[ though riku's gotten a few dirty looks here and there, he's been mostly left alone.
mostly.
good--because he can't handle more trouble. he hasn't sparred or trained in a good while, so he's decided to just take a short walk into the forest. there's a good, wide clearing that's good enough to practice forms in. sigh... he doesn't like tree branches as makeshift weapons, though, especially just picked off the ground. he even makes a grimace as he starts snapping off parts of the branch he doesn't need, before he takes out one of the small knives he'd bought a waystation ago.
he starts to whittle some of the wood off. in the end, it's a slightly curved branch, but it cuts through air much better than a regular branch. good.
he moves through his forms methodically, like someone who knows them from the back of their hand--but there's spells peppered through them. a slow here, a sleep there...
and then, he hears a crunch, and whips around, casting bind instantly.
[ for the most part, Lloyd's been left alone. sure he got some looks here and there for his hairstyle, but he's been treated fine as he returned frequently to stock up on the meat. maybe the swords at his hip had something to do with it, or maybe he really does exude tough manliness. who knows?
speaking of his swords, there was a particular reason why he had them today, and not just for show. he still needed to keep up with his training. he couldn't slack off now, not after he promised himself as such when they were at the last planet. he made his way towards the neighboring forests, looking for a clearing when he heard the sounds of someone training on their own.
someone familiar.
he peeks through the trees and finds Riku just a ways away, with the same idea he had. this is cool! maybe he could talk him into being a sparring partner! he could definitely see how much his training paid off then. he walks into the clearing, getting ready to greet him, when...
welp. ]
H-hey! [ he struggles against his binds, clearly having fallen for it like a bona fide sucker. ] Uh. Little help?
action; 2/9??? idk, pick a date (abeo)
