Closed Training temptation (aleksi)

[Ximal]

60th spring. 513AV

Calm, the wind was calm and the day was quiet, Xi smiled beneath his hood. The wind was low and rolling gently. A calm day with a very calm blue sky. Xi smiled and slipped the bow off of his shoulder. This would be the first time in the last couple days. Xi pointed the bow at the ground before drawing an arrow from the quiver hanging from his waist. Slipping the arrow into knock agaisn the bow string he lifted the bow high before drawing it back taking his time. Slow deep breaths resonated through him as he fixed his eye's on a tree about thirty years away. Slow breathes, all he had to do was hit the tree. He pulled the bow string back slowly from his chin to the rear of his jaw line. A slow deep breath in then out slowly with the release of the bow string. The arrow snapped off of the string and flew through the air, taking less than a second to impact the target across the way. But before it even connected Xi could see that he'd hit the tree but only just. Sighing Xi drew anothe arrow from his quiver and tried again.

[Aleksi]

A quiet, calm morning, finally Aleksi thought to herself as she dried her body up from the shower. Grunting still, at the marks on her back, she started putting all the piercings back in their place after pulling them out last night. Each one followed by a deep sigh and a soft smile of comfort. She was used to them, so being without them was quite strange. It didn't take her long to pull her pants on, tie her boots up and put on a bra-like leather top. Grinning, she looked outside, through the window, seeing her Strider and the large feline just in front of the hostel. Stepping outside the room, soon after, she nodded to Vysia in the reception part and headed out. The sun was so warm, wind soft against her bare skin. The animals seemed quite happy to see her. Luc, as a true kitten, started jumping around her, pawing her, drawing attention to them from all the people about. After all, he was a predator cat playing like a two month old kitten. Night though, remained calm just until she approached him, when he greeted her and lowered his neck as a sign for her to climb on top of his back. Smiling, Aleksi headed towards the city walls, leaving all that havoc behind her on her Strider's back and with her best friend next to her. They didn't seem to be in any kind of a rush, just enjoying their time together again. Leaning in, she rubbed the horse's neck lightly, looking about. In the distance, she could see a figure that looked familiar. Tilting her head lightly, she asked Night to move faster until she could feel her cheeks flush from recognizing it. Her voice was soft, yet high, her little hand moved up in a waving motion as she yelled out Xi!

Xi was lost in his won little world as he held the arrow up, time seeimg to slow slightly for him as he held it the, the slow stillness of his breath exiting his lungs. Xi held the bow in place and held his focus. Useing all of his mental strength to focus on the tree. He breathed ow slowly letting his bow tilt to the side lightly and the arrow fly straighter than before, flying out down range and hitting the tree only a few inches below where he'd aimed, but still massively closer to the target than his first arrow. Xi smirked now he was making progress. It seemed the further the target was the more he'd have to try and compensate for any wind pick up. Xi drew another arrow and knocked it before he heard a familiar voice. soft but now very loud calling out to him and on horse back. Xi turned his head and waved back with his free hand. smiling lightly beneath his hood, using it to keep the sun out of his eyes. Pulling the bow back up Xi lined up another shot taking his time to lock on and gauge the wind as it slowly picked up. Angling his shot off to the side to help compensate for the wind. A slight adjustment and then a release, the arrow flew but with such force that the compensation was way too much. Causing the arrow to skitter off into the tree line. Damn it!

[Aleksi]

Aleksi smiled warmly as she saw him hit the tree. That bow just looked so damn powerful. And he looked so good with it.... When she caught herself thinking of things that were not so appropriate for being outside like that, she shook her head and approached him. Jumping off the horse, she arched her back and rolled her shoulders. Grinning, her feet moved slowly, over the grass and right next to Xi. She didn't see him miss the tree because she was too busy thinking about... she wouldn't want to go any further with those thoughts. Her hands slowly went over to him, pulled the cloak off his head and then moved down his chest, biting on her bottom lip before leaning in and placing a soft kiss on his bottom lip Hey there, Mr. Giant, how have you been? That crazy mind of hers was going all over the place. So many things she wanted to do were so close to her. Firing from that thing would be brilliant... training with Xi, this time for real, would be amazing.... kissing him and dragging him back to the hostel would be even better..

[Ximal]

Xi let the bow fall a bit as aleksi came over. H was still some what concentrating on trying to read the wind speed, and work out just when and under what power and angle to fire the bow. Though his thoughts shifted dramatically as the light flooded into his eye's more, palms on his chest and then a soft kiss on his lower lip, followed by a question about how he'd been. Xi smirked and gestured to the bow. trying to think of something to say. "I've..been alright, just practising with my bow. It's... a bit o a monster here try and pull it. " Xi gave her a light hug around her waist as he then handed her the bow. The height of the bow taller than she was. Which was kind of obvious with the bow being Xi's own height. Xi smirked seeing her with it. He full well knew that she might not be able to pull it seeing as he could only just draw it back. Still he smiled as she held it his mind walking loops around her, before her relaxed it his eyes were a lot lower than her hands and laid over her back side. Shaking his head lightly he snapped his attention back to her trying to pull the bow, a slight tint to his face but barely noticeable.

[Aleksi]

Aleksi giggles as she felt his arms around her. Nuzzling towards the back a bit, she let her fingers hold the bow, smiling wide at just the way it looked. Compared to her little body, just as its owner, the bow looked almost scary. Her fingers gripped onto it tighter, trying to pull it hard, trying to draw and actually shoot, because let's face it, fighting and weapons were her biggest passion... well up until recently. Grunting, she finally gave up, after trying to draw it for quite some time. Her eyes moved up and with a pout, she mumbled What is this thing? I can't even move it properly, being both amazed and sad because she couldn't do anything to it and Xi seemed to be able to actually fire from it.

[Ximal]

Xi smirked whilst watching her try to pull his monster of a bow, her small grunts and strains reminding him of something else which he wouldn't go into in detail. Still when she was done with it he took it back from her and drew it with what looked like relative ease empty of arrows and then le it snap out before answering. "It's a bow i got whilst I spent some time in the spires. It's got a surprisingly powerful shot but, it's a mother-petcher to try and draw." Xi drew it again for emphasis and held it in place for a full three seconds, the draw weight burning on his hands and biting into his fingers through his glove. Before finally he released it with a snapping whip crack. "It's difficult to use but , it can punch through just about anything." Xi smiled and gave her a small kiss on her now pouting lips. Xi smirked lightly knowing full well that it wasn't an easy weapon to draw. Though he was more or less coated in other weapons he'd brought his whole arsenal out this morning. He'd intended to train in all of them and help aleksi with her own unarmed fighting.

[Aleksi]

She watched him in amazement, just like that first day, when he was carrying a log on his shoulder. Her smile wider and wider until it finally turned into a giggle, after he let the bow snap. Repeating that scene made Aleksi giggle once more. She seemed quite excited just watching him deal with that. Her fingers moved over the bow again, as Xi came over and kissed her, making her smile as brightly as he could I have to tell you something Voice soft and quiet as her hands moved along the bow and his chest, eyes locked on his and lips brushing against his I've missed you, you know.... You've grown on me some, Mr. Giant. Giggling playfully, she then added before placing another kiss on his lips That doesn't mean I won't kick your ass when I am done with my training

[Ximal]

She had to tell him something ? Xi couldn't quite think what it could be ? pondering for a moment he then was told by her exactly what it was as her hands went back to his chest. he'd grown on her some? Followed by another kiss. But that didn't mean...Ohs she was asking for it. Xi smirked lightly before giving her a look. "Well let's see who wind then shall we? I promise nto to hurt you too much. If you promise not to knee me in the...delicate area again." Xi's stomach still hurt at the thought of that. Shaking his head he slipped off his cloak revealing the bristling arsenal beneath. and then began to remove each weapon one by one until it was just him and his clothing. Xi snapped his neck lightly before punching his hand into the air very fast. This time Xi would play fair and make sure e didn't do anything to get him hit in the nether regions again. He'd also take the utmost care to not hurt her.

[Aleksi]

Aleksi chuckled as she saw him step back. Taking his clothing off, just distracted her but hey, after all, she was not really covered herself, at least the top part. Her head tilting from side to side, stretching, hearing the bones crack before arching back and touching the ground with her fingertips. When she pulled herself back up, she grinned at Xi and whispered, readjusting her top So, what is on today's agenda? Her eyes then dropped to the place she kicked with her knee the last time and she added, quietly, making both herself and probably him blush Don't worry, I won't... it turned out to be a quite fun area after all, winking at the end of that sentence and then letting her body sink down to the ground as her legs stretched, feeling the muscles of her thighs cramp in pain for a few moments until she managed to get comfortable. Looking at him from down there was even more fun, since he seemed twice the size he usually is. She giggled, leaning over to one leg and then the other, making sure she is all warmed up before they start doing anything.
