[Have a mini!Kohaku watching this from a safe distance. It may not be night, but she has learned to save her energy...]

[See Miyabi. See Miyabi fail. Fail, Miyabi, fail! She repeats the drawing of ink from the snowbank, and repeats dodging ice shards and heaps of snow being flung at her. The air is filled with squeaks and cries of shock, then a few frustrated growls and huffs.

She hasn't recognized your presence just yet, Kohaku.]

Come on, come on! I have to get it right for tomorrow!

[Kohaku doesn't know if she should interrupt someone who's concentrating so hard...because with all that flying ice, it's possible Kohaku might get hurt, and that'd be baaaad!

So, to be nice, she will be waiting 'till it's safe..]

[You may be waiting for a while, Kohaku. This painter is just as stubborn as an ox - which is, ironically, the god who rules over the Skill she was trying to master. You're better off approaching her before she begins to paint again. ...Kind of like now. She's taking a quick breather after dodging all that ice and snow.]

Nyeh...Gotta keep going! It won't work at all if I can't at least make a block of ice!

[Then she will! After the ice and snow go past! She'll carefully fly up behind her.]

Uhm...what are you trying to do??

1/2 - pfff icon fail. chiisaichou December 24 2009, 05:32:10 UTC
[And, this is Miyabi - leaping a good foot or two into the air from the voice that's suddenly behind her. And for a person that's only 3/4 of an inch tall, that's a feat to behold. Whirling around once she lands, rather ungracefully on her rear, she flails a little.]

N-Neh--Eh? O-Oh! I'm practicing my Brush Skills! I need to have Blizzard mastered just a little bit for tomorrow ni--

Wait, I thought I told no one to come looking for me.

[Well, Kohaku is only about a foot and a half tall, though she's floating, so it shouldn't be too awkward..]

O-oh I'm sorry! I was just curious!!

[Nah, the young painter's used to seeing Salt fly and float around, but you're double his size, Kohaku. You just startled her is all. Miyabi sighs, then sheaths her sword, tilting her head as she crosses her arms over her chest.]

It's all right...I just didn't want anyone getting hurt in case I messed up. Blizzard is a powerful Brush Skill that can freeze any target, and I'm not good at it at all...as you can see, heh~

[True, and seeing as Kohaku has never seen even an angel that small, she's staring juuust a little.]

Brush...skill?

[Ah, but Miyabi's not an angel! She's a Ponclet - a female Poncle. Though...with the glittering hummingbird wings on her back, it's easy to mistake the little glowing child for an angel.]

Yes! In my world, the thirteen animal gods of Nippon rule over a particular skill that was once used by the mother Goddess, Amaterasu's Celestial Brush. The one I'm practicing now is the ox god, Itegami's, brush skill! It's called Blizzard, and can freeze anything into solid ice!

[Boasting? No, never. Miyabi just likes telling people about her gods - it's her duty as a Poncle and Celestial Envoy in training to spread the word and instill faith in them from the people of her world.]

Thirteen Gods?? [Kohaku only know one god!! Life here is confusing...]

Correct~ The thirteen heavenly animal spirits that are marked upon the zodiac. But, unlike that, the cat god - Kabegami - is also included~ She rules over the Brush Skill Catwalk, which allows one to walk on walls if a cat statue is close by.

[Miyabi recites what she's learned, smiling pleasantly. We're not getting into the myth about how the cat was excluded on the Chinese calendar, Kohaku. You'll have to learn that for yourself. Or wait for Miyabi to be in a more storytelling mood.

Also, the little painter has no idea about your one god, what.]

But I have to practice the ox's skill right now, it's really important that I at least make a big block of ice by tomorrow night!
