Training shenanigans
Kayura had been in a very good mood when they had finally gotten to training. She had finally managed to get close to perfect marks in a difficult class.

Her last four hunts had gone well even if she had been taking backup on every single one to be safe.

And it looked like training with Hajime-sempai was going well.

Up until his bokken hit her thigh.

Suddenly there's a draft which is just odd. She doesn't care she's going to fix what went wrong then they can move on, right?

	"Perhaps. I will exmain them latter on. I fear the village may have messed with the enchantments somehow." That has her smile dryly in the dark. "Well. That makes sense. It is what I do while I know my armor will be used." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That can be the way of large concentrations of such magics. Better to be safe. And the training room would be an easy place to put more clothing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"You're right. Better to keep it close on hand." She pauses to listen and sighs slightly. "She sounds very busy. We might be here a while longer." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He trusts to her hearing. "You may be right. I am sorry for the tight space... it was the only door in reach. Are you going to have clothes in your room still if she is collecting laundry?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Only what is in the hamper? I have other things packed away that are clean." Except for a bra that is hanging up and she really hopes Hajime won't see that. Not that she thinks it would be too big a deal at this point. She's been naked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	get_medieval 2011-11-10 04:50 am UTC (link)
	She has been seen very naked, its true. "Good, so there should be no problems, once we get you there." he replies, trying to figure out settling in at all in here, since they've ended up a little awkwardly posed, trying to limit contact. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Mmm. I'm already looking forward to having pants." Maybe she shouldn't have said that. Oh well too late now. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	get_medieval 2011-11-10 05:07 am UTC (link)
	He's... not quite sure what to say to that, at all. "I... yes... I can believe it." he finally decides on, as opposed to any of the assurances. He does not need to tell her she looks fine without pants, or any such thing. No. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	weakerlink 2011-11-10 05:21 am UTC (link)
	Kayura shouldn't have said that. But this is making her tense and anxious to get out. She doesn't meant to let it happen but one of her thighs knocks into one of his. She blushes a little more now. "Sorry." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	get_medieval 2011-11-10 05:24 am UTC (link)
	He blinks, really having nowhere to go to give her more space. "There is limited room... you do not need to be sorry. If you need to change position, I can try and help you if your legs are getting tired." he replies, trying to be helpful at least, even if maybe he shouldn't. "You need not be sorry."

	"They're a little tired," she admits. "You'd think I could stand this better. I mean.... most nights I'm running around in full armor." It may be 'magical' but it's still heavy. Even with the enhancements it gives her she notices the weight after a while. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He shouldn't do this. He really shouldn't do this, but...

He has had countless hours over seven centuries of standing and holding a stance for hours, to make sure he had it right, to make sure to tone the right muscles. He could do this all day... but he remembers the first days, back when he thought he was a skilled warrior just because he was kensai. The kenku knew so much better. But he does remember, faintly, the struggle, the discomfort. And this will not help his student, unlike his exercises.

He gets on better balance. "Lean against me. I will help support you until we can leave here."

"Sempai?" She asks that in the tone that she uses when he's puzzling her again. Normally this is accompanied by her adjusting her glasses and tilting her head just a bit. But since her glasses aren't here the motion to adjust them out of habit is in vain.

She decides to just go with it because her leg is bugging her much more than she's willing to admit. He's probably also used to her understating discomfort at this point. She only makes note of it if it gets in the way of training. So now she shifts and tries to find a comfortable way to lean against him. Somehow this ends with her thigh pressed between his legs and her shifting so she isn't pressed too tightly against him. It doesn't work as well as she'd like because her sore thigh is saying no in it's own special way.

And she has no idea what to do with her hands either. They flutter uselessly before falling down at her sides and she gives a sigh and just tries to listen to what's going on.

He shifts to put an arm about her shoulders, still bracing against the wall with one hand. "Is your leg alright?" he asks, on hearing the groan.
The leg pressed between his, at some point, will likely lead her to a discovery, but he doesn't say anything, hoping perhaps she's either being polite, or in too much pain to notice. The latter would be both better and worse.

"Put your hands on my shoulders, and brace your self. Lean into me, and take the pressure off." he instructs quietly.

"It's just sore," she says.

But because there is little else she can do she puts her hands on his shoulders and does as he instructs. She's planning on ignoring his er, reaction. She didn't want to give it any thought because it didn't happen if no one brought it up. That's just how things should work.

Also she's starting to get comfortable and seriously hopes that she doesn't need to be.

Seriously, how long does it take to clean?

	He nods, they're close enough she can even see the expression and shift. He's trying to stay very carefully neutral right now, and focus on helping her stay comfortable. "Ok, let me know if it gets worse, and I will try and help more." he offers, quietly agreeing with her that this is just something best not spoken of. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	weakerlink 2011-11-10 06:49 am UTC (link)
	The whole thing will never get brought up again. Kayura will be very sure to keep spare clothes and glasses in the training room just in case from now on. She nods slightly. "Hai. Thank you Sempai." For the next few minutes she's quite. She can hear cleaning going on. Lots and lots of vacuuming it seems like. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	get_medieval 2011-11-10 06:50 am UTC (link)
	He tries to hold still, waiting to see how long she can manage like this, and if she'll outlast the vacuuming. Standing in one place, especially in cramped quarters, can be harder than it seems, especially with a bad leg. "Of course." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	weakerlink 2011-11-10 06:55 am UTC (link)
	The fact it's bothering her annoys her. She will be working on fixing that somehow. But she does have to shift just a little when she feels her leg start to protest again. Just a fraction helps and she goes still again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	get_medieval 2011-11-10 06:59 am UTC (link)
	He takes a deeper breath, trying to cut it off, when she shifts. That's... awkward. But he thinks, at least, its not too obvious still. "Are you sure you're alright?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	weakerlink 2011-11-10 07:03 am UTC (link)
	No. "It's just a cramp. I'll be better once we're not in here," she says with more confidence. Mostly because she pants on seeing to it then going to sleep. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	get_medieval 2011-11-10 07:07 am UTC (link)
	He ponders this a moment. "When we get to your room, I will help you get rid of the cramp." he replies, not sure entirely why he says it, other than... well, it'd be what he'd say in most situations. Then, he quickly... but not too quickly, adds, "When you have shorts on." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	weakerlink 2011-11-10 07:14 am UTC (link)
	That has her giggle softly. "I would appericate that." Oh dear better continue. "I... er mean. After I have shorts on because um.... Yeah." So much blushing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Ok, she's giggling, that's something. "Admittedly, the pressure point massage is often done... without shorts, when in privacy." Because that only makes sense. It works best after a bath or other hot water, and then its in the right context. Nothing taboo about that, when everyone reasonably should expect to be dressed or undressed a certain way. Unlike this.

"But yes... after this, you would probably prefer that." he quickly corrects, lest she get the wrong idea. He forgets how much things have changed sometimes.

	She's not going to say anything. She's not going to say anything. Really. "Um. Yeah I would." She clears her throat. "I'm not comfortable being in the nude around people." And she's staying away from everything else there that shouldn't be said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
