[F23-PP-PT] No Holding Back


Recommended Posts

Eruda spent all day making a new outfit, one that she was wearing now. A baggy pair of white sweat pants and a light pink tank top that went just above her stomach, with the red fabric holding her hair out of her face. Instead of making dinner tonight she just grabbed a few selections of bread from Ryllae's shop. She was excited to share the new creations that she made. One that contained peach and the other a apple. She went into detail of how she made them, something about mashing each fruit and blending it with the dough mix. Eruda suggest that next time she could chop each fruit up instead of mashing them. It was in agreement that she would do just that next time, the young elf was eager to learn. The bread was sitting on the table on a platter with a tea cup that was half empty next to it.

Eruda was sitting in the middle of the floor meditating with a music crystal playing sitting on the piano. It was one of the softer melodies, it made for good back round noise. Kasumi had shown her a while ago amongst other things to do with the martial arts. The lessons had dropped because Kasumi had became more busy with laughing coffin. To be honest it was fine but Eruda never continued the teachings, she was finding it hard to spar by herself. She would play spar with her wolf sometimes but the wolf always wound up pinning Eruda and it would end with a one way licking session. Back in the day she was to scared to ask Raidou to teach her, but things have shifted and changed for the greater good. She already self taught herself to ice skate, one of these times she would have to show him just how good she had gotten. Instead of messaging Raidou, she would wait for him. He was pretty good about being home at a decent time. She would ask him when he got home, so for the moment she would stay focused. Calming her nerves, mind, and soul so to speak. She was unsure that she could calm her emotions though, it was really hard to do with Raidou around. The least she could do was try.

The man would wander through the threshold, as punctual as always and offering his robe to the rack. Unfurling the belt slung across his chest, removing the ebon vanguard and auric sunlight from the spaces that they rested behind his right shoulder. He'd look to Elda who had taken a space in the center of the large room that they did most of their existing in. This was a rather new addition, an odd new activity that he'd not seen her do up until now. Clearly she was trying to still her mind or relax, which of the two the nomad was not entirely sure. Raidou would move to the set of drawers and begin to offload all the various odds and ends carefully as to not break her concentration.

Remaining as quiet as he could, he'd begin to help himself to some tea and collect a book from the shelf in the back right corner. Gently removing a seat, he'd pour out some breakfast blend tea and collect a single slice of bread. Ryllae had clearly been improving at a staggering rate, the deliveries were starting to come in a lot less burnt. He'd lightly turn the pages as he'd read and let his future wife enjoy her peace, waiting for her to finish up before paying her a greeting.

Deep even breaths, in through her nose and out through her mouth. Blinking her eyes open as she sees Raidou sitting there reading... She didn't even hear him come in, no click of the door, no tapping of his boots no nothing... Getting the her feet rather quickly, "When the heck did you get home" she would question as she walks to the kitchen with her cup in hand grabbing some more tea herself. She barely drank coffee anymore, she has come to like the blends of tea. She did have to add a bit a sugar so that it wasn't so bitter but that was fine. It was probably better for her anyway. Setting the completed tea on the table, she would walk behind the man and wrap her arms limply around him with a soft kiss to his cheek, "Hi" saying in almost a whisper against his ear with a small snuggle against his head before releasing the man.

Scooting a chair closer to him, sitting and taking a sip. She would wait till he folds to book over before speaking. Nursing the cup in both hands with her close enough that her knee was touching his. "You might be a bit confused about why I was meditating, simple" saying with a grin painted across her lips as she takes another sip. "A little while back I asked Kasumi to teach me your martial arts style, the defensive arts." She would take another small sip before getting up and moving to the middle of the room again. "She got busy so the lessons stopped" she moves her feet slightly apart and raises her arms slightly up with each set of finger tightly pressed together wondering if she was remembering it right. Most likely not because her memory wasn't as good as Raidou's was but she had to show him what she knew. Trying to recall how Kasumi taught her to move with the waves... Dropping her hands rather abruptly "I can't teach myself like I did with ice skating. Will you show me your ways Sensei." It was a bit weird calling him that but in reality he has shown he a lot of stuff already, one being the right way to gather in the field. A pleading look with almost puppy dog eyes and slightly drooped bottom lips "Please."

The man turns the book inward toward his chest, leaning into Elda as she'd come up to pay him a greeting all her own. "Not too long, about 10 minutes or so. Enjoy your break?" He'd ask as she'd trail away, seeking out a cup of her own. As she'd take a seat he'd listen intently to her reasoning, paying her a earnest smile. Sitting close he'd fold the book up and place it down on the table, finding her curiosity a bit involved in his own past. So Kasumi had been playing teacher to Elda in regards to Mugen Tenshin. At least his own bastardized variation of it, that his father clearly did not approve of. Gently leaning forward the man would place the cup down. "You're sure you want to learn, its not exactly easy." But her expression didn't leave much wiggle room for misinterpretation. Clearly she had her mind set on it, so the nomad would sigh and shake his head 'no' in a defeated acceptance. He wasn't exactly the sort to be a teacher, and wasn't entirely enthused about it either. He had a strained relationship with it, but he couldn't quite deny her either.

"Get on something comfortable, but somewhat loose so you can move around freely. I am not going to try in here. I'd rather not destroy all our new furniture." Spoken as he'd grab some of his equipment and begin storing it away in his inventory so he had it just in case, but couldn't wear it given how ungainly it would be. They'd need a place that wasn't so 'rigged' to restrict their movements.

"What little furniture we do have, more like the windows wouldn't be safe" she could help but chuckle. Looking down at herself, she thought this was fine but she would do what Raidou says. Running up stairs to her designer room, glancing to the dresses but she didn't want to ruin any of them. Eyeing another section, shaking her head. Looking in the stuff that she originally made for Freya, slowly dragging each hanger to the right against the metal rack. Stopping at a set, blushing a bit. She never wears stuff like this but it looked the most fitting out of what she had.

Walking down the stairs with a deep breath nervous. Stretchy black short shorts with a white tank top. She would need to make something more fitting later but for now this should do. "I know a place we can go. It isn't far from here." Hopping down the rest of the stairs trying to focus, but she couldn't help what Raidou was thinking at this moment. "Follow me," she says as she opens the door. Waiting for him to be done with what he was doing, she locks the door behind them. Steeping down some stairs, she takes a left. They walk past a few building and across a bridge, this was a place she stumbled upon by accident when she got lost. It was a large place and it was easy to lose track of where you were without a map. They eventually come to a decent size clearing. Very little trees sprouted from the ground and there was building around but in the distance. Fresh green grass, she wasn't sure if this was a place that was okay for the type of stuff. It wasn't much different than the sands that Kasumi and her were practicing on though. "Will this do?" She wasn't sure why she was so nervous, maybe it was because she was afraid of making a fool of herself. What if she didn't get what he was trying to tell her and she messes it up. Closing her eyes she would sit down and start to stretch. Kasumi told her it was important that before they did anything that she had to stretch first.

Raidou looks at her attire, and it almost takes him for a loop. Looked like a spitting image of Freya with slightly longer hair. His gear placed away the man was more then settled up, and prepares to exit. Eruda was already bee lining out of the building and screaming off down the streets the moment her attire was approved. Her excitement had clearly gotten the better of her. Toward the eastern side of Aradennia, the open field of grass that was still struggling to turn green. It was definitely coming back to life, all their efforts to revitalize it coming to fruition. Settled up in her headspace, she was filled to the brim with happiness. The man put his arms behind his back, walking around her as if scanning the place. "This should work." He'd reach for his glasses and pull them off, casting them into his inventory to prevent them from being broken. His hands start direct her body, moving her legs apart under her shoulder. Lightly pushing to twist her upper body and hips into a 45 degree turn. A light tap of his foot to have her correct the angle of her toes.

Reaching for her wrists, he pulls them up to her eye level. "Open your left hand. Your right is dominant. So your left is your lead." Drawing her right down to her hip, he turns her hand to have her fingers held upward. Taking care to tuck her elbow behind her back, he then curves her left slightly inward toward her right shoulder at a 90 degree joint. "Now brace, bend your knees slightly. Your stability is in your feet."

Rai corrects her positioning, tells her to bend her knees slightly. Having to think about it, "Like this" question as he smiles with a small chuckle. Holding her waist and pulling her up a few inches. "Don't laugh" she was struggling to keep a straight face. Face flustered, as she watches Rai get into the same stance. She takes a deep breath trying relax, pulling her fingers together tighter, the shake a bit not use to the motion. He starts to show her basic movements, each revert back to the beginning position. She attempts to mimic and it just looks like a limp noodle fighting. She watches Rai closer, it looks like he was putting force into each strike. A few times she almost looses her balance and has to readjust slightly to regain posture. Every time he would walk over and correct the stance. Closing her eyes, she was so bad at this. After a while she eventually got it down but that balance was still off. It made no sense that she could block and hold her ground against nearly everything she came her way but this was hard.

After a couple hours she became a bit shaky, but it wasn't nervousness it was being in the same position that made her body feel stiff. Laying down on the ground, staring up at the blue skies. A small break, she felt like she was on fire. "How long does it take for your body to get use to this intense feeling..." she would question being almost out of breath. Sweat dripping down her forehead to combined with her bangs that were plastered to the sides of her face. Heavy breath, lifting her head to look at Rai, he barely seemed touched. A small grown as her head falls back down. She knew this was only the start of everything but dam was she tired.

"If your doing it right, you'll always have that burn. It means your getting stronger. At least that was what I was taught." Raidou comments loosely sitting with his legs crossed, enjoying the breeze as it would trickle through the somewhat brown and green speckled grass. "Practice and consistency is the only way to achieve what your after." A couple of hours pass by quicker then the drop of a pin, and was lost just as quickly. The man shifted his inventory and produced his little endless cask of tea, pouring himself and the girl out a cup the same. Looking out at the near dead city of Aradennia where very rarely you would spot a single sun elf wandering down its streets. A far cry from the town of beginnings, in all its boisterous luster. "Still have a lot of work to do, but little by little it will get better." He remarks looking down into the cup before bringing it up to his mouth.

"What made you want to try and learn this, its not really all that relevant here. Especially given most of it is handled by the system?"

Wasn't that the truth, it was harder than learning how the shield and sword worked. She caught on to that rather quickly but this was a whole new animal. Sitting up slightly as he takes a seat next to her. Leaning on her side bracing herself with her elbow, "Thank you" saying as she takes the cup in her hand and takes a sip. She had grown rather fond of his tea. "Maybe we can do some gardening or something to help them out" yea cause that worked out so good last time. Face turns a bit red, and then he asked a question that she was waiting for him to ask eventually. Something that she had thought about more often then not.

Looking out to the almost dead grass as she tucks her bangs behind her ear that threaten to fall back down. "When we get out of here, I don't want to just be a house wife." That term was rather bothersome, she felt like a slave in her own home. "If we are to be together outside this place I want to be someone that people respect." That is why she had been working so hard in the game as of late. "I don't want to be viewed as someone that you just picked up from a random game." Her face was on the more serious side. "I want people to see me and know exactly why you chose me. By knowing this part of you I feel like it would help." Taking another sip before looking up the man she loved. "Does that make sense?" It did to her and she knows that it might sound stupid to most but this is the way she thought. If she learned now then it would be a cake walk out there, the only thing she would have to do was get in shape...

"Respect stems from understanding. To change who you are for the sake of expectations doesn't lend itself to respect but conformity." Raidou explained without looking directly at Eruda, instead nursing the horizon from above his cup. Taking another sip, he'd lower it into his lap. "Being who you are, there will be those that will make false assumptions, whether you attempt to fit their decided criteria or not. What is important is you remain yourself, instead of losing yourself to expectations set by others. The goal post will always shift, and if others do not believe you to be good enough that's a them problem." Raidou turns to look at Elda. "If you want, I will gladly teach you. But not for some implied obligation. I chose you with no strings attached, and everyone will need to learn to live with that." The man would turn over his hand and place it in the grass near her, giving her the invitation to take it.

Listening to his words carefully, he was right. In the game she learned to not care about what people thought about her. She would always push through and did what had to be done. If she was to do this it had to be because she wanted to learn for herself and not for the others sake. She shakes her head with a smile, why is it that he always knew what to say at the right time. Another thought came to mind, a long time ago she said that she wanted to be a teacher. At first it was a school teacher but why couldn't it be something more involved. Seeing his hand she sits upright, with her free hand she takes his and locks their fingers together. "I want to learn so I can teach the kids the right way. Help show them that there is another way." Be the person opposite of what she use to be. "I want to learn from the best," bringing his hand up, kissing it lightly. Scooting closer with a small amount of struggle realizing just how stiff she really was. She lays her head on his shoulder, it was peaceful out here.
