Camp Gym; Tuesday Morning.

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

Setsuna was in the gym, working on her forms and attacks with the wooden practise sword.

Everyone in camp just died of surprise, to be sure. But she'd really enjoyed battling in class, and she made a note that she really should actually thank Deadpool (it felt strange having those words in such close proximity together) for the recognition he'd given her. It actually...meant a lot. And stuff...

Ami was here. Practicing. The things that were on her level.

Spotting the other girl in her peripheral vision, Setsuna smiled slightly, finishing up her complex twirl-and-flip-and-slash almost-too-pretty-to-be-practical technique in a low crouch. She held the pose for a moment, re-establishing her centre, and then stood. She waited for a good break in Ami's own work before greeting her. //"Want to work together today?"// she offered.

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

//"Always."// Ami said smiling. Working together was always more fun. Let alone the fact that well, doing anything with Setsuna was more fun...

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

//"Great,"// Setsuna gave her practise sword a twirl to adjust her grip. //"Anything in particular?"//

And, since she was in a fairly good mood this morning, she added, //"Should we work on our very-important poses?"//

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

That last caused Ami to giggle. //"I am sure they are needed. As for what to work on... you are the one who knows what she is doing. What do you think?"//

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

Still smiling a bit because, really, poses would never cease to amuse her, Setsuna's head tilted a little as she considered it. //"Well..."// She thought about Ami's fighting class, and the conversations about it she'd had with Alphonse and Tori. //"I know you missed last week, but what was it again you worked on in your fighting class the week before? Maybe we can work on something that will help you improve for next time?"//

//"We had this monster attack the week before and we had to defeat it..."//

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

Setsuna nodded a little. //"Describe the monster? How did it attack and move?"//

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

//"It had this mask. If i could only break the mask i would have defeated it. It jumped on top of me, knocked me over."// Ami moved imitating the monster that the mun fails to remember the movements of

How convenient that this mun was the monster *snort*

Setsuna nodded, thoughtfully trying to consider how she might adapt her own attacks and movements to sort of correspond with what Ami had difficulty with. Reaching a conclusion, she gave a nod. //"Are you still feeling reluctance to spar with another person?"// she asked, although, really, even if Ami remained on the defensive, they could still get some work done.

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

indeed

//"I really need to get over that... lets try it?"//

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

Setsuna nodded, glad to hear Ami recognize that, and settled into a ready position with her practise sword poised over her shoulder. She centered herself lower than usual, out of vague imitation of the monster Ami described. //"Let's. When you're ready, Ami-chan...."//

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

//"I am ready..."// Ami wasn't sure if Setsuna expected her to try and attack or something.

As planned, Alphonse went to first go find Setsuna in the one place he was sure he'd find her at. And he did, as it didn't take very long for him to spot her working on her forms. "Hey, Setsuna!" he called out whenever the time looked right.

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

Setsuna lowered her practise sword slightly and glanced over her shoulder at the sound of her name being called. And then almost dropped the practise sword.

"Oh! Alphonse! Hey..." How the hell did she forget that they were sparring today?

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

Alphonse lifted up his hand with a slight wave. "Getting in a little practice time?"

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, well, you know me..." Setsuna said a little bashfully as she tried to cover up the fact that she had forgotten. "Plus, hadn't we planned a spar or something today?" That totally sounded convincing...oh yeah.

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

"That's why I'm here," Alphonse replied.

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

"Right," Setsuna chuckled a little, still a little pink at the cheeks. "Well, should we get started, then? Do you have a preference of weapons over hand-to-hand?"

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

"I'm no good with weapons," Alphonse said. "I've never trained with them before. Hand-to-hand is what I'm best with."

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

"All the more reason for me to push for weapons, then," Setsuna offered with a smirk as she tossed the practise sword to her other hand, twirled it a little, and then turned to set it back the rack.

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

"Hey now," Alphonse began to mock-scold, pointing a finger. "That wouldn't be fair."

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

Before turning around, Setsuna had to take a moment with her head ducked to get the ridiculous smile on her face under control a little. "Well," she said once she'd finally taken care of that, to a degree, "for the sake of fairness. .." She shook out her wrists a little and settled into a ready position. "Shall we get right to it, then?"

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

Alphonse kicked off his shoes and tossed his coat aside next to them, stretching out his arms as he got back to the mat. "Okay." He got himself positioned. "Let's start."

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

As Alphonse settled into his positioning, Setsuna gave a nod, with a small, affirming sound. She took a second to centre herself, gather her chi, place her opponent in her mind. She drew in a breath.

Setsuna sprang forward, rushing across the mat for Alphonse, with a punch toward his face. Fully expecting him to block it without a problem, she also prepared a low kick on the same side for his lower leg.
