eleventh breath ✧ action

[musubi]

[It's sometime after he's gotten back from the usual friday morning session at the dojo, and it's pouring down rain outside. Therefore, the logical place for Isamu to be is indoors, maybe reading a book. This, however, is not the case.

After leaving a note for Naoki, Isamu has headed back outside in just a button-up shirt and pants. In the woods not too far from his apartment building, he's currently standing uncovered in the rain. If someone was to watch him, they might catch him occasionally throwing his arms up in the air with a "HA!"... only to have nothing happen.

Though looking discouraged, the teen will continue this for the next while.]

Oh, is that right? I'm flattered. Really.

[It's not easy to just go back to what he's doing now that the pirate is watching him.] There something you wanted, or did I just pick a bad spot?

[considers that... then stands up]

Gonna share what that was? Didn't look like filial magic. [unless maybe it was Sona's power]

[He smiles knowingly.] That's where you're wrong!

If only one of the spirits here is gonna listen to me, then I'm gonna do the best I can with what I have to work with.

[looks visibly surprised]

... Nala-chan?

Think about it, man! Healing, protecting, it's all along the same line of thought, right? I mean, when I -- [He stops, catching himself as he realizes what he was about to say. There were only two people in Luceti that even knew he could actually heal others. That wasn't something he'd been meaning to spread around.] ...When someone heals, they can do things like remove poisons - expel the nasty shit.

I've worked with shields before. Thought it might be worth a shot.

[Sanji will just file that slip-up away for later and continues on. He's gotta admit, that's an impressive line of thought]

Not bad. How strong do you think you can make it?

[Action]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Well, that depends. [He frowns, glaring upwards.] I don't think it's too keen on keeping out the elements. I'm hoping that won't be the case with something purely physical.

[Action]

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

[Seeing as this is totally relevant to his interests...]

If you need someone to practice against, I'm pretty sure a kick counts as "purely physical".

[Action]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

[Raising an eyebrow.] Dude, you were crushing rocks with those feet. I don't think I'm that durable yet.

[Action]

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

Lucky you don't look like a shitty rock to me.

I can hold back.

[Action]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

You wanted to try this, like... right now? I'm not sure how much control I'll be able to manage.

[Action]

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

We can try whenever you're ready.

[Action]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

So I'll just call you up all 'Hey, Sanji-san, I'm ready to be your punching bag'?

Or kicking bag. Whatever.

[Action]

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

Oi, I don't have problem with this.

[Action]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

...Try not to sound so cheerful about it.

[Action]

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

[Teasing you is so good for the soul, Isamu, and Sanji lets out the most honest smirk he's had in days.]

Try not to mention it in front of Naoki - he might have shit to say about me kicking you.

[Action]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I won't. [He might have asked Raph instead, but he knew the issues the turtle had with magic.] I don't need any lectures.

[Action]

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

[Sanji had been joking, actually, so arches a brow]

Would he really lecture you?

[Action]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

[Isamu rolls his eyes.] Nah. But he'll get all worried and shit.

[Action]

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

Can't really blame him.

But you sound like you can handle yourself.

[Action]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

[Well, he's not used to hearing THAT. Sanji gets a surprised look before the smirk returns.]

See, that's what I've been saying.

[Action]

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

[snorts. But he's got his reasons for saying what he did.

For now though... Sanji jumps out of the tree and lands next to Isamu, pulling the hood more tightly over his head]

Is Naoki living with you now?

[Action]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

[You get a wary look for that question.]

Yeah... Figured he'd told you.

[Action]

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

[He looks satisfied with the answer]

No, it didn't come up.

But glad to hear it anyway.

[Action]

[causeblocked.livejournal.com]

[It's not like he could have said no. Not when Naoki has those big puppy eyes would have been all upset about it.]

Couldn't let him stay with you and your second hand smoke.
