*Stands behind her house, in a cleared space in all the snow. Her coat is discarded a few feet away. After a moment, she starts a series of quick movements, obviously a practiced pattern*

[[ooc: Feel free to interrupt her, or come by and watch~]]

*As not-rapistystalkerish as Itsuki ever is, he "conveniently" has found himself near Sheena's house, a smile (as usual) plastered on his face*

[corrinesbell]

*She chooses to ignore him, and continue with what she's doing*

[quitemysterious.livejournal.com]

*Itsuki, seemingly carelessly, takes a seat on the ground, watching the ninja work.*

[corrinesbell]

*a sharp knife strikes the exposed dirt near his left hand. If he looks up from it, he's also the subject of a harsh glare*

[quitemysterious.livejournal.com]

Itsuki picks up the knife and proceeds to start twirling it between his fingers, still smiling*
Not distracting you, am I?

[moonstone-curse.livejournal.com]

Sheena?

((OOC: Why, yes, Allen's going to display sad icons non-stop. >.>))

[corrinesbell]

*slows down just a bit*

Allen?

[moonstone-curse.livejournal.com]

Sheena...

Lavi...

Lavi was...

she'd be more sympathetic if she wasn't so ANGRY

[corrinesbell]

I know.

*picks up her speed again*

It has to stop, somehow. Something needs to be done. *to herself, really*

[moonstone-curse.livejournal.com]

*watches, trying to take his mind off of his own helplessness*

[taking a break from the carving, and as he's going around the back of the house to do... something I dunno, he spots Sheena over behind her house]

Hey, Sheena! What's up?

[corrinesbell]

*stops at his voice, trying not to look guilty*

Well, I thought about it, and you had a point, about other weapons. Especially if I can't get the power from my cards than I used to.

So I'm practicing.

[Lloyd's a little concerned that she's pushing herself too much, but that's driven out of his head by the WHOA SHARP OBJECTS BEING THROWN AROUND AWESOME of the scene before him]

Throwing knives, huh? That's pretty cool!

[corrinesbell]

They're kinda more for close combat than for throwing, but they work that way too. There were only two at the shop that seemed useful, though, so I can't exactly keep throwing them at things.

[kid-in-red.livejournal.com]

That's too bad. But at least you found something that'll work for you.

*was walking by to finally get some groceries since Senel doesn't shop nearly enough when she spotted Sheena, so slowly moves closer until she's a few yards away and simply watches silently*

[corrinesbell]

*knows Stella's there, so she stops for a few minutes, turning to face her*

[goldenfirefly.livejournal.com]

*takes a step closer and offers Sheena a small smile* Hello, Sheena. May I ask what you're doing?

[corrinesbell]

I'm practicing. My usual weapons don't work, so I have to get better with something else.

[goldenfirefly.livejournal.com]

With... *tilts her head to the side to see the weapon Sheena's practicing with* ...knives? Maybe I should try my hand at wielding a weapon... *clasps her hands behind her back as she steps closer, deciding to keep her eyes on the snow* Are you going after someone?

*Albert is out and about because though he managed to get himself back home on his own, he really does not want to be around Lloyd right now. Grar. Rooming with your enemy sucks. He's wearing a thick green cloak and carrying a long straight stick and looking--actually rather annoyed for him, which would translate to mildly annoyed for normal facial-expressions.*

*And he's certainly not going to interrupt, but he did promise Sheena he'd visit sometime. :D*

[corrinesbell]

*nods to Albert, not really slowing down in her motions*

Nice to see you got back okay.

[gustofwinddance.livejournal.com]

*Albert's apparent annoyance vanishes, and he smiles and bows, wincing slightly. Ah, the pain of good manners. :D*

Lady Sheena. I must apologize again for attempting to mislead you, I truly didn't want you to worry unnecessarily...

*Yes. He really does talk like that. :D*

[corrinesbell]

*notices his flinch when he bows and frowns*

Don't bother apologizing, you really don't have to. ...Do you, uh, wanna come inside and sit down, or something?

*flustered by his manners :D*

[gustofwinddance.livejournal.com]

*let's pretend that didn't happen!*

I wouldn't want to detract from your practices.

*smiley-smile. You'll get used to it eventually Sheena. You'll kinda have to, 'cause he has three settings--polite, ultra-polite, and politely indifferent.*
