[ 1. Under New Management ]

[ Shu's time most often these days has been split between keeping the slums safe and helping out around the orphanage. It's not exactly a glamorous job, but it's necessary. Besides, he really doesn't mind giving the kids an outlet in the form of training.

This evening, however, he has the less than pleasant task of getting the kids ready for bed. They're far too wound up to just settle down, so it's going to take a bit of trickery. ]

Hm, well, if you don't get ready for bed, I guess I don't have anyone to tell these stories to. [ He hears another volunteer nearby and turns towards them with a knowing smile. ] But if you're tired of my stories, surely this one has something new for you to hear.

[ Did you just get roped into this scheme of his? Yes...Sorry, but he needs the help. ]

[ 2. Out of the City ]

[ The outer city is no strange place to Shu. It's become more home to him over the past couple of months than the rest of the city. He's chosen to live in the slums and take up the task of protecting it (his bond with Eileen helped with both of those decisions).

Shades are a constant threat to those who can't fight them off, so Shu has taken it upon himself to deal with them. He may be a witch, but he isn't reliant on his magic whatsoever. Swift kicks and sharp blows drive away the threats with grace and ease.

There's a moment's reprieve, allowing him to greet the person he heard approach. ]

Are you here to help? I'd be honored to have you fight alongside me.

[ 3. Training ]

[ Aside from his other pursuits, Shu keeps his skills sharp by training almost religiously. It's not a solitary task, though, as he doesn't mind either teaching others some of the techniques of his Nanto Hakuroken, nor does he mind sparring partners. Training with others is a much better way of keeping his skills sharp.

So of course he's going to call someone who's been watching him out. ]

You're welcome to watch me as long as you like. You're also welcome to join me, if you're interested in a spar.

[ 4. Wildcard ]

[ Have an idea? Did we plot something out? Drop me a starter or PM me here or on discord glitzkrieg#0673 and we can work something out! ]

[Petra absolutely hates some of her more animalistic qualities. The hissing is an embarrassment. Worse yet is her forked tongue, despite how incredibly useful the new, powerful sense is, she's never used it when other people were around to see. She'd worked hard to adapt to 'civilized' life when she'd been a child taken away from her home as a political prisoner and reverting back to being seen as some kind of beast is not happening.

She notices the slight stumble, but can't quite bring herself to take advantage of it. She's not sure when she'd gotten so soft but her instinct is to pause and let him regain his balance. She does, however, clearly see the opening she'd had.]

If you were an enemy, I would have been biting you... or giving it try- [She pauses, correcting herself.] A try.

[blind_benevolence]

[ Shu expects her to seize on the opening and to find himself knocked on his ass. That moment never comes. How strange. He stops and cocks his head. ]

Why did you hesitate? You had an opening...Even in a friendly fight, you should capitalize on what your opponent gives you, you know.
