorangi was still in the process of twisting his dreads away from his face and he stood still for a moment, just watching as Zac moved. It was only when he spoke aloud that Arorangi made his presence known.
"A great weapon," he said with a grin, stepping forward and lowering his hands. "Good to see you, mate!"

He stopped his swing, lowering the weapon carefully before turning to really face his new friend on the island. “Ah… thank you! I…yeah she says you aren’t so bad either.” He laughed. “Good to see you too! Thanks for coming!” He lifted the weapon and rested her gently against his shoulder. “I hoped you wouldn’t mind! And I… admit I had a few questions, ran into a bloke on my hall…” He shook his head with a small frown. “Think I pissed him right off when I asked him to hold by bag while I climbed over his ruddy bedroom, which was in the hall.”

Arorangi grinned as he summoned his own weapon. The spear appeared in his left hand with a flash of bright light, and he twirled it merrily in his fingers, the weapon spinning merrily. "I am glad to come and help out a friend!" he said cheerfully. "I have not yet had the chance to practice fighting, so this is a good opportunity to help each other learn!"
He arched a brown, tilting a head. "He sleeps in the hall?" Arorangi asked, brows drawing together in mild confusion. "That is not a good place to sleep! He could get stepped on, or perhaps even trampled if there is an emergency! Why does he sleep in the hall? Does he need a room?"

"Nah, he moved his whole room into the hall so he could scrub the room out! I had to step all over to get by, so I asked if he'd hold my duffle till I got by eh? I guess that and the fact I'm not sleeping in the basement pissed him off sommat. Wouldn't give it back till I got to my room, told me all these creep show things... Said there was a room where someone was murdered. I believed him I think... Least till he tried to be spooky about it again." kuroopu -cracks up at rolling lower than you XD

"I see," said Arorangi, nodding his head. "I was going to offer my room if he did not have one, but I see that he does not need one. Why should your not sleeping in the basement anger him? There are rooms upstairs; I am sure if he is stuck in the basement, he could move up! I am not sleeping in the basement either."
The idea that the basement housed some sort of creepy, torture dungeon sort of deal was mildly concerning, but Arorangi brushed it off and have Zac a bright smile. "I am still getting used to this weapon," he said, waving it a little. "But it cannot be too different from spearfishing, so I will hope for the best!"
He readjusted his footing and took his stance, gripping the spear in his two large hands. After a moment, he took a breath, and then lunged forward, brandishing the weapon in Zac's direction.
"How are you liking Deus so far?" Arorangi asked conversationally.

Their weapons met, a stale mate and he grinned. “So far, beside that it’s not so bad, I learned a new word already!” he laughed, remembering the meeting. “And found people here are into tattoos, glad I bought my gear. May be wishing a bit that I’d spent more time spar fishing and less time driving ink into skin…. But only sort of so far.” He winked; if I have you to train with I’ll never regret learning tattoo…. I mean if you wanted to continue your designs, I couldn’t just let you go to some PARLOR.” He grinned widely.

Clearly neither one of them was doing too well in their attempts, since Zac's weapon nearly bounced off of Arorangi's with a clatter. He gave a shout of laughter, shaking his head, and took several steps backwards, regaining his footing in the proper place.
"I will have to have you do more for me," said Arorangi, tilting sideways so that the tattoos all up and down his left arm were clearly visible. "They are my pride and joy! I am very proud of them, and I would be honored if you would continue to help me!"
Clearly he was very proud of both his heritage and showing off that heritage, Arorangi swinging the spear around, nicking Zac's side.

“Atch!” He winced in surprise at the impact, shifting away from it half out of self-preservation. “Nice shot… nice shot!” He congratulated. “And I look forward to adding to your tattoos!” He grinned and took a counter swipe of his own. He jabbed forward aiming towards the Aro’s dominant shoulder “I can ink that for you later!” He teased and grinned. HP: 37 Damage: 4

"Thanks, mate!" said Arorangi brightly, and pivoted where he stood, half dodging Zac's next thrust of his weapon; the blade still caught him around the shoulder, however, and he laughed good-naturedly, Arorangi twisting his body back around to face him.
"I think I would like to get some birds done," he said musingly. "On my legs! Or maybe on my back."
He twisted the spear and slammed it into Zac's leg experimentally.

The leg strike had been an excellent choice, it knocked Zac’s next attack off by dropping him to one knee making his strike go errant, slicing through the air even as he stifled a rather creative curse for a variety of reasons, at least part being balance but the rest likely having to do with how much that had smarted.
“Yah mate, that sounds great!” He encouraged at the idea of the birds. “I thought I might see if I could make a good representation of your weapon too if yeh wanted, like the faces but… something like a new tradition. Wasn’t sure if you’d be into that though.” He admitted as he got to his feet again, raising the spear to try and defend himself from whatever came next.
