eleventh breath ✧ action

[causeblocked]

[It's sometime after he's gotten back from the usual friday morning session at the dojo, and it's pouring down rain outside. Therefore, the logical place for Isamu to be is indoors, maybe reading a book. This, however, is not the case

[Sanji looks on.

From a tree.

That's right; tree!Sanji is watching and wondering what the hell Isamu is on, but doesn't announce his presence yet]

[Isamu doesn't notice him.

After one particular attempt, however, there is what appears to be a very faint light spreading out from Isamu's fingers. For just a moment, the rain seems to hit something there and slide away.

The teen looks momentarily triumphant, right until he finds himself on his knees, dizzy.]

[oda_hates_me]

Huh. Interesting. [exhales a stream of smoke and raises his voice so Isamu can hear him]

Nice trick.

[ohgodtree!Sanjiiswatchingme Isamu's head jerks up as he searches for the source of the voice. Finally catching sight of Sanji, he frowns, getting back to his feet.

He brushes a bit of mud off the knees of his pants, not that this helps much when he's completely soaked.]

You always make a habit of spying from trees?

[oda_hates_me]

No, you're just special. [leans back against the trunk again]

You looked so determined I didn't want to break your shitty concentration.

[Action]

[causeblocked]

Oh, is that right? I'm flattered. Really.

[It's not easy to just go back to what he's doing now that the pirate is watching him.] There something you wanted, or did I just pick a bad spot?

[considers that... then stands up]

Gonna share what that was? Didn't look like filial magic. [unless maybe it was Sona's power]

[He smiles knowingly.] That's where you're wrong!

If only one of the spirits here is gonna listen to me, then I'm gonna do the best I can with what I have to work with.

[looks visibly surprised]

... Nala-chan?

Think about it, man! Healing, protecting, it's all along the same line of thought, right? I mean, when I -- [He stops, catching himself as he realizes what he was about to say. There were only two people in Luceti that even knew he could actually heal others. That wasn't something he'd been meaning to spread around.] ...When someone heals, they can do things like remove poisons - expel the nasty shit.

I've worked with shields before. Thought it might be worth a shot.

[Sanji will just file that slip-up away for later and continues on. He's gotta admit, that's an impressive line of thought]

Not bad. How strong do you think you can make it?

[Action]

[causeblocked]

Well, that depends. [He frowns, glaring upwards.] I don't think it's too keen on keeping out the elements. I'm hoping that won't be the case with something purely physical.

[Action]

[oda_hates_me]

[Seeing as this is totally relevant to his interests...]

If you need someone to practice against, I'm pretty sure a kick counts as "purely physical".

[Action]

[causeblocked]

[Raising an eyebrow.] Dude, you were crushing rocks with those feet. I don't think I'm that durable yet.

[Action]

[oda_hates_me]

Lucky you don't look like a shitty rock to me.

I can hold back.

You wanted to try this, like... right now? I'm not sure how much control I'll be able to manage.
