When Tortali had expressed that she wanted to go out more, Aventine was all for it. She hadn’t exactly felt the itch after the battle on the hill, but when they’d spoken about it she considered how out of shape and out of touch she was. She’d spent a while just living her life, taking care of things. It was easy to forget about the ‘big picture’ when you didn’t power up for a while.
The longer she was away from things, the more they changed.
She wanted Tortali to be safe. She wanted to be safe.
So, it made sense that when they powered up, they’d wind up sparring a bit.
The patrol for the evening had been fairly peaceful, much to her surprise–no Chaos, no aliens. They were on a hill, just on the outskirts of Destiny City.
Far away from the last fight they’d gotten dragged into, but she gave it a bit of extra scrutiny to make sure there were no aliens or bombs hiding around.
She let her hand drop from Tortali’s when she finished looking around. “This looks like a good place, yeah? Lot of space. Lot of privacy, too.”

Tortali was always pleased to spend time with Anella—with Aventine. The fact that they were up on a hill, like the one where the battle happened had the senshi shivering just a little in memory of what had gone on before. That was why they were here though. That was why they were going to train. They would get stronger so such a thing couldn’t happen again. So that neither of them would fall to chaos.
“You literally can’t say something like that, Ave. you can’t comment that it’s private or I’ll start just focusing on kissing you instead of pretending to try to kick your a**!” She laughed richly and nudged the Knight. “Use your spell on me, that’s perfect and then I can kiss you and we can call it training!”
It sounded like the very best option, all things considered.

"I can say anything I like," Aventine countered pleasantly. "But you can't kiss me unless you plan on using that for a battle tactic. Which," she looked at the Senshi for a moment, "I would be okay with. Just in case you ever wind up in a battle and you need to disorient your opponent. It's not cheating if your life is on the line. Just so we're clear."
She squeezed Tortali's shoulder. "I'm not the one who needs to practice my magic, though! Do you even remember what yours is?"
She laughed and trotted off a few yards. "Do you remember how to aim? I bet you're rusty. I bet you can't even catch me!"

Tortali gave a soft groan and sighed. “So wait, wait. You’re going to actually make me work for this work out? How is that even fair, Aventine? You should be flirting with me and helping us both ease into this! It should be painless, not me chasing you!” She did though, laughing. Finally she managed to get close enough to use her magic, even though…the idea of making Aventine hold a grudge…was unpleasant. Hopefully it would miss and then they could just use Aventine’s powers and kiss and forget this whole thing happened…if the magic hit though…
At least Ave was dead sexy when she was mad, so long as the anger wasn’t directed towards Tortali…when that happened…
Big oof.
Best to just stick with her basic attack…it was easier and wouldn’t last as long…
“Simple Grudge!”

“Oh, you do remember,” Aventine said, but that was really all the time she had before the magic began to sink in. She rubbed at one arm and squirmed briefly before the grudge started picking up strength. There were a dozen faces that flashed in front of her eyes, a hundred little misgivings.
“Oh! I forgot how much I hated this! Don’t look at me, Tortali. I don’t want to get mad at you. Ugh!”
She stomped her foot into the ground, really dug her toe into it.
“It’s wild! I should have tried to dodge! I was too busy looking at your lips.”
She drew in a deep, calming breath, like she was desperate to clear her mind from the negative thoughts. At the very least she could try to overcome it!
…It wasn’t working so well, she felt so angry! So betrayed. Oh, this magic needed to end soon, she wanted to go back to staring at Tortali’s lips.

“Of course I remember! I told you, I’ve snuck out a few times and did some damage to those assholes who I could damage.” Tortali grinned and moved to wrap her arms around Aventine’s shoulders. “It’ll pass soon, honey. Don’t worry. And you know that you’re always more than welcome to look at my lips whenever you want to.”
Placing a kiss on the Knight’s neck, she sighed, squeezing her.
“We’ll get the hang of things again. We’ll kick their asses. You’re super strong, and I’m pretty damn scrappy so…we’ll get there. We’ll get there…and we’ll do something. Make a difference. Maybe. Hopefully.”
She wanted to. Especially after all the s**t that had gone down…
Tortali felt that she had to.
“Do you wanna just forget the rest of the fighting and go get ice cream? Or cocoa? Or just go home so you can gaze at my luscious, plump lips for a bit?” She waggled her brows and grinned impishly.

Aventine still wanted to stomp and whine, and she felt a very distinct urge to just complain about every little inconvenience–and everyone who had put her through it–except she could already feel the effects fading.
Or maybe Tortali was just more distracting than her magic.
“No,” she huffed. “Is that a trap? Of course I’d rather go get ice cream and cocoa and–well, do a little more than just look at your lips if we’re being honest. But one of us has to be responsible! So we’re going to get some training out of this no matter what. So–I’ll race you to the bottom of the hill first, and whoever gets their last has to pay. Deal?”

“Well, I mean I guess!” She would agree to it, And she would lose. Tortali already planned on jumping onto Aventine’s back and making her do all of the work of taking them down the hill, it seemed like a fair trade off, at any rate.
“I’m ready when you are, lovely!” She grinned and began running, setting a false trap for Aventine so that she could jump on her when the right moment came.
Perhaps training could be fun after all.
