:019 | Accidental Voice + Action

[galddigger]

[You know how the journals have that uncanny ability to switch on at the most inopportune times? This is one of those times. When it starts recording, Anise's voice is faded - as if the journal's facing away or perhaps hurriedly being stuffed into a bag.]

Hey, Ion! I'm gonna go down to the barracks today! Tokunaga isn't fixed yet, and I should

[Kratos is actually in the barracks, having decided to do some training himself. He expects to be by himself by this time of day, so he narrows his eyes a bit in mild surprise as he turns to see who's at the door. He's already got training dummies set up around the area, so feel free to invade his space and steal his equipment.]

[galddigger]

[Normally, Anise would at least be nice enough to ask permission before frying some of those training dummies. But as it is, she goes ahead and invades Kratos' space and steals them right in front of him.]

[Action]

[Space invaded! This earns a raised eyebrow as Kratos takes a step back, allowing her to take the training dummies. It seems as if she's venting more than fighting, and so, after watching for a moment, Kratos sighs, then sheathes his sword.]

Are you all right?

[Glances up at the tall guy, blinks, and frowns a little. She's doesn't seem to be in the mood to talk.]

... I'm not supposed to talk to strangers.

[Action]

[salvationfound]

... I believe children also aren't supposed to take what isn't theirs.

[He gives a light gesture to the dummies at that. Of course, the dummies aren't his, but he did lay claim to them for this session.]

[Action]

[galddigger]

... Right. Sorry. [She scowls briefly, and looks away.]

... Can I borrow some, then?

[Action]

[salvationfound]

Yes, you may. [With a nod, he goes to the left side of the area, where some of the dummies are. Anise can take the right side, though Kratos will keep an eye on her. It could just be a childish fit that's bothering her, or something deeper... Either way, he'd like to find out.]

[Action]

[galddigger]

Thanks.

[She lugs a few dummies that are a couple of inches taller than her over to her side, going slower than she would've liked because they're sort of bigger than her. Still, that doesn't seem to bother her too much, since once she's got them set up, she takes a few steps back and takes a breath - ]

O twisted door of distortion, open wide... Negative Gate!

[Action]

[salvationfound]

[Slowly, Kratos slides his sword from its scabbard and begins a few practice swings. This isn't nearly as good as sparring with a real person, but it'll do. Upon hearing her attack, Kratos glances over in time to see the dummy get knocked to and fro by it. Impressive, coming from a girl her age... Then again, Genis is just as capable.]

[Action]

[galddigger]

[Genis is probably even better D: As impressive as Kratos thinks it is, Anise doesn't seem to think so. She frowns at the dummy, clearly unsatisfied, and starts another arte.]
