"Alright, then I won't judge Aside from making a mess with tomatoes."
-
[i]"What, you're just going to ignore the mess from yesterday? Both messes are fun, this one needs a mop is all," Nat jokingly shot back, as she picked up a cluster of forks, butter knives and spoons. She started tossing them slowly, one by one so that they wouldn't overwhelm her. [/i]
-
"Wait! It doesn't work like that for me, I have to touch the metal first before I can bend it. So don't get trigger happy on me." She caught as many as she could, before stopping Nat from overwhelming her. Then she sorted through them all, and looked up again. "Wish I could just bend anything, but its not always so simple."
-
[i]"Shit, sorry about that." Nat thought for a moment, though she eventually got off the counter and grabbed the utensils, which she tossed into a drawer. She grabbed a knife from a rack on the countertop and held it towards Rose, holding it by the blade. "Here, maybe you could bend this?" [/i]
-
Taking it, she held it for a bit, before placing her hand on the tip of the knife, and pushed down. Normally her hand should go onto the blade, and a trip to an ER was needed, but instead the blade bent backwards on itself, zigzagging until she pressed it against the handle.
-
[i]"Well damn, you turned it into paper." [/i]
-
"I can also reshape it into anything, which is why I wear a metal armband now, useful for when I need it." She shrugged, then straightened the blade again, and passed it back.
-
[i]Nat took the blade and tossed it at the wall beside her gently, letting it fall into the rack. She played it off as if it was intentional, but internally she was flipping her shit at such a mundane feat. "Yeah? What kinds of things do you usually end up making?" [/i]
-
"Depends on what I can think of, it also means I need more metal for the bigger things I try to make." Rose herself didn't see it as that impressive. Although she would win at any game with knives though.
-
[i]"Right, so I would guess that's enough for, like, a knife?" [/i] [spoiler]Nat gets impressed by mundane shit a lot, just kind of a little quirk. [/spoiler]
-
"Its enough for a good sized machete or something similar, yeah."
-
[i]"Ah, cool." Nat was starting to get the feeling that this training session was rather redundant. She could see Rose already had her skills done, so her presence was essentially akin to a fly that buzzed about a person. "Well, I should probably get back to the camp." [/i]
-
"We both should, yeah." She let out a sigh, Rose could appreciate Nat for trying, but the bandit did say for the most part she had it down. Just needed to work with bigger items.
-
[i]"And... Sorry for dragging you all the way out here. I know it was kinda stupid, looking back on it." Nat walked towards the windowsill and climbed out, sliding down the fire escape. She started to walk her way back to the campsite. [/i]
-
Rose did her best to keep up, jogging once she got down to catch up with Nat. "Hey, its fine! At least you tried, which is far better than what most people would do, literally. Some of the soldiers in my tent watch and laugh at times."
-
[i]Nat stood in place for a moment to let Rose catch up to her, and she resumed walking when she did so. "Why would any solider laugh at someone who is literally bending metal? Are they -blam!-ing dense?" [/i]
-
"As dense as steel, yeah. You'd be surprised." She let out a sigh, knowing she couldn't do much about them, not without causing problems in the camp.
-
[i]"What did you do in response to that?" [/i]
-
"I can't do anything, it would cause a commotion amongst the ranks and I would probably end up killed or something."
-
[i]"You know I wouldn't let that shit happen. I have some pull with the higher ups." [/i]
-
"Well if you did it there's a difference. I can't do much since I'm basically just a grunt."
-
[i]"You're sleeping with a knightess that directly works under the sister of the lead Trayven. I'd say you have some pull over what you can do, right?" [/i]
-
"I mean, I can't exactly say I have leverage. Plus I would more say friends with benefits, I'm seeing someone else as well." Rose rubbed the back of her neck then, letting out a weak laugh.
-
[i]"What?" Nat simply inquired. Perhaps she had heard that wrong, maybe it was Rose saying something else wierdly. Nat was curious now. [/i]
-
"I'm kind of getting with the sister of one of the Trayven generals..." She kept walking alongside Nat, hoping she wouldn't be angry.
