3rd of Winter, 513AV – Cobalt Mountains

At the mountains, not too far from the city, a young man was hiking to an area where he’ll meet a man, by the name of Sei Tendo, who can teach him what he needed to know about hiding. When Rose heard man at the tavern taking about hunting and how well his skills were, Rose couldn’t help but asking the man if he could teach him how to hunt. Rose wasn’t much of a hunter, or a man who has raw physical ability, but he needed to how to hide or stay hidden. If he had that knowledge of that skill, he could pass it down to his golem so that they could hide from prying eyes. He knew well that magic’s reputation wasn’t all that great, and if someone saw his little dolls, he fears they may look down on him.

Trekking his way to the destination, Rose could just see a large tree with a unique rock formation when Sei told him to meet. He hurried on over to the meeting spot and dropped his backpack under the tree. Rose packed very lightly, only bringing a few rations of food, a waterskin and a knife. Wiping the sweat off his forehead, he placed his back on the trunk of tree before sliding down on the ground. Rose hasn’t even started his lesson and he already feels exhausted, he didn’t know how much effort it was to trudge through the Cobalt Mountain. By the looks of it Sei wasn’t here yet, so Rose decided to a small rest to regain his loss strength.

“Phew… I don’t think I’ve sweated this much since my Imitation Ritual…” Rose thought to himself, shuddering at the his childhood trauma. Rose continued resting, waiting for Sei to appear.

Sei listened to the whistling wind high in the tree of the meeting place. He had been at the Rearing Stallion the other day with some friends, and they were talking about the hunt they'd been on recently. All of a sudden some guy came up to him and his buddies and requested a lesson. Sei had agreed, told him where to meet, and yet he'd forgotten to ask the guy's name. He groaned, and turned to see the kid coming up the path with light equipment. The kid looked exhausted, and sweat coated his his face. He's definitely not physically fit. The boy leaned against the tree. The boy had a knife, but it definitely wasn't for combat.

Sei however, had come prepared. His Crescent Twins were in their sheaths hanging from a nearby branch, and he wore his studded leather armor. His quiver was strapped across his back, and his bow was in his hand. He put the sheathes on his waist, and carefully hopped out of the tree.

"'Ello. Nice to see you made it. I forgot to ask your name last time, so mind telling me what it is?" He asked, looking the boy up and down.

Still waiting under the shade of the tree, Rose sat patiently for the hunter to appear. Rose kept himself occupied by using his knife to whittle away at a nearby branch. However, his whittling didn’t last long. A man jumped down from the tree that rose was resting against, startling him and cause him to lightly cut his index finger. The wound wasn’t anything major, it was only a scratch. Rose looked up at the man and saw that he was wearing armour that was made of leather with small metallic bits through it, and upon his back was a quiver full of arrows. Within the man’s hand, he held a bow. This person was Sei. “So you were… in the tree?” Rose said in a slight confused manner, licking his wound.

Sei spoke to rose asking his name, because he had forgot to ask it at the tavern. “Oh, right, My name. Uh, it’s Rose, Rose Soulum.” He said, sliding himself up the tree to stand back on his own two feet.

Sei watched the boy, and listened carefully. At first, he just stared normally at the boy for a couple of minuted. Then he burst out into uncontrollable laughter. He dropped to his knees, losing his composure, and held his stomach. He then began to gasp for air. When gained his air once again, he started the next round of laughs. He Stood to his feet, and pointed a shaky finger in the boys face.

"Dear Ionu, please tell me your joking! How do you expect to get any respect with a name like that!?" He said, calming his laughter. After a few moments, he stopped laughing. He then walked over to Rose and frowned. He took a deep breath, and stepped back. After that he suddenly tossed one of the daggers at his side to the boy, and spoke.

"Ahem. I not going to just teach you because you asked. You'll have to prove your worth my time first. I wanna see how good you are. If you can't keep up I refuse to teach you. All you have to do is last a little bit. Deal?" Sei said giving the boy his signature smirk. Sei grabbed the remaining dagger and charged the boy.

OOCJust a short twist, but don't worry. It won't be serious.

Soon after Rose introduced himself, he was met it an man with an uncontrollable laughter. As Sei laughed and literally falling to his knees, he mocked Rose’s name. Rose knew his name wasn’t very masculine, but he could help but feel pissed off as he watched Sei bellowing out his laughter while holding his stomach. Once Sei had finish, he got up wiping a tear from his eye. However, His expression quickly changed. Rose watched Sei advancing towards him, pulling out a dagger and tossing it to him. Rose looked at the dagger in confusion and picked it up just as Sei began speaking. At first Sei’s words didn’t make any sense, but when Sei drawn his and began to charge towards him, he figured out what he was talking about.

Rose, who was holding the dagger like a child holding a sword, was in a fit of panic. Rose flinched. Rose wanted to get out of the way, but his body didn’t want to move. That’s when a minute discharge of Res accumulated on his right shoulder, transmuting into a small pulse of air that toppled Rose to the left, just barely dodging the swipe of Sei’s dagger. Roses fell to the ground and by the looks of it, he was in a worst position than he was before. With Sei towering over him, Rose Unskilfully pointed the dagger towards Sei as he scampered away to get a bit of distance to get up on his feet. Back on his feet, Rose once again held the dagger in the most effective way possible.

“Maybe we can negotiate on this deal, maybe?” Rose said, trying to persuade Sei. However, his chances of doing so seem very slim. By the looks of the smirk on Sei’s face, He was having fun. Rose continue holding his stance, stressing defence over offence.

The boy jumped out of the way, and Sei chuckled at the boy's attempt of persuasion. He obviously had no real physical skill, and Sei stepped up to the boy, and snatched the dagger out of his hand. He sheathed them both, and turned his back to the boy. He glanced back over his shoulder and gave the boy an intimidating glare. He turned back around and muttered something under his breath. He turned his head away, and spoke without turning around. His words were cold and harsh.

"Your worthless. You didn't even try to defend yourself, instead you stood there frozen in fear. If you were in a death match your fear would've gotten you killed. I refuse to teach you anything, especially since you have no physical talent." He said, he turned back around to face the boy with an angered look. He took a dagger from his sheath and held it toward the boy. Just as he was about to throw it, he re-sheathed dagger and smiled happily.

"You should've seen tne look on your face just now Rose!" He said bursting into laughter. Sei put a hand on Rose's shoulder and smirked.

"What is it you wanted to learn again?" He asked seriously, giving the boy a puzzled look.

A craftsman is up against a Huntsman, not the best match up for combat. Rose held the dagger in his hands with a firm grip. However, Sei sheathed his dagger and shot a glare that turned Rose to stone. As Sei walked towards Rose, Rose’s guard slowly dropped out of confusion. He didn’t know what the man was doing. Soon after, Sei was in close proximity and snatched the dagger straight out of Rose’s hands and sheathed it. He turned around without a word, giving Rose the cold shoulder. Rose’s confusion has been doubled, but with a bit of fear mixed into it. He began talking, his word pierce through Rose, making him grit his teeth and slowly boiled his anger. When Sei drawn his dagger from the sheath and began to indicate that he was going to throw it at him, Rose raised his hands up. Although Rose didn’t like reimancy, this was a life or death situation and he needed to survive. Rose began producing liquid Res from his hands and was about to send out a small force wave to topple Sei, but then he sheathed his dagger. The Res quickly decayed when Rose’s confusion had reached its limits. Soon after Sei placed his hand on him shoulder and told him that it was all a joke.

“w-what?!” Rose said in a fit of hysteria. “What the hell you arse?!” Rose continued. His mind was all other the place. Rose didn’t know what to do, but then Sei asked what it was he wanted to learn. Calming himself down, rose slowly gathered his thoughts and let out a small sigh.

“I’d like to… know how to be a bit stealthy. You’re a hunter, right? Surely you need some sort of hiding technique” Rose said

Sei watched the boy go into hysteria. He still had the satisfaction of Rose's face at his prank. He watched the boy sigh, and listened to his answer. He nodded and patted Rose's shoulder.

"Sorry 'bout that, but I couldn't resist the temptation." He said apologetically. He then looked around. He was to be stealthy, huh? Well, I guess it couldn't hurt. Sei took a step back and thought about how to go about it.

"Okay so first off, I'll have to admit I'm not the best teacher. If you don't understand something you should tell me so I can explain further." He began, pacing left to right. He stopped mid step to face Rose and sat cross-legged on the ground. "Sit." He commanded. He then began to explain.

"First rule of stealth; Be silent. Don't talk, don't make noise, and don't attract attention to yourself. When I say don't attract attention, I don't mean just try to be 'normal', I mean just be the same as you usually would act." He said. "Understand?"

After hearing Sei's Apology, Rose replied to him with an “it's a.” The apology sounded genuine, so Rose allowed the prank to slide without holding any emotions to it. Soon after, The lesson of stealth had begun.

“Umm... Okay, It's should be okay.” Rose said. A teacher that 'wasn't the best' is better than no teacher. Rose was feeling quite eager to learn. Stealth is something that can not only be useful for his dolls, but for himself as well. Who knows what a person could do if he's hiding away from sight.

Rose listened to Sei's Lecture. According to Sei, Stealth had rules. Rose was a bit baffled by this, he always thought that all physical skills didn't have rules. It goes to show how dim he was when it cam to moving him body. “First rule, no noise and no attention.” Rose said diligently, with a face that expressed pure focus.

Sei nodded, and continued his explanation. "This also goes along with my first rule; Watch. Your. Step." He said. "Your footing can always give you away. Say your hunting a deer, and you just run willy-nilly after it. Your within range to make the kill-- and you step on a weak twig and it snaps. What happens? It hears you and gets away. Stealth is about staying hidden. Be careful of your footwork." He explained. He looked at Rose, and noticed how hard he was focusing.

Sei laughed heartily, and smacked his hand down on Rose's shoulder. "Why are you so focused? You look like your trying to make my head explode with your eyes!" He said, grinning through his teeth.
