Today had been like any other. Hisashi would be making her usual rounds around the eastern islands ensuring her home was safe and untouched by 'evil hands'. Things got a little weird when she entered a clearing and noticed a pole going up into the clouds. She stared up into the sky, trying to see if she could see the top of the pole. The wolf girl would narrow her eyes, and one of her canine ears would twitch. Hisashi wouldn't be able to see passed a thick layer of clouds. 'How high up could this thing possibly go? Is there even anything at the top, or is it just a random pole?' Hisashi would think to herself with her head tilted to the side, immediately figuring out there would only be one way to find out.
"Oh well.. I have nothing better to do, anyway. I'm not a kid anymore so father should have nothing to worry about." Hisashi shrugged, tightening the straps wrapping around her shoulders to ensure her swords stayed on her back the entire climb up. Honestly, she wasn't a hundred percent sure if she could climb it or not. She couldn't even begin to imagine how tall the pole was- it could just be the top that was concealed, it could just be the other half. But the pole could also be like.. a hundred times longer than it appeared. It couldn't possibly go all the way up into space though, could it? 'That would be ridiculous who could possibly have a use for a pole that long?' The wolf girl would think to herself, furrowing her brow. A pole that long would just be unethical.
Hisashi would walk up to the base of the massive pole and reach up to find plenty of little gaps and ledges for her to grab onto. Most of them could even act as footholds. Now that she was sure she wouldn't be in for a more difficult climb than she first anticipated, Hisashi would start to climb. It wouldn't be until after the first six feet that she would realize that she really didn't like heights. "Maybe.. just maybe, I should go back down." Hisashi would mutter as she reached around the twenty foot mark. She'd keep going, though. She wasn't going to let her fear get the best of her.
The climb would stay simple for the first few minutes, and within thirty she had scaled about a fourth of what she could see from below the thick layer of clouds still far above her head. After about thirty minutes of climbing, she was a little more than halfway up. Only because she'd take frequent stops to hug the pole, pressing the side of her face against it and regretting every decision she'd made in life up until this point. She hated heights, thus why she had never invested in learning to fly. Now though, she was regretting it. At least flight would make this process so much quicker.
About an hour in to climbing the long pole, she had gone through the aforementioned thick layer of clouds and come out of it soaking wet. Being soaked didn't help her at all. Going so high up, she was only going to get colder and colder with all this water on her. 'This is why I hate science.' She would think to herself, her face scrunching up in disgust. There was hope for her yet, she could at least see a sort of top to this weird concrete cylinder and it wasn't very far away at all. Any regular person would be able to see it from the point she was at.
Hisashi had to force herself to climb the rest of the way up, even though her arms didn't want to cooperate and she was feeling really cold because of how high up she was and how windy it was getting. As nice as it all felt, it only made the climb slower than it really needed to be considering she was already taking breaks to keep herself from panicking. Once she reached the platform, she scrambled up the sighed and pulled herself up over the side. The elemi would glance around the platform. It was clean and well kept, as if somebody was really living at what she assumed was the top of this thing. 'At least it would explain the need for such a long pole.. Maybe someone wants to be left alone?' She would think to herself as she shook herself off like a really wet dog. After trying to fix her hair with her hands to no avail, she would wander aimlessly around, peeking in through a few of the doorways.
"Anybody home?" Hisashi would call out, cupping her hands around her mouth causing just a little bit of an echo which had somehow managed to amuse her enough that she would bring a hand to her mouth and hold back a bit of laughter.
(To clarify- if I didn't do a good enough job at it, this is what would be Korin's part of the tower. Not the very top of the lookout.)
[Thread PL: 310,505 base. Suppressed to 5. Utilizing Mansion Bonus due to Lookout!]
Meanwhile, at the Timeless Lookout, the Albino Saiyan could sense a very faint power directly below. Someone must have been exploring the Sacred Land of Korin. It piqued the Knight's curiosity, so she began to make use of her Far-Seeing Arts to investigate it further. Lo and behold, she found such an odd sight. A girl that looked to be a Zoanthrope! She seemed to be fit for wilderness exploration, and that brought several memories back to Atsuko. It wasn't so long ago that she tended to do the exact same thing. The Knight continued to watch the girl's approach.
How odd... Most would have chosen to just fly up, but instead Hisashi chose to climb up. Though it seemed like the wolf girl held some regrets over the decision, given how she was acting the further up she went. But despite that, she didn't give up... The Albino Saiyan couldn't help but smile at that. What determination this one had! Finally, Hisashi made it up to Korin's Tower, and proceeded to investigate if anyone was there. Which of course, there wasn't. The Tower was sadly vacant for several years now, though the Albino Saiyan did have an idea of who could take over...
In any case, it was time to stop being so secretive. The Knight would establish a mental link with the wolf girl and begin speaking to her via Telepathy. "There's no one within the Tower, it has been vacant for so very long; but you should continue your ascent. There you'll find the Timeless Lookout. It seems that we have much to discuss.", Hisashi would suddenly hear those words inside of her mind. Atsuko's 'tone of voice' was soft, trying to make it sound more welcoming and friendly. After that, the Knight would disperse her Far-Seeing Arts.
Though she kept the Telepathic Link established with the Wolf Girl, Atsuko calmly walks outside of the Palace. She moves her arms behind her back and simply waits. It had been awhile since someone new visited the Lookout like this. The Knight pondered over the implications, could she be a new student? It was possible. Hisashi wasn't very powerful, but if the training she had performed with four of her students had told her anything... It's that great power could come from unexpected places. If she received the right guidance, it was very possible for the wolf girl to become another Defender of Earth.
But all things in due time, they still needed to be properly introduced, after all! Climbing up Korin's Tower, and then reaching the Timeless Lookout was a bit of a trial in that regard. It revealed quite a lot about Hisashi's character, but not everything. The Knight was also curious of just exactly what it was that brought her to this place, out of all locations on Earth. Was she another that was seeking out Kami? Well, she wasn't very far off if that was the case... Patience would soon reward her with answers. The wolf girl didn't have much farther to climb now.
The Water Elemi was calmly walking the tiles of the lookout much as she had done on slow days, her training had recently finished, so for now she had little in the way of activities to partake in, still, as she roamed about with her Water Spirit companion floating by her side, she had a cheery smile and a confident stride in her step. The two conversed calmly, though Ayami seemed focused on other matters. "Ayami, you seem...Distracted. Is something the matter?" Ayami responds with a shake of her head, she had a quick response.
"No, but I think we have company. I feel a power getting closer. It's faint...maybe because Earth is so far below, but...it's getting stronger over time, like it's coming closer. It doesn't feel like a threat, so I think it's just a very curious person. Though...It feels...Elemental? I can't really explain it, but my energy has always felt like the ocean, so I recognize the feeling of an energy carrying an element to it. But...I don't know for sure, I think I'll have to wait until it's here to get an accurate feel for it."
She headed over towards the edge overlooking the tower, that curious place...She still needed to visit it with the Android girl in tow, but for now it seemed like someone had reached the top of it, she watched on, silently cheering for them to make the rest of the climb okay. "C'mon, you can do it~!" She called out to the unknown climber, she knew her voice wouldn't reach them, but it didn't matter, she was excited to meet whoever this was, and she was likely the first face they would see once they finally got up to the lookout.
And what a face it was, those beautiful deep blue eyes would be looking back with pure excitement, her hands held close to her chest and her sword visibly sheathed on her back. She waited with baited breath to see the new visitor, she didn't recognize the signature after all, so who they were was a complete mystery to her, hopefully soon to be solved as she desired to meet them. Still, Wata seemed to want to speak to the Water Elemi, his words cutting in through her excitement. "Excuse me for a moment Ayami. may I speak?"
Ayami looked to the water spirit, giving a small nod and giving him her full attention. "Right, with your training with the kami mostly resolved, I feel it time we cover the lessons I taught you, they could need improving. After all, you seem best suited to learn them with how you finally passed such amazing feats. I will give you time to decide if we should or not...However, my skills may assist you if battles are to come in the future. Please consider accepting my terms as soon as possible. The things I taught you still require more training."
Ayami would give another nod. "I want to meet whoever this is first, then we can go learn."

Hisashi was quite confused when she heard a voice speak to her, but didn't find a source to it. 'Are there ghosts or did the climb drive me crazy?' The wolf girl thought, scratching her head and returning to the edge of the tower and gazing outwards. The view up there was amazing, but to her it was terrifying. She hadn't realized how far she had gone up in such a short time. In a way, she felt.. more alive, while way up in the tower. When the soft voice in her head mentioned that there was more to her climb, she felt like just forgetting about this whole thing and going home.. But where would be the fun in that? She wasn't about to be some coward, and besides that she was far too curious to just give up. The whole idea of people living that far up, ghosts or not, was too interesting for her not to investigate, someone supposedly wanting to discuss something with her only added on and pushed her upwards.
If she were in for an even longer climb, she was going to do something first. The wolf girl would sit down with her legs crossed, placing a hand on either leg and closing her eyes. Thinking back on it now, she should've done this earlier. But the air didn't feel as great near the bottom of the tower as it did all the way up there. This wasn't any time to be having regrets though- even if there were a lot. The elemi would clear her head and 'feel' the empty sky around here, all the air moving through it and the gusts of wind that would brush against her occasionally.
Hisashi would take a slow, deep breath through her mouth. Her breathing felt clearer, and her body would feel lighter as well. She could get used to being up here.. Provided she never looked over the edge. Her clear thoughts would be disturbed as she heard a sound reminiscent of running water. Her eyes would shoot open and she'd be startled right of her meditative state- though it did not cancel its effects. It was only then that she realized there were huge powers above her. 'There really are people up there.. and they're stronger than anything I've ever felt before.' The wolf girl thought to herself as she stood up and proceeded to climb up onto the roof of Korin's tower.
Some people could've been scared off by such immense energies, but they only served to motivate Hisashi. If such strong people wanted something to do with her, it had to be important. The wolf girl would flex her fingers while her finger nails would become sharp at the points, seeming more like claws than actual nails. She'd use them to speed up her climb, if her being attuned to the wind didn't serve that purpose already. The wolf girl would literally claw her way the rest of the way up the tower at record-breaking speeds.
Hisashi felt the worst part of the climb would be scrambling up the side of the massive platform above her. It was a lot larger and a little more curved than the last platform had been. Luckily, she found some poor excuse for a ladder of which she would grab onto the bottom bar and take a breather. She'd covered a great distance in a really short time, so she felt she was deserving of just a little break. "Its gonna be.. such a pain.. getting back down." She thought out loud between heavy breaths and bars of the ladder.
The Albino Saiyan then noticed that the Water Elemi was present. It wasn't something that particularly surprised the Knight, this was Ayami's home, after all! It seemed like all the training that she received really did set her onto the right path, Atsuko was glad for that. But more than that... The power that her student held now was unreal. It was enough to rival even what the Saiyan was capable of in her base form! In fact, even quite a bit stronger than that... The major difference between them being their transformations, however. Ayami had yet to find a higher power.
Aside from what Atsuko had dubbed to be 'Enrage', that is. Which still increased the Elemi's power by an impressive amount. As she finishes musing on that front, she hears the wolf girl's thoughts, prompting a smirk from the Knight. "No, you haven't gone crazy. I'm speaking to you through Telepathy.', she would reassure Hisashi on the fact that she wasn't going crazy... Although, a voice inside someone's head could only do so much to help with that, really. "Yes, there are people up here. The one you're sensing is my student, in fact.", she would chime in once more.
Curious... Was the wolf girl unable to fly? That probably made this climb much more frightening to her; the Albino Saiyan made a mental note to herself to watch for if Hisashi started falling. It would be a tough race, but if she became a Super Saiyan... Well, catching her wasn't entirely out of the question. Still, that was just reserved for 'if it was necessary'. The wolf girl was very determined to climb up the rest of the way, which would more or less prove her worth to the Knight. That meant she could receive training, and perhaps the Sacred Holy Water...
Still, one step at a time. She was close, but not quite to the top yet. In fact, she seems to have paused in one spot. Probably trying to regather her strength in some form. The golden sword at Atsuko's side begins to glow, releasing a small beam of energy, which then begins to form into a 'Human'. The Sacred Sword's curiosity was being piqued by this point! "Well now... Not too often we get visitors here. At least, ones we don't invite.", the woman in red stated. Atsuko gave a small smile nad nodded in response.
"Even fewer still decide to make the climb up proper. I'm quite eager to speak with her.", the Saiyan comments. "As am I!", Excalibur eagerly replies. The Knight then decides to speak to their guest once more... "Once you've climbed up all the way, I'll be able to help you back down when you're ready to leave. So don't worry about having to climb back down, or being stuck up here.", the Saiyan would send her telepathic message to Hisashi. With that out of the way... Was there anything else to do but merely wait? Neither Atsuko or Excalibur could think of anything.
There Ayami waited right on the edge in front of that rickety ladder, she decided to take a seat on the floor, her legs crossed as she just calmly watched for the visitor. After all, it did no good to be impatient, they'd show up in due time, and Ayami was as ready as ever to greet them. Still, as Hisashi grew ever closer, the energy Ayami felt was stronger and stronger, more clear on just what she was picking up. It felt...Free, as if a gust of wind had pulled a leaf across a valley, was the only scene she could match that feeling with, but there was also another signature...Two people? No, it couldn't have been, Ayami only felt one person.
Then she thought back to the people she had met...Shizen was an Elemi, Ayami caught that due to her power, and partly due to her signature, but she felt it was half of the elements, she could only assume perhaps this was a hybrid, though...She'd still need confirmation from the visitor themselves, no use jumping to conclusions and being wrong, after all. Still, she was excited, if it really was another Elemi, this would make it even better! She loved to meet other Elemi, there weren't a whole lot of them on earth, but they were all so kind to Ayami, she felt it would likely be no different now.
She waited for what felt like a decent amount of time, but it wasn't exactly a painfully long amount, she perked up as she saw a pair of white wolf ears poke up from behind the edge of the lookout. She smiled in excitement, her eyes becoming like bright stars as she saw the wolf girl frantically climb up onto the top wrung of the ladder, she leaned forward, looking Hisashi right in the eyes. She inhaled for a moment, and... "Hellooo! Are you an Elemi? My name is Ayami Atlantii!"
She stood up, offering a hand to Hisashi if she needed it. If it was accepted, she'd have carefully pulled Hisashi the rest of the way up and onto safe ground. "Did you really climb all of that?" She asked, looking amazed as she peered over the edge, seeing just how far down it was, even just to the top of the tower it really wasn't that close. "You're incredible! Are you...Suppressing your energy?" She was legitimately curious, it only felt like around about 2k or so, but...She managed to climb that far in only what had to be no more than a few hours, it was incredible to say the least.
"You have cute ears, too!" Ayami giggled, looking over the wolf girl's ears, they were quite interesting indeed, she reached out to pet one of those ears, hoping for it to be accepted, though understanding and respectfully stopping if Hisashi objected against it. "What brings you up here? Did you come to meet the Kami? A lot of people do, but...They usually fly."

At the top of the ladder, one of Hisashi's ears would twitch as she felt someone's presence very near to hers. She had looked up just in time to see a very unique set of eyes before the owner of said eyes would startle her by giving her quite the greeting. Fortunately, she was mentally prepared in the case that something like this would happen near the top of the climb and grabbed the top of the ladder and tightened her grip on it. The wolf girl would let out a relieved sigh once she knew she wasn't going to fall and looked back up at Ayami to see her hand extended out towards Hisashi. The air elemi would reach up and take the hand that was offered- only after.. 'dematerializing' her claws, one could say. She didn't want to accidentally claw or scare anyone with them, and she hated how they looked when they were there and not being useful. When they were in actual play, her fingers looked longer and more boney. She much preferred her hands to be at least somewhat feminine. Now that she was on something she could actually stand on, she had to find her center of balance again. It had been a good long while since she had been able to stand up straight, the last time had been a Korin's tower but that had only been for a brief moment.
Hisashi would step a little ways away from the lookout's edge before she would answer any questions. She didn't want to be too close, as her bravery could only force her so far forward before she would panic in the face of one of her many fears- one of them obviously being heights. "Elemi? Well.. I guess, kinda. My mom was at least.. My name is Hisashi Ikuto, by the way!" The wolf girl would respond after she had her head on completely straight. Now that her brain was catching up with itself she was excited to see that there were actual living people up here, not ghosts, and not nothingness. Both would've just gone to show she had gone crazy on the way up, but thankfully she wasn't!
When she started climbing, she didn't think that anyone would be around to acknowledge it as if it were some sort of great feat. Hell, she didn't really think anything of it until Ayami was pointing it out, at which point she'd feel a little proud of herself. It had taken a lot of her willpower to overcome her fear and force herself to climb, and now it was paying off! The wolf girl would smile and nod in response to Ayami's question. "Yeah! And it was.. kinda fun! But mostly terrifying, it's all done now though and I hopefully won't have to do it again." When asked if she had been suppressing her energy she tilted her head to the side like a curious dog, one of her canine ears twitching at the same time. "No? At least.. I don't think so? What's my energy?" Hisashi would look herself over, trying to see if there were some physical indication of what her energy was. She would never find it, of course. But now she was curious as to how Ayami was able to find it.
Her ears were something of a.. sensitive subject, to say the least. So when Ayami pet one of her ears her eyes would widen just a little bit out of surprise. It wasn't an unpleasant feeling, just an unexpectedly good one as it has always been when someone happened to pet her ears. "I.. uh, I don't really know.." Hisashi muttered, distracted by how great it felt to have her ears pet. It was like having someone else scratch your back when you really needed that itch, but then some.
The Water Elemi was of course incredibly excited to meet the new person, and rushed right over to surprise the poor girl just as she nearly finished climbing up. Still, it seems like the wolf girl took it well enough and didn't manage to fall off. The Knight begins to calmly walk over as Hisashi is helped up onto the platform. The Saiyan smirked a little at the topic of discussion, mostly being the fact that the wolf girl was able to climb so far in such a small amount of time. "Would you believe she's not the first?", the Knight chimed in.
"I climbed up as well, as did Bernael... Everyone aligned with us did for the very first trip, actually.", the Saiyan would then turn her attention to Hisashi. "And now you've made the climb as well. I congratulate you on that, it's no easy task.", the Albino Saiyan would state. True to her word, there was a lot for them to discuss. But the Knight would begin by properly introducing herself. "I am Kami Atsuko Inoue... The current Guardian of Earth. However, you won't need to refer to me in such a formal fashion.", she explained with a polite bow.
She soon stands up straight, and was about to make a gesture to Ayami in order to introduce her as well, but the Water Elemi had beaten her to the punch on that. The Saiyan lightly smiles. "She is my student as well. Or she was, in any case. She's finished her training now.", the Knight calmly explains. She then motions for the woman in red; practically looking like Atsuko's twin sister, to walk over. Excalibur wears a confident smile as she makes her way over. "I am Excalibur! And you... Are very impressive to make such a climb!"
The Sacred Sword comments. The Wolf Girl then mentions her name. "Hisashi Ikuto? Well, it's nice to meet you! Welcome to the Timeless Lookout. This location is used by a select few of Earth's greatest Warriors in order to keep the entire planet safe from any threat. All of us are ready to act at a moment's notice.", the Knight begins to explain. The woman in red joining in soon after. "We formed the Knights of the Round! I created a Martial Arts just for them to use, too. Which brings us to an invitation we would be willing to extend!"
Atsuko gives a small nod. "Hisashi, I would be able to train you, if you would be interested in that. I would also be able to offer other things which may interest you, such as the Sacred Holy Water.", the Saiyan elaborates for Hisashi. "You're not under any obligation to accept any of this, of course! But not just anyone can make the climb up here, it speaks a lot about their character. So I think you're a perfect fit to become a Knight!", the Sacred Sword adds in her own thoughts on the subject once more.
Atsuko then smiles. "Besides, it seems like you get along with Ayami. Though even if you refuse the offer for training, I do at least insist that you take a moment to rest. It would be quite unfair for you to have climbed all that way and immediately leave, after all.", the Saiyan states. With that, the pair fall silent as they allow Ayami and Hisashi the chance to speak. If the wolf girl accepted, that meant the Knights would be growing even more! Earth would be well defended if they could constantly expand their ranks like this. That was something the Saiyan did look forward to.
Even if she felt more compelled to keep all of her students safe, because she cared so deeply for them, and didn't want anything bad to happen to them... It was an interesting paradox for her to struggle with, to say the least. That was partly why the Knight was always so harsh on herself in her training regime. Especially ever since her body had started growing used to the constant strain; which meant that she was receiving less results from her efforts. That was the last thing that Atsuko wanted to happen.
She hadn't even mastered the full power of Super Saiyan Two yet...
Ayami smiled happily as she pet the ears! "It's wonderful to meet you, Hisashi!" She was rather excited...Perhaps overly so, but this was just the normal for her, of course, as Atsuko came up, the Water Elemi took notice. Looking over and becoming excited at the fact that so many climbed up. She chimed in as well. "...I want to make the climb now, too! I can do it, just watch me!" Her eyes became filled with determination as her smile didn't fade, she ran towards the edge and was about to hop off as the water spirit interrupted. "W-Wait! Ayami, don't you think now is a bad time?!"
Wata couldn't believe she was about to just so casually jump off so far above the ground, she looked back at him, tilting her head as she took on a curious expression. "What's wrong with it? I gotta earn my place in the Knights of the Round!" "Well, for starters, LOOK at how far down that is! And another thing, you have company, especially of your master, you should have the courtesy to wait a moment!" The Water Elemi responds by giggling, and speaking up. "I seem to recall you were the one who wanted to hurry off to teach me skills. But now you want to stay?"
"Tha...That's completely different! That was before I was aware you had company!" Ayami gave the water wisp a grin as she spoke up again. "Really~? I would have thought you could sense Hisashi just as quickly~" If the water spirit were more than an ethereal blue orb, he would have likely been glaring at her right now. Even as she continued to giggle and have fun teasing the wise spirit, but eventually, the other two had conversation she felt the need to join in on. No sense ignoring them, after all!
Hisashi DID ask what her energy was...But Ayami shrugged. "I can't really give an exact number. I just...See and feel the energies of others, sorry." But she gave a smile regardless, even if she couldn't provide the best answer. And then Atsuko proudly stated that Ayami was her student, to which Ayami gladly replied. "Well, it doesn't seem like that long ago I started my training! I was so weak back then...My energy was kinda...A lot like yours, actually. But I got better!" Ayami gave a nod when the training was offered to Hisashi, speaking up to vouch for it even further. "You could become very strong too. I can help Miss Atsuko train you, Hisashi!"
Ayami gasped when she said that, realizing quite a bit what she could do, she turned to Atsuko and gave a few small hops. "Can I help train her? Huh, huuhhh?! I can help!" She grinned brightly, just hoping she could help out in some way, she did have a handle on the art's ability, and with her power almost rivaling even Atsuko's, it didn't seem as though she would be unable to handle taking a few blows for the early lessons. She hoped Atsuko's answer would be yes, and that Hisashi's would be no different as well.

Hisashi was both a little thankful and a little dissapointed when Ayami quit scratching her ears. Of course she couldn't think clearly when they were being scratched making her putty in the hands of whoever would scratch that constant itch for her, but it felt so damn good. At least now she could remember why she had made the climb, and Atsuko was there just in time for her to make it a little clearer. She would've opened her mouth to speak but was distracted as Ayami ran by her and towards the edge of the look out seemingly determined to jump all the way just to climb all the way back up. Hisashi couldn't ever see herself doing such a thing.. as the fall would probably shatter most of the bones in her body, so she couldn't help but wonder how Ayami planned to do it without getting the same result as she would.
The wolf girl would turn her attention over to Atsuko. She would look the Saiyan up and down, seemingly taking an interest in her armor. It must've been really hard to move around in- but at least it looked nice! 'A guardian of Earth? Sheesh, here I thought I was the only one trying to protect it.. Guess that would explain why there hasn't been any need for me to fight some super strong villain.' The elemi would think to herself as she returned the polite bow by performing the same kind gesture. One of Hisashi's ears would twitch as the wolf girl took note of how closely similar Excalibur looked to Atsuko. It was far too easy to know how Hisashi was feeling once one was able to tell what the twitching meant. Her tail expressed emotions, too. If someone were to notice it, it would simply be slowly waving back and forth. Hisashi was calm but also a little bit excited, and her tail expressed that quite well.
"Earth's greatest warriors? Really? If I had known a group like that was up here I would've climbed up a long time ago!" Hisashi would raise her clenched fists up to level with her chest, her tail picking up the pace to a point where the slow waving became excited wagging. The whole 'Knights of the Round' thing sounded like something out of a fairy tale, but that only made Hisashi want to join even more than she did already. 'An invitation?' The wolf girl would only hope what Excalibur meant by that. Hisashi looked just about ready to start jumping up and down as the two would offer her a spot in the Knights. "Yes!" The wolf girl yelled while at the same time jumping up and throwing her arms in the air.
She landed on her feet looking quite content until she realized how loud she had been and how silly her reaction might've looked. Hisashi's tail would curl up and her ears would rest flat on her head as she brought her hands up to her face which had become red from embarassment. When Ayami would offer to train her as well, she would just nod and give a muffled 'mhm'.

Emi smiling but clearly a little more tired then she usually was. Her body movement and language now even becoming more fluid and natural then it had once been. Her AI mind for how fast it was able to learn likely highly valuable if anyone wished to copy such quickly learning technology. she was clothed today in something a little different. During the last excursion her clothing was in need of a little cleaning so while it waited she found something hidden among other cloths upon the lookout. She wasn't quite sure who it belonged too but given it was a little over sized on her she imagined it was some sort of dress. Putting on the big soft comfortable thing after slipping on her other garments she made her way to the people standing around and an adorable girl with animalistic features.
She'd walk close to Ayami who seemed simply ecstatic over the whole ordeal as well as she often was overly excited in most occasions. Emi chuckling holding a hand over her mouth as she laughed. Waving and moving close to take the girls hand when she'd finally stop hopping about in place. Resting her head against her side and shoulder as well when opening was presenting and then waving at the new girl small and adorable as she was that made her presence known while also lending a gentle smile towards Atsuko. She practically glowed for some reason or another as she held on warmly to hand and rested head to shoulder. "Hello. Is this a new friend? An what cute little wisps. They remind me of spirit creatures I saw on my home before I left. What are these Ayami? An may I ask the tired looking cuties name..." She'd say innocently and softly to the little wolf girl.
She was so cute Emi couldn't help but move from Ayami's side and in moments her arms gently trying to wrap around the girl who covered her face in embarrassment after such adorable displays. If there was one thing besides Ayami Emi had come to love and learn to love about this planet. It was its people... Sweet and helpful. A kindness that wasn't pained. The people weren't held by any sorta of need to sneak and kill or destroy to keep their round table empire she thought of it as afloat. So many of her other comrades had to fight and work hard to keep the empire back home safe for the people. But here you didn't have to worry as often about rebels or deadly soldiers. A friendly face was more often then not just as it seemed. She'd hug the girl if she allowed in a soft warm way almost motherly perhaps. Smiling if she was allowed and chuckling probably trying to rub noses with her if she had in her embrace with the wolf girl. Trying to make the moment silly so embarrassment would fade quickly. "Oh my! Did you climb all the way up here? Is that why you are tired! I heard of such legends but my my! I have never seen one so brave and strong looking as you among the knights I've met yet! As well one with such a fine tail and ears! A true warrior you are! You are surely famished as well from such a climb correct? A knight should never go into battle or training without filling refreshed and fed should she? Oh my no of course not! Why don't we get you something to eat and drink and then my friends will likely be more then happy to accept a friend like you! A little knight to stand among giants!" Pinching the girls cheek but holding her softly almost like a mother to child.
IF the girl seemed to accept this showing of affection. Emi would stand and try to take her hand. Feeding the Ego in her prior comments as a mother would do to child. Smiling at her warmly and it seemed full intent to make sure the young one was in fact fed and rested before she'd be put through such harsh training like she'd seen before with Ayami. A gentle hand trying to run through her fur and hair upon her head. Emi trying to enjoy all she could while she could on the lookout as things became confusing i coming days. Knowing that for now it was all alright as while she could experience things like this... and have Ayami close as she was before.
"Interesting, Maybe its time to take a look..." A spirit said in its own mind nearby in hiding. A body as well besides its own hidden safely at the base of this tower and the scabbard that bound Durendal. Keeping his body hidden and suppressed as was the floating small body of Durendal as Durendal moved forward at least. This was going to be it's time to shine the meeting time was not ready yet. As the small figure began climbing the tower. The golden clad King remaining hidden where he was. Durendal would make himself known soon enough his mind linked with Jarvis's to share such thoughts. Sending images of what his eyes saw as Jarvis sat in silent meditation at the base. The spirit would do as it pleased. Jarvis having a soft spot for it and the time he'd spent with it of late. Himself a little curious if it had anything to do with the fact the spirit could so easily go fishing around in his thoughts... and oddly enough his soul. But he didn't let such paranoia bother him as much as it once did. Caesar was the killer of empires, gods, and survivor of assassins. If he wished to favor the spirit as a ally and friend. That was his business. But he was not yet ready to personally meet these people... some of them not yet again. He still had to meet the one most important first. Then only then would he actually make himself known. If he had to he could escape before ayone would get close. Or even notice such a minor pl equal to that of rabbits and animals. Durendal tied to the scabbard as much as the now transformed body to appear as the body. He knew he could escape but he was... curious while in waiting.

Upon hearing that practically everyone made the climb up from the ground, the Water Elemi was eager to literally jump off and start climbing up as well... "Ayami! At least fly down, that's still a long drop even as powerful as we are...", the Saiyan would state. Though it seems that spirit companion of hers decided to talk her out of jumping right away. Phew, that was good... That brought her attention back to Hisashi, who seemed to be a little excited; ear twitches and tail wagging ever so slightly. It was... Well, the Albino Saiyan liked animals to begin with.
Especially dogs, so this more or less just made it so that the Knight could read the wolf girl like an open book... Still, after she mentioned what the Timeless Lookout was used for, Hisashi only seemed to grow more excited. Saying that she would have made the climb a long time ago if she knew that. The Saiyan lets out a small laugh in response. "Well, think of it as you being ready now! Many things happen when they do for a reason.", the Knight would calmly state. After the Wolf Girl received that invitation... Well, she definitely accepted it!
Practically jumping up and down with joy. Eventually Hisashi would calm down and try to disguise her reaction a little more, the Knight can't help but let out another small laugh. "Well, that's great to hear! We'll start your training properly soon enough.", the Saiyan states. About then, the Elemi began to ask if she could help with Hisashi's training. The Albino Saiyan thought it over for a moment. "Hmm... Well, I don't see any harm in it. The training will benefit all of us!", the Knight gives her answer, no doubt making the Water Elemi just as excited as Hisashi was earlier.
It wasn't much longer before Emi showed up and seemed to be just as overjoyed about the new arrival. The Android ended up changing quite a bit from her first arrival, it really was rather amazing to witness... Although, all of this attention may prove to be overwhelming to the Wolf Girl. Still, it didn't seem like she had a bad reaction to any of it thus far. "Haha... Well, it seems like you've won over everyone here, Hisashi. I guess that pretty much settles things; the Timeless Lookout can be your home from now on!"
The Knight states. "If you ever have need of a sanctuary, return here. The offer extends to anyone you care about. We may not be able to accommodate for an entire world, but... Close friends and family, that we can.", the Knight would add. Shortly thereafter, the woman in red would gently tap the Knight's shoulder. The Saiyan looks over to her. "What is it?", she asked. Excalibur then began to whisper into Atsuko's ear. "Can you feel that? Someone else climbing up the tower now.", the woman in red whispered. The Saiyan arched a brow slightly, but then closes her eyes.
She concentrates on the energy around her, and then her senses begin to reach out... Humans and wildlife did have energy signatures, but most often they weren't that high; both figuratively and literally. That small power climbing up to the Lookout was rather interesting. "Yes, I sense it. Why the secrecy?", the Saiyan would whisper back. "It's a long story, but... I've sensed that energy before. Be careful around them, Atsuko.", after delivering her message hopefully under a low profile, Atsuko gives a small nod in response. So there was more than just one new visitor the Timeless Lookout...
But this one, Excalibur recognized this one. The energy was foreign to the Albino Saiyan, but something about it's nature also felt very similar to the Sacred Sword. It was such a small amount of power that it was difficult to say either way, however. It seemed that the only course of action they could take for now was just to wait for them to arrive. "It seems we have another guest on their way. I'll greet them, feel free to get settled in, Hisashi. Ayami and Emi know the way around.", the Knight states in a calm tone of voice.
"I'll stay here and greet the newcomer with her.", the woman in red adds. With that, they calmly step away. They were standing in front of the ladder; although not too close to it. True to their word, they were going to stand right there and wait for the new person. Whoever it was, they weren't very strong. But they could have been suppressing their power. Given that Excalibur said that it felt familiar somehow and urged caution, well... They ended up looking a little more serious than they should have. But it wasn't like they were intending to chase off whoever this was.
Not unless they had to do so. Hopefully whoever it was would be very well deterred from trying to start trouble here, however.
WC: 830 Total WC: 2,556 _______________ Used ST-3 Galaxy Sense to pick out the approaching Durendal's PL of 200.
Ayami was simply ecstatic, to hear Hisashi accept the training, and with enthusiasm that matched the Water Elemi's own no less! And even better, now Atsuko had agreed to let her help with training this girl! "Great! You can have my old training weights! They don't do anything for me now, so I think they'd really benefit you more, Hisashi!" Ayami smiled brightly, looking over the two, she was very excited for it all. "I will do my best to assist with training! I hope you become very strong, Hisashi!" Ayami gave Hisashi another short pet before stepping away for a moment, giving her a little space as Atsuko spoke to her.
Though, her attention was drawn away regardless as she saw Emi walk out of the Palace heading towards her, Ayami's face had a light shade of red now as she watched the Android girl walk up to them, she continued to smile as Emi took her hand, gladly letting Emi rest her head on the Water Elemi's shoulder. "Hey there sleepy head~..." Ayami giggled and gave Emi a short kiss, her heart was fluttering as she did so. The two had built a relationship and it made the Water Elemi feel so happy, so light inside. It was a special bond the two shared.
"You look great in that! I wonder where you found it." Ayami thought it over for a moment, it was rather curious that Emi found that sweater, but she had never seen it herself, so whoever it belonged to was a mystery, but she eventually just giggled. "Well, whoever it belongs to, maybe they'd be willing to lend it to you more often." Still, Emi asked a couple of questions, and Ayami realized, she hadn't met the Water Elemi's spirit companion! "Oh, mhm, this girl has agreed to train with us! And this little spirit is a water elemental that I rescued a while back, he's been helping me master a few abilities with my power!"
Ayami smiled as Emi went towards Hisashi, letting her go as she wished, after all, it seemed like Emi really liked this new girl, just as all four seemed to! Still, the Water Elemi nodded at Atsuko's comment. "Emi and I would be more than happy to show you around." Still...Ayami could tell something was wrong, she approached Atsuko and put a hand on her shoulder, opening a telepathic link and trying to keep it discreet, if it was something serious, she didn't want to alarm Emi or Hisashi both.
["What's going on exactly? You both seem a little alarmed, I hope nothing's going on, right?"] She didn't know what to make of it exactly, but this was her home, and she was one of the strongest there she felt. If it was a threat, she was going to help out. ["If there's a danger coming, I can stay to help. I'll try to convince the other two to go ahead without me."] Ayami gave a firm nod before returning to where she was, keeping the link open for Atsuko's reply, if any. She herself had become a tiny bit more tense, if this really were a threat, she'd have to hope all of that training had paid off for the better. She would have to hope that for all she worked for, this wouldn't be too much for her to handle.

Even if she was embarrassed to the point her face was a tomato, Atsuko's armor was easily probably the best possible distraction on the lookout for the wolf girl. With how shiny and nice the armor was in her opinion she had been so distracted by that she hadn't even noticed Emi until the wolf girl had heard someone call her cute. One of her ears would twitch as she turned her gaze back towards Ayami only to see a new face walking over to her. Before Hisashi could really process what was happening she was already being held. Despite not knowing Emi the elemi always welcomed affection in most of its more innocent forms as it happened to be one of her favorite things- shiny things were another favorite of hers, if that couldn't easily be told by how easily Atsuko's armor had taken her full attention away from the embarrassing reaction she had to being invited into the Knights.
The praise Hisashi received from Emi brought color back to her cheeks. To her it seemed like a lot more than she deserved- climbing the tower wasn't that hard, the only two hard parts about it had been when she got herself soaking wet and the second was that she was deathly afraid of heights. It's why she avoided the edge of the lookout as much as she could and allowed herself to be easily distracted. She accepted the hug and returned it as well. If it were supposed to feel motherly, it would only feel foreign to Hisashi. It was definitely different from most other hugs she had received but a lot of those had come from her father. His grip on her would be a lot tighter and compassionate, while hug she was receiving now felt much more gentle and kind.
Hisashi seemed mostly okay with a lot of the things Emi was doing to show affection- she would make a face as she was having her cheeks pinched, but for the nose rubbing, the hugging, and hand holding she was fine. More than fine, really. Hisashi was just a little greedy- not for money, but for affection. And she could roll and revel in it just the same if she really wanted to. She would never go out of her way to force someone to give her affection but when she would actually get it she would enjoy it as much as she could.
When Atsuko mentioned that the lookout could act as a home for family and friends it would bring a big smile to Hisashi's face. Not only could she train, but now her father could watch her progress- hell, he could even help her make it back up to the top later once she was able to bring him. The experience could be good for him, too. It was a perfect way to show him that he and Hisashi were not the only ones still swinging swords around.
Hisashi would turn her attention over to Ayami while Atsuko spoke with Excalibur. One of her ears would twitch as she tilted her head to the side a bit. "Training weights? We're gonna be lifting weights?" The wolf girl asked, clearly not knowing what training weights were supposed to be and what they did. She was hoping that their training wouldn't involve too much hand-to-hand combat- when it came to that form of combat, she fell extremely short. Hisashi was a sword fighter, not a boxer.
Emi moved calmly and with her tired eyes fading fast. Kindly going through the motions with Ayami pleased to see her happy loving face greeting her. But was quickly to the new girl as she'd quickly taken to the cute look and fluffy features of the small one. It was in many ways the pinnacle of adorable cuteness. This made her smile and enjoy feeling her nose against hers in the warm affectionate way she showed her joy of the new person. She adored the way people were around the lookout. Free of so many secrets behind closed doors. This place didn't have as many nearby enemies as the empire so here things were more as clear as they seemed. There wasn't rebels to worry about lurking behind every corner like in the beginning. She stood back up after the brief loving embrace holding the girls hand warmly and seemingly willing to lead her onward not far behind Ayami but pausing when Ayami stopped next to Atsuko and the red dressed woman. Staying close and protectively near Hisashi her hand holdig the girls softly and smiling down at her before looking back to Ayami. "Is something wrong?"
Placing a hand on Ayami's shoulder for a moment. Trying to get her to turn to face her. If she did the two as close as they were in proximity and spirit would share a brief loving kiss. One a bit more... special it seemed then what the guardian may have been used to seeing from Emi before. Emi didn't have much a idea of proper behavior for relationships so she had no idea to be worried or if Atsuko and her blade had ever heard in recent nights the getting to know of each other the two girls had been doing. Emi most certainly a avid learner of such events. So the kiss may not have been as surprising as one might think.
Meanwhile a little ways further down the being climbing was making a fast headway. Far more quicker then one with only such a power level in sensation should be able too. Durendal keeping its power hidden. But the speed of which it moved making it feel it'd be there in a matter of moments. Gigglign along the way with while a lightly tainted feeling in energy its youth and strange innocence reflected as well. Jarvis still silent as ever meditating at the base. To give Durendal all the room it needed given its bound nature to Jarvis.
As soon as Durendal was close enough a few words flashed in Excaliburs mind! A force that felt familiar! Not for Atsuko but for the bladed woman all in red. "Whoa is that you? The one from before! I'm on way up! I'm alone for now! You are her aren't you? Something felt familiar before! Please answer me!" Something about this one in spirit and sensation felt similar. If not strange yet similar... Durendal had asked Jarvis for this brief visit before real meetings later. It wanted its own understanding of them and to meet her itself. To find out if what Jarvis had told it was true. A spirit of similar being... perhaps some curious idea for the same reason Emi herself felt so little of kinship in a sense of species or race. it was rare such creatures ever met anyone that could understand them on such a lever. His speed quickening. Already passing Korrins ruined tower bellow. Climbing the final pole nearing the latter ahead.
Jarvis fading into a meditative slumber nearly at the base. Waiting as he become bored of this. Chewing on one of those special apples he'd brought with him. A bag of several at his side to keep himself... entertained. Better versions he'd had his people working on for far more of a kick. he could feel the relaxed sensation setting in even with his built tolerance. He was told by Misha the quality of the hybrid apples made from the ones he desired before. Would outright kill someone with no tolerance. He didn't believe it given they only gave him mild effects at best.
