He'd been near the fields, taking a break with his cigarette and his phone, and so he made it down in decent time, summoning Fiona to hand and swinging the knife idly back and forth by the handguard. He hated sparring. He hated the violence, hated the fact that he enjoyed it and that he was good at it, and after his recent jaunt to the Haunted House, hated that the hate was universal. Defensive was easier but not easy, but it was a fear he wanted to overcome. Needed to, for work. Threats were increasingly coming in the shape of people, rather than monstrous terrors. It was grossly irresponsible of him to continue to avoid confronting his hang-ups at the expense of his responsibilities. Shu was easy. She was unassuming; he liked her. He'd seen her working and she was good at it. This was how he reassured himself that he'd made a good decision as he smoked down the last of his cigarette, waiting for her to arrive and feeling vaguely sick.

"Sorry for the wait, Mr. Thompson!" The girl in a high ponytail apologized. Obviously her hair was too long that it was inconvenient, but no one could tell her to cut it. It had been a while she had spar practice, after promoted to intermediate trainee, her work load increased by a bunch. Underwater observation was one of the new duties added to her schedule, that was also how she made friends with the grumpy adorable mist. Taym would notice her weapon didn't change much, no apparent cues of sharp edges or pointed spikes, it still looked like a toy hammer in giant size, just more fancy. It rang (?) when she held it in n inclined angle to set it aside. Since the Lost Clan mission, since she hurt her best friend, since she was infected, the petite Death sought for more chance to practice her battle skills. She felt not strong enough, she believed it was insufficient for her to protect someone. That was why she was there, ready to spar with the hunter. "Greeting, how are you, Mr. Thompson?" She beamed as she asked.

He tried to keep the agitation out of his voice and very nearly did it. "Just peachy, sweetheart," he said, flicking his cigarette into the grass and grinding it out with his toe. Normally he'd have refrained from littering but it was a tiny little act of assholery that made him feel better about the world in general. "You didn't see that," he added. He paused, and he eyed the hammer and twirled the knife absently around his finger once again. "Take a swing," he said abruptly. "I want to see what I'm blocking against." He was tense, nervous; he looked like he was ready to dart out of the way even though he'd just told her to have a go.

"Good for both of us then! Christmas is coming, my first ever on the island. Do people here celebrate it?" Followed by the question was a silvery giggle, very light. "I didn't see that shh." The direction of her eyes was the contrast of her words. Putting on her gloves, Shu sensed something was weird. The hammer in her grasp was still Z, but the touch and feel were a bit - not the same. Maybe she stared at it for too long, Taym had to call her back to continue what they were doing. "Ok, I'm coming." The petite girl made a distance between them and swung the hammer in a very relaxed way. Her eyes opened wider when she realized the momentum, the hammer was much -lighter...? She couldn't halt the running train, the force were sent out like a wild horse. Because of the unexpected incident, she stumbled afterwards.
The reply of the beast was virtually delightful, but more like an acting.

He'd been sort of amiably waiting for the blow to fall, turning over the best way to sarcastically answer her question, but when the hammer fell it hit him like a truck and Fiona made an idle, unimpressed comment about Taym's repeated tendency to underestimate small, dainty women.
It knocked the wind out of him and he stumbled back, the knife lifted in abrupt tension, and now he looked prepared to dodge, prepared to fend for himself. He looked wary, in fact, as if he were suddenly wondering whether Shu was going to go on a merry rampage, ponytail bouncing happily in the wake of her havoc, and leave him nothing but a greasy spot on the ground.
"Jesus ******** Christ," he wheezed. "Like a goddamned freight train."

Oh no, she did it again. "Sorry, Mr Thompson. I still couldn't grasp the right amount of energy to wield it." It weighted different, lighter and more controllable in hands. The accessory tinkled at the end of it, a merry silvery melody it hummed. When the hunter was prepared, her attack was fully blocked, helping the man to regain man pride, maybe. She wanted continue the christmas topic, but she couldn't judge if it was a good time for that. Shu always liked talking to people, even they were in a spar. It was well shown when the conquest elder attacked her, the petite girl talked with her like a friend newly met. HP: 50/ 50 Dice: 2d10-6 DMG: 4 Rejam Sorry I didn't know you tagged >"<

"Well don't ********' apologize, sweetheart--the whole idea is to hit as hard as you can, ain't it?" He was much more on his guard now, inviting another full-hearted swing, eyeing her warily. And then, as if he could have heard the thought, he added: "In answer to your earlier question, yes, people celebrate it. Some of them quite enthusiastically."

"It's not about familiarize with your weapon and know how to control it?" Shu tilted her head, realized might be she have the wrong concept about spar during the time she was a trainee. It was so dumbfounded that she didn't move at all, but responded to the conversation, "Oh that's great!" Her eyes alight with sparkles. "People on twitter said they were turned into snowman, elves and gingerbread, I'm hoping to experience that. Was that the contribution of the Life Division?" and the maid cosplay event and kittens, she wanted all of those happened on her. The petite girl touched her face after that, wondered if what she thought was frankly shown on her face. HP: 50/ 50 Dice: 2d10-6 DMG: 0

"I wish I ********' knew," he said, "so I'd know whose ******** a** needed a boot." Clearly Taym had not been a fan of the Yuletide adventures.
"To be honest," he added, jerking his chin at the hammer, "I'm not sure how the heavy weapons are supposed to work. I always figured you just swung as hard as you ********' could but maybe there's some measure of finesse involved, hell if I know." He twirled the knife around one finger, a stupid little display of mobility, before dropping back into a defensive stance. "You worked with Jordan Miller at all?"

"Something bad happened to you?" Shu didn't afraid to ask, the petite Asian's intention was innocent and poisonous, as if asking if whether today's weather is a good one. The smile she gave was sweet and delectable, pretty much resembled her expression when she enjoyed a marvelous dessert. "Yup! He's a great teacher. He told me the basis and shared with me his techniques. Ferros is amazinggggg!" Her eyes were alight with morsel of excitement as she chirped like a baby bird. The beast of uppity hissed.
"Hmm...my hammer is a bit different, you see-" Shu grabbed the ornamented sphere slightly bigger than her hand out, "- I can hit with this as well, so I think I need to find out how much forces I need without hitting myself...." She explained what was in her little mind of fluffy clouds, thinking the show-off was kinda awesome.

"Well that was a hell of a lot of force right out of the gate and you seemed to handle it OK," he pointed out, eyeing her, it must be said, still with some nervousness. The usual uncomfortable feeling was rising, somewhere between fear and rage, and he knew that Fiona was straining in her effort not to feed it. Her restraint was the sensation of a clenched jaw and he recognized it too intimately, the word addict never far from his thoughts even now, and it was another reason to hate this. It occurred to him that maybe for him training ought to be less focused on the dealing and deflecting of damage, and more on grappling his own irrational panic into control. "Has he learned any new tricks to go with the new shape?" He made an agitated movement of his hand. "Let him stretch his legs." HP: 44/60 CHG: 3/3 DEF: 8

Different from Fiona, Z was excited and desired to snap more fear from the hunter. He complained for the little intake and urged Shu to collide him with Taym's shield. As a creature made of pure fear, fear was his essence. Alas, the petite Asian wasn't the type that get herself into fights often. During the trainee period, his happiest time was when she eagerly fought to be stronger. Even though they were life-long partners, until one of them fell, the beast worried that if he starved himself (no reason to), he might devour her alive one day. Z never restrain himself, Shu wasn't the hot chick that he hoped for, but she had been providing a constant source of fear veiled behind her bright smile, especially during night time. At the moment, he had no plan for a new hunter. Far from addicted, the beast merely wanted to prove his superiority over other weapons. Z got control over Shu mostly from her craving for power, when she allowed herself to fall into his arms, attacked as he wished. The more she trusted him and gave in, the more destructive the thrust. She didn't ask for a full manipulation over the beast, it was a give-and-take gamble all the time. "Z told me he was a giant beast of merely power, luckily I met him in the first few weeks of my hunter life" by him, she meant Jordan. "I expected something - smaller at first, but I love his color." Shu was smart for one time that she didn't tell she thought she would have found a human partner in the dark cove. < You have just saved your poor pity reputation, silly. And - I DON'T CHOOSE TO BE ******** PINK, DO YOU HEAR ME!> There we go. It was a tad weird not hearing the beast roaring in her mind, the morsel of thought that she enjoyed the torment created an alarm. "Hmm, not sure. I only had a few spars after he gained this shape.....Okay, I will try!" The amber eyes brightened up, the invisible tail behind her swirled in a happy agog sensation mixed with little tingling. To avoid any embarrassing accidents, she stirred the shaft from slow to fast, sensing the pull from the centrifugal force for the most appropriate moment to release. The sphere hit the shield like a bullet and bounced off, slumped to the ground. "I think the destiny of it changes." or it was the result of the powerful defense. She noticed the hunter diverted the topic from her question, but she understood everyone had something they didn't want to talk about. "Are you going for any christmas shopping? Will Deus have a christmas tree and party? How about last year's?" In Shu's concept, westerners love to celebrate big festivals like christmas so she had a very high expectation on that. "Will you exchange present with Miss. America?" She loved ships and even more ships of her friends. HP: 50/ 50 Dice: 2d10-6 DMG: 7 - 8 [defended] = 0

The question about America enacted a strange change in him, a vague loosening of tension. If Shu was shippy, Taym was certainly enough of a doting puppy towards America to give her plenty of ship fodder. Whereas Shu liked to chatter during her fights, it was obvious that Taym had trouble multitasking (typical man). In an effort to answer her rapidfire questions he shifted to a less wary stance, attention slipping away from the hammer--a little. "I'm sure there'll be a couple of people having some kind of shindig. America's planning something, I think, and I can't ******** imagine her not wanting a tree. I'm not a party person," he said drily. This was a man who'd spent most of his life from 13 to 24 hopping from one social gathering to the next, mostly for the purpose of riding a wave of alcohol and god-knows-what-else. The people had never been the point, and now that the other reasons were either less compelling or out of reach, his loathing of social gatherings was in full force. "I already got my Christmas shopping done, pretty much. For America and everyone else. I hope you've gotten a headstart, although it's a good way to blow a leave day if you haven't."

Whether she noticed the ease-up or not, Shu was happy of his answers. It was delightful to see traces of romance on twitter. Even more, of people she liked. Her long list of Christmas presents included both of them and since December, she started planning and collecting information secretly through silent observation and random trivial chats. That was, maybe the reason why she was assigned that Division. Her excitement echoed with that of Z's craving for collisions, clear clinks interwoven with another hefty clinks like bells of different sizes and shapes rang. Shu was glad Taym has decent defending skills, she had little chance to hurt him through accidental slips and swings. It struck her of the promo mission, one of her nightmares. It was the first and won't be the last, yet, it wasn't her worst memories. Like always, her emotions and thoughts changed as swift as the weather. " Ahhhhhh you're right, I have a long list, I'd better start arranging my time scheme, soon will be my leave!" As if to show she had been working hard on her list, she yawned and rubbed her eyes. " I hope people on your good list will love your presents. A Christmas party would be greattttt Miss America has an incredible talent when it comes to organizing big events," the round amber eyes sparkled with admiration. They were usually of a color close to bee honey, but gleamed with a brighter yellow tint when the girl was excited. " If she really wants a tree, can you tell her I want to help? Decorating, preparing foods or - or advertisinggggggg. ANYTHING!" The voice stained with thrill and stumbled with a taper but resumed a few seconds later. Both hands on the hammer unconsciously shook and the accessory rang like it was on a vibrating surface. " Party is fun, it'll be a good time to relax and have some good laughs." The peachy blush resulted from the amusement was thinly veiled. " I am looking forward to see snows, lay down on it and - make a snow angel! Where I grow up doesn't snow, I'm excited!" The yellow gleam inside her eyes ignited like candle flame, warm and bright. < He has good normal eyes, he can see pretty well you're ******** high up~> Shu seemed to perceived the beast put his arms behind his head lazily, leaned against a vertical surface and smirked.

"Better take that shopping trip somewhere chilly, then," he said, still a little lax, still a little less nervous than he was strictly accustomed to being in this situation. "It doesn't snow where I'm from either and thank ********' god for it. I hate the cold. Best part of this job is the weather," he added, eyeing the hammer appraisingly and half-distracted. "I'll let America know you're onboard though. I'm sure she'll be glad to hear it. I don't know much that could stand between her and a party." Besides Thanksgiving Day mission assignments, maybe. He felt a little sick. HP: 39/60 CHG: 3/3 DEF: 4 Meegane SORRY SO SLOW holiday lag X_x
