Training

[swordofzero]

Characters: Suzaku and whoever
Format: prose
This log is: open
Location: In a clearing in the woods
Summary: Suzaku freaks out a little about forgetting Japanese/the system deciding his language is english and translating everything into english for him (he hasn't decided which it is yet) and goes through sword training with a stick
Warnings: None

Training had always made Suzaku feel a little calmer and so it had been a coping mechanism since he was very young. So it was really no surprise that the moment maths class was over he had made his way into the woods, as far away as any gatherings of people and found a suibtable stick to fill in for a sword. His uniform was a little awkward to train in but it was the only thing he owned here apart from his Knight uniform and he did not want to wear that.

Especially not at the moment. As he started going through the farmilliar sword forms that Toudou had taught him he tried to keep his mind blank and to think of only the movements. But his mind was still spinning. He had forgotten Japanese, or the system (whatever the system was and however it even worked, he hadn't worked that out yet) had decided to translate everything to English for him. As of yet he hadn't decided what would be worse.

No he wasn't meant to be thinking! His movements which had ceased a little started up again and he did his best to keep his mind clear. How did the system work? Had they just decided on English because he was Lelouch's knight, or did the system scan your brain and work out... no that was a stupid thought. Systems couldn't scan your brain. Suzaku was being stupid and he knew it. "Concentrate," he muttered and went back to the sword forms.

Suzaku might not have been aware of it, but he was being observed. Very closely. Random person wandering in the forest which she and Kotarou had 'claimed' for their own had to be scrutinized, after all.

Especially someone who was obviously doing martial training. That was grounds for immediate suspicion. Though he smelled completely human.

After a good while, Huashi was starting to get annoyed. Either he could train all proper-like, or he could do his thinking (preferably not here!).

"You're not gonna get anything done like that!" Huashi finally accused from her spot lying stretched out on a tree branch, scrounged apple in one hand and tail dangling down.

It looked like Suzaku had a stalker today.

Mei had spotted him sulking off to the woods and, seeing the opportunity to spy on another Player, she couldn't pass up following after. She lurked from behind one tree to another until he finally picked a clearing to practice in. From that point, she had just stuck it out behind the last tree she had hidden behind. The tiny girl is still there, peeking out from behind the tree trunk. She wouldn't be too hard to spot, so long as the person looking took heights into consideration. That school uniform stuck out like a sore thumb in a forest.

"...nnnn, he really is a knight. He's going to know how to use all the weapons."

Mei chewed on a knuckle, putting on her super serious deep thought look. Hrmmm. How could she challenge someone who actually had a clue and win?

Kallen happened to be walking around on campus when she caught something off in the distance. Natural instinct told her to check it out, so she did. Slowly she approached and saw a familiar face. There was something about Suzaku that she felt... was off. She remembered that she killed him. She knew it was because of the war, but... It wasn't until that dinner party the other night that she had gotten the first chance to question it.

There was something missing.

She made herself visible to him, not exactly sure how to start a conversation with someone you've killed in your world.
