Martial Arts Dojo

Stalkers?

*narrows eyes and walks over to Daryan, wiping her face with a white towel*

Whom are they?

*He turns his head, his expression becoming dull*
That vampire girl....I believe her name was Maya....Something or other.

*clicks tongue and wrinkles nose in irritation, walking over to her jacket and pulling it on*

I should go take care of her. She has become quite a bother.

*He sighs*
I'll help.
*He unsheathes his sword*

*nods slightly and picks up Tenkei from the ground, walking outside barefoot*

*He moves in one swift movement, disappearing*

*He walks in, slipping out of his shoes*
Yesterday was careless.
*He begins kicking at a training doll*
Train 'till I drop, I suppose.
*He smirks, continuing to kick the doll*

*He continues practicing*
Careless. Absolutely careless!
*He clenches his teeth, throwing a few punches*

*enters the dojo, slipping his shoes off at the door and removes his coat, folding it neatly and placing it under his shoes*

*He stops, nodding to Alex*
*He continues training*

*nods back at Daryan and sits, cross-legged in front of a dummy from the other side of the room*
Now..to perfect this technique for use.
*begins concentrating his energy into controlling his sword with his mind, practicing stabbing it directly into the dummy and missing the center by a few inches*

*He remains training, but stares from the corner of his eye*
Interesting...

*sighs and relaxes, being more at ease before trying once more, hitting the dummy at the dead center*
Perfect...now.
*begins to charge his blade with spiritual energy before aiming to hit the target again*

*He stops training, showing slight exhaustion in his expression*
*He watches silently*

*stands, eyes closed as the blade hits the dummy and the spiritual energy draws out the natural energies of the wooden dummy, glowing with it as he withdraws the blade, floating it to his hand and absorbing all of the energy*
Perfect...
*opens eyes slowly, turning to Daryan and raising an eyebrow at his observance*
Intrigued?

*He gives a nod*
Interesting, nonetheless.

*nods and sheaths his blade*
What do you come to train for?

*He sighs*
I was in a battle, and my opponent and I seemed to be evenly matched.

*sits and looks up attentively*
Evenly matched, eh?
So you plan on becoming stronger?

*He nods*
Absolutely.
But, I wish you luck.
*He places his shoes on, walking out*

Good luck to you as well.
*takes his blade out and walks back over to the dummy, continuing to practice*

*stabs the sword perfectly into place on another dummy*
Astral Drain...
*watches as the energy drains from the dummy and transfers to him via the sword*
Perfected..
*stands and puts on coat and shoes, sheathing his blade and walking out*

*He walks in, looking around*
*He sighs, somewhat relieved, then closes the door*

*appears with Daryan with gusts swirling around them dully*

Would you like to change?

*glances up to him for a moment, then slides the dojo door open, stepping inside and lowering her heels to the ground*

*He nods reluctantly*
Yes. This endearing monkey suit is irritating me to a high extent.
