Something to believe in
for Akito

They'd come a long way since the first time they picked up such a weapon, but they knew they still had a lot of work to do yet. Progress was not linear, nor was there a limit to what they could possibly learn. Seiko fully believed this. They were rewarded with a bit of pressure, vibrating back through the staff as it collided lightly with the dummy. Score. If they swung too soon, they risked falling, thrown off balance with the awkward weight of their weapon- if they swung too hard, the motion would reverberate back through the stick and into their jaw. They remembered how sore it felt after training with the staff last time, and they were intensely focused on perfecting the movements, accounting for their shortcomings as they swung. They barely noticed Akito as he approached, nearly startling slightly when he spoke. Though Seiko tended toward being constantly on edge, it was easy to let down their guard as they focused on their training and their work, especially when they were somewhere so safe. The bamboo forest was no place for outsiders. Here, they were all safe. Seiko paused, giving a slow nod of greeting to the older wolf. Gingerly they paused, lowering the staff to the ground before speaking. "I think so, yes. I'd appreciate that," they agreed with a nod. Their gaze fell from Akito to the staff at their paws, considering, before lifting back to him. "I've been trying to practice using it while moving, instead of just standing still." |
Note: Seiko is biologically female, but they identify as nonbinary (they/them pronouns).
Their companion - a female tabby cat with antlers, named Herajika - is often hanging around.
