...Yeah, no kidding. [Uuuugh, goddamn experiments. Actually, though, speaking of experiments-] Hey, if it's over, is Ling around? I wanted to talk to him.

[And they're always together, right?]

When I left, he was still at the apartment, so you can check to see if he is there.

[Wait, what?]

...You're not with him?

[personal profile] oftheyin 2012-04-20 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
No. I'm in need of extra training, so I have left his side for the time being.
automailed: (you did what with what?)

[personal profile] automailed 2012-04-20 06:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, huh. [Extra training? But she's already kind of... ridiculously strong.] Sorry to get in your way, then.

[personal profile] oftheyin 2012-04-20 06:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[Have a very weak smile, Edward.]

You are not in the way at all. It is nice to see you are doing well. [At least she thinks he is.]
automailed: ([manga] forgive your big brother?)

[personal profile] automailed 2012-04-21 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, you too. [Well, in a manner of speaking. That is a weak smile after all. Man, he can relate.] ...Can I ask what kind of training? Or is it some kind of secret Xingese thing?

[personal profile] oftheyin 2012-04-21 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
[She looks away from him.]

I'm afraid that being here has made me weak, so I wish to train and become a better bodyguard for Ling.
automailed: (eh what?)

[personal profile] automailed 2012-04-21 02:03 pm (UTC)(link)
...You're not weak, Ran Fan.

[Not after what he saw - mostly heard - last week, the battle with Gluttony and Pride. She must've killed Gluttony single handedly more than a dozen times over.

He could never think of her as weak. Not after that.]


You're stubborn as hell and way too reckless, but you're definitely not weak.

[personal profile] oftheyin 2012-04-21 05:16 pm (UTC)(link)
I thank you for your kind words. [And not so kind, but she won't address that.] But I am not living up to the standards that my grandfather lied down for me. I... I have to do this for Ling and myself.
automailed: (not really cool with that actually.)

[personal profile] automailed 2012-04-22 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
...Well... if you ever need somebody else to spar with, just let me know. I need to keep up with my training, too.

[Especially with Al gone... he's lost his best sparring partner.]

[personal profile] oftheyin 2012-04-23 01:39 am (UTC)(link)
I would appericate that. Thank you. [She actually gave him a small smile.]
automailed: ([manga] just do your best.)

[personal profile] automailed 2012-04-23 05:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hey, a smile! That's progress. He'll take progress.]

So should I tell him you're hard at work as ever?

[personal profile] oftheyin 2012-04-23 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[And now she's avoiding eye contact.]

He knows.
automailed: ([manga] sooo... not okay then.)

[personal profile] automailed 2012-04-24 05:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[...well, that cements it. There's a problem with Ling.]

...Right. Sorry.

[personal profile] oftheyin 2012-04-24 06:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I will talk to you later then. [She bows.] And hopefully we can spar soon.
automailed: (you did what with what?)

[personal profile] automailed 2012-04-25 03:39 am (UTC)(link)
I'm fine with that. Just give me a call whenever you want to fight.

[He lifts a hand to wave her off. He'll leave her be now- he still has to track down Ling.]
