Location: The gym, and later FOOD PLACES.
Summary: how do I shot meteor hammer. Teaching time with Gaara-sensei! Follows on from this thread.
Warnings: None.

[Gaara had been resigned to teaching others how to use his weapon from the get-go. Meteor hammers aren't a popular weapon choice even amongst shinobi, and he only knows how to use it thanks to his ~beloved~ father's extensive and somewhat overdone weapon training. It's an appropriate weapon, but it's appropriate for him, coincidentally the one person unable to wield it in a battle.

He's going to end up very used to this gymnasium, he decides. They gained entry the moment Mikoto came into view - apparently Players get a free pass, no questions asked - and he moves to stand near the centre of the room after leaving his uniform bag near the wall.]

What kind of weapons are you used to?

[BUT BROTHER, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?]

Okay.

[She she tries, but uh... the weight DRAGS her with it.]

[ninjasloveme]

[Is just... going to catch her as she staggers towards him. Okay, he needs to rethink this.]

Good try. [wraps more of the rope around her hand and wrist, so it's more manageable.] Are you alright?

[awildcatappears]

[She appreciates that.]

I think so. Sorry.

[ninjasloveme]

There's no need to apologise. [when she's got her balance again, he lets the hammer fall from his hand, so it's swinging like a pendulum from her closed fist. Back and forth, back and forth. She needs to get comfortable with it before trying again.]

[awildcatappears]

[Tick tock tick tock. Just-- uh... wait... it's too late... now she's memorized by it.]

[ninjasloveme]

[......... oh good grief.]

Mikoto.

[awildcatappears]

[Yes Charlie Brown? brb still being memorized.]

[ninjasloveme]

[will confiscating the weapon help whatsoever.


he hopes so, because that's what he's doing.]

[awildcatappears]

[Well it's stopped moving, so she's back to normal now.]]

Huh?

[ninjasloveme]

That's enough training for now.

[what's a good distraction... oh, he knows.]

Are you hungry?

[awildcatappears]

But--

[It's kinda on cue, but her stomach is making some noises.]

A little, I guess.

[ninjasloveme]

[gives her a bemused nod. He's apparently slipped into 'dealing with Naruto' mode without actually realising it, good going Mikoto]

We'll train again afterwards. Keep my weapon with you until then.

[awildcatappears]

Okay!

[ninjasloveme]

[aaand off to food. He'll pick up her bag too, so she can concentrate on not tripping over the flail]

[awildcatappears]

[Why are you being the big brother type? IS THIS THE PATH IN THE GAME I SHOULD TAKE. But she swings it back and forth slightly, trying to get used to the weight. But she follows Gaara.]

/is professional

[ninjasloveme]

[SCENE CHANGE]

[CAFETERIA MONTAGE. FOOD, FOOD, OCCASIONAL BURSTS OF STILTED, AWKWARD CONVERSATION.]

[AND THEN THEY WERE WALKING BACK TO THE GYM.]

Is it easier to carry now?

ashdfjkg lmao ilu

[awildcatappears]

Uh huh! [She's happy because 1. food 2. she's used to the weight. VICTORY!]

|DD

[ninjasloveme]

[she is very easily pleased, isn't she? It's actually somewhat relaxing to be around her.]

Let's practise, then.

[awildcatappears]

Okay! [except in her excitement, the end part of the hammer slams into a wall. Um whoops]

[ninjasloveme]

[which, of course, feeds back to Gaara as the vague feeling he's just been hit with a brick

He doesn't say anything, but he flinches rather noticeably.]

[awildcatappears]

... [upset kinda puppy look.]

[ninjasloveme]

[he's fine, he's fine. He'll work out what THAT was later.]

That was... a good throw.

[awildcatappears]

I didn't mean to do it though.

Sorry. Are you okay?

[ninjasloveme]

Yeah. [the last thing he needs is her scared of using the weapon. He goes back over to her and kneels down, so he's looking up at her.] You didn't mean to, so it's fine.

[awildcatappears]

... [She looks away for a moment and then looks back at him.]

I'll be more careful.
