❖ 020 // [Action | Voice]

[As it's a lovely, sunny afternoon Raven has finally decided to start growing the seeds he received from Flonne last week. He's been out in the garden behind house 12 for the past two hours digging up the dirt, placing the seeds, watering the ground and generally making sure he's planting them in an area where they aren't going to be destroyed when Repede decides to do his doggy business. As he finishes the last of the seeds his attention is caught when he spots a woman disappearing around the side of the building.]

Casey...?

[He quickly darts onto his feet without hesitation. But as he begins his pursuit he accidently kicks over the full watering can onto his journal. Turning around to inspect what he'd just collided with he notices the soaking wet book lying open on the ground and begins to panic. He picks it up and starts desperately shaking it dry.]

Aaaaaah! Oh geez, is it broken?! I was havin' such a nice day gardenin' too, I didn't mean ta wreck the book! It'll dry out right?

[He continues shaking the pages for a few minutes before finally giving up and sitting on the dry part of the grass, unsure of whether he did actually see her pass by or if he was just going crazy. It couldn't just be a co-incidence that he sees her on the day he's planting her favourite flower could it? He doesn't know what to think about all of this, so he just hopes nobody heard him shout her name through the journal.]

[He totally had a point :( You = doing your best and paying attention, Him = blind rage and not doing his best. Jeez. But oh well, the old man's got a point too.]

True. Can't really argue with that.

[... but he's still smirking.]
trueknight: (Feeling proud)

[Action] I'M NOT SURE IF I BELIEVE THAT.

[personal profile] trueknight 2010-06-11 08:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[Just as planned. Welp, that's too bad, Raven. That smirk's not going anywhere. Also, Yuri had no idea either way, so fff.]

Go ahead and think that, if it makes you feel better.

[Go on, old man. You wanted a fight, riiiiiiiiight? He's wa~it~ing~ ...]
trueknight: (Smirking)

[Action] /hurrhurr

[Excellent. No way was he going to be played twice into fighting someone.

He'll just be dodging to the right, getting his sword out and ready. He's not doing anything just yet though. Just. Smirking
.]
trueknight: (/eyeroll)

[Action] Close enough.

[Yuri's still hanging back. But alright, let's drop a little hint.]

Nice of you to pick a fight next to Casey's flowers. I'm sure she appreciates it.
trueknight: (/kinda amused)

[Eh, so much for sentiment. Or maybe he just pissed him off that much. Hm. Welp.

Regardless, right around the time Raven says "my flowers", he gets himself ready to dodge whatever's coming. ... Except he's never seen this spell before. Um.

Yeah, he's dodging off to the side as soon as possible, but that doesn't get him away unharmed -- he still got nicked along his side and one of his legs while trying to get away. But he doesn't seem to care in the least. Still smirking away
.]


All right. However they end up isn't my problem anyway!

[Seriously Raven. Yuri's artes. Do you really want him slinging around things like Destruction Field next to or on top of those seeds you just planted? But regardless of that, he's charging in your direction, Raven. And if you don't do something to try stopping him, you're getting hit with Ghost Wolf as soon as he's in range. And all things considered, he isn't too far away to begin with.]
trueknight: (Ready)

[personal profile] trueknight 2010-06-11 10:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Go ahead and try!

[I meant with them moving around during battle, silly |: He's going to try to be careful about trouncing that area, but those little hints were supposed to be to avoid that happening altogether -- that and the whole sentiment thing. He might just mess up a spot near them just to prove a point, but that's only if that situation presents itself. And if he cares enough to do it. Which he probably won't.

Regardless, Yuri's watching Raven's movements very carefully; unlike his fight with Alexei, he doesn't have his anger screwing him over and making him miss things. He sees what you did there, old man, and he's not about to run into something like that. Therefore, he'll be getting as close as he can to that area before stopping and sending out an Azure Storm. He doesn't care much about it hitting -- he just doesn't want to get too close to an area that could put him at a disadvantage. Not so soon, at least

[Yeah well I'm not as silly as you so there. HAH.

Anyway, Yuri sees those arrows coming for him, so his first reaction is to dodge. ... Except he remembers how these things work, so he's just going to keep moving instead. Like in your direction, Raven. If he's going to get hit by that arte the second he stops or slows down, he might as well attempt to get at you first -- which means as soon as he's within range, you're getting a Lone Wolf Storm sent your way
.]
trueknight: (That the best you've got?)

[Yeah, he's realizing how close he is, so he moves away to gain some distance. Hitting that trap means potentially getting thrown in the river, and wet clothes are tough to fight in. He can't afford that disadvantage. He also is starting to get hit by those homing arrows -- twice after using Lone Wolf Storm, which delays him, once while changing direction to get away from the trap, and after he went to look and see what kind of arte Raven just used because he has never seen that before, he gets hit by the last one while trying to get out of the way of that arrow at the end.

Yeah. This doesn't feel too nice. But he still doesn't look like he cares much, and is still smirking. He honestly looks like he's having fun, even with the amount of damage he's taking.

So, once again, he charges in Raven's direction, probably looking as if he's got another arte waiting to be used once he's in range. Whatcha gonna do, Raven?

[Oh no, he's not forgetting that for a minute. He wasn't expecting Raven to charge back, so he immediately halts his charge and defends, figuring he'd be using one of his strike ar-- ... yep, there it is. At least it's one he recognizes this time, jeez. Part of the hit did still get through his defenses, but again -- not caring. He simply returns the favor with some horizontal sword swings, rather than an arte.]
trueknight: (Hello unexpected assault!)

[WOAH THERE, jumping back. That missed a little too narrowly there. However, Yuri quickly recovers, trying to close the gap again with Dragon Swarm.]
trueknight: (Not even worth my time)

[Sweet. Seeing him run off, Yuri follows for a bit before remembering Raven's face-down trap card. He'll just stop midway and send an Azure Edge out at your back. Hope you're paying attention, old man.]

[Yeaaaah, seeing that, Yuri's going back charging in Raven's direction, getting himself ready to start swinging once he gets close enough (if Raven even lets him get that far). He'll just have to be mindful of where that trap is.]
trueknight: (Someone's there.)

[personal profile] trueknight 2010-06-12 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
[... Why is he standing still. Something's not right. The trap might be in this area too, and if he's standing there, it might be right in front of him ... ... ... Wait, what if he's just faking him out by pretending it's right in front of him?

... Dammit, no time to think about all this. IF HE'S GOING DOWN, HE'S TAKING YOU WITH HIM---

Destruction Field
