Outside, by the lake

[twiststheblade]

Miho is perched on a sun-warmed rock, working with files and cloths and emery powder on a blade. A small knife, this time. Very small. Very sharp. Completely deadly.

"May I see?" Miho asks, extending a hand.

"Of course." She offers it to the girl, watching her with green eyes far, far older then her face.

[twiststheblade]

Miho hefts the axe briefly, juggles it from side to side. Makes an experimental pass or two, and nods. "Feels good. I don't know much about axes, though."

"Nearly all of my brothers use swords, and are over six foot...I had to do something a little different."

[twiststheblade]

Miho laughs at that, grinning again.

"Nice thought. Want to show me how you use it, some time?"

[scion-of-amber.livejournal.com]

A formal bow.

"It would be my pleasure, Miho."

[twiststheblade]

Grinning, Miho bows back, just as deep. "Honoured, then."

"Do you live here?"

[twiststheblade]

"For now?" She ponders. "I suppose I do, yes."

[scion-of-amber.livejournal.com]

"I'll probably catch you soon, then."

[twiststheblade]

"I'd like that," she smiles.

[scion-of-amber.livejournal.com]

She twists her hands, and the axe vanishes.

"I'll catch you 'round, then."

[twiststheblade]

"Likewise," with a nod.

She smiles, inclines her head, and then makes her way inside.
