Portobello Road (Revy)

by **Sayren WindDancer** on August 7th, 2013, 3:31 pm

61st of Summer

Sayren woke for another morning. She stretched her arms out as she glanced out her window. Dawn was just peaking over the horizon. She sighed as she hung herself over her knees. Heavily thinking about her training thus far. She had learned quite a bit from Ximal, but she was hoping to learn more from Revy about two handed swords. Hoping that the teachings would help vary her style of fighting. However, the mercenary woman had been avoiding her at every turn since they had first met. Her fingers traced circles on her kneecaps as she thought more about it. What could she have done to have aggravated the woman so? Did the kiss really bother her so? How would Sayren bring this up to her? Should they just...forget about it? But how could she do that? Revy was her first kiss. Her first contact with a warming connection. This alone confused her for several reasons.

She attempted to sort the thoughts in her head by separating them out. She held both of her hands. Meaning to possibly weigh the situation out...knowing it may not lean towards her favor, which at this point she had no clue what it would be. She glanced over at her left hand, thinking about why this should NOT be happening. She quietly muttered to herself, "Revy is a woman. Just as I am. And not only that, but a teacher of mine as well." Then she turned her head to the right, which was much higher than her left now, having no weight to it yet. "And yet...that kiss." The right now started to lower almost equal to the other, "I felt warm. Connected. She's beautiful. She's strong." She sighed as she returned her attention to her left hand, lowering that hand with more weight, "I know nothing about her. Who she really is. Or why she is running from me." Then an idea clicked in her head.

If she could just convince Revy for the two of them to spend time together. Maybe this whole...confusing mess can finally be figured out. However, the woman may not give her the chance to, having successfully avoided Sayren for about ten days now. Her head drooped over her shoulders. She was counting the days...this was bad. She glanced out the window once more, contemplating her thoughts. It was the crack of dawn and the sun was growing brighter. Surely Revy would just be starting her training exercise? She hoped so. Least for today. She quickly tossed on her regular clothes, keeping her training clothes close by in case she needed to change into them, if she's able to train with Revy. She knew she had the day to herself though. Ximal had told her to rest up and have the day to do as she pleased because he had something special planned for her the next day. And out the door she went.

She tip-toed over to the training room. That's when she heard Revy. Grunting and breathing hard from each strike of her blade for her warm ups. Sayren must've came in just as she was starting. She smiled, this was her chance. She stepped out into the room, trying her best not to come up on her in surprise, "Hello Revy. Beautiful weather this morning has given us...is...it okay if we may speak?" She said rigidly. She wasn't used to talking about this kind of subject, let alone to another woman, one that she now...desired.

When the mercenary woke up, it was still dark outside. She hadn't slept well that night, because she had been worrying over Zandelia yet again. It wasn't the first time she hadn't come back to their room to sleep, but it was the first time she did it unannounced. Why was she being like this? Was she so absorbed in her work that she was forgetting about Revy completely? Or did she really have.... an affair?
The woman didn't know and to get her mind off those thoughts, she got out of bed. She grabbed her leather armor, slipping into it rather quickly, and grabbed her glaive and longsword.

She left for the training room, taking along a candle for light. Even at night this place didn't feel uncomfortable. How did that perverted giant manage to create a place like that? Either way, it didn't matter. All she was going to do was practice with her weapons.
Once she entered the room, she lit up the lamps scattered around the walls. After all, practicing in the dark could only lead to injury.
She then unsheathed her glaive, dropped it next to the wall together with her sword, and got to training. She started by just doing a set of fifty regular swings. Each swing consisting of two parts. First a slice coming from the right, while stepping forward. Then while the weapon was on her left side, turn it and swing it back while stepping backwards. This she repeated three times, each time taking a break of five chimes between each set.
Then it was time to start the real work. She had to get a good feeling for the blade and how it'd react to each move, so she swung the blade, shifting her right hand a bit further down the shaft, decreasing the distance between her hands, and swung it again. Revy noticed that the tip of the blade had a much higher speed compared to when she had her hand a bit further away from her, but on the other hand, the weapon took longer to swing.

"Time to test that out on a dummy.", were her thoughts. While testing both of the attacks on the dummy, she felt that the one, where her hands were closer, had much more force behind it. That could prove to be useful when trying to slam through an enemy block. Then she tried out how it felt when she used the weapon to stab. It was nothing fancy, just a single thrust right at the middle of the dummy. The mercenary immediately felt the resistance from the dummy and that her thrust had little power with her hands in their regular position.
So she tried something else. Namely by putting her left hand on the bottom of the pole and gave the handle a little room in her right, so she could slide her weapon through it. And then she tested this out on the dummy with clear results. The tip of the blade sunk into the wooden frame of the dummy from the generated force.

After having pulled her weapon free from the dummy, Revy contemplated. The weapon had much potential. It had excellent reach and it was not heavy, nor bulky. In fact, it was superior to her greatsword in most aspects, but if the enemy would come close, she'd be in trouble due to the handle having no threatening qualities. She'd have to use her legs if that were to happen. "Better start learning some more unarmed combat. Or well, at least some kicks and stuff.", she thought to herself.

She then resumed practicing. Not only by just swinging the weapon in different directions, or stabbing, but also by shifting her hands up and down the pole from time to time. Her moves ranged from upwardly aimed slashes, to thrusts aimed at torso and head. Most of the things she tried out, were almost immediately forsaken as they left her to vulnerable and she couldn't figure out how to adjust for that. Other moves, most of them very simple, seemed solid to her as they gave her the opportunity to stop the swing and block, or back off to safety.
Other things she learned were that bringing her hands closer together, she could generate more speed at the tip of the blade, but if she moved her left hand up, she lost a lot of strength, while gaining more speed due to the blade having to travel less distance to connect. Other things she noticed were that if she properly moved with the weapon, she could increase the speed of a swing, strength behind an attack or even change the direction of the attack. And this she trained until dawn, taking another five chime break a bell before sunrise.

Just after sunrise, did she change weapons. Having grabbed her longsword, she then started her regular routine. Small step forward while slashing down, move rear foot in. Then while bring the weapon up, small step back with her rear foot and while bringing the forward back, slash down again. Rinse repeat for fifty times...... if she didn't get interrupted.
After about twenty-five swings she suddenly heard a voice she'd rather have avoided. Sayren had woken up.... the girl that made Revy want to do all sorts of things to that body. Ever since she had gotten into her relationship with Zandelia, did she grow more and more perverted. She wanted to try all sorts of stuff with her love and it was eating at her that she couldn't.

She talked about the weather? What was this... for a round-a-bout way to start a conversation? ”What is it? I'm busy, so.. make it quick.”, she asked rather cold. ”Damn girl. Stop looking so good. I'm really frustrated right now, so just don't do anything stupid.”, she asked the girl mentally. Of course she couldn't say that out loud, afraid it might be taken the wrong way, but.... thinking was allowed right?

Sayren quickly seized a moment to gaze at Revy. She was dripping in sweat. The woman must've been training for a few bells now. That could've explained the light that was lit from earlier. Sayren's sleeping hasn't been as good as it used to be, and from what she can see on Revy, it must've not been doing so well on her either. The woman gave her a quick answer, objective and cold. Very much unlike the warmth she had granted Sayren during those days before. It discouraged Sayren. Making her feel like she was unwelcomed here in Revy's presence. Making her shoulders lower, and the smile fade. She chewed on her lip as she tried to find the words to say. She wanted to train, but Revy seemed...albeit very attractive with sweat rolling down her shapely body. The sun making the small drops shimmer in the light. She almost lost her words just in awe of the sight she was witnessing. Then her eyes, though they were attempting to remain in an objective glare, but it was struggling. Almost appearing to be happy to see Sayren, but angered by her presence all the same. Sayren was hoping for a chance to train with her, but in the overworked condition Revy was in, she had doubts they would do much training. Maybe a walk then? Through the market?

She finally mustered up a voice. Trying her bet to seem like her cheery normal self, "Well...since Ximal gave me a day to myself, I was hoping to train with you some more. But...that can wait for now. There's other things we can do. Maybe a stroll through the market? You seem like...something is weighing heavily on your mind still." She wanted to ask about the kiss, the warmth, but she had the feeling this would only worsen Revy's state. "Maybe a nice walk can help?" And possibly a chance to know each other more? If her vision wasn't clouded with the thought of taking the woman's lips for her own.

by **Revy Hiroe** on August 8th, 2013, 11:14 am

This girl... really seemed to piss Revy off. She seemed insecure somehow? Why? It wasn't like she wasn't courageous. After all, the girl did carry the woman's sword back, not to mention that she initiated a kiss of herself. What was bothering Revy the most was that this girl was oggling her. Had she really fallen in love with this mercenary or... was she just jealous? "Damn headache kid. Stop just popping up like that. Just beat it and leave me alone.", she thought to herself.

And then the girl's question came... She wanted to go for a walk..... or in other words a date. Wait what!? This girl asked her out on a date!? Who was she kidding? Revy already had someone in her life, so she didn't need another. "Oi.... I ain't goin' on a petching date with ya if that's what ya mean. I got Amelias... And nothing's gonna change that", she said. The pause she left was quite obvious, as if she wasn't content with her. After all, Zandelia was neglecting her.

"But.... if you mean just going shopping.. then maybe. Might be fun. I need a change of pace. Just keep in mind that I AIN'T going on a date with ya.", the mercenary then said. Ever since the Revy had found out the joy of shopping, if there was an opportunity, she'd go. "Maybe I should a couple of pants extra... I do have a few skirts, but... pants should be handy right? And maybe a few long sleeved shirts.", she thought to herself.

by **Sayren WindDancer** on August 8th, 2013, 12:54 pm

Sayren tilted her head when she heard Revy's response to her question. A Date? What was...a date? She only meant to spend time with her. Considering that she was the only other female in the entire school. That and well...she just couldn't get that kiss off her mind. Then Revy spoke of her having Amelias? That some strange flower or something? She was also pausing between her words, alot. Something must be severely wracking at her brain. Revy started to speak once again, saying how shopping in the market would be a good change of pace. But she wanted Sayren to keep in mind that it WASN'T a date. The petch was a date?!

Sayren could almost see a small smile now curve off Revy's lips. Maybe she enjoyed going out to explore the market too. Which was perfect, it'll provide Revy the best chance to be relax. And maybe...they can learn more about one another. Then possibly...Sayren can find out why she just...felt so strongly for her.

"It would do you some good to get out. You look like you went through a heavy training session." She tapped her chin in thought, but before doing that. Perhaps a shower would work too. It would relax the muscles. The droplets of water streaming down the body. Then her mind zoned off as it imagined Revy with her in the shower. She tried her best to keep her face objectified even though her cheeks were surely redden by the thought. "And maybe a quick shower would help too?...Just so it helps the muscles?" Her vision was becoming clouded again. Oh no...not good. Last time she felt that she kissed Revy. Though she welcomed the thought, she wasn't so sure how Revy would handle it. SO...

She removed her shirt. Folding it up before laying on the ground. Proceeded to thumb the waistbands of her pants and tug them down her slender legs along with the undergarments. She picks up both sets of her folded clothes and heads off to the shower. Trying to not even think about Revy at the moment. Relaxing the moment rushing water ran down her body. In her mind, she was conflicted in her actions. She didn't know why she did that, but she hoped the shower would at least calm her down. Why was she acting so strange in front of this woman?!

by **Revy Hiroe** on August 8th, 2013, 1:56 pm

The mercenary just listened to the girl's words. It was strange that she was actually staying calm with that girl seemingly giving her an order. Normally she only allowed Zandelia to do that, so why did she honestly consider that option now? Well... shopping for clothes was fun..... And trying new clothes on even more. But being told what to do was one thing she always disliked.... unless it was work.

Yet what the girl said next almost infuriated the woman. Did she just imply that Revy smelled? Wait, maybe she did, but still! You don't say that right? But her comment on how it could help the muscles was at least at least correct. Warm water helped relaxing. Not to mention it helped getting rid of sweat, which the mercenary now noticed dropping from her body. "Wow, I've really been sweating.", she thought to herself amazed.

"Just for your infor...", she started, but then saw Sayren undress and swallowed hard. She couldn't tear her eyes away from that body. Even though she was a brat, she was still very.. very good looking. However, she still didn't compare to Zandelia in the merc's opinion. Despite that, she still wanted to touch that body. Caress it and all other stuff that only happens behind closed doors. "She's your student, Revy, not to mention a young brat. Keep your hands to yourself. Don't do anything stupid which you might regret later on.", she thought to herself.

However as the girl was walking away, Revy blurted out: "Wait up, let me get some clothes from my room, so we can take a bath together."
Wait.... did she just really say that? She really wanted to take a bath with this kid? Why couldn't she keep her lust under proper control? She knew that Zandelia wouldn't like it... well maybe, if she got a piece too. Hey, maybe she could hook this girl so that both Zandelia and Revy could have some fun tormenting her.

Not waiting for an answer, Revy grabbed her glaive and it's sheath and stormed to her room. Once inside, she just dumped her weapons near the others and went through her clothes. What would be best to wear today? Oh, she knew almost immediately when she thought about Xi's reaction to it. She had decided on her dark blue skirt, along with the white shirt and her low boots.. "I'm sure that girl's jaw will drop when she sees me in this.", she thought both happy and a little lustful.

It was a few chimes later when Sayren felt a little more calm. She thought she was going nuts. Did she actually hear Revy ask to join her in a bath? That couldn't have been right. It must be her clouded mind placing more words and actions into her head. She placed her head under the running water. Hoping the water would cleanse her, calm her from these thoughts. Clear this clouded vision and wanton hopefulness. She wasn't sure about actually using soap this time around. She did clean herself the night before. The only reason she was in there now was because she was just trying to calm herself down. The warmed waters were already working their magic. Making her tense muscles unwind and relax under the gentle pressure of moisture beating against her skin.

Curiosity hit her as she sat down, letting the water cascade around her as she sighed. That felt amazing she thought. She closed her eyes for a few chimes. Enjoying the relaxation. But she knew her mind was wandering. It would come to her with thoughts. Thoughts of Revy, tracing at her Windmarks with her fingers...or her mouth. She chewed on her lip, what a sensation that would feel wouldn't it? Her mind became fogged with thoughts of Revy once more. So full of desire and lifelike. She could almost swear she felt Revy's presence in the room. But that couldn't be? Revy would never...would she?...

by **Revy Hiroe** on August 8th, 2013, 3:02 pm

The mercenary walked out of her room and didn't see the girl anymore. Had she actually heard her, or did she decide to just not wait? Either way, she was under the shower already. The woman could hear this much when she approached the bathroom. "Damn brat, didn't I ask her to wait for me?", she thought a little annoyed to herself. Of course Revy didn't realize that Sayren was just in the shower to clear her head. She thought that the girl went in because she too had been training. Where she didn't know, but that didn't matter.

Upon entering the room, she saw Sayren sitting under the shower. Her eyes closed while she enjoyed the water clattering down her body. "She really is too darn cute.", Revy thought as she quickly got out of her leather armor and undergarment. She dumped those on a pile, while she put her change of clothes on the sink. Only then did she notice that she had forgotten a change of underwear. "Oh well, won't matter anyway... probably. She won't notice if I don't say anything about it."

Walking over, she started to examine Sayren's body. It was clearly better looking now, then when she wore her clothing. Didn't this girl have some clothing that would actually make her look better? If she didn't, Revy would have to make sure that she did, otherwise Zandelia would refuse her most likely. "Ey brat, couldn't you wait as I asked you?", she asked with a rather cold tone in her voice. And while she asked this, she had entered the bath. "By the way, nice tattoo. Who did that for you?", she then asked as she traced along the lines with her hand. "Oh yeah, plug the bath please and turn up the heat. Can't reach it from here, or should I reach behind you?", was her final question as the mercenary smirked.

by **Sayren WindDancer** on August 8th, 2013, 3:41 pm

Sayren was enjoying the cascading water down her shoulders too much to have noticed Revy coming in. Even if she did, she would've suspected her mind of trying to trick her with another illusion. Even with her eyes closed, she could still picture Revy undressing before her. Little did she know, Revy WAS undressing. Even sauntered into the bath with her. All without Sayren's noticed, till she heard her voice. Sayren's eyes opened wide. There Revy was. Completely unclothed and asking her why didn't she wait? Was this simply another overwhelming allusion?? Then Sayren realized this wasn't. Revy traced her fingers against Sayren's windmarks, questioning the one who had put the ink to her skin and telling her how nice it looked on her. The question didn't even register, the simple tracing from Revy's fingers on her marks were sending jolts across her skin. An unintentional whimper had even slipped from her lips.

Sayren's eyes milked in the sight of Revy. Bare and completely exposed. Her bust easily was right in Sayren's line of sight. The curvature of her hips. The slenderness of her legs. Tattoos lightly decorated across her skin along with a scar here and there. SHe admired every inch of skin she could find on Revy. Then her eyes finally managed to drag themselves up to Revy's. She was smirking as she gave the simple command to plug up the bath and turn up the heat. Mainly cause she couldn't reach. Or was Revy just going to have to reach behind her? Sayren blinked, her voice lodged in her throat.

She was chewing on her lip frantically. The woman had managed to completely shatter her thought process with just a few simple words. And being nude in front of her, that could add on a few points. The young girl's body told her to kiss the woman, and little thought left to stop her, she lifted herself up to greet Revy with a deepened kiss. Her skin was on fire, and it wasn't from the heat of the water either. It was because her lips crashed into Revy's. Caving her to a desire she had craved for the last ten days. Now fulfilled. Her body on the other hand...desired more now.

by **Revy Hiroe** on August 9th, 2013, 1:03 pm

This girl was... sensitive. She already squirmed just from a slight touch. And apparently she was really... mesmerized by what she saw. Was this girl not used to women or was she completely in love or so? Either way, this was perfect for the mercenary. She just had to play her cards right to get the girl to do what she wanted. However, she wasn't going to do anything just yet. Maybe just a kiss or two. The rest, she'd save for when she was with Zandelia again.

The girl didn't listen to what the mercenary had said. Instead she stole a kiss from Revy. Well... that was ok. But she could already feel that her lust for more was building up. "Better break it off. Otherwise.. I might go further then just a kiss.", she thought to herself as she pushed the girl back. "Let's save that for later, shall we? I gotta get myself cleaned up, so we can go shopping.", she chided the girl, "If we would continue this, we wouldn't have time to go to the city anymore, you know.", she finished with a wink.

It really felt good to be able to touch another again. It was like her frustrations with Zandelia were just dissipating. She wasn't in love with this girl, that much she already knew. She just wanted her body. This actually made her feel a little guilty, but it didn't weigh at all against the relief of the decreasing stress. "So just plug the bath and turn up the heat so we both can soak a little longer."
