[ Cloud had decided to get up early and spend a few hours with his blades, making sure that they were in shape after the whole 'sucked into another world' thing. Once cleaned, sharpened, and polished he took the Fusion Swords outside of the Garden for practice. Sure he could have gone to the Training Center, but he had found the ceiling was just

[Ashe hadn't been out of her dorm much lately.. besides for classes and eating, of course.

She needed some fresh air, some alone time.. so what better place to do that than on the field? Seemed another one was feeling the same way. Ashe was around 50 feet away from Cloud, sitting on a rather large rock.]

Good morning. [She said it softly, but loud enough for him to hear, hopefully.]

[atouchofstrife]

[ He heard. One of the many benefits of the SOLDIER treatments was how hyper-aware the senses were made. It had made a few things quite an adventure until he had figured it out. At her quiet greeting, Cloud fell out of the kata he was in, letting the First Ken settle in the ground next two one of the switchblade swords. ]

Morning.

[northswains]

Quite impressive, I must say. I'm sure SeeD is pleased to have trained units now.

[She hops up and begins to approach the man slowly.]

I wasn't expecting to see anyone out here so early, however..

[atouchofstrife]

Back home, I'm considered an equal to a SOLDIER 1st Class. From what I can tell, the SeeD group would be about the same thing.

[ He shrugged, watching her approach, a wry smile briefly appearing on his lips. ]

I don't sleep much and the Training area is too cramp for me.

[northswains]

It's easy to see that. SOLDIER is an organization back home, I take it?

[She smiles wryly in turn. Gosh, they're just a bucket of fake emotions.]

Too.. cramp? It's quite spacious, though.

[atouchofstrife]

They were the elite army of the ShinRa Electrical Company. A special force, trained and enhanced so they can utilize the forces of materia.

[ He shrugged, looking down the edge of his sword for a moment, remembering again that he wanted to be one when he had been a kid in the mountains. ]

I'll hit my head on the roof. [ A shrug. SOLDIER or not, he still had their gravity-defying skills. ]

[northswains]

I.. see. What is a 'materia'?

[Wait.. what.]

Um.. Truly? The roof is quite high, though.

it's okay :3

[atouchofstrife]

Solid pieces of the Lifestream. It's how we are able to cast magic.

[ He just runs a hand through his hair, looking l a little like a kid that is talking about an embarrassing skin rash or something. ]

I sort of can jump that high.
