[i]From the right, then the left . . . follow it up with a feint . . . then go in for the kill . . . NOW![/i]

Tatsuya, after blocking the blade of an imaginary foe, went in for a finishing blow against the straw dummy in front of him, striking a line from it's side all the way to its shoulder in one fell swoop. He'd then take a short hop away, slicing his sword at either side of himself as if he were flicking the blood of it before placing it back in it's imaginary sheath. Taking a stance again, his grip would tighten as he prepared to throw himself at the target.

[i]Breathe in. . . hold it . . . ready yourself and then, when you see an opening . . .STR-[/i]

[h1][color=Deeppink]"Hey! Tatsuya-san!"[/color][/h1]

[i]Huh?[/i]

"Huh, Sawa-aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!"

The pinkette's greeting certainly grabbed Tatsuya's attention, unfortunately, it was while he was in mid-stride, and as a result of the distraction, Tatsuya tripped over his own foot and took something akin to a flying roll towards the dummy smacking against it with a rather solid sound. Looking up, Tatsuya discovered, after the world had stopped spinning, that he ended up in a rather uncomfortable position of having himself leaning against the wooden figure upside down, with his legs hanging on either side of him.

"Ow-wowwowwowowwwowwo!" Tatsuya moaned as he set to righting himself, getting up a bit slowly as he checked himself over for anything worse than a developing bruise or a scrape. When he found nothing of the sort, he'd look up at his visitor, giving a somewhat sheepish grin as he walked over, picking up his training sword as he did so. "Hey Sawaru-san, sorry you had to see me fumble like that, though I'm sure it must've looked rather humorous from your end."

He spoke with a chuckle as he stretched himself out, setting his bokken on his shoulder as he continued to speak, curious as to why Gomi's resident pinkette had come to see him, though he had a faint inkling why.

"So, has Kai finally set a date for this 'Grand Escape' of ours or what? I'm getting antsy just waiting around with nothing to do put fantasize and daydream about what we're going to see out there. It's just so exciting!" As the tall red-head spoke, his face would break out into a simile as he began to hop in lace a little bit, hardly able to contain himself as he thought excitedly about what they were going to do.
