[b][i]Dojo Courtyard, Early Morning...[/i][/b]
[b][i]Repetition...[/i][/b]
[b][i]It was early in the morning around the Dojo, the sun just looking over the lowest roofs of the Dojo. A light mist had rolled into the courtyard, barely enough for it to be visible. Most people were still asleep at this time. Not Leon however...[/i][/b]
[b][i]Leon had woken up early as usual, probably about 5:00 to do some training. He had moved some training equipment outdoors into a courtyard to warm up, wrapping his hands with tape. There was two set up where he was standing, at a 45 degree angle to him. He put his hands into a guarding stance. His shirt was off, partially because he was half asleep when he left and forgot to put it on from sleeping. He started with a simple punching drill. Simple one-two combo on one bag than the other. The monotonous method of hitting one than the other, more meant to clear his mind than anything. His tattoos were revealed, not covering them anymore. It was almost his way of saying he had come to terms of his past. And that he had forgot his shirt but that's besides the point.[/i][/b]
[b][i]And so he continued on, waiting to see what would happen[/i][/b]

"B-big... v-very.. b-big.."says Akiko [i]Akiko's posture hadn't relaxed as the chimera was still sniffed at her a bit before giving her a lick with it's big tongue getting her whole back wet and making it stick straight up.[/i] "Aw he gave Akiko a kiss."says the girl.
-
[b][i]Leon laughed a bit, smiling as he looked at Akiko.[/i][/b] "Don't worry, he's just as gentle as I am."
-
"I-i g-guess he i-is"says Akiko [i]Akiko seems to relax a bit after the chimera sniffs at her again.[/i]
-
"See? He's just a big marshmallow." [b][i]Leon says jokingly [/i][/b]
-
"Yeah i see"says Akiko [i]Akiko finally relaxed as he moved away from her. It simply laid down after that.[/i]

Edited by Splashback77: 10/4/2017 12:34:10 PMSomeone was leaning against the wall, sleeping. Her helmet lie against the wall on the ground next to her. She wore a hooded cape, er, cloak, standard Hunter Bog Gear, and boots. Her brown hair was kept in a single braid. He awoke to him punching the punching bags. She discreetly checked him out. She saw his tattoos, unsure what to make of them. She was silent.
-
[b][i]He didn't seem to notice her, tho or go for being up so early he didn't look tired at all. Must've been something he was used to. His skin was a bit tan, his hair messy and black. The tattoos took up a good portion of his back and down his arms, possibly just for show as he continued the punching drill, hitting with his top two knuckles into the target with practiced precision [/i][/b]
-
"Hey," she said.
-
[b][i]He finished the drill before responding, only taking a few moments, finishing with two palm strikes, one on each target meant to be stunning blows as he looked over st the person, a slight grin on his face.[/i][/b] "Oh, sorry. Didn't know anyone else was out here."
-
"I mean, I just woke up here, so give me break." She stretched and picked up her helmet.
-
"Nah, it's my bad. Didn't mean to wake you." [b][i]He said, stretching his arms behind his back[/i][/b]
-
She shrugged, "I sleep light. Anything wakes me up."
-
"What are you doing sleeping out here anyways?" [b][i]He said, looking over at the figure[/i][/b]
-
"I sleep anywhere."
-
"I'll take it you don't really have a place to stay?"
-
She sighed, "I just wander."
-
"Yeah, I know that feeling. I've been on the road for about 2 years now."
-
"You seem pretty young, kiddo. But I'm not gonna question it," she said. The irony was, she looked younger than him.
-
"Eh, 28 as of now, though I have a good deal of experience. Served in the military for 10 years."
-
"Again. Wasn't going to question it."
-
"I know. Figured I'd mention it though."
-
"I only have 8 years on you. But you only have one life," she told him.
-
"One life that I've been very careful and reckless with." [i][b]He says, laughing a bit [/b][/i]
-
"Yeah. But I have a reputation for not dying for prolonged periods of time."
-
"As do I, and my job was to drive at people on a motorcycle with a spear."
