Welcome to Gaia! ::

Getting away from the courtyard, Fran hurriedly pulled Yukino towards somewhere, anywhere really. Somewhere without much people. They ended up behind some buildings into the woods that's fairly quiet. After that, Fran let go of Yukino's hand and turned towards her.

"Hello again! Right, that training assignment stuff! What do you wanna do with it?" asks Fran. She had an idea of it being a combat related training, as they were on an academy to train the best combatants against Grimm after all. "Whether it be a mock battle, a sprint race or a game of Scissors-paper-rock, I'll let you decide!"

After being dragged along by the young huntress-in-training Yukino was a bit dazed when they came to a stop. Shakily standing on her own and getting herself together she noticed they were in the woods. Pretty silent and very serene. She could could appreciate this. She rubbed her wrist a bit as it was sore from the other girls grip. She held her arms close to her chest for security as she tried to get a better look at her surroundings. Whilst her analyzing, Francheska's voice met her ears. "Oh! Hi!" she giggled as she smiled. She looked to the girl a bit confused. "I'm uncertain as to what you're talking about. My scroll simply said to find you. Nothing in specific as to what we were doing." She listed off some options as the Yukino began to weigh her options. "Hmmm. Well, though I am used to combat and this is a school to train hunters and huntresses... how about we do something softer just to break the ice?" she offered. "Rock, Paper, Scissors seems nice, but how about we just get to know each other?" she proposed.

Her eyes lit up as Francheska thought she had a good idea. Yukino took her left hand into her right at the small of her back. She smiled and listened to her closely. Yukino noticed how she swelled her chest with pride while stating her family and their trade. Yuki clapped her hands together not in a patronizing way, but in a way of appreciation of her and her family. "Painters! My, my! Such a noble trade. One that requires and eye for colors that complement each, both odd and normal and attention to detail a common person would overlook! A highly respectable and and much needed trade. And by the way you stand so proudly I can't help, but to ask..." she remembered she said she was a runaway "...what's your favorite color that you've ever seen used?" she asked. Francheska's gestured was received and she tipped back and forth from her heels to the balls of her feet. "Well, I'm from a small village of Faunus who have an outstanding relationship with humans. We often trade and teach each other many things." she explained. "Though there's one man amongst humans who must, absolutely, be mine! Anyone who gets in the way..." she took an internal breath "...I'll paint the walls with their blood and organs!" he inner self smiled wickedly. She looked into those crimson eyes and tilted her head. Her left ear twitched a bit once she asked, "Is there anything else you'd like to share with me?"

She laughed wryly at her answer. "Please forgive me! I'm not trying to be disrespectful. I simply should've guessed that it was your favorite color." she said waving off any type of harsh felling for Yuki due to her laughing. "Pink really suits you! Very cute!" she praised. "I've never thought of the color pink that way, but no that I'm taking a moment to mull it over. I guess you're right. A representation of not only ones love for themselves, but the love of another!" she stated as she began to blush. Her knees buckled and met as she swayed timidly back and forth. "The colors red and white blend together to make the only color that could express what 'Love' is and could ever be! A pleasing color to the eyes, but a hot feeling in one's body! The passionate fiery red displaying strength and ferocity mixing with the cleansing pure palette of white to create the ultimate experience![/color]" she swooned. "Two entirely different colors mixing together into something so beautiful! Like a Faunas and a Human. Two opposites. Enemies by nature almost Though, when combined... they make something so perfect!" she thought as he clutched at her chest. She slowly became aware of her surroundings and noticed she was accompanied by someone. "Oh! I'm sorry, Francheska! Once I think about love my mind goes off on its own journey. Please forgive me!" she bowed. "So you really love fluffy things? I enjoy them too! Kinda had to since I have this tail." she said as she swayed it back and forth. Fran wanted to talk about skill and weapons and she was happy to oblige. She witness her short sword. "Wakizashi? Does it mean anything. Like, translated?" she asked. She examined the blade in all its prestige. "You made this? That quite amazing!" she praised. She reached behind her back and whipped out her double headed axe. "This is Nightingale." she said. She held out the weapon to Fran. Blades sharpened down to the molecule with a glorious shine. The neck of the weapon was pitch black with a slight curve for comfort in the hand. The hilt of the weapon had a crosshatch pattern for a better grip in case her hands were ever sweaty or wet. "This little lady and I have been through thick and thin!" she said caressing the neck. "I find her beauty matches her lethality. A true femme fatale!" she smiled.

"Huh. Just a blade description. That's a bit of a let down." she pouted with puffed cheeks. "Anyway, it's a beautiful blade and I think it suits you!" Yuki cheerily said. Admiring her own weapon after her display she looked to Fran as she continued to caress the handle of the deadly axe. "I'm sure she's wondering how I can hold this. Much like everyone else." she smiled in her head. Yukino's ear twitched a bit at her fellow students description of a femme fatale. She wanted to comment how it sounds a bit...sexual, but maybe she was just imagining things. "Hmm. I never thought of it that way, but I guess that could work as well." she said with her pointer finger to her lip pondering. "What should we do? Well...." she clapped her hands excitedly "....we can have a bit of a spar. There's nothing like getting to know one another like a good battle!" she said as she pumped her arms making her bust bounce a bit. She put a few paces distance between her and Fran. "You would like to do it here? Or is there another area you know of?" she asked getting into her stance.

"It's funny that you say that...." the faunus girl began "....because I was going to say the same thing." she giggled. She flipped and rotated her Nightingale in her hand a few times before letting the blades fall into the ground. Grass split revealing the ground beneath. Walking towards Fran, who was in a defensive position, she dragged her weapon leaving a large laceration in her wake. Half-lidded eyes dreamily stared at the smaller girl. "This'll be fun. It'll be a nice warm up before I find Adam. Oh! How I can't wait to feel his hands against my flesh. His strong arms wrapped around my body in an embrace of combat!" she thought as she began to blush. She shook her head as she returned her attention to the task at hand. With heavy breathing, from her recent thoughts, she looked back to Fran. She was still nearing her subconsciously and shortened the distance considerably. "This is more than enough." she smiled. With great speed she swung her axe downward making it look like she was going to cleave Fran down the middle, but it was just barely going to graze the fabric on her left arm. "Just a little test." she said in her head smiling.

She tilted her head satisfied that Fran jumped out of the way of her axe. She wasn't stupid and that made Yuki happy. Though she wasn't aiming to hit her it did her heart good to see Fran prioritized safety. "Ahh~ I'm so happy you aren't foolish." she smiled. She turned her head to Fran with those same droopy eyelids and removed her axe from the earth. She held onto her axe while holding it to her back exposing her front for an attack. "Burdened? Hmm. No I can't say that I am. Once you train with a weapon long enough then you get used to it." she explained. To further her point she began tossing it and flipping in several motions and catching it with ease. Even without looking and completely confident in her handling.She caught it and closed the gap as did Fran. Faster than Yuki was expecting, Fran released a sequence of attacks alarmingly fast. "Oh my! A quick one, huh?" she smiled with a bead of sweat trailing down the side of her face. Yuki tried her best to deflect and block the small blade. She found it difficult keeping up. So much so a few of the slashes found their way to her uniform tattering it a bit. At the last second she saw Fran aiming for her arm-wielding hand. With her right hand she released the axe to catch it with her left and swing it horizontally. To her chagrin, Fran had dodged her strike by preemptively jumping out of danger. "You're good, Fran!" she praised. Her eyes followed her stance and saw that she was readying another strike. "I thought you'd be tired from that onslaught, but I guess you can keep going." she slightly jumped and clapped multiple times. "Yay!" she smiled. She finished her small celebration and got into a low defensive stance with her axe raised just above her shoulder. Similar to a baseball stance, but her left hand was hovering slightly in front of her at chest height open to act as a poor shield for her open front.

Yuki carefully watched her opponent looking for any sudden moves. She listened intently. "Tired, huh? Yeah. Maybe we should stop and get something to eat." she suggested. "I might get a chance to see him!" she thought excitedly. Yukino brought her mind back to the fight before she drifted too far. Good thing, too. Fran launched her sword at her incredibly fast. She ducked the blade performing and split and resting her chin on the wrist of a clasped right hand. She saw a few strands fall to the ground and whistle. "Wow. That would've really hurt." she said playing with strands on the ground. Yukino jumped up on time for Fran to launch another attack, but this time behind her. "Whoa!" she exclaimed as she used the handle of her axe to stop the blade. "Wow! You just as fast as me. If not then faster." she smiled. She used force to push Fran and her blade away. She lets out a breath and smiles as she claps her hands. "Well, Ok! I think that's enough. Don't want either of us tiring out on our first day here." she giggled. How about we get something to eat?" she asked leaning forward and balancing on the balls of her feet.
