012 [Audio]

[The feed opens to the snickering of a Haunter, before the sounds of flesh on flesh start up. Is Lightning sparring with Leon again? Probably---that's not Leon. That's Ven. Ven groaning and grunting in pain, actually.]

Spread your legs, Ven. [Another momentary pause, and Lightning sighs.] Wider. You need to be able to---good. Keep them like that

[ there's actually a really long pause here, followed by a... whicker that is most definitely not Rise. But then the girl herself speaks up, with a hint of amusement. ]

Beating him up?

[audio]

[soggypastry]

[Rise what was that noise]

Teaching him how not to get knocked over.

[audio]

[restardom]

[ just a new friend, big sis. ]

Aww, Light, you're leaving me out?

[audio]

[soggypastry]

[Well. So long as that new friend doesn't try to hurt you...]

You're welcome to come down for lessons, but you'll probably end up the same way.

[audio]

[restardom]

[ nope, she's perfectly docile! ]

If it's about putting my legs further apart, you don't have to worry about that. I'll be right there!

[audio]

[soggypastry]

[Good to know.

And, being that she knows what else spreading your legs can mean, Light'll make a face; can you hear the frown in her voice, Rise?] East side of town. We'll be here for a while.

[audio ---> action]

[restardom]

[ NOT FOR THAT, LIGHT, NOT FOR THAT. She'll explain soon enough, but she fires off a cheery "See you soon!" before she disconnects.

And sure enough, there'll soon be an idol trotting in that direction with a Ponyta in tow - apparently not willing to let her out of her sight - and waving a hand over her head. ]

[action]

[soggypastry]

[THAT IS ALSO VERY GOOD TO KNOW.

Light'll just look over at Rise as she comes trotting this way, and she'll blink when she sees that Ponyta. Then she smiles faintly; Odin is going to be a little jealous now.]

[action]

[restardom]

[ Rise comes to a halt and salutes neatly, though the effect is kind of ruined when the Ponyta can't slow herself in time and runs into her back. ]

Present and accounted for, ma'am!

[action]

[soggypastry]

[Well, this isn't exactly a military situation, so Light'll excuse that ruined salute. Rise tried, anyway.]

Good. We'll start with stretches first, then move onto bracing yourself.

[action]

[restardom]

Got it-- hey, you need to back up a little. [ give her a minute to convince the Ponyta to step back. ]

[action]

[soggypastry]

[Oh, she'll give Rise all the time she wants. And since Odin is still tucked in his ball, he won't get in her face either.]

Who's your friend?

[action]

[restardom]

My White Day present! She's from Merlin. [ finally stepping away. ]

[action]

[soggypastry]

[White Day...wat dat? She'll just watch the Ponyta and nod, making sure Rise can manage the stretching without falling over.]

This isn't going to be easy, Rise. You can still back out.

[action]

[restardom]

[ this one's been stretching nearly every day since she showed up in Johto. An idol's got to be limber, so she's doing just fine with this portion. But her expression sobers when she straightens back up. ]

I know that.

... But I'm not going to run anymore. I'm hanging in there, no matter what.

[action]

[soggypastry]

[Lightning gives Rise a hard look, but it's not an unkind one. It's one that takes stock of a student before kicking their ass.]

Okay. [She'll come to stand beside Rise now, one leg back and the other forward, with her knees bent slightly and her back curved.] We'll start with balancing your weight. Stand like this first.
