w0, TUESDAY

[bindings]

[today, shenhe is lurking around the tennis courts. she can be found swinging a racket as hard as she possibly can, regarding it with a sort of intensity that one might have in a dangerous situation.

she's not paying attention!]

[crimebaby]

[ livio is admiring this training montage..... ]

[ this time he keeps a distance when he approaches so as not to startle her. ]

Hello, Miss Shenhe. Are ya training?

[bindings]

[thankfully he's not too close, so she doesn't jump. she peers at him.]

No. I am testing the weight of these. [...] Livio, right?

[crimebaby]

Seeing if they'd make a good weapon?

[ there's no judgment, he's just curious. but he'll start approaching slowly now that he is more confident he will not scare her. with a smile! ]

Yeah. Ya might have heard a bit more about me now.... [ he's expecting wolfwood and vash to have described him as a loser to their team ]

[bindings]

Yes. It wouldn't be a bad idea to have more than one.

[as for the rest, she raises an eyebrow.] No. I haven't. Should I have?

1/2

[crimebaby]

[ oh rip ]

... Oh.

[crimebaby]

[ well, at least he can make a good second impression?? ]

[ no, he cannot, he is a loser ]

I-I'm a friend of Vash and Wolfwood [ kind of? he thinks? maybe? ], your new teammates! So.... If there's any way I can ever help you out, just let me know!

[ livio so smooth ]

[bindings]

[help this poor boy]

I know that you're a friend of them. [she says, a little amused.] ... That is kind of you. Because you are their friend, I'll extend the same offer to you.

[crimebaby]

[ he's doing his best. ]

I appreciate it. And I appreciate you helpin' em out..... Wolfwood told me you were helping him with his psych.

[ thank you for helping his big brother who is the best in the world forever? ]

[bindings]

He did not need my help. He just needed someone to tell him he could do it.

[she folds her arms.] But you're welcome. I seem to be useful for lighting fires.

[crimebaby]

He's pretty stubborn, so even that can be a lot.

[ giving her a little grin ]

Did you figure out out how to make it work for you?

[bindings]

[she pauses... and focuses. a tiny little flame appears in her palm.]

Somewhat. [she is a bird lighter]

[crimebaby]

Hey, that's good precision! [ that's already good progress from accidentally burning livio combo to making something so small. ]

I'm practicing with mine, too. We could work on it together if ya want. [ he's not scared of being a little burned ]

[bindings]

[nodding!] Alright. What are the limits of yours that you have found so far?

[crimebaby]

If I rely on it too much, it wipes me out. [ which is frankly a strange sensation ]

I can summon something to drop on someone, but it disappears quickly.

[bindings]

For me, too. [as far as the first part goes.] I can create a weapon, and chains.

[crimebaby]

Outta fire? [ fire sword... fire chains.... that sounds very badass, thanks ] That's pretty cool.

w0, POST-TRIAL

[crimebaby]

[ he will be looking for her like a good few hours after trial but he has brought food from ikea..... ]

Miss Shenhe? Have ya eaten?

[ kind of keeping a bit of distance and being a lil awkward because he's not sure if she's mad at him or not ]

[bindings]

[this is so sweet of him i'm crying

she doesn't seem to be angry at him necessarily. she doesn't just leave when he approaches her, which is what she would do if she was. instead, she just watches him.]

No. My head has been pounding too hard to do so.

[crimebaby]

[ he worries...... ]

[ offering her a variety of snacks and a water bottle... ]

Can get ya some real food if ya want. Think the water might help with your head, at least.

[bindings]

[she will take the water bottle and drink from it, at least]

... I'm not hungry. [she's full of rage where her hunger should be]

[crimebaby]

[ i read that in the same energy as 'i'll take this potato chip and eat it' ]

[ still offering snacks but he won't super push it ]

Just wanna make sure ya keep your strength up.

... You were right today, by the way.

[bindings]

[yeah there's about the same amount of violence to it, tbh]

About what? [she glances at him, curiously.]

[crimebaby]

[ will she take the snax after all... ]

... Not hesitating. Can't really afford to play nice when we're down to the wire.

[bindings]

[she won't push them away! they can just chill.]

Oh. [...] I'm not concerned about nice or mean. You just have to choose. Standing in the middle does nothing.

[if he'd decided not to act, that would also be acceptable, she thinks.]
