Owner Pose
Sanary Rondel It had taken some convincing (and bribing), but Sanary's finally gotten her hands on an Amusphere! Although her computers haven't been doing so well, the Confederate suppliers can at least rest easy knowing there's no way she could download all sorts of malicious bullshit onto /this/ device... Probably.

     It can't be that hard to learn how to use this, anyway, right? Find a bed, slip it on, see how everything works. Hopefully, having only the one eye to work with the visor device won't mess things up too much. The healer takes a deep breath, then...

<< FIVE HOURS LATER >>

     A red-haired girl starts falling from the sky over the Spriggan starting zone. She does a few flips in the air to right herself, then appears to be waiting for something. When nothing happens, she flips herself around a few times, flails around some, then straightens out completely before embedding herself right in the ground feet-first like a goddamn bunker buster.

<< THREE WEEKS LATER >>

     Stab. Dodge. Repeat. A simple, if somewhat repetitive method of fighting in ALO. Although it's been a while since Sanary's started playing ALO, learning how all the systems work while trying not to draw attention to herself has been somewhat tricky. Even stabbing boars like she's doing now is still giving her some trouble, but at least the numbers are going up. That's some sort of progress, right? Right!
Kirito How rare is it for Kirito to be flying the skies of the Spriggan territory?

    The landscape's a mixture of light jungle and grassy plains, plenty of rocky and hilly areas to go around. It grows swampy in a few locations where drainage is poor and the climate's almost tropical... but never TOO hot and muggy, thanks to the wonders of FullDive fantasy environments!

    The Spriggan swordsman watches it all roll along beneath him as he soars through the skies, futzing with his menu and scratching his chin while a little fairy girl peeks from the shelter of his shirt pocket, using the flap to ward off most of the wind.

    "Does Liz REALLY need mats from such a low level area?" The boy ponders aloud, almost grumbly. He's been gathering them along with some other things, but... no clue just what she wants them for.

    But a chance glance downwards brings a thing to his attention that, usually, he'd overlook. Oh, someone's fighting.

    ... Someone's fighting a little on the clumsy side against some of the middling difficulty opponents? Or are those low level? He's not so sure of how things are in the Spriggan zone.

    He normally avoids the place.

    "Well, let's go say hello! Think those boars drop what we're looking for anyways."

    The boy tucks his wings in tight against each other and re-angles them upwards, shifting his thrust DOWNWARDS!

    ... downwards at RIDICULOUS SPEEDS!

    But at the last moment he shifts in midair and applies some braking thrust. The end result is...

    *SsssssssssssssshhkeeeePOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!*

    .... SOMETHING strikes the ground like a METEOR about thirty feet from Sanary, kicking up an amazingly thick cloud of dust and dirt! It obscures whatever it is... but clears quickly enough.

    Kirito rises from a crouch, exercising his shoulder and arm with some circular motions and rubbing it as if getting ready for action... then stretching one of his legs. No doubt he felt that impact a bit oddly.

    A manuever like -that- would have MOST players suffering CRIPPLING nausea. This boy tanked it like a champ. Mostly.

    "Those boars giving you trouble?" Only after the cloud clears does he realize... what he thought was a boy from afar is actually a girl.

    Kirito's eyes go a bit wide. And he's no doubt kicking himself about how stupid this approach looks. last thing he needs is a girl thinking he's creepy...
Sanary Rondel Another dodge, another thrust. There is that parrying skill, too... Maybe she should practice that a bit to see if that works better. She's been trying to fight here in a way as different as she would normally, after all, so wouldn't dodging and skillfully pushing aside attacks make it even harder for anyone to recognize her in here? Yeah... Yeah, that'll work fine.


     As Sanary's about to attempt to deflect an oncoming boar's charge, however, a sound from above catches her attention! She tries not to pay it too much mind at first, but it's rather hard to ignore a FREAKING METEOR hitting the ground nearby! "H... Huh?" Her voice comes out in a startled half-squeak for a variety of reasons, one of which being that... Well.

     This is one of the Union's players, isn't it? Time to put her spymaster tactics to good use! Wait a second THERE'S A BOAR RIGHT THERE the red-haired Spriggan digs her feet in as she turns to face the boar, being forced to tank the charge HEAD ON. Thankfully, she actually has some semblance of Light Armor on for situations like this. She flips the rapier around, then stabs it once more in a very no-nonsense, SCREW FINESSE sort of way before dropping on her ass with a light thud.

     At least the boar's dead. Not-Sanary lets out a relieved sigh before turning to Kirito properly. Play it cool. Don't talk too loud, don't talk too fast, and nobody knows she's here! Probably.

     "H... Uh. H-hi. No, they're giving me... Parts!" Acting is hard. Stage fright sucks! At least it's only one Union person here instead of two. Then it'd practically be impossible to a single word out straight!
Kirito At first, Kirito ponders apologizing for just blazing his way down, that he didn't realize it was a girl. But... that would be rude and kind of lame in its own way. In for a penny, in for a pound, it seems!

    "Th-the boar!" He flinches, again berating himself for such a flashy entrance while someone was mid-combat. That was stupid of him. A bit thoughtless. He should've waited until they were finished with the mob. Why is he forgetting such basic manners?R
    Oops.

    He does wait until she's done fighting, taking the opportunity to study her fighting style...

    That. ... That rapier-work would make Asuna cry. It almost makes him cry. He's pretty sure the rapier would be crying too were it capable of it!

    Kirito's eyes are still wide, but now for slightly different reasons.

    "... Need some tips? Looks like you're pretty new to that weapon... and I'm pretty sure these boars drop the same mats I'm after."

    His tone turns friendly pretty quickly... though as a more stammery afterthought he adds, "If not, I'll head to the next field over! One tip though... boar type enemies, their weak spot's usually the back of the head..."
Sanary Rondel To be fair, at least she did take the boar out! Sure, it wasn't with anything resembling finesse or even using a Sword Skill, but... It worked! It's clear that this girl who totally isn't Sanary needs a lot of work, though.

     After catching her breath, the red-haired girl picks herself back up and dusts her front off while peering at where the boar had struck her just moments ago. "Still not used to that..." She murmurs to herself, the jumps a bit when she's reminded that Kirito is still there and talking to her.


     "Huh? Oh! Uh.. S-sure. Yeah, that'd be good. It's mostly stabbing, right?" She does a strong, if rather predictable and lunge-heavy thrust in the air to demonstrate, although from the looks of it? This is the 'technique' she's been using the whole time instead of something more natural and agile.

     "Oh, you can stay! I'm just practicing and getting used to this thing, anyway. It's not like I can carry all the m... Mats? Yeah, I don't have room for more, anyway." She even manages an awkward smile at that! Anything to try and keep him from realizing that she's really Sanary!
Kirito no ROOM for more mats? Kirito blinks few times. "Heading back to the nearest town to sell things... or find a smith to enhance your gear'd be a good idea then..." Kiito remarks lightly, arms folding. He's now pretty sure this is a n00b of the deepest sorts. New to MMORPGs entirely even, period!

    "Well. Those moves of yours look more suitable for a club or an axe than a rapier. Hmmmm...."

    The Black Swordsman approaches, closing the distance at a smooth but polite pace, and points out, "Speed's the biggest advantage for rapier techniques. Speed and precision. If you can get the hang of dodging around an enemy's guard and scoring a direct hit on their weak point with a basic rapier technique like Linear, you'll be almost one-shotting these things. Like..."

    Off in the distance there's ANOTHER giant boar. Kirito wastes little time hopping over its way and... hurling what looks like a tiny shuriken or throwing pick at it?!

    The creature snort-squeals with FEROCIOUS RAGE and quickly comes barreling his way!

    But instead of dodging...

    Instead, Kirito draws his black blade, twirls it about for show and drops into a deep stance, holding it horizontally... with the deadly point aimed straight for the boar's head.

    Something pretty STRANGE happens then. Emerald light shines from within the black metal, white winds twist and howl around it...

    All the while, THERE COMES THE BOAR. Charging unerringly right at him.

    "All monsters have patterns, they all attack the same way!" He remarks confidently. And indeed, the board rears its head, hoping to gore him. But... before it can get in range?

    Kirito takes a half-step forward and... WHOOOOOOSH!

    Emerald-white light flashes across the distance he instantly travels, taking him PAST the boar. This line, one that barely lasts a second, pierces sharply through the top of the boar's skull and through the back of its head...!

    Those howling winds bowl the creature over, what seems like magical energies amplifying the simple thrust beyond imagination. SUCH SPEED!

    ... And the boar is hardly fallen over by the time its Health meter's been reduced to nothing. It shimmers... and bursts into colorful fading pixels almost instantly.

    Kirito, as if on cue, swings his weapon as if casting blood from it and neatly sheathes it across his back again.
Tomoe Just because, Tomoe is an Alf with unlimited flight time? Does not mean that she can ignore the weather. Sadly the winds high up are more brutal than one might expected today and while an experienced flier? Tomoe is having a bad day today she's lost control, while looking for Kirito. So? She's going down spiraling out of the sky and she's going to hit the ground with a hell of an impact and maybe? Just maybe she's going to impact with !Sanary when she does so. Thankfully the game doesn't do /that/ much impact damage but it could be a very embarrassing situation for both she and Tomoe given the nature of the impact!
Sanary Rondel "Y... You can sell things?" Of course! And enhancing things... That would certainly explain the purpose in getting all these boar asses, wouldn't it? "Maybe I missed something in town, then... Eh?"

     Is this still part of the act, or is Sanary getting legitimately flustered? It's her first... Month! And as predicted, it is indeed her first game! Not that she'll admit to any of that, of course, since that would just out her way too easily. And the fact that Kirito's even commented on her technique as being suited for an axe... Has he figured her out already?!

     "Wha... I-I just thought it'd be cool to use this! Because..." Shit. She didn't think this far ahead! Thankfully, Kirito's demonstration on the boar gives her that opportunity to think of how to respond, staring in awe at how easily the boar is dispatched in the mean time. "Whoa... That's why! Yeah... I wanted to do cool moves like that and what I see people doing on TV. I thought maybe I could do that..." She waggles the rapier a bit. "Er. This. What's this about a Linear, though...?"

     Maybe it's not all an act. Before she can put the finishing touches on her act, though, a new challenger appears! Or lands on her, anyway, as the red-haired SPriggan gets a sudden Salamander to the face. If nothing else, at least she's providing Tomoe with a soft landing point, even if she can't quite stay on her feet in this form like she would elsewhere! "Gghk.. Wh... Huh. What's.. Who?"
Kirito Blink blink blink! Kirito's expression twists around in all kinds of disbelief! Why is this redhead so... JUMPY?!

    ... For that matter, why are MOST of the girls he meets so quirky?

    Well, he's not gonna dwell on the latter question.

    Even as one of the most LITERALLY 'jumpy' ones comes PLOWING down upon his conversation partner from out of nowhere just as he opened his mouth to respond... leaving him standing there, GAPING in disbelief.

    Of all the places to land... never mind that, THAT ARMOR in particuar. Of all the PEOPLE...

    "Errrrr... Tomoe?" He just dares to ask the name questioningly, sprouting a sympathetic, wince-filled smile and waiting for the girls to... sort this out.

    Heeeeee's not about to go untangling THAT mess. Totally not a good idea.
Tomoe Tomoe is just as dazed s she tries to untangle her self from !sanary. She has no idea who or what she's hit, heck she's looking to be a good deal dazed as she's attempting to get lose. "Ugg what? I? Why is this all warm...?" She's been knocked for a loop and several parts of her body have distorted and are showing red grid lines as she's trying to get lose. "K...Kirito? Wha..t happened? Who is this?"

She's now seeing she's tangled up with another player and turns a bit comically red as she attempts to get lose, also soon a sweat drop appears as she makes her efforts to get free but may end up only embarrassing herself /further/.
Sanary Rondel Sanary twitches a bit under Tomoe as she tries to get her bearings straight. What even happened? She was talking to Kirito, he might or might not have been catching onto her act, and then... A red lady fell on her.

     That couldn't have been the game, could it? No, just her luck to have someone land on her instead of all the clear ground around them or one of the many many boars. Once she does realize that it's indeed a person on top of her, though, the red-haired Spriggan stops moving and just freezes on the spot.

     This is good. Maybe throw them both off the trail with timidity! Or... It could just be that she's genuinely having trouble figuring out how to react to all this happening so fast. Her first day meeting new people, and now she's got someone right on top of her! "Er... H-hi. You two know each other, then?" She finally manages to speak, deliberately avoiding eye contact with both Tomoe and Kirito just in case. Of course, without seeing just what Tomoe's doing in that attempt to untangle them from each other...

     Well, it's a good thing nobody actually knows Sanary's here, or she'd never hear the end of it! "I'm L.. Lednor. Nice to meet you both." She pipes up again, also getting a little flushed while still desparately trying to avoid looking at... Well, anything. It's easier this way, really!
Kirito Kirito snorts exasperatedly at this bizarre mess. "Congratulations, Tomoe." The boy announces sarcastically. "You've gone and squashed a newbie."

    Lednor, huh? Not the kind of name he's used to hearing from girls. Not many ways to feminine charm it up.

    ... He's sure Asuna would figure out a way, though.

    "For a long time, yeah." He answers his new acquaintance, folding his arms over his chest. "My name's Kirito. Just a swordsman passing, mostly passing through. ... Aaaand, er... if you two can get untangled, I'll show you how to use Linear and stick it to these mobs."
Tomoe Tomoe is now untangled from Lednor and shes still looking bright red, to the point a bit of steam is coming off her. Also one might notice a very large sweat drop hanging behind her head. It's a lot harder to hide how your feeling about certain things. Such as she's basically mortified right now at this point in time. She looks to Lendnore now and finally speaks again. "I am Tomoe and I'm so sorry!"

She snaps a look back to Kirito and fumes a bit. "I know that! Kirito!" She looks back to Lednor and says "I am so sorry I didn't mean to do that and ..."

She's also lucky she didn't trigger the anti harassment systems somehow too thankfully she's got untangled but is still looking embarrassed.

Is there anything I can do to make this up to you?
Kain     Suddenly, the 'tension' below is broken by a noise from nearby. Inquiring heads turnt would see a red-robed individual with his head bashed into a nearby tree... long flowing silver hair draped down his head as he- obviously a guy by the pained grunting noise he'd made when impacting- just slowly comes back to the ground... Kirito and Tomoe might likely recognize both the Salamander and the method of his incoming...
Sanary Rondel Still looking rather flustered by that rough introduction to Tomoe's virtual form and almost matching her facial color, 'Lednor' finally gets up off the ground with another dust-off of her clothes. At least nobody seems to be pushing the... Intimacy of all that too much. "Kirito and Tomoe... Uh. I-it's fine! I just wasn't expecting..."

     Wait. These two know each other. Kirito's in the Union. Does this mean Tomoe's in there, too? She's running into /two/ Union players of this game at the same time now?! Oh crap. Now she really needs to make sure she doesn't blow her cover.

     "S... So many... People. Uh. N-n-nah, I'm fine! Yeah, let's see..." Swallowing nervously and doing a fairly bad job at trying to play it off as nothing, Sanary looks over slowly at the noise coming from above as Kain makes his.. Entrance? "Linear..? Uh. Is that a friend, too?"

     Why did she pick /this/ day of all days to mess around here?!
Kirito WHY IN ALFHEIM IS EVERYONE RUNNING INTO THINGS TODAY?! The sound of ANOTHER thunderous crash jolts Kirito to attention, a hand going to his sword... though he doesn't draw it. Instead he gets a good look at who just slammed into a tree... and winces.

    "Uweh, this place got strangely popular all of a sudden..." The boy mutters unhappily. Kinda hard to teach with so many interruptions! But... "Is that Kain over there?! You alright?!"

    Oh well. He's not about to insult Kain by babying him. He can handle himself. Kirito gives the young man a supportive 'you can do it!' look... then answers 'Lednor.'

    "Nope. A rapier skill. The most basic one! .. You... didn't learn about Sword Skills?" He sounds just a tad astonished, eyebrows quirking. Are the tutorials THAT bad? Or...

    Noooooo, he probably has a 'special case' of player here. The kind that's too eager to pay attention to how things work. Hoo boy.

    He can relate, though he'd never say that.

    "It's easy. You saw I held my blade earlier?"

    The boy spaces his stance out, bending his knees and drawing his sword again. This time he holds it up... in ALMOST the same way, pointed forward and ready for a thrust, though with a bit of twist in the wrist!

    "The trick to Sword Skills is all about stance. Assume the starting stance... and you'll feel them build up. This one's for the rapier skill 'Linear.' Know it because I've seen it SO much." OH has he ever.

    "But for me..." He changes the stance, blade held out to the side and pointing backwards instead, almost like he's ready for a draw slash. "like so!"

    And once he's in steadby position the blade shines again, this time with a frosty white-blue! Though he holds position... and nothing happens.

    "Once it's built up... you just begin the first move, and go with it as best you can!"

    In his case he begins a horizontal swing... and this propels him into a strange series of slashes, spinning around in place and delivering four horizontal slashes through the air. Frosty waves are cast from the blade, drawing a bright, short-lived square-like shape in the air around him!

    Then the light dies down again. "These are the real way to fight monsters..."
Tomoe Tomoe is about to say something else as someone else /crashes/ what with the skies over this zone, today? Tomoe wonders about this for a moment before she catches on to who else just crash in. If Tomoe suspects that Ledor is a spy? She shows no signs of it. If anything she seems concerned for her and also now for the next person they have had drop in. "We should make sure he's all right as well." Tomoe had no intention of bringing the intimacy of what happened. She's too darn embarrassed about the whole affair to do so.

"I'll go see if our other arrival is all right, I think I know him."

She'd be making for Kain to lend him a hand as well, though he'd noticed how flustered the former Clearer was.

Are you all right? Things would be fine with Kirito taking care of the newbie she was in good hands with someone like Kirito. Nothing could go wrong with that, right?
Sanary Rondel Oh crap, there's a third one now. Did Sanary accidentally send out a freaking Union-summoning beacon when she came out here or something?!

     No, no. There's a rational explanation for all of this. She's just overthinking things. Be cool. Don't freak out. Maybe they haven't noticed any of it at all. That has to be it. If they knew, they'd probably be stabbing her or trying to trace her location or something by now. Besides, Tomoe's taking care of Kain's.. Dynamic entrance, and nobody's raising any alarms. It's probably fine!

     "Uh... N-nope! I just started playing and found this and started poking things." 'Lednor' wiggles her rapier again, finally sounding a little calmer than she did moments ago. Only a little, though, since she's still a little jumpy. Or... Very.

     Depends on the observer, really. She nods when Kirito asks, then listens intently when he describes the method of using Sword Skills. Drawing her rapier closer, the redhead holds the weapon out first to try and get a feel for what he's talking about, and she nearly jumps again when she does actually start feeling it!

     "Whoa... This is... Different." She murmurs quietly as that glow starts to surround her weapon, albeit not at an impressive level just yet. This really is the first time she's even tried using it, after all, and she'll get those lens flares one day!

     "So I follow the move, and....!" A step forward, a twist of her wrist and upper body, and Lednor practically shoves that rapier forward as she pulls off the Sword Skill for the first time! She really needs work, but at least she's looking excited. "Hah! Ah... How was that?"
Kirito "Hohhh... pretty good for a first try!" Kirito's not talking down at all, his tone's pretty genuine. "Alright, then.. step two's learning to guide the aim just right. Step three's getting the timing down to an exact science, so you can whip it out whenever you need and strike. ... Sword Skills are where you'll be getting most of your power, but... knowing when to use them and where to strike's key. The really powerful ones will leave you unable to move for a few seconds, so if you miss, or fail to finish your opponent off... owwww."

    Does he really need to explain why that's bad?

    Probably not. He just keeps watching with his arms folded and a pleased look on his face. A pupil's learning!
Tomoe Tomoe willhelp out Kain as much as she's able to however she is still listening to the conerstion with !Sanary and Kirito. She's curious about the newbie and she did crash into them in a pretty embarssing way for them both to meet. It's honestly just interesting to hear Kirito teaching a newbie, thankfully for her? She ran into them rather than say one of Eugene's guilds war parties.
Sanary Rondel "R... Really?" 'Lednor' lets out a bashuful laugh at that, watching the light fade from her rapier before holding it forward again. "Right... Can't really use this until I learn how to aim it. And if I can aim it, then..." She holds the rapier in place, letting the energy build, then draws her hand back before thrusting it outward again with another twist and step forward. This attempt is significantly more confident than the last, although perhaps a little too confident as she lunges further even more this time around.

     It's almost like she's trying to put her weight into the move instead of letting the rapier and the Sword Skill do the work. "If that's how the higher level stuff works... Hmm. Sounds tricky. Y-yeah, I gotta be careful not to get hit, huh?" Another giggle, and a reminder for herself as well. Sanary's not Sanary here, and she doesn't have the physical fortitude nor the luxury of healing herself on instinct! No, she needs to be more careful while fighting here.

     "So... You're all Spriggans, then? Or..." She peers at Kirito, then at Tomoe and Kain. "No... You're the red heavy race and that... Gray... Middle something, right?"

     She'll learn the races one day, too.
Kirito "Salamanders there." Kirito juts a thumb at Tomoe and Kain. "Spriggan for me though." Easy question to answer, even as he watches Lednor getting the hang of her basic technique!

    "Rapiers aren't the best weapons for parrying heavy attacks from the larger monsters. You could equip a shield... but that means less speed. Agility's your best friend as a Spriggan and rapier-wielder. Agility and precision. Keep it up and you'll be fast as lightning!" He advises encouragingly... though now he unfolds his arms and scratches the back of his head.
Kain     Kain just looks at Kirito a bit. "My Rapier's kept me safe from some of those bigger mobs I've seen in... places. It's how I survived." He gives a knowing look to Kirito and Tomoe.

    He then gives a look to Lednor with a smile on his face. "Don't listen to Kirito. He doesn't know how to use anything smaller than a Greatsword, which probably upsets Asuna..." He grins sheepishly at the jab... "But yeah. You keep going at it and get as fast as you can. The Rapier may not deal as much damage as some of the bigger weapons out there, but it definitely will hit more times than it. And those more times can add up to some amazing amounts of damage. In fact, I'm currently attempting to perfect a move that I've been working on for ages." He goes over to that tree that he'd rammed into earlier...

    *FLASHBACK*

    Kain just grimaces as he finally is on the ground after impacting the tree... "Owwwwww... note to self... don't fly at high speeds with your eyes closed, no matter how good you are..." He then sees Tomoe approaching and asking if he was alright. "Eheh. I'm okay... thankfully, the pain receptors are high enough, plus I have a high threshold for pain anyway." He grimaces and rubs his head a bit. "Still smarts, but it's not painful really."

    *END FLASHBACK*

    Kain grimaces at the dirty tree that had dared to be in his way, focusing intently as he brings his Rapier out... "If the opponent can't keep track of you, he... or she... can't hit you. And that's where my move comes in!" His Rapier glows brightly as he dashes towards the tree and suddenly disappears. Then there's suddenly a BUNCH of Kains surrounding the tree and jabbing at it with the Rapier. The hits themselves don't seem to be doing much in the way of damage, but they're adding up rather quickly in the amount. But suddenly, the Salamander seems to do something off and tumbles out of his move and slides a few feet away from the tree. Growling a bit, he looks towards it. "You win this one..."
Sanary Rondel "Salamanders... Like the lizards, right?" Sana-er. Lednor replies, a thoughtful hum leaving the redhead before she starts musing to herself while practicing more with Linear. Still slow, but she looks like she's sort of figuring it out! Slowly. "I haven't seen a lot of people around here since... W-well, I've kinda been avoiding the towns. They're..."

     Less details. Less chance of outing herself that way! She clears her throat before forcing an awkward giggle, shutting up quickly to listen further to Kirito's explanations. "I've seen shields on sale. Thought about getting one, but..." Careful. "... They're too slow. I gotta stay fast, right? Maybe some thicker armor, but I want to keep my other hand free. J-just in case." A pause, and she laughs again when Kain takes that jab at the black-haired Spriggan. If nothing else, it's helping her keep from losing her cool too quickly! Again, anyway. "Nice move... You okay there? Was that some kind of Illusion magic or something?"

     As Lednor speaks, she inches towards a boar to try and goad it into attacking. "And... Um. You know if this game lets you use two fighting styles at once? You mentioned a club before, so maybe that..." And then it's time to get locked into mortal combat with another basic beast! This time, however, she's got Linear on her side, and dispatching the boar is signifcantly faster than the last few! Even Lednor looks surprised.
Kirito "The fire fairies." Kirito explains. "From the south regions. Physical powerhouses, though a notch below Gnomes defense-wise. Lots of heavily offensive builds and fire magic's easy to use for blasting everything in your way. They've also got excellent leadership." The Spriggan explains.... only for his face to darken.

    "Uweh... these aren't greatswords..." He contests under his breath, though he also gestures Kain's way. "Alright, then how about you show her the ropes?" He grins his junior's way. "I've got to get some of these mats while I've got time!"
Tomoe Tomoe Says "IT's good to see you JKain though it seems we both have issues with flying today. There really is something up with the weather over this zone today?"

She seems happy to be distracted from what's going on with her own crashing she tilts her head.

"No we're not lizards, more based off the myths such. As for Salamanders the animal by that name isn't even a lizard."

She seems pretty amused however she gets a message ping and pauses. She opens a menu looks at the menu and grimaces.

"I have had something come up, I must go..."
Kain Kain grimaces a bit as Kirito just kinda ups and leaves. And then huffs a small bit as Tomoe is leaving as well. "Well, suppose that's for the best. I actually need to continue my quest anyway. Yaay, grinding..." He gives a small disgusted face as he flies up into the air once more and waves to Tomoe and Lednor. "Seeya around, Tomoe. And Lednor, Agility and Precision. Your hits don't have to do too much damage if you can land 10 hits in the time it takes others to land 2. That's my secret. Seeya!" With that, his wings kick up into overdrive as he zips away at high speeds, kicking up some dust as he goes.
Sanary Rondel "I almost picked that one, too. Hmm... Well, this'll work out anyway, right?" Getting some of her confidence back, Lednor lets out another chuckle at Kirito's protest before offering Kirito a polite bow. The real Sanary would never do that, right? Right!

     Although come to think of it, have they even met before? Details, details. "Thanks for the pointers, Kirito. I'll be sure to practice Linear more if we meet again." She offers Tomoe a bow as well, inadvertently turning a bit redder around the face upon recalling what had happened earlier. "You take care, too. I'll probably be around here or... Something for a while until I get the hang of this.

     Turning to Kain, Sanary tilts her head a bit in curiousity as he mentions those things to focus on. She nods slowly, the value of rapid strikes not lost on her despite her preference for ALL POWER ALL THE TIME. "That's true... Y-yeah, I'll practice that!"

     By the time the dust settles and Lednor's alone again, she finally lets out a relieved sigh. Spy mission #1: SUCCESS! Time to stab more fake computer boars.
