Training Room

[anonymousryuuki]

As much as he would love tobe exploring the town, there was something else Ryuuki needed to do first.

Training.

He had been spending so much time lately learning all those (basic) skills an Airman needed, he hadn't really kept up with his training. He swept at his bangs with a wince. His teacher would kill Ryuuki if he ever found out.

He dropped into another ready stance, spurred on by the ambition to not be killed if he ever met his teacher again.

So this was the training room, huh? It looked like it saw more use than the one on the other ship Soma was on. He supposed that made sense. Serenity wasn't a squeaky clean merchant ship, after all.

There was someone in here too, and it looked like the man was hard at work. While it might have looked like routine training at first glance, there was something about this person was driven more than just a desire to keep skills sharp.

Standing in the doorway, Soma decided to stop and watch a little bit, just out of curiosity.

[anonymousryuuki]

Not noticing his audience, Ryuuki continued until he reached the end of his exercise. He breathed a sigh of relief at the end. It didn't look like his skills have suffered too much lately. Of course, it was a bit hard to tell without someone to spar with, but it seemed all right...

Then he noticed the person standing in the doorway. He blinked, then sheathed Bakuya with a smile.

"Hi."

[white_mathias]

Soma had meant to leave after watching, but it seemed he was too late and was already spotted. Fortunately, this person seemed to be very friendly.

"Hello," he said, returning the greeting. "You're very good."

Of course, Soma tended to think of anyone who was better than him as "very good," which was understandable due to his relative inexperienced compared to many other fighters.

[anonymousryuuki]

"Thank you." He made his way over to the other person.

"Are you new? I haven't seen you before." It was amazing the amount of people you saw while working in the halls, though he hasn't had the chance to speak with most of them.

[white_mathias]

It was a question he had been asked a lot, but Soma didn't mind answering it. After all, it was true: he was new.

"I am. I'm Soma Cruz," he said, introducing himself. "I'm not part of the crew though; just a passenger."

[anonymousryuuki]

"I'm Ryuuki." As usual, he didn't mention his last name though in this case, since Soma had mentioned his own, the omission seemed more out of place than usual.

"A passenger? Where are you going?"
