[After beingtakenhome, sleeping until the afternoon of the 12th, and then staying relatively somber and quiet until the morning of the 13th

[Forest you say? Well, then, Sanji might hear some rather loud crashes and whams from a fair enough distance away. Somewhat like a fight, but...not. Just like a large and heavy object meeting another large and heavy object.
If he chooses to inquire, the chef will see a somewhat familiar figure with two puffy, pink pigtails swinging an enormous jade axe around at about five or so boulder placed in an open field. Presea's practicing with her newly found Gaia Cleaver and though she shows nothing physically, her attacks are smooth and languid...not to mention destructive. Those rocks are definitely getting pounded on. Big time.
At least she looks like she's enjoying herself. ...Maybe.]
[Very few things sound that destructive in the forest. Sanji's not worried, just wary and curious as to what the hell is going on. What shithead is causing trouble now?
Oh, it's just Presea! |D ... Presea... with a big-ass axe cutting into rock like it's jello.
..... Yeah, even Sanji wouldn't want to get hit with that thing.
Something in the back of his mind itches, but he closes his eyes and tells it to shut up before approaching a tiny bit closer]
[Mmm, rock jello. Thankfully, Presea can hear Sanji approach even with the deafening sounds of rock grinding and crumbling away, so he isn't on the receiving end of that impressive blade. After crying out her attack's name, so fittingly called "Destruction", and watching rock fall away from her target's, Presea drops her axe to look Sanji in the eye.]
[She sweeps the area clean of the rubble with her foot, nudging the pieces away, before picking up her weapon again. Gripping the handle in both hand she swings herself around in a full circle. Once, twice, three times.
[8| DIS MAN. For a moment, Presea considers not answering, but...i was a valid question. Dropping her axe for the second time, Presea stops her training to actually converse properly.
[Yes, all by her self. And she has to get through a haunted, maze-like, monster infested forest every day just to get to Meltokio to do her job. Good thing she didn't convey this information.]
[He's not actually that interested in knowing what the sacred wood is used for. He just likes getting Presea to talk every now and then - figures the girl would go without speaking all day if she could.]
[Try roughly ten years. Presea stares at Sanji after he speaks, then looks down at her axe. It wasn't the one she used to cut wood obviously, but it was still an axe, and she had memories associated with them. And he just had to say that word. Her tone gets softer, perhaps the only indication of some kind of emotion she's possibly held onto during her ordeal.]
[That's not good enough. She has to go home now. Daddy is sick! And Alicia is working far away. If Presea's not there to take care of her father, then...
She turns her back on Sanji, grips the handle of her axe, and begins swinging it again, with a bit more ferocity.]
[The next attack she does is quick and nimble. Presea holds the axe in both hands, jumping up and spinning. The axe's blade is swung upwards in a flash, making a silvery arc of light, much like a crescent moon. The attack's name is uttered a second before--]
Infliction! [She ignores Sanji's presence entirely, kicking the gravel away, and does the same arte again, only this time, when she turns in midair, Presea swings her axe upward again and makes the same arc of silvery light, rising a little higher before landing amongst the fallen stone.] ...Why are you here?

Any reason you prefer an axe?

And what is your job, if you don't mind me asking?

For as long as she deems fit.]
...Cutting sacred wood in Meltokio.

If the wood's sacred, must be needed for a special purpose.

Yes.

Your family must be proud.

He won't say anything else for a while. Just watch her.]

[And bothering me. B|]

For once, though, Sanji has good cause to flee the scene. He's dwadled long enough.]
No reason, Presea-chan. [He smiles knowing he won't receive on back, but doing it all the same] I'll leave you to your training.
