[ The video opens with a small thump.The scene looks look a rooftop of some kind - various flat, white surfaces stretch in front of the pair of booted feet walking away from the NV. If the little square of white fabric in the corner of the screen says anything, it says that someone just dumped his NV on top of his jacket to get it out of the way ( Read more... )

[Action] Roughly 45 minutes into Grimmjow's practicing gamuzadeclares January 20 2011, 06:30:10 UTC

[Nelliel is dressed in human clothing rather than her Espada uniform when she shows up on the rooftop. She was at a dress fitting for the upcoming formal event she's expected to attend at the end of the month and only got home in the past few minutes. Grimmjow's presence on the roof prompts her to check on him. It seems that he's still sore, but overall doing much better than he was.

She's silent when she gets up onto the rooftop and makes no effort to approach. She's not trying to interrupt, and it's better to avoid startling any of the Espada.]

[ He may have been able to sense her approach, but it's still nice to have someone actually give him his space without interrupting. He continues for a few minutes more before gradually slowing, then stopping altogether.

He's not sweating or breathing hard, of course, but he continues to rotate his left arm, a faint scowl on his face. ]

What'd you think? [ Of his practicing, he means. ]

[Action] gamuzadeclares January 21 2011, 05:59:06 UTC

It seems you're recovering quite well. I can tell your injuries are still affecting your movements a little, but I don't think they will for much longer.

[She sounds somewhat relieved. It's both for Grimmjow's sake, and for the sake of everyone who calls Nueva Las Noches their home. With several captain class shinigami in Siren's Port, it would be foolish to get too casual.]

[Action] grimmjerk January 22 2011, 03:13:50 UTC

Gimme another week. I'll be back in shape by then.

[ He glances over at her, brows lifting at the sight of her clothes. ] ...working again?

[Action] gamuzadeclares January 22 2011, 04:08:17 UTC

I have no doubt that you will. Would you like someone to practice with for a little bit?

[She nods in response to his question.]

There's a formal event the company's co-hosting with an affiliate company. Everyone who works there is expected to show up. I was getting fitted for a dress for the event.

[Action] grimmjerk January 22 2011, 05:28:17 UTC

You in a dress. [ A real dress. A human dress.

It's kind of hard to imagine. ] Yeah, sure. You any good with hand-to-hand?

[Action] gamuzadeclares January 22 2011, 06:05:19 UTC

[She chuckles softly at the reaction.]

Stranger things have happened. It's a nice dress, but it's not something I could or would wear on a regular basis.

[She nods.]

I am. I prefer it, actually.

[Action] grimmjerk January 22 2011, 07:43:44 UTC

I'll believe it when I see it. [ ...which means he'd be open to viewing this dress, if she actually came around with it on. ]

Alright. Show me.

[ He'll jump back several lengths away, letting a small amount of his reiatsu rumble to the surface. ]

[Action] gamuzadeclares January 22 2011, 07:54:20 UTC

I'll make sure to show you, then. Once they're finished with the final alterations.

[She assumes a fighting stance, fists up. She briefly looks down to where Grimmjow's NV has been recording him.]

Is that on?

[Action] grimmjerk January 23 2011, 03:15:45 UTC

...eh? [ A quick glance proves that yeah, it is. Irritation flickers on his face and he takes long enough to go over and turn it off. ]

Piece of shit thing...

[Action] gamuzadeclares January 23 2011, 05:11:57 UTC

At least you weren't doing anything embarrassing when it was on, and you weren't in the bath or shower. At worst you gave people a little show while you practiced.

[Nelliel has learned to look on the bright side now and then. She's ready to spar, but in order to be fair to Grimmjow she decides to make sure he's ready before she makes any moves. It's a friendly match to practice, not anything meant to aggravate his injuries. Still, taking it too easy on him is insulting.]

Ready?

[Action] grimmjerk January 24 2011, 05:06:39 UTC

... [ He's not sure what to think about the idea of showing himself naked to the populace at large.

Better not to think of it at all. ] Yeah, I'm ready.

[ Ready enough to make the first move, disappearing from view and reappearing to her left, leg already swinging forward in a kick. ]

[Action] gamuzadeclares January 24 2011, 21:48:46 UTC

[Nelliel has found that being able to look at how things could have been worse helps to put things in perspective. She is grateful that of all possible combinations of people who could have been under the influence of that strange plant that appeared briefly in Nueva Las Noches, it was the two most level headed residents and very little happened.]

All right.

[She's prepared for an attack as soon as he disappears. When the leg lashes toward her, she side steps and pivots on her foot toward him in a fluid motion, aiming a punch at the side of his abdomen. It's not a weak punch, but it's lighter than it could be - for now she wants to test how much force he can handle without making the injuries worse.]

[Action] grimmjerk January 25 2011, 08:44:38 UTC

[ ...he never, ever knew about any of that. And it's probably for the best that he continues to not know about any of it.

It's much, much simpler to focus on their movement instead. The whole process plays out in slow motion for him, and not just because of their reduced speed; he tries to anticipate, to guess where she'll be. He never got to have a go at the former Tercera before.

Inexperience and injury does make it hard to dodge and he blow lands, changing his trajectory and forcing him to twist and adjust for a landing - but the bandages and his slowly knitting wounds hold. He's kicking off again a second later, trying for a variation on the pattern he was practicing before: two left swings, then a right. ]

[Action] gamuzadeclares January 26 2011, 01:55:02 UTC

[Nelliel is unlikely to admit to what happened. Anything she mentioned at all about that day was related to odd behaviour she saw other people engaging in, and that strange berries were the source of the behaviour.

She concludes she used a good amount of force for their sparring match, although Grimmjow's combination forces her on the defensive. She backs up to evade the attacks, then disappears in a flash of motion, reappearing on his right side. She drops low and aims a sweeping kick at his ankles.]

[Action] grimmjerk January 27 2011, 05:36:18 UTC

[ It's a close call - how often is it that someone tries to trip him? - but he manages to jump in time, skipping any fancy airwalking because what's the fun in that?

It's a nice change of pace to keep it on the ground. He twists mid-jump, bringing his heel around for a kick aimed at the side of her skull. ]
