Not Good Enough ( Open )

[Yurie Van-Houseton]

People tend to see Yurie as the calmer, more tranquil of the three siblings. While that is true, it’s honestly not by much. He simply takes things in stride and adapts with a little more easily than his brother and sister, plus hiding emotions under a semi-blank expression is a pretty simple thing to do. Like becoming a Chaser – a nerve wracking year of painful fun that had been, even if his fellow students had told him he makes it look so easy. His powers didn’t manifest until a little after his thirteenth birthday, so control shouldn’t have been as maintained as he had over it. Maybe it was talent. Unlikely. His own intelligence, more likely. Or the fact that nearly every game he’s own had a character that was the “chosen one” with their own quest and everyone playing knows how that song & dance goes. Most likely. Learning from how they adjusted made it a lot simpler than anyone ever could if they had to outright explain it to him. Even if none of them had his exact power, Yurie could piece what he had together well enough. Sure it was tough. And terrible things have happened still…

Yet two years later, here he is. Full Chaser with his own assignments and missions to complete. People dependent on him to pull his own weight around. That kind of responsibility was … “Too much.” He muttered while slumping his shoulders in mild defeat, for someone his age it was a little much. Not that he didn’t like what he did. Plus there are other Chasers here even younger than him that have gone through much worse and done a whole lot better. Hell, he gets to spar with a number of students in the Academy, with a good number of them able to kick his ass from one side of the room to the other if he’s not careful. It was good training for getting rid of Darkness which puts him closer to his dream. Not that he could ever turn down a good challenge in general. It is why he’s waiting around here for the student that wanted some combat practice before heading home for the day after all. So it’s not all that bad.

His phone buzzed in his pocket, he dug it out and opened the new message that came in.

From: Ay

To: Yu

You’re getting stressed out again.

Over nothing!

He smiled fondly at the message that lit up his phone’s screen. Always like her to worry over him.

The door opened, Yurie slipped his phone back into his jacket’s pocket. “Just in time.” He said with a welcoming smile. “Anything in particular you wanted to work on?” He was no combat expert, maybe skilled at using weaponry and his defense and evasive stats aren’t nothing to laugh at, but not specialized in any area like the other Full Chasers were. He was only decent in most other areas. Barely good enough to pass. That was fine. Yurie loved to help others refine their powers and skills, find out the kinks and ways to fix them. He didn’t need to be great to do that. Just durable.

Kristina got help with Dream to be set up with a sparring partner, she didn't know who it was though. She slowly made her way towards the gym, after choosing her clothes carefully, she was wearing a long green sleeve shirt with blue jeans. Her high heels were still her favorite choice of shoes. It wouldn't do her any good to play dress up if in the real world she got stuck fighting, it would be so much easier to be dressed in the clothes she was likely to fight in. She made very little contact with Isidore, not meeting his family yet, but she would soon. Her brothers were murdered and that is why she was here, so that she could train to become stronger so that she wouldn't die. She also wanted to get better control over her water element and the only way to do that was to train.

She pulled the door open and stepped inside, one normally was tired from being by the pool all day practicing her water element, but she was surprisingly refreshed, ready for more practice else where. A male stood across from her and claimed that she was just in time, he would notice that she wasn't a student, not yet anyway. She smiled back at him, It is impossible to be late when I'm already here. However, I would surprise myself if I was ever late to something on accident. She just nods her head to him since he had said she was just on time, he didn't need to know that she was by the pool most of the day. If anybody tried using it though they would come to realize she had been the one hogging it. His question had caught her off guard, "I would like to work with weapon sparring."

Her first choice would be to throw daggers but that wasn't a good choice for sparring so perhaps one could start out using sticks or swords. Seeing as she wasn't a student yet, he would come to realize what powers she had, the skill of combat, and of course what all she needed help working on. She pulled out her phone and turned it off, clearly more interested in her training than over a possible text message. "I'll let you choose though, seeing as my coming here was unexpected." She stated as she stood across from him, ready to start when he was. Her water powers was still out of control but at least she wasn't currently leaking water from her hands as she had been when her powers first showed up.

[Yurie Van-Houseton]

The girl that stood before him now wasn't who he had been expecting exactly. Not that there was anything wrong with girls wanting to spar with him or anything. They turned out to be better, faster thinkers in the battlefield anyway. But when Dream mentioned that someone needed some help with combat... he thought it'd be a student from the Academy. Oh well, it's not his place to question motives. And if she's hear then it meant there's potential for her to be a Chaser.

“Weapons huh.” If Yurie had to guess, she looked like someone who preferred long range type of gear. Not a great choice for a first sparring match. But something to keep in mind for a later practice. Right now though, he needed to know what he was working with before doing anything like sword vs. gun stuff. He thought a bit on what they should start off with. Probably best to start with a bamboo sword. Something simple and lightweight. Walking over to the storage he shuffled around some of the equipment to get at what he needed. The heavier and more dangerous equipment located more towards the front since most that used the battle field like to just demolish each other while the practice type made its home in the back. He dug around until he found the practice swords he was looking for. “There we go.” A triumphant smile on his lips as he walked back towards the girl.

He handed her one of the swords. “Don’t worry about it. Think of it as… me doing my job. ...Or something like that.” And that’s really what this was. “I’m Yurie, by the way. Nice to meet you.” The young male wasn’t cut out to be a mentor. Teaching others a refined way to hunt was hard when he himself only just started out not that long ago and not a good idea in his honest opinion. It’d end in failure for sure. But what he could do was help others narrow down their strengths and weaknesses so once they did have their mentors, they’d know what they could bring to the table and what needed to be smoothed out a little better. “I’m sort of assuming you don’t know anything about fighting with a sword, right?” He confessed as he backed up a bit to put some distance between him and the girl, getting into a fighting stance.

Oh, he’s forgetting something though. It almost slipped his mind since he had been expecting a student from the academy at first. “How about powers?” he asked, dropping his stance, needing to get a feel of what kind of combatant he had and what would really benefit her in the end. If her powers could enhance her fighting ability then it’d be good to know. If she had no powers then he'd take it down a notch and go easy on her.

Kristina found herself smiling when he asked about her choice in choosing weapons, "Yup." She answered him back when she saw him walk away to a storage. She couldn't help but wonder which seemed more fitting, a light sword or a heavier one, a light sword could be held with one hand or two depending on how she chose to hold it, the heavier sword would do more damage but would require to hands if she was even able to hold that much weight in the first place. She was pulled out of her thoughts when she heard his words and noticed him coming back with a bamboo sword in his hand. She took the sword in her hand, feeling how heavy it was. I think I could handle something slightly heavier than this... "Well if it makes you feel any better, I promise I'm not going to be wasting your time." She paused, "It's nice to meet you Yurie, I'm Kristina, but I like going by Kris."

His words caught her off guard but she smiled, "That is correct." She first got into her normal stance but quickly corrected herself to mimic as he had done. "I've never sparred with a weapon in my hand before." It was strange, preparing to spar with a weapon in her hand. The weight wouldn't slow her by much but it would slow her down none the less, once she got used to holding it in her hands it would become much easier to pick up her speed again. His words caught her off guard, "Water element is the only one as far as I'm aware." She didn't even know it was possible for her to get more than that, but he was the one to suggest it, so she might as well give him that type of answer. "In fact, I sure hope you weren't one of the view hoping for the pool earlier today, because I was using it."

Another smile on her lips at the thought of having it to herself, but it was for their safety they hadn't been in there because she didn't want anybody drowning on her count of moving the pool water around. A thought crossed her mind, "Don't go easy on me." She had shifted in her stance but corrected it once more. "It won't be the same if you don't give it you'll all when I win." She of course was teasing but meant it at the same time. She like a good challenge, it meant that she would get all the more practice. "Did you want to see my water element first? Or how terrible I am with this sword?" Seeing as she has never fought with a weapon before it would make her fighting somewhat different but at the same time she hoped to increase her endurance pain level.

I can't take hits as I have once done, with a sword I'm bound to lose a limb if I do that.... so I'll be forced to block my moves with this sword as well. She got out of her stance, deciding she would test how this sword felt as she moved with it. One could tell that she wasn't used to holding a sword as she moved, but that there was a hint of her being experienced in combat. When she was done she moved herself back into her stance. Just remember to use the sword to block and not a body part.... the last thing I want is to lose it.

[Yurie Van-Houseton]

“I doubt you are, Kris.” Yurie hummed in amusement. “I mean, if you’re willing to learn then that’s never a waste to me.” Heck, she might surprise him and be a really great fighter for all he knew. That would be nice. No one had much of the time to spar, much to Yurie’s own dismay, at least not the ones actually on his level at any rate. Most were busy with this and that, Chaser stuff and the random assignments. Which made things a little boring. Of course the guys would every now and then humor him, but it’s no fun if they didn’t have that competitive fire over sparring matches like he did.

He waved the practice sword a bit. “Are you more used to hand-to-hand fighting then?” A fist fight wasn’t something he was unfamiliar with but since he’s more of the dodge and sabotage sort, he didn’t have an accurate reading on that type of fighting. “Or long range?” If she was better at that kind of style then she’d be more suited to fighting with a team than going off on her own unless she wanted to do scouting type of work.

Yurie tilted his head a bit in curiosity. The pool? Ah, now that she mentioned it. There had been some talk about a girl getting the pool reserved for a set time today. Something about uncontrolled powers and safety issues surrounding them. “Oh!” He frowned a bit as he thought it over. “The only one, huh.” Water element is a pretty board type of power to have. It’s a full element after all. He vaguely wondered if she would eventually be able to tap into the sub-types of it like ice and blood. Or maybe she’d develop a new element all of its own. Now that’s one person he wouldn’t want to make an enemy of. “You sure know how to draw some attention.” He whistled, thinking about the subtle tremors he’d felt a little while ago. It had to be from the water movement. But he grinned. “I’m not much for swimming to be honest so you sure aren’t hurting my feelings if you use it all day.”

He paused a bit. “How much control do you have over it exactly?” He muttered out. To close out the pool entirely from other students wasn’t a good sign. It was a little worrying actually. Something told him that he really should get a better gauge of how well she could control it before getting into a full on fight with her but instead he pushed that worry to the back burner of his mind.

A laugh escaped his lips. “Sure are confident.” Yurie really liked the older girl. Honestly he hoped that she’d become a Chaser sooner rather than later. It’d be fun to have someone around that wanted an active challenge as much as he did. Normally he’d make it a rule to play nice with the non-students but since she asked personally, well… can’t say no to that. He thought over what they should do first and finally settled on sparring practice coming before his investigative search over her power. “Sword first, powers later?” Hopefully this won’t back fire in his face and her water element blast him back into the wall. Well, he’d just have to be on guard for that possibility, too.

“Ready?” As soon as she was, he sidestepped and attacked her unprotected side. Miraculously, she’d managed to block his attack in the nick of time. “Awesome job.” He complimented her before backing up and getting ready for another swing, one too fast for her to see.

Kristina just smiled back at Yurie, he was right, she wasn't going to be wasting his time. She was pulled from her thoughts when he asked her a question, "Yes, I am more of a hand to hand, I've never fought with a weapon before so it is new to me." She paused, "I'm skilled at combat." Yes she would tell him, she would punch, kick, use her arms as shields, to help herself win. She would even pull the other towards her by grabbing their arm to pin it behind their back. Anything went when she was in one of her fighting modes. "I've never fought long range before." So it will be weird using my water element as such. "I've fought long range only once, I personality don't like the distance."She paused, "But you can't have Darkness to close else they will rip you apart."

Her reason for coming to him for practice in weapons. "I suppose I might be good at dagger throwing if I gave it a chance since I can throw darts pretty well, I just don't see myself liking long range." So why start now. She thought to herself before allowing another small smile to fall on her face. "As far as I know." She nods her head, hearing that many others get more than one power, but she happened to only have one for right now. "Sadly that is a true fact that I am well aware of." He didn't even know the half of it, but that wasn't something she was going to jump into telling him. "Oh? You should be, swimming is just so much fun." Was she trying to get him jealous? Maybe a little bit.

His question had caught her off guard, "I'll have to show you in a little bit. It is sort of hard to explain." She paused, "We can go in the pool area so that you can see for yourself." She noticed his look, "I'm not dangerous, I just don't want anybody falling in...." She sighed, "While I move the water in there around." Well at least now he knew that was one of the few thing she could do with her power. "You bet." She answered him back, all about getting the competition going. "Yes." Mostly because they were in here and not the pool area, and because she did have the sword in her hand already.

She nods her head as she gets in her stance. He swung for her unprotected side and she used her sword to block it. It was just pure luck, she wasn't even sure if she would block it fast enough. His words distracted her as he backed up and swung again. She moved the sword towards his, hoping to hit it as was coming towards her but she missed. She took a step back as she thought of where she wanted to go with this. Not bad.... my turn now. She wasn't used to fighting with a sword, but his move gave her a good idea of how she wanted to move with it. She moved the sword as she swung, hoping to get him on his unprotected side.

[Yurie Van-Houseton]

"Good point. But long range takes a little longer to get rid of them." Not that there aren't ridiculously powerful long range attacks that would blast someone into space, looking at you Son Goku, but they tend to be more on the hit & miss sort of variation. Plus for a good number of people they like the feel of close combat. That heavy weight of slamming your weapon directly into that Brute's face and watching it recoil in pain. It's just a really awesome feeling to know you can have that kind of power. He then shrugged. "It's good to know how to fight in any range but eventually you'll find your niche and get comfortable in it."

"You might not like long range but it's still good to try it out." He emphasized. "Actually I kind of encourage long range with a power like water element." Using water against Darkness like that seemed like a more beneficial route. Attacking with its massive power in a number of directions while still being far enough to not get caught up in it. "More so if you don't have great control over it. Safety and all that." He reasoned to her. Long range really did sound like it would suit her. "Not to say you still don't need to learn weapon combat or anything."  

He waved off her comment. "No way. Swimming and me don't mix well." While he wasn't an awful swimmer & didn't have a fear of the water exactly, he isn't fond of the notion of possibly drowning. 

Yurie saw that spark of an idea in her eyes. An amused grin on his face while he parried her attack and sent it away from him. "Not bad, but need to think of your own attack." Copying other's attack patterns was his thing, and he sure wasn't going to be falling into his own like that. They fought and fought for what seemed like hours but were only mere minutes. Kris wasn't at all awful with the sword, she even managed to land a few blows. But if Yurie was good at one thing it's this - dodging and counterattacks.  When Kris saw any chance of an opening, Yurie quickly corrected himself and blocked any incoming attack. When Yurie went in for a hit, Kris blocked and swung through with blunt force.

"I win. 12 to 9." The younger male wiped his brow, smiling proudly. "You're not awful with a sword, to be honest." She needed some work here and there, maybe refine her technique and how she choose to swing but that's easily fixed. Hell, she'd probably be able to kick his ass with a few weeks of practice and sparring. 

"You said you aren't dangerous, if you have to close a pool down just to practice then it sort of means you are." She can't control it and that can lead to some serious consequences if she didn't get it together. He placed his bamboo sword to the side before pulling out a water bottle. "Ok, so before heading to the pool to show me what you can really do..." He opened the bottle. "Just let me see what you can do with this much water." Yurie's arms colored to that cosmic latte of space and stars. "If you can't do anything unless it's a giant pool of water then we'll do a different kind of weapon training." He didn't know the extent of her power, what she could do, or how much of the water she could control. Conjuring up a punching dumb of bright stardust, he moved it a few feet back from where Kris stood. "Try to hit it with just the water." 

[Deleted]

Kristina nods her head in agreement. "I suppose it is a good thing I'm learning to use a sword but have water as a backup." She stated not really worried about the practice that would be needed to get better at it. "I'm not bothered if I get a little bit wet." She answered him back though he had a point, but most of the time she didn't use her water for a weapon, more of a defense. She huffed when he was talking about the safety of her power. "I'm not worried." She brushed him off, If it becomes a problem I'll just practice more often. She thought to herself as they started talking about the pool. "Aww why is that?" She asked, tempted to show him some water right now.

The subject switched over to their fighting, it was easy for her to figure out what to do when she copied him. Though she only did that sometimes, but he always managed to block and counter. There were a few moves that she used as if she were planing on attacking from the one side before moving the sword to try for a clear cut instead. He was pretty good at dodging though and it seemed like he could read her every move. When he pulled back she did the same, hearing him call it 12 to 9. Next time it will be the other way around.... She took in a breath before smiling over at him. "I surprised myself, though you aren't so bad either."

It was all that combat training, if she had learned how to use a weapon earlier she might have beat him or come pretty close. The topic was once more about the pool and how she claimed she wasn't dangerous even though she had the pool closed. She laughed, "I don't have to close the pool down, I opted for it to be closed." She answered him back, "I don't picture anybody wanting to be in there when the pool is busy by me." She answered, "Though I suppose if one didn't mind a little bit of a risk they would be in there too. I just don't care to invite anybody is all." She set her bamboo sword on the floor as she watched him hold the water bottle in his hand.

"If you insist." She waited for him to tell her what exactly he wanted her to do. Boy are you going to be surprised. She lifted her hand into the air, forcing the water out of the water bottle. She brought the water towards her, perhaps she was showing off just a little bit. She noticed the star dust coming from his arms before it conjured up a punching dumb. She threw the water towards the dumb, hitting it in the chest since that was the biggest part of the body. She frowned and noticed Yurie's face expression, so she created a water ball and threw it at his face. "Much better." At least that time she got where she was aiming.

[Yurie Van-Houseton]

“You should be.” Even if someone with good control of their powers should be worried about safety. One wrong move and heavy damage could be dealt to an unintended target. “I’m not saying your incompetent or anything if you don’t have control, it’s just something you should have at the back of your mind.” When he first used his powers, he burnt his hands because he didn’t know enough. When he first used Supernovae in combat, he almost lost control and nearly went supernova had his mentor not slammed some sense into him to get him to calm down.

Of most the Chasers, Yurie was one of the ones that was better at handling Razors and their extreme speed. Reading their moves and countering a fraction before they moved into place was a skill he had developed quickly, though their unpredictability and ways of switching it up caught him off guard on occasion. Swarms were his worst, too much going on at once that he feels like he’s drowning. Which is just an awful feeling. “You’ll get better than me.” He stated in a matter of fact tone. “Though it’ll be a while.” He’d have his fun with matches until then though. If she was serious about weapon training and eventually becoming a student then she’d easily get better than him. Speaking of though, “Why did you want weapon training anyway?” What was her reason for fighting, he wondered.

“Water’s plenty dangerous even without someone trying to manipulate it.” He reasoned out with a small shrug. Whirlpools, eddies, tsunamis, yea water was already dangerous on its own. Yurie grinned. “We all chase after Darkness. Willingly.” He was pretty sure she could easily find a number of students and Chasers that would more than love to jump at the chance of braving something like partially control powers at the pool. Yurie, himself, would admit that the idea was sort of tempting. "I'd go myself but Aylin would probably kick my ass if I did. Not to mention Nicolette would follow just to watch me drown. Izzy might too if he were allowed in." He sighed. 

Yurie watched as Kris pulled the water out effortlessly. The motion reminded of water benders on Avatar. Surprisingly, she had a good handle on the small amount of water. He furrowed his brows, then a bigger source was harder for her because of the sheer vast amount she would have to work on probably. He mulled the thought over, thinking of how he would be able to incorporate her powers into a sparring match, not at all paying enough attention to Kris until it was too late and a ball of water splashed into his face.

He scrunched his nose before shaking the water off his face and out of his hair. “Rude. My face is just as good without water.” He shivered a bit at the sudden cold chill he got. “Thanks for the refreshing water.  Though... Controlling water is all you can do?" He asked, wondering if she could also change the state of it. If she could solidify it into ice or dissipate it into gas then maybe he could work with that. 

[Deleted]

Kristina sighed, "Well I do have the pool area locked, but I'm not thinking it is much to worry about...." She answered him back, figuring it would be a matter of time before her power was in check completely. "Oh it is in my mind." She answered him back, not bothered by his comment. When he asked why she needed weapons training she gave her answer. "I am good at combat, I like being up close to my target. I can't see myself lasting very long if I don't have a weapon I'm using against them because they would be getting me instead." She stated, not about to change her answer. "I may not be a Chaser, but I want to be able to kill Darkness if I see it." She answered, figuring it was a good enough answer for now. My brothers would have wanted it that way.

She was pulled from her thoughts when he said that water was plenty dangerous and that was without somebody like her trying to manipulate it. She was pulled from her thoughts as he named a few people, she didn't know Aylin or Nicolette, but him mentioning an Izzy made her think Isidore for some reason. "Izzy? As in Isidore?" She asked, unaware that they were brothers, she was unaware that Nicolette was his sister. "I wouldn't let you drown." She answered, trying to comfort him. Thoughts of Isidore were in her mind and how she still had to meet up to work on the project with him. After the Valentine's party, after everything going on.... that will be the best time to play catch up....

She found herself smiling when he said that was rude and how his face was just as good without it. "I can't argue with that." She confessed before looking at him when he asked his question. "As far as I know, I can only control water...." She hadn't noticed any chance of extra things towards her water element just yet. "Anyways, you wanted to see what all I could do.... lets go to the pool area right now." She answered before walking out of the room, towards the hall, and into the pool area. She glanced over to see if he was there before she lifted her hand up to move the water in the pool. It was hard to control, trying to move such a huge amount of water.

Her end goal would be for the purpose of using the amount of water like a shield, not trying to drown her opponent. This amount of water would keep bullets from getting her, but much more powerful weapons would likely leave an impact on her. When she was finished showing off, she lowered her hand, watching the water coming to a rest before forcing herself to sit down. If she didn't she would have lost her balance. She was feeling light headed after using so much energy on their sparring, to moving small portion of water before throwing a water ball at him to moving such large amount of water. "My goal is to use it like a shield."

She stated, "But I can't create that much water in one go, so I would have to be in an area to move it from, like a pool, maybe some water from the ocean, or like from a fountain or something." She took in another breath as she tried being patient in gaining her energy back. Boy was she tired and their session wasn't even done just yet. "What else did you want to know?" She asked, bringing it up since she was in here.

[Yurie Van-Houseton]

That isn’t quite the answer that he was looking for. In fact, it worried him slightly. Not much, Kris seemed like the type that could easily kick ass when it came down to it. “Close combat isn’t always the right idea though.” Yurie could think a number of times where a Chaser went full frontal against a Brute. Brains over brawn would have been a much better choice. Distance over up close and personal. “Why do you want to kill Darkness?” The answer Yurie got was always the same, he was no different. They took, they hurt, they destroyed someone I care for. “Nevermind, sorry for asking something like that. It’s really not my business.” He smiled apologetically.

“Hm?” He tilted his head. Oh, did she know him? A protective sense surged within Yurie. While Isidore was the oldest, he was also the clumsiest and got hurt so easily. Now he had to observe this girl. How did she know Izzy? Maybe they met in passing. Maybe they went to school together. Maybe, and this was the more likely of his guesses, Izzy tried to woo the poor girl. Thinking over the many ways that this girl could be connected to his big brother got him to think about a few things like… just when was the last time that he and his siblings sat down and just talked about how school and life was going. “Did you mention something?” He’d feigned ignorance and passed over her question about the mentioned name. He grinned, “While that’s a comforting thought, she’d still kick my ass for being reckless about it.”

He sneezed. The target dummy dissipated from its spot and a small star blipped into existence drifting back to its creator. Yurie used its heat to dry off and warm up a bit while he followed Kris towards the pool. Her control over water wasn’t awful, her aim was on par, the duration is what she needed to work on before doing anything fancy with it. He kept somewhat close, noticing that all the usage of her powers was starting to get to her. Watching as she moved the large body of water, he thought it over. “A shield huh.” Water wasn’t good for a shield. Not unless she could turn it into ice. Practicality-wise she’d need to limit how much water she’d carry unless she could pull it from the air itself. “To use it like that, you’d be at a disadvantage carrying a weapon along too.” He voiced out his thought. “Even if you can use water at hand from other sources, Darkness won’t always appear where you want them to.” Which obviously Kris would know something like that. “Not to mention the type you go up against.” A brute might stick around but a razor would lead her as far as possible while a swarm would just surround her until she was too distracted to focus. “You could probably deflect an attack but outright shielding yourself… that’s a skill that might not come easy.” Training or not.

“Sit down, first off.” They were done for the moment, Kris looked like she really needed a breather and Yurie sure wasn’t gonna risk running her into the ground from fatigue. “Not much else, really. You aren’t a terrible fighter.” In fact, he had had so much fun sparring in a while. Most Chasers his level were either expert combatants and Yurie stood no chance against them or they had no time to do so when he did. “Your powers do need work but now that I’ve seen it in action, it’s nothing a few weeks at the academy won’t help.” She’d be an excellent Chaser once she got the hang of things.

[Deleted]

Kristina sighed, "It wouldn't be bad to have experience in it however." She stated, opting to not say much more on the comment. Yurie then asked why she wanted to kill Darkness but before she could answer he started apologizing to her for asking. "I want to be in their way of hurting anybody else." She stated, willing to give more answer but not willing to do it unless he asked. The way that he looked at her when he said, hm. Made her believe she had been correct on the subject. "As matter in a fact I had." She stated, making sure he was looking at him she stated. "I know Isidore. He is in my classes." Might as well tell him. The subject was changed to how it would be comforting but Aylin would still kick his ass. She laughed lightly, "Your loss." Note to self, keep on eye on this one, he seems overly focused on wanting to know how I know Isidore. I gave him a truthful answer but I can't help but feel like it might come up again in the near future.

When they had moved to the pool area she had shown him what she could do with the water. "I wasn't using the water as a shield against Darkness. It was just something I was working on since I could move the water around." She remembered her aunt so well, it would benefit her to be able to use the water as a shield if anything like that were to happen again. As for the darkness, she was happy with the idea of knowing how to use a sword, but keeping her distance with daggers and her water element. "For my water element, I see myself maybe using it from a distance if at all." Yes she had said 'if' she wasn't completely sure if she wanted to use that power or not. "Though since I can control big bodies of water, it might be not a bad idea to use it as an offense every once in a while." She wasn't completely sure what she wanted to do with it just yet. All she knew was that she wanted to be able to move the water with much more ease.

He told her to sit down and she did just that, he then started speaking. "I'll have to consider transferring then." She stated, as she had told him before she wasn't a student yet. As she had said, Isidore was her class mate. Yurie would know that since she mentioned it to him. "You look like your about to spy on me." She laughed, clearly opting to mess around with him because well why not. Another thought had crossed her mind, she needed to meet up with Isidore over the school project. Crap.... She pulled her phone out of her pocket to see if she got any messages, of course she had. She sent them back, trying to set up a date to meet up with him but this week would be bad for her. Unaware that next week would be just as bad. With the Valentine's party happening in the next couple of days she wasn't able to work on the project with him.

Even out of breath she was ready for another go if needed be, it was clear she wasn't going to answer any questions about Isidore. "I did mention he is a fellow student." She smiled, feeling like her energy was slowly but surely returning. "If you want to know more, you'll just have to ask Isidore himself." Talk about trying to freak out the younger brother. His face expression was priceless, her reason for doing it in the first place. "Isidore is a friend." She explained finally, figuring that Yurie could use a break from her messing around. "In fact, my reason for not jumping to switch schools." Okay so maybe she thought he was a little more than a friend. Yurie didn't need to hear that coming out of her mouth anyway.
