062: With All the Force of a Great Typhoon

[contract_star]

[Hei appears and promptly collapses onto his back, panting and looking generally exhausted and dusty. His face is red from exertion and wind burn. He splays himself out on the Plane floor, staring up at the stars as he tries to catch his breath. His stomach gives a rather loud rumble and he sighs, closing his eyes.]

Why do all Saints have to be so intense? What a slave-driver...

[He falls silent again as talking takes far too much effort.]



[ooc: Some days after this.]

[Brigitta edges over] What's been happening?

[Ikki appears eating the world's biggest bowl of ramen. Insensitive, isn't he?]

You look like you've walked through hell.

[Shun heard the word Saint there] Hei? Are you all right?

[ She's leaning over him now, wearing a white cloak over her normal clothes. ]

You really should come back here to rest before you get that tired, you know.

[contract_star]

Training.

[contract_star]

[ajfkdljfld!!!!]

I've been training.

[contract_star]

[He lays the back of his hand over his eyes.]

I don't know how you guys do it.

[contract_star]

[Peers up at her.] I wanted to finish the session.

[whitestlotus.livejournal.com]

But now you're exhausted, right? Maybe if you'd taken more breaks, you could have kept going.

[ She sits down next to him. ] Koren always pushes me to walk longer and longer, then I poop out and he gets all upset. [ She grins. ] Now that I have this place, I can rest whenever I want to, and push him to keep going.

Your stomach's growling, have you eaten anything?

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

Ah... [Faint smirk] I'm guessing it's going well?

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

... Training? With who? The devil?

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

Do what? Have you been training? [Hei is in a state that Shun is very familiar with.]

[contract_star]

I suppose. I don't know yet.

[contract_star]

[=_=] With Mu.

[contract_star]

With Mu, yes.

[contract_star]

I'd rather do this as efficiently as possible. [Read: As stupidly as possible.]

Oh...probably not in the last two hours.

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

Oh. Damn, he must be a slave driver or something...

[He shoves a bite of ramen in his mouth, then offers the rest to Hei since he looks so pathetic.]

Mmphm mff mffm mf.

[lamb_of_gold]

Don't feed him or he will have no incentive to finish what I've assigned.

[lamb_of_gold]

Already? Hei, if you don't finish I won't make dinner.

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

[FJIUHHFHJSKHLKF. GAG GAG GAG. COUGH. Ahem.]

Holy shit, and a ninja too.

[lamb_of_gold]

Hardly.

[whitestlotus.livejournal.com]

[ Smile. ] Right.

Hmm, well, it can feel like ages after you've exhausted yourself, right? [ Obviously she has no clue how much of a moocow Hei can be. ] Stay put, I'll grab you something.

[ She heads off in the general direction of the kitchen, and returns a couple of melons (the fruit kind), a plate, a knife, and a fork. She sits down next to him and starts carving into one. ]

They're shaped different, but I think they're the same as rhinolopes and boarmelons. I'd get you something more filling, but I really only know how to make one thing.

Since when is starving a part of training criteria? The best training is done by getting back to the roots of being a man!

For example: assign him a spot conveniently near a womens' bath. Despite his modesty, eventually-- EVENTUALLY-- he will give in and peek! But in order to peek, he'll have to build up the strength to climb that wall and defy that gravity!

That is how it's done.

[lamb_of_gold]

I'm hardly starving him. He ate when he woke, at noon, and if he wants dinner, he will finish his tasks.

And no, that isn't how it's done. He's working as much on his mental fortitude as his physical.

[crowheaded.livejournal.com]

Aww, Mu-san, don't ya know he's a growing boy?

There's plenty mentally stimulating about staring at chicks!
