Who: Chris "Wanna Fight?" Yukine and Kazanari Tsubasa
When: April 19th
Where: Chris's temple
What: Sparring and Yelling
Chris was frustrated, to say the least. A bunch of weird things had been happening, and while she had managed to avoid getting wrapped up in them, she definitely knew about them. And the more she thought about it, the more unhappy she was with her situation and the fact that she was stuck in it.
But considering she was still Chris Yukine, who tended to bottle things up, deep down, where they took root and eventually calcified, she hadn't voiced any of it. So as she stood in the open air area of her temple, doing warm up stretches for a sparring session she'd set up with Tsubasa, she wore a scowl as part of an irritated, single-minded and determined expression on her face.
No one had ever said she was good at hiding things, but hey, you can't say she didn't try.

Regardless, she'll get it out of her sooner or later. She's pretty sure of that, and she's generally pretty able to pull that off.
Generally.
Still, she smiles as she comes in, rolling her shoulders.
"It's funny, you're not usually the one to ask for this, Yukine."
no subject
"I gotta stay sharp," she said. "Too much at stake to allow myself to get out of shape, y'know?"
no subject
Chris, you very well know that you aren't in the first place. It's not been that long since Tsubasa has been dragging her out to exercise. This just marks one of the few times Chris has initiated it.
"Not to blow off any steam, then?"
no subject
“I meant out of shape when it comes to fighting,” she said tiredly. Maybe she’s starting to feel self conscious about her difficulty keeping up with Tsubasa on their daily exercises.
“But as for blowing off steam... can’t it be both?”
no subject
"Out of shape is out of shape, regardless of what you may be doing."
Melee fighting and marksmanship are very deadly skills, but with certain differences on what it requires of the user. Tsubasa has to always be moving, both for battle, on on the stage. She's not trying to make her self conscious, but she wants her to be aware of these things.
Never forget she could have cut your head off in your second fight with her, Chris.
"It can, indeed. That does not mean there might be another primary motivator, hm?"
no subject
She reached up and took hold of her sacrist. "Either way, it's not gonna be a problem, is it? Us doing this, I mean."
no subject
She answers quickly. What she doesn't say is, that doesn't mean it's going to help Chris in winning any here. She knows how Chris is when she's distracted.
But, she figures, perhaps showing is better than telling in that sort of scenario.
She smirks. "So, hand to hand, then?"
no subject
Her cheeks turn red as that train of thought runs its course. At the same time she realizes that she can't really argue, again, as this is an area she legitimately needs help in. Refusing would be too weird.
"... Sure. That sounds fine. I can do that."
no subject
She muses, staring at her and her reaction. She shrugs one shoulder then, falling into a defensive stance. Hand to hand sparring was more something she'd engage in with Hibiki. Maria and her wielding similar weapons benefited from a mock sword fight. Chris... her fighting style was very far away from hers, so she's not quite sure what to make of her agreeing to that, but she smiles all the same.
"Very well, Yukine. Your move."
no subject
She knew how to get in a proper fighting stance, at least. She knew how Tsubasa held a sword, so she made a rush towards the blue haired young woman's side, aiming to try and tackle her under the assumption that she would expect an attack from the front.
no subject
Rarely, and certainly not in matters such as this. She catches the annoyance, but holds her ground. She might wield a sword, but... She has trained in hand-to-hand as well.
She sidesteps Chris's rush, letting her breeze past. Not striking back yet.
no subject
She sails past Tsubasa, and only narrowly avoids stumbling. She grits her teeth and spins around on her heel, kicking out at the older girl with her other leg.
no subject
"You're attacking in a rush, Yukine."
no subject
"Y-Yeah well, you're not exactly someone you can take it slow with," she said, trying to size Tsubasa up for an opening. "I know how fast you can strike, and you've trained with your uncle..."
She narrowed her eyes. "I'm at a disadvantage here, we both know that."
