When: IC: 11/28, OOC: 3/06, forward-dated!
Where: a nice empty lot
What: idk some demons and some legs and stuff like that
Rating/Warning: None?!

[Naoki's starting to learn a few things about Yang the longer that he spends time with her. One of these things is that she seems to remember well even the things he thinks she says completely jokingly-- like how they talked about coaxing bellyrubs from one of his demons. How she's going to do that, he's not sure, but hey, there can't be any harm in letting her give it a shot if she's even a bit serious. Especially since he's here in case Yurlungur gets any ideas of trying to eat any magatsuhi.

Tearing his curious gaze away from the outfit she's switched to today, he props his hand on his hip.]

Since you dressed up and all, I could let you try it out. Buuuut, it's not too late to call it off either. [And they can get on to training! He looks again at her clothes, secretly admiring (where he's sure Yurlungur won't). It's different and fresh and er anyway back on track he's completely focused on the topic on hand.]

[masakados]

Giant snakes, right?

[Because it's always a giant something or other in her world...]

[flaredo]

Bigger than the average, at least! The ones that have stuck around longer are the biggest-- but the snakes have two heads, just like Yurlungur.

... Not as cute, though.

[masakados]

Yeah, Yurlungur's got the advantage of being cute. But, he's also really strong.

[BUT he's not going to say too much because if she eventually fights him he's going to let her be surprised.]

I'll let you find out that one for yourself, though.

[flaredo]

Oh, I figured. You're the same, right?

[ Cute and strong. It's a good combo. ]

[masakados]

--huh?

[THAT GOES OVER HIS HEAD AT FIRST hence the owlish look.]

[flaredo]

Cute-- [ she presses a finger to his cheek. ] And strong.

[ And now, she lowers that hand to tap his chest. ]

[masakados]

[He rubs at his cheek with a palm the moment after she moves her finger.]

I'm--

--more strong than cute, okay? [EMBARRASSED and he's trying to cover it of course he is. Not very successfully.]

[flaredo]

[ It's hilarious, and she's honestly trying not to laugh. ]

I think you're pretty balanced!

[masakados]

[HE CAN SEE THAT ALL RIGHT he can sense her mood too so he gives her a look.]

Not really. At all.

[He turns away while shoving his hands in his pockets pointedly.]

[flaredo]

... Actually, the cute side miiiiight be winning right now.

[ Did you really think turning your back would work!! ]

[masakados]

Yang...

[Naoki groans but he's not going to turn back to her! He knows what she's doing.]

Don't tease me. [And a little louder, purposeful:] Are we going to do some training or something else today or what?

[flaredo]

I'm up for anything. Am I fighting your demons today?

-- Also, I was being honest.

[masakados]

[A MOMENT OF LONG, EMBARRASSED SILENCE.]

[masakados]

[And then no he's fine and he'll glance back at her completely composed. Completely.]

If you want to, you can fight them.

[flaredo]

Why not? I've got to keep improving, don't I?

[ And she's grinning at him, unrepentant. He's a lot easier to fluster than she thought. ]

[masakados]

[As much as he wants to be all stubborn and give her a flat look... her grin is contagious and he ends up smiling, folding his arms over his chest.]

Wanna take them both on at once? I can referee.

[flaredo]

As long as you don't feel too lonely on the sidelines-- [ fist pump. ]

[masakados]

I'll survive a bit of loneliness.

[With a laugh, and then Naoki waves his hand; both Yurlungur and Long appear with flashes of light once again.]

Whenever you guys are ready. [He's indeed going off to the sidelines, giving quite a bit of room.]

[flaredo]

You guys can go first, then! [ brightly. Yes, she's bouncing lightly from foot to foot. ]

[masakados]

[When the demons look to Naoki, he tips his head encouragingly. Then Long, coiling himself up, bares his teeth with a throaty laugh.

And he surges, rippling through the air toward Yang, jaws open to bite. Just below him, electricity dances over Yurlungur's body before following after Long's lunge in a crackling burst.

Naoki hums to himself, hand setting at his chin all well, he would've went for a different strategy, but he's not giving orders here--]

[flaredo]

[ Yang's laugh is almost as throaty, and her gauntlets activate as she uses one shot to send herself up into the air. It helps her narrowly avoid Long, and by then, Yurlungur's coming at her with-- electricity?

Surprised, there's a faintly pained noise as the sparks hit, sending her back down to the ground. But then she digs in her heels and swings a fist forward, sending out a large, fiery shot at the snake. ]

[masakados]

[Long twists in the air to follow after her, but even a demon has speed limits, and he's bigger and just a bit slower. It takes a moment for him to follow where she's landed, huffing.

Naoki smiles to himself as that fire shot shoots toward Yurlungur--

But when it should hit, the fire disappears with a zwip sort of sound. Ahh, yes, this noise; Naoki remembers the first time he tried to use any kind of elemental ability against Yurlungur. The snake makes a sound like a laugh and it darts out of the way as Long goes for another lunge at her.]

[flaredo]

Seriously?! [ Yang's cry is half-indignant, half-impressed-- but well, she'll commit that to memory. She'll have to use brute strength against the rainbow snake.

But she'll try another burst at Long, just to make sure that it isn't both of them, ready to dodge-roll off to the side so as to avoid getting slammed into. ]

[masakados]

Seriously! [Naoki calls (very helpfully) from the sidelines, feeling a sense of camaraderie.

Long growls, cringing visibly, as the fire hits him; it does it's damage (super effective in fast), but her speed seems to be doing him in even more. He hits the ground bodily, claws and body leaving a huge furrow in the sand before he twists.

And, opting for another strategy, he breathes a cloud of ice at her as, on her opposite side, Yurlungur whips up a blast of wind to fire.]

[flaredo]

[ Yang shoots Naoki a wry look, but she's focused on avoiding that ice (yeah, no, no cold thank you). Unfortunately, she misses a step, which brings her into the path of the wind.

She's starting to think she might not be that fond of the wind either when it slams her off her feet and onto her back.

... Full of surprises. She'll appreciate it more when her back stops hurting. ]
