When; Today; late afternoon/early evening
Rating; PG
Characters; Aya onceaweiss and Umi soulofocean
Summary; Aya teaches Umi to use the katana he gave to her way back when he left.
Log; It was peaceful in Xanadu currently. The air was comfortable and calm. And, there was no curse to disturb the peace that surrounded Aya. Closing his eyes a moment, he took the chance to enjoy it. He would give this first lesson to Umi then go have dinner. He had plenty of time for that.

Umi was a fencer...used to handling a sword with just one hand. A katana was different and required a different balance that she wouldn't be used to. And, just like his master had, he wouldn't let her learn with the actual blade just yet. Which was why he had two practice swords in his hand. One for him and one for her.

Opening his eyes, he glanced over to see if she'd arrived yet.

"I think I can help with that." Granted, the walk down the seaside was bound to make Aya hungry, unbeknownst to Umi. But then again, if they were lucky, maybe Tatra would have readied one of her famous curry dishes for lunch. Umi hadn't been there all day. She was getting slightly hungry too. "Shall we get going?"

"Alright." Aya gave her a warmer smile than the one before. He hadn't realized he would feel this good about teaching someone to use the katana. More because he'd been worried about it. That someone else would follow the path that he'd taken. Fortunately, it looked like Umi would avoid that.

For that he was very grateful.

Nodding, Umi simply started for the exit of Xanadu, falling into step beside Aya. She didn't say more, but the glow of accomplishment she radiated spoke for itself.

She'd done good, and given it her best effort! And she was certainly on the way to improving. All worthwhile endeavors took effort and time, and this one certainly was worth a lot to her. It was important to prove to Aya he wasn't wasting his time, that she was a student worth teaching.

Smiling, she nodded to herself. She'd spend an hour or so everyday practicing what she learned with every lesson.
