2nd Katti: [Action]

[upontheplains]

[So Lyn's had a strange time adjusting to Luceti.  On the good side, she found three of her friends almost immediately after arriving.

On the bad side, she's trapped, she's been told to expect unpleasantness from the Malnosso, and one of said friends has been kidnapped.

How does she intend to deal with the stress this brings on her?  Training!  She's out in a clearing away from general foot traffic, Mani Katti drawn, going through various battle stances.  Interrupt?  Challenge her?  Or just watch?  The choice is yours.]

Not bad.

[She finishes up her latest set, and then gives him an appreciative nod and smile.]

Thank you. I've been honing my skills for quite some time.

Yeah, I can tell you're a skilled swordsman -- er, swordswoman. So you been practicing as a past time or for actual battle?

[action]

[upontheplains.livejournal.com]

The latter. I've fought in war. It's been just a few months since it ended, but I don't intend to let my edge dull.

Your world was in a war too? Better to maintain your abilities rather than lose them, right?

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

Interesting.

I'd challenge you if there was the slightest chance you'd win.

[Her eyes narrow at that. Oh, if there's one thing Lyn doesn't like, it's having her fighting prowess questioned.]

Is that so? And what makes you so certain I don't have a chance?

[ooc: I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with her fandom. Does she have abilities, etc?]

[She smiles.]

Just a feeling.

[upontheplains.livejournal.com]

[OOC: She's a very skilled swordswoman, and her blade is enchanted well enough to harm anything up to a dragon, but that's about it.]

Do you get a lot of "feelings" like that?

[pileof-ashes.livejournal.com]

As a matter of fact, I do. And they're always correct.

[ooc: Rosalie has superhuman strength and speed. They've been halved, but they're still there.]

[He's just watching for now. That's very impressive swordplay.]

[upontheplains.livejournal.com]

[Having been part of a rag-tag but fairly close knit army, Lyn is pretty used to people watching her practice. The only sign that she knows anyone is even there is that she moves just slightly away from Minato, so as to insure a lack of accidental injury.]

[> You decide to wait until she pauses before saying anything.]

You're very good.

[upontheplains.livejournal.com]

[Having stopped momentarily in her movements, she has no problem turning to the newcomer and giving a welcoming smile.]

Thank you. It's a skill I try to keep up in.

[emp3thy]

Is it important where you're from?

[Eliwood's out and about in the village, as usual. Although he's still upset over what happened to Ninian, he realizes that he mustn't let himself fall into depression and stay cooped up in his room. He's a leader, and must set a proper example. Therefore, he's keeping up his usual schedule.

His eyes catch sight of Lyn's training, and so, he pauses, taking in the sight.]

[upontheplains.livejournal.com]

[Lyn, of course, knows Eliwood is there right away. This is hardly the first time he's come across her in the middle of training, and she knows he's not the type to get too close until she's ready to pause. When she reaches her next stopping point, she lowers the Mani Katti and smiles at him.]

Good afternoon, Eliwood. How are you feeling?

[fireandnobility.livejournal.com]

I'm starting to feel better. Thank you for asking, Lyndis. [Of course, that was a boldfaced lie. But Eliwood couldn't have his dear friends worrying about him while he wallows in self-pity.]

[upontheplains.livejournal.com]

[She folds her arms as she looks him over. He's good at smiling when he's down, but Lyn knows how to tell if he's faking, at least to a point.]

You look like you could use a distraction.

[fireandnobility.livejournal.com]

Do you have something in mind?

[o hai Lyn. Kairi's out wandering when she spots Lyndis training out near the edge of the village. SO, she stops to watch, staying quiet for the moment and just observing her]

[Action]

[upontheplains.livejournal.com]

[Kairi may notice Lyn stepping slightly away from the place where she's standing, though her movement patterns don't change at all other than that. Lyn can tell when people are coming closer to her, and she wants to avoid causing any harm while she trains.]

[Action]

[meteorical]

[Kairi just continues to watch, not wanting to say anything in case she throws Lyn off track. Besides she's pretty fascinated with just watching the other girl train]

[Action]

[upontheplains.livejournal.com]

[At last, the series of moves flows to a halt, and Lyn lowers the Mani Katti to her right side. Turning, she grins at her audience.] Hello there Kairi. Enjoy the show?

[Action]

[meteorical]

Very much so. You're good. I'm officially impressed.
