[i][u]Characters:[/u][/i] Enter Elecin Browlinger, Omnus Ephiateus, Theresa
[i][u]Title:[/u][/i] Kaleon's Disappointment
[i][b]Eli could be seen in the courtyard, as always. However, this time, he was training with Omnus. Training with his sword, as usual. Theresa sat on a bench nearby, watching, and giving advice to the both of them. While Eli was retched at swordsmanship, Omnus was still bad.
Eli had seen steady improvement since his arrival at the dojo, however at the rate he was going, it would be centuries until he would be at the point of life-saving levels. It seemed as though the Knight of Kaleon of this generation wouldn't be doing much to save lives; and he wouldn't be giving birth to any successors, either.
He had seen many improvements on his block technique, and could now block virtually any attack; as compensation for his retched offense. Omnus swung Soul Cutter at Eli, which he blocked with Thundering Skies.
It was afternoon, and the sun was sweltering hot. Eli and Omnus were both visibly sweating, but kept at it.[/b][/i]
[spoiler]Open.
This'll be a major step in Elecin's character development, so... yeah.[/spoiler]

-
"I won't...I...I promise..." [i][b]Ella kept on sobbing, shaking her head.[/b][/i] [i]"...Y-yeah..."[/i] [b][i]Iza looked at Omnus, forcing a smile.[/i][/b]
-
[b][i]Slowly, Eli, who was confused, sad, and crying, slowly began to move his mouth from Ella's forehead to her cheek.... Odds are, however, he'll forget about it later, and only remember feeling depressed, and searching for something to give him joy in his sadness. Omnus pulled Iza close, not speaking.[/i][/b]
-
[b][i]Ella didn't move, still sobbing. Her eyes were closed at the moment, still shaking her head.[/i][/b] [i]"I...I'll clean up...I'm so sorry, Omn."[/i]
-
[b][i]Eli's mouth slowly traveled from Ella's cheek to the very edge of her mouth, still not thinking completely straight. After all, he had just experienced an overload of fire that awakened his abilities, and then watched that saved his life twice die. All he knew was that Ella would be a comfort to him, and comfort was the only thing he wanted at the moment.[/i][/b] "[i]What're you sorry for?[/i]" [b][i]Omnus asked, confused.[/i][/b]
-
[i]"I...I should go..."[/i] [b][i]Iza looked incredibly embarrassed. Ella, on the other hand, still didn't move. She opened her eyes.[/i][/b]
-
[b][i]Eli had closed his eyes, and his lips finally met Ella's.[/i][/b] "[i]... alright.... I'll see you, Iz.....[/i]"
-
[b][i]Ella closed her own, silent.[/i][/b] [i]"Y-yeah...love you."[/i] [b][i]Iza walked into the Dojo, blood dripping from her clothing.[/i][/b]
-
[b][i]Then, Omnus turned his head towards Eli and Ella. Eli was kissing slowly, not forcing anything on Ella. Omnus's jaw dropped.[/i][/b] "[i]Isaac's gonna love this….[/i]"
-
[b][i]As if coincidental, Isaac returned.[/i][/b] [u]"I...I buried her...by the lake."[/u] [b][i]Beside the lake now was a third grave, nearby Patches's and Mortar's. I might make a post about Isaac praying at it or something...[/i][/b] [u]"Anyway, what..."[/u] [b][i]He looked at Elecin and Ella kissing, and went silent.[/i][/b]
-
"[i]… y'know, I guess I really don't mind.... Only because it's Eli. But it's up to you.[/i]"
-
[u]"...I'll wait for em to finish up..."[/u] [b][i]He goes silent once again.[/i][/b]
-
[b][i]Eventually, Eli pulled away from Ella. Omnus remained silent, as Eli realized what just happened.[/i][/b] "Oh.... Oh my god.... I'm so sorry.... I didn't know what I was doing...."
-
[u]"...No, Eli...it's fine. I understand...I was too harsh earlier. And I'm sorry. Ella...if you want to hang around him, I'm fine with that. Okay?"[/u] "Okay..."
-
[b][i]Eli's eyes widen in surprise.[/i][/b] "R-really? Okay...." [b][i]He looks at Ella awkwardly.[/i][/b]
-
[u]"If you two really want to...I've got no problem with it."[/u] "Thanks..."
-
[b][i]While normally Eli would've broken into a grin, he just nodded, getting up.[/i][/b] "See you soon, Ella...."
-
"Y-yeah...see you too..."
-
[b][i]Eli forces a smile, before turning, and walking towards Theresa's grave, to grieve. Omnus followed.[/i][/b]
-
[b][i]You may want to move to the new post, then. Lol.[/i][/b]
-
[b][i]Tomorrow.... I have an early day. And so do you, ffs[/i][/b]
-
[b][i]Oh yeaaaaaaah. Okay.[/i][/b]
-
*Sketch, Sapphire and Vorim'Tairn walk up.* "Hey guys!" [u]What's going on?[/u] [spoiler]I don't what to be that guy... But do you mean [i]wretched[/i] when you say [i]retched?[/i][/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Uh.... It's not incorrect, so I'm gonna just leave it at "retched".[/spoiler] [b][i]Eli looks at them.[/i][/b] "Oh, training-" [b][i]He's cut off by Omnus shoulder-charging him, and he stumbles back.[/i][/b]
-
*Vorim winces as he watches Omnus shoulder charge him...* [u]That had to hurt...[/u] "Oh! Well we were going to help teach Vorim how to fight hand to hand..."
-
"Hey, I'm pretty good in hand-to-hand combat," [b][i]Elecin said, his fist meeting Omnus's jaw.[/i][/b]
