[VIDEO]

[No Nozomi today. The video comes on to a very face. Coeus is no longer a floating bubble butt baby, but look! He has nubs for arms! He wags them to illustrate. He is one step closer to being able to help out more in the shop! Maybe soon he'll be able to put things away, you know, with hands and arms! How cool would that be?

He's even convinced his human to teach him how to write! So cool!]

Coeus, what are you doing?

[Nozomi's voice chimes in from off-screen. Whoops! He's not supposed to be using this, eep! Feed off!]


[ACTION]

[With the recent goings on between the raiders of Citadel, and the appearance of a God, Nozomi is feeling just a bit inadequate. It made since that Eri would show both her and Maki up in a fight--she was a trained fighter, after all--but it bothered her that she could not defend herself, let alone the other person with them.

So, during the week after the attack, Etteilla will be closed. Nozomi and any number of her pokemon can be found outside of Union, training. It seems that Nozomi has picked up a staff and is attempting to learn how to use it, to varying success.

When not trying to beat whatever it is she's trying to fight to a pulp, she can be seen sitting and meditating.]

[galddigging]

Yeah, your stance is way too wide. You're gonna slip.

[Rutee unsheathes Atwight, only shivering a little at the ghost's feeling in her hand, before demonstrating. Rutee's left handed, but Nozomi should get the idea a little more?]

[future_sight]

[Nozomi watches, then tries to mimic the way Rutee is standing.]

whoops wrong icon

[galddigging]

That's better. Now try your swing again, it'll feel more natural.

[She swings the staff a few times, posture and movements a bit stiff. It's fairly obvious that she isn't used to wielding a weapon.]

[galddigging]

Why're you trying to learn anyway?

[Rutee re sheathes her Pokemon and settles her hands on her hips.]

You owe someone money? Get into a fight?

[future_sight]

[Nozomi frowns a little.]

I have my reasons.

[galddigging]

I'm not trying to learn your life story! I just thought you might give me a break for helping you out.

[She shrugs.]

It's not often I offer my services free of charge!

[future_sight]

[That's good, because she wasn't really intending on paying...]

Ahh... Thank you?

[galddigging]

A girl putting up a fight for a cause is enough of a reason for me.

[Rutee crosses her arms.]

Just this once. Some of us have to make a living.

[future_sight]

[If by cause she means not getting her butt kicked the next time she walks out of the city, then sure. Even still, sell swords made her uncomfortable.]

Okay. I'll make it up to you, then.

[galddigging]

Make sure it's with something shiny.

[She grins, but she miiight be being serious.]

I'm Rutee, by the way.

[future_sight]

[Something shiny?]

I'm Nozomi. Nice to meet you.

[galddigging]

Nice to meet you. I always like seeing other people out here, exploring is lonely some of the time.

[future_sight]

Oh? I don't really go out here myself, I just assumed no one came this way.

[galddigging]

Really? I always come this way when I'm going to explore the mountains or plains.

[future_sight]

Oh. I guess I shouldn't make assumptions, then.

[galddigging]

Assumptions? What kind of assumption did you make about me?

[future_sight]

[OOC: /puts this here]

I'm a good judge of character.

[galddigging]

Oh really? How good, huh?

[future_sight]

I can tell you're a pretty guarded person, and that you would rather just look out for yourself. But you're still generally well-meaning.
