[i]The air was still when she entered the gates of the Dojo that evening. Diana's hair was still the same bright shade of red that it usually was and if anything it looked... Brighter, at the moment. Her hair was draped over her left shoulder which overlapped the white of her tee shirt, one that was only covering the left shoulder and slightly falling off her right shoulder. The woman's eyes were still as blue as ever and even sparkled as she looked to the nights sky, shining brighter than any of the stars that cast their eternal gaze upon the establishment.
Diana bore no weapons aside from the katana on her back, which rests in a black carbon fibre sheath with ornate golden markings flooding the sheath, stemming from the spot where her blades crossguard met the sheath. The bottom of her swords case would occasionally cross paths with her pants, which were just a pair of skinny blue jeans in a navy blue shade. The woman had a pair of boots that went over the bottom of her jeans, which were a brown colour and had appeared to be a pair of heels. How this woman had fought in then wasn't really known, though there were a few guesses that could be made.
The pale-skinned beauty wandered through the massive gates just then as she scanned her surroundings, which appeared to be a horridly barren courtyard, with nobody to watch the woman train. This was good, she thought, because it lets her practice without fear of judgement from anybody who would typically be watching. And so she activated her pair of wireless earbuds just then, pulled out her phone, and put on something somber that would help her train. She figured that training while listening to music would help her immensely, as that's the case with most people when doing anything of this nature.
And so when she placed her left hand on the black hilt of her katana, she felt a sense of comfort wash over her. The blade was expelled with a swift and fluid motion as she slashed the air directly in front of her and lunged forwards, to which she followed up to by allowing her blade to meet the dust by her right leg which was behind her. She turned the blade around and slashed upwards to bring the blade by her right arm again, and spun in a full circle on her left leg to slash at the throat of her "enemy." The heels were retracted into the soles of her shoes at the start of her training, and replaced by a platform below the heel which allowed it to feel and act like a pair of regular boots. She practiced for what felt like hours, sweat dripping off her glistening face and occasionally landing on the completely blue blade of her steel weapon. [/i]

*As she trains a strange orange winged cat watches her, impressed at many of her moves, thinking in his head improvements that can be made*
-
[i]Diana executed a leap in the air, which would have left her stomach open if she didn't have her blade by her side to block, which is what she did. She drove the weapon into the heart of whatever imaginary target stood there, before standing to take a momentary rest. [/i]
-
*The cat looks at her, impressed, then walks a little closer, a little threatened*
-
[i]Dian took a glance down to the approaching cat, as a look of slight curiosity crossed her face. A winged cat, that's a bit strange to her. [/i]
-
*He notices the slight confusion and tries to dismiss is, forgetting a talking winged cat is not normal* Oh, uh, you never saw wings on a cat before?
-
"Nope, never seen a talking one either." [i]The redheaded beauty softly spoke, as an accent of British descent filled her words seamlessly. [/i]
-
Welp that's to be expected, I'm pretty sure there are only two catwings in the world... But enough about that. Who are you?
-
"Diana. You?"
-
Hmm... Diana. Not a bad name. I'm Mion.
-
"It's a pleasure, Mion."
-
Same, Diana, though it's unclear why you are training alone. Of course, this is coming from a cat like creature who can only defend himself with teeth and claws, and honestly I don't like putting people's limbs in my mouth.
-
"Because most people think that every conversation with me will end in sex, so I train alone."
-
Ah, okay. That's a strange thing to assume, but then again this place is pretty much owned by horny pubescent teenagers. *There is a distinct shattering sound as the Fourth Wall collapses yet again*
-
"Yeeeah, I feel as if I was put into the world just to play those people and manipulate them." *4TH wall doesn't break, rather 18th wall does*
-
That's a strange thing to think...
-
"And so is thinking that everyone here is a horny 14 year old."
-
True, I don't think I fall under that category... But you know, the term "Pea brain" was coined for a reason
-
"Fair enough."
-
Yup...

[i]a pair of fluffy black housecats are watching her from a distance with the blue eye. You don't notice them at first but one of them turns into a shot woman with catlike blue eyes. She also has ears and a fluffy tail. She doesn't approach right away[/i]
-
[i]Diana hadn't noticed the catlike neko-esque woman until she executed a spin to slash behind her, to which she locked eyes with her for a brief moment. A look of slight embarrassment flushed her already red face which concealed the blushing, thank god for training. [/i]
-
[i]she says nothing but the cat next her does[/i] "Quit staring staring sis it rude"says the cat "Oh you hush kimi im just watching i haven't seen that fighting style before"says the woman [i] the cat jumps up into the woman arms [/i]
-
[i]Diana simply focuses on the music once more before returning to her training, which was started again by a combat roll forwards, followed by a spin and a slash up her imaginary enemy's back. She looked to be a highly offensive and agile target, seeing as her SO was more the defensive swordswoman. [/i]

Edited by NightBloomsFell: 8/9/2016 5:57:57 PM[i]they both watch her in silence. Kimi watching in awe at her skill level. Keira is impressed too[/i]
-
[i]The woman wasn't the best swordsman to exist, that title belonged to an old friend of another age (AKA another RP), but damn did Diana strive to perfect her attacks. She was still a trainee in bladesmanship of course, but she was good. [/i]
