Twelth Strike - [Action]

[not_klonoa]

[It's been a long time since Presea returned from her kidnapping, in a rather poor condition. She'd been resting, and recovering for a long time, her Cruxis Crystal having taken a great deal of time to fix itself. But now, the girl has finally awakened, but not without her "recovery" having taken a toll on her body

[Well, if in order to get at those trees, Presea is near the edge of the forest, Ginko might come across her. And ask himself several questions. Questions like,

......why is there a small girl with a large axe?

What is that crystalline growth?

More importantly, what is she going to do with the axe?

So he'll stare and follow a few paces.]

[not_klonoa]

[She sees you there, Ginko, but doesn't really note your presence much. She just continues on her way. And need you really ask yourself that last question? What do most people with axes go into a forest to do?

Presea hears the footsteps behind her and would frown if she had the heart to, but only goes on. Keep your distance man, she's on high alert now, and knows how to swing that axe around like a pro. For now, though, she's just looking around at the different trees with an expressionless face.]

[Murder. Ornamentation.

He wouldn't put any shade of crazy past a citizen of Luceti.

But for now, he'll just baaaarely keep his distance-- not that the man has the slightest feel of threat about him. If it were possible to bowl your enemies over with zen the way swordsman whip around their fighting spirits, Ginko would fall into that category.

And his face isn't quite so expressionless. It's more of a "oh please tell me you're not here to commit wanton natural destruction" sort of look. Shortly followed by a ]

Oi.

[...Not today. Today, Presea just intends to cut down a tree.

Presea can feel his presence, but because of the low threat he poses, she doesn't attack. Yet. Just make sure you stay out of striking distance, Ginko. She's still on guard, just in case, and isn't very trusting. Presea turns when she;s addressed, but doesn't say anything. She's just giving him her usual, dull, emotionless face. Yes?]

[Oh, you are not a very normal child, are you?]

Hnn. [inclines his head towards to axe] What are you planning to do with that?

[not_klonoa]

[Presea glances to where he was and shifts the large and heavy object onto her other shoulder, moving it as if it were a mere toy and not five times her weight, and then some.]

Job... Retrieve sacred wood.

[one_green_eye]

[He notes that indeed, and it does nothing to curb his curiosity.]

...sacred...wood? Someone gave you that job?

[not_klonoa]

Correct. [She's so talkative, really.] ...Excuse me.

[And Presea will then try to move around Ginko, to make for the tree line again and find the towering trees she usually fells for sacred wood.]
