the gym - sunday morning - 7/13

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

Liir was rather pleased to be the first one to the gym today.

He put down his bag, settled his broom on top of it and left the prototype staff on the top of the pile as he'd need Ino there to test it out and let him tweak it properly. As he started in on his warm up, though, he promised himself they wouldn't get TOO sidetracked today.

He'd been a kitten last week, after all, and he had time to make up for.

[open for Liirish needs and gymish needs, and Ino of course]

He pointed to the ground.

"Put it down. Then hold your hand out, with a touch of chakra, and think a direction."

[intraspective]

Ino was totally not making a face at being told to put down the broom-that-was. Totally not. Except for how she was.

Still, sulkily, she put it down, held her hand out and gathered a small bit of chakra in her hand.

Right?

The staff lifted a couple of inches off the ground and turned right.

It was at this point that Liir decided that it was perfectly reasonable to jump into the air and give out a grand WHOOP! no matter how foolish he looked.

[intraspective]

Ino was, uh, more with the gaping at her hand and then at the broom-that-was.

And blinking. A lot.

Up and left!

And like a dutiful dog, the staff lifted up and to the left, lifting higher and higher until it was near level with her head.

Liir was actually dancing.

[intraspective]

Ino was... well, words had fled her, but total glee was bright in her eyes and her hand trembled as she kept a wee bit of chakra flowing to it.

Circle?

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

Slowly, the staff flew in a circle.

And Liir just watched.

[intraspective]

Ino glanced at him, eyes wide. "How high can it go right now?"

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"Right now," he admitted, "it'll only go a few feet from you before it's out of range. The final version should be as long as you're within eyecontact."

[intraspective]

"It can't brush the ceiling yet then, huh?" But she was beaming as she carefully directed the broom-that-was to go in a circle around her.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"Not yet, no.

"And it can go faster, as you like. Just tell it to."

[intraspective]

Well now.

That was totally a challenge.

Ino narrowed her eyes at the broom. Circle really, really fast.

And it did. And Ino was just going to be very very gleeful about this all.

He just sat down and leaned back.

He was quite happy to let her have her fun.

[intraspective]

Ino was... probably going to keep herself occupied with it for quite a while, really.

After a bit, and nearly forgetting that she had an audience, Ino was moving the broom-that-was around while she moved at the same time. And laughing, just for the fun of it all.

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

He flopped out on the ground with his arms behind his head and just watched.

It was good to see her happy.
