[i]"What does someone like you do for fun?"[/i]
[b]Ami, being what she was, enjoyed a broad category of things. The vessels each had dominion over something, and she had the pleasure of dominion over creativity. This meant she enjoyed cooking, art, music... But she managed to find pleasure in various other things.[/b]
[b]With a flick of her ears, she gave Lance a searching look, her hands resting neatly over her stomach, causing the silk to ripple. Between the look and dress, it wouldn't be hard to mistake her for someone who didn't belong in the Dojo...[/b]

[i] Lance looked like he was about to say something, as if an answer was on the tip of his tongue, but nothing came out. He really didn't know what to say, he didn't have anything he did for fun. He was 99% sure training and polishing swords, sparring with people wasn't considered fun in most people's books. After a moment, he shrugged apologetically.[/i] "I don't know."
-
[i]"Laaaaammme."[/i] [b]With an exasperated roll of the eyes, Ami got to her feet, stretching her arms out so that the corners of Belle's orange tattoo poked up from her back.[/b] [i]"Let's ditch this place and go look around."[/i] [b]Ami grinned and blew past the doors in a haste, not even waiting for Lance. At this rate, she was gonna cause an accident.[/b]
-
[i] Lance had no trouble keeping up. After all, he had teenagers. Ami wasn't all that different. Well, she was, but that wasn't the point.[/i] "Don't you ever just sit and read a book or something?" [i] Lance asked with a sideways glance at her. He put his hands in his pockets, fiddling with the contents. A whole wrapped peppermint and coin. [/i]
-
[i]"I spend the majority of my existence sitting around and watching through someone else's eyes. If you just got out of prison, would you sit and read a book?"[/i] [b]She rolled her eyes as she moved through the streets, looking at the various buildings... Nothing particularly interesting.[/b] [i]"Besides, I'd rather not read someone else's thoughts for hours."[/i]
-
"I seriously want Belle back.." [i] He muttered quietly. Ami was cool, but Lance had enough of running around and finding interesting things by himself. Being dragged around to do the same wasn't as interesting as sitting with someone and actually enjoying it.[/i] "How do I beat Salem and get Belle back, Ami? It's gotta be in your best interest too, considering if Salem controls Belle, he controls you."

Edited by Chesh I Guess: 12/4/2016 4:27:46 AM[i]"Well... That's the thing. I kinda sorta need him around. He can separate us. And right now, he's the only one. I don't exactly want to be stuck together with someone forever."[/i] [b]Ami shrugged, not really interested in Belle. She just wanted freedom, and Salem could provide it. And she didn't exactly care who she had to push down to get that freedom.[/b]
-
[i] Lance flinched at that remark. To hear her brush Belle off so casually ,when she meant that much to Lance, quite frankly pissed him off. [/i] "Yeah, okay." [i]He said plainly, obviously not satisfied with that answer. Lance would kill Salem if he didn't give Belle back to him. He didn't care if Belle still had Ami in her or not. [/i]
-
[i]"Cheer up. You won't have to put up with me once I'm separated."[/i] [b]She shook her head in annoyance, not expecting Lance to understand. But she would stop him if he tried to kill Salem... He was her only chance.[/b] [i]"Now, let's focus on what to do... I wonder if they had a tea garden or a lake to swim in."[/i]
-
"They have pools, lakes, tea gardens, ponds, the beach, wherever you wanna go. The place is abundant in just about everything." [i] He said plainly. He was okay with tagging along with Ami, but he still wanted Belle back. And soon enough, he'd strike a deal with her somehow. Help her have Salem separate her from Belle, and then have Salem give him Belle back. Unless, separating the pair was harmful to Belle. Then Ami could stay put. Lance walked like he was always on his guard, somehow. Even though he was relaxed, graceful, almost elegant in stature, it was the way his body moved..like a living weapon. He seemed ready for a fight at a moment's notice, and looked relaxed at the same time. Putting his hand in his pocket, he withdrew a peppermint wrapped in plastic, which he plucked off and put the candy into his mouth. Strange habit. [/i]
-
[b]Ami yawned as if uninterested in Lance's words, using a hand to cover her mouth.[/b] [i]"Let's just cut this short. You and I both know this is about as fun as beating a dead horse. Besides, I can only stand the same company for so long."[/i] [b]Whereas Lance gave off prowess, Ami had the tendency to give off... Nothing... No power, no strength, no skill. Simply plain besides her sly nature. Surely there was more to her than that?[/b]
-
"Really? And here I was having the time of my life with you." [i] He says, a massive grin on his face. He was obviously kidding..probably? He was so convincing it was hard to tell.[/i] "What's your damage? There's more to you than what I'm seeing, I'm sure of it. That's the case with everyone really."
-
[i]"Oh please, I don't need a therapist. Besides, do I know all your secrets? No."[/i] [b]And with that, Ami lifted up a hand, a blue ball of energy forming in the center, making a sound resembling swirling wind.[/b] [i]"Take care, dear."[/i] [b]With that, the orb expanded into a flat opening, showing the perfect image of a massive city on the other side. The city was beautiful, with flowing water, gardens, towers, castles... Like it was from a dream.[/b] [b]With a hop, she passed through the entrance, waving to Lance as the entrance began to collapse.[/b]
-
[i] He rolled his eyes at her, not bothering to wave back. If he had his way, he wouldn't have to deal with her for much longer. No, he'd have Belle back. And he didn't care what he had to do to force Salem to make things right. He'd bleed like everything else. He turned his back on the portal, and with shoulders up and back straight, walked off to god knows where. [/i]
