Run It Again [Fuuen/Elyss Mk. 2]

Mon Dec 30, 2019 6:28 pm

Fuuen

Perhaps surprisingly, this wasn't the first time Fuuen had been to Minatumi Harbor. It was, however, the first time he had been since it was placed under new management. Frankly, the place was absolutely lovely now. A relatively quiet place to be, though decidedly bustling enough to make it a destination worth traveling to. Well, that might have come out poorly. Any place could be worth traveling to, couldn't it? It simply had to do with the specifics...

And just what were the specifics, hm? Well, if he had to summarize his feelings in a single word, Fuuen would call the Harbor...comfortable. It had a certain charm to it that he couldn't quite place. What was it, exactly? It felt like home, in a sense, though he found that to be almost unsettling, in a way. He had nowhere he considered “home,” he was simply the wind, going wherever suited him. To find a place that felt like “home...”

Well, it wouldn't do to just stand around getting more and more uncomfortable by the moment. Finding the nearest stall that looked as though it would have everything he wanted, Fuuen took a seat, giving a nod and a small smile to the proprietor. He looked the menu over with only the briefest of glances, already having a fairly good idea of what he wanted, and that glance just reaffirmed that they had it. Wasn't that pleasant? Perhaps this really was quite the nice place, after all.

“Mabo udon and a sweet potato shochu, please.”

“Water and a menu!”

Fuuen would find himself joined by an unexpected individual as Elyss makes her way into the stand stealing one of the many seats, only a two seat gap between her and the lone male. The redhead stretched right there on the spot raising her arms up placing one behind her head as her back arched. Obviously, if Fuuen knew anything about Shinigami, he’d instantly notice the black uniform of hers accompanied by twin katanas at her side stabilized by the white sash around her waist. He should also notice the faint scene of musk coming from her; a light layer of sweat decorating her pale skin hinting that this red headed stranger has just returned from training somewhere within or outside of the harbour.

Elyss has just returned from a bout near the home of Ulv training on her lonesome in basic martial arts and even decided to try and swing her twin swords a bit. In all honesty, she wanted to get better in all areas to better perform her Shinigami duties. She knows her skills aren’t where they should be in terms of all things Shinigami, and she decided to dedicate herself to getting those skills down pact. Besides getting stronger is something she’s always enjoyed. It’s also a necessity for her. She can’t allow herself to stay behind everyone forever. That… That is too heavy a blow to her self esteem, and such a thing shant weigh her down for too long.

Her stony onyx gaze flicks to Fuuen instantly recognizing him as a spirit in the mortal realm. Though, she says nothing, seeing as such a thing is somewhat common in the harbour. Her gaze simply falls back onto the menu handed to her as her fingers wrap around the glass before her bringing it to her lips gulping down the whole glass in one sitting placing it down with a heavy sigh.

“Refill please…”

Fuuen

Fuuen's gaze almost immediately turned to the redhead who had taken seat at the roadside stall. Two blades, the uniform of a shinigami. Judging from her current state, he would assume that she had just finished a bout of practice. Immediately, he found himself imagining the countless forms that she could potentially have been in. The infinite ways she might have used her body... Very interesting, indeed.

"Do be careful not to drink too quickly, hm? Your body can only absorb water so fast. Too much and you'll make yourself sick."

A brief bit of advice, given with a faint smile. Fuuen took another sip of his shochu, enjoying the subtle burn of it, before returning to his udon. This burn was not subtle in the slightest, but that was perhaps what made it so appealing.

Her eyes move from the menu in her hand to the man beside her. Again, she studied him, but unlike last time, she actually takes the time to take note of specifics. For one, he carried a large blade on his back. Instinctively, she felt her guard rise. Though, there is no visible sign of this. If anything, knowing that this is Ulv’s home, Elyss has no reason to feel threatened by this man; especially considering his disarming smile, small as it may be. Sadly, Elyss is far from returning said friendliness as she turns her gaze back to the menu throwing it down with a sigh on the counter.

“Miso Tonkotsu.”

She orders lifting her refilled glass to her lips, and showing that she did pay heed to the advice given, she sips from it slowly taking only a second before placing the glass down. A third time, her eyes move to the strange swordsman. His drink is clearly something alcoholic, but she has little knowledge of such drinks. Hmm… She feels this individual has a cliche air about him, something akin to a wandering swordsman who likes to drink a lot. Undoubtedly, his skills are, without a doubt, spectacular to watch and terrifying to be on the receiving end of. It sparks a curiosity within her that vocalizes itself.

“Oddly long blade you wear. Might scare the tourists.”

Somewhat hypocritical coming from an individual dressed the way she is with twin katanas, but obviously she speaks in a jesting manner as a lazy smirk pulls at her cheeks.

Fuuen

"Might it now? I had thought this place rather safe, particularly if there are shinigami on patrol in the area."

If she wished to jest, then Fuuen was certainly capable of doing so in turn. He turned more noticeably now, quite definitely studying her with some degree of interest. His gaze was, however, not aimed anywhere that could really be called "suggestive," nor was his expression as he did so. He was simply sizing her up, judging what he could through the admittedly troublesome shihakusho.

"The tourists need not worry, regardless. This sword is not for violence, or some silly tool of my desire. It is for artistic expression, nothing more."

Shinigami patrolling. With Ulv as the mayor, Elyss feels that Shinigami are the least of anyone’s problems. Though, it is funny to be thought of as a capable guardian even if in jest. Too bad she’s not actually on patrol. Noting the gaze thrown her way, she doesn’t give the man much knowledge on her looks besides the parts of herself that are impossible to hide such as her upper half. The bagginess of her outfit really helps on making her seem less than what she actually is. She didn’t even bite back either considering the man seemed more about his craft than the bodies of women or men.

“Artistic expression? I have heard that some see their fighting styles as art, but you seem different from that. However, despite your words against violence, no doubt you are fully capable of defending yourself if left without any choice.”

That’s just how life is. Survival of the fittest. It doesn’t matter if you wish to not fight. Eventually, something will drag you into a situation you’d rather not be in. Elyss has come to accept and expect that much from life.

Fuuen

His gaze lasted for a good long while, before he simply found himself satisfied. Well, not satisfied, per se, but as satisfied as he could be with seeing her in her current state of dress. Ideally her attire would be all together removed, but that would not be realistic in this setting. A shame.

"I am fully capable of such, yes. But I would prefer not to solve my problems through combat. It is distasteful to shed the blood of others, even out of necessity."

Down the rest of his shochu went, and he tapped the counter to ask for another. It was certainly true that Fuuen had slain those who tried to kill him, but it was never something he relished. It only made him feel dirty, and caused him a certain degree of spite toward those who had attacked him in the first place, for forcing him to engage in violence at all.

This man’s eyes are stuck to her. Artistic? Ah yes. That explains it. He’s trying to get an idea for her figure isn’t he? Normally, that thought would sour her mood, but he doesn’t seem the type to be keen on wanting to hit on her just because she is in good shape. Though, first impressions can be deceptive. With a sigh, she felt like making a vocal note of it, but her bowl of ramen arrived just then right at the moment he turned his gaze away. Removed isn’t entirely true, for her continued to gaze upon her for conversation, but now, his eyes were trying to undress her.

“Violence is needed in the world. Yes. It would be better to not need it to solve issues, but sometimes, it’s the only thing people will listen to.”

She detests violence, but at the same time, she finds a strange joy from it. She’d have hoped she’d have pinpointed why by now, but still, it eludes her. She knows she likes challenges, but she just doesn’t understand why she enjoys taking it as far as she does. Maybe she’s just a sore loser. Either way, she can understand this man a tad bit, but she knows she’s not a pacifist at all.

“Who are you anyway long swordsman? You’re the first I’ve met so appalled with violence.”

Fuuen

"You may be right. But if you are, then I will leave that violence in the hands of others. Whether necessary or not, I am not the one who wishes to make that judgement."

Fuuen set down the glass of shochu, following it with a long drink of the spice-filled broth left in his bowl. He drank deep of it, leaving only a small bit to accompany the last few noodles. In truth, he was trying to remember his own name, but covering that recollection with a casual action.

"Ah, Fuuen. I am simply a wandering artist, I suppose."

“I guess that’s where we differ. I hate bullies, can’t stand to see someone picked on just because they can’t fight back. Why should the weak suffer because the strong doesn’t care enough?”

She picks up the chopsticks in her bowl and bows her head a bit to thank the owner for serving her. Then, she is quick to dig out a handful of noodles and slurp them down using the chopsticks to keep the stream of slippery dough from getting out of hand. Well then. She seems to be lacking somewhat in the manners department when it comes to proper food etiquette, but her enthusiasm seems to put a small smile on the owner’s face. It must feel nice to see someone eat your cooking in such a way.

“It is nice to meet you Fuuen. I am Elyss… Kishimoto Elyss.” She responds after taking such a hefty serving of her meal and gives the man a large smile that pronounces her cheeks and makes whatever hardness her face held when they first met a few seconds ago feel akin to a far off memory. Something akin to pulling cold dough out of the freezer and kneading it into something soft and delectable. None would think her the scary warrior she tries to make herself seem. Though, her youthful expression comes and goes as she sighs and pokes in her bowl grabbing a piece of pork.

“I wish I didn’t have to use violence. I try to go about things calmly and give the person a choice, but most of the time they would rather injure everyone around them than listen to reason. A tiresome cycle, but if I didn’t stand between the evil and the weak, just imagine how much worse the world would be around us.”

Her mind drifts to her own issues with violence which causes her face to fall slightly in worry. Imagining a peaceful world and knowing how far off such a thing actually is can really depress a person who wishes for everyone to be happy.
