(open) DID THEY SEND ME DAUGHTERS...

Date & Time: January 6th through January 11th
Location: Training Room
Characters: Asami Sato, open
Summary: Asami doesn't have a vehicle readily available, so the next best thing for stress relief is her routinely visit to the training room.
Warnings: Violence

This had been an eventful week. Wanda was the first person she'd developed a relationship with who disappeared without a trace, and furthermore she was almost certain Yuna had gone as well. Maybe Asami was supposed to be filled with a little extra hope knowing that the Transports really did serve their time and didn't have to stay forever, but instead she felt a surreal emptiness. Almost everything about the Initiates felt so arbitrary, and she was finished with uncertainty. But while new friends were leaving, old friends were coming in; Mako was among the fresh leak of Transports transferring in, and that left a mess in her chest all on its own.

Thankfully she had her routine. Training was her time to ease out frustration and confusion, because she was determined not to let anything get to her otherwise. Exertion was too gratifying to let her home life or her romantic life interrupt her wellbeing. The more she accomplished on her own, the more likely she could look upon her friends with easy eyes and still feel a sense of gain, not one of loss. It was even more important to prove her worth to her father should he ever arrive.

Asami was especially diligent throughout the week in the face of an old problem. She trained by herself when she wasn't training with other people. Her currently fried hair, which was undergoing treatments with conditioners after a recent mishap, was pulled out of her face and loosely braided throughout the week to disguise the texture; and while she might've been serious about improving, she was never one to skip out on accessorizing. Flair made her feel a little more like herself, others' doubtful impressions be damned.

A nod from Lucy, smiling. "Of course!" As for the sparring - well, how else will she get stronger? And that was definitely something she wanted to do - that's why she came to the training room.

As Asami moved away to demonstrate her glove, Lucy folded her arms to watch intently, brown eyes widening slightly at that strike of electricity. "Whoah..!" Suitably impressed, she clapped for her friend. "That was great, Asami!"

She made it look so effortless. But then, Lucy probably did the same with her whip when she used it.

"Don't be silly," Lucy waved a hand gently, "Getting hit with electricity like that, that'd be no fun for anyone, especially if you kept up a constant flow like that." In any case, with Asami ready, Lucy took a breath, nodding as she hooked her fingers around her whip handle, pulling it off of her belt.

"That's absolutely fine." It's not like she was going to use her spirits to fight with - that would be extremely unfair. Besides, she needed to improve with the whip, not her spirit fighting. No, that, she had to train in a totally different way.

Bracing herself for Asami's first move, Lucy got her 'game face' on, so to speak. When Asami drew in to attack her whip-arm, Lucy moved backwards - she can't fight in close with someone if she was using a whip, after all. And Asami was a close fighter; her first attempt was to avoid Asami enough to get some distance between them - she didn't need much, but she whipped her arm forward after a few steps, aiming to snare Asami's ankle and trip her up.
