"How do you think I lost my eye... I told her I was defecting, and she should too... Bullet right in my face."

Sayo
"That's... horrible", Sayo said, troubled. "Sorry to hear that. I wish I could say I think there's a chance of convincing her but... she seemed pretty adamant to either kill us or capture us in the name of 'Justice'", she noted, shaking her head. "Is... there anything I can do to help?"

"Capture? She never captured anyone before, she just killed all criminals and asked questions later." He said in disbelief. "It's nothing, I just need to be alone for awhile."

(OOC: By the way, did Mine interact with Sayo ever since she was first introduced to her? And if so, did she still act like a total jerk towards her? ) Sayo"Capture? She never captured anyone before, she just killed all criminals and asked questions later.""Oh. I... just assumed that's what she meant when she ordered us to surrender", she said, nodding. "It's nothing, I just need to be alone for awhile."Sayo immediately stopped walking alongside him, letting him go. "...Alright... then please take care. I'll be around." A bit troubled by all of this, she headed out to train. A dozen of enemy Teigu users... a few downhearted allies... Drake, who lost an arm to protect her... she needed to get a lot better than that if she was going to take the Empire down, and keep her friends alive while doing it.

(Yes, and yes.)
You head outside to find Kirei crafting more of those strange dagger things they seem to be just sword hilts shortened to a few inches until he holds them. "You want something?" He asks emotionlessly.

Sayo
"Oh... hi, Kirei-san", she said, as she walked by him.
"You want something?"
She paused, considering the question. "...Simply to train and get stronger so I can help taking down the Empire and keep my friends alive doing it", she said honestly. "There were three of us fighting against a single girl, and two Teigu. We technically had 6 Teigu. It should have been an overwhelming advantage, but we still barely got out with our lives."
She folded her arms.
"Now we have over a dozen opponents, all Teigu users. I need to get stronger... I need to take some of that burden off of everyone's back. I'm one of Night Raid's few multiple Teigu users. I must do everything I can to make this an advantage we can use to tip the scale in our favor. So I need to train, hard", she explained.

"I see. Best get to it then. Drake will be out of action for a couple weeks while he gets a new arm." He said.

Sayo
"Yeah..." she said, sighing, clearly feeling responsible for the loss of the young man's arm. "...I'll be over there in the forest if someone needs me", she said, heading out. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5 in Intelligence to loo around for a good spot to train by myself.

You locate a clearing not far off.

(OOC: I'll just write my plans for the next few hours; if nothing interrupts her, Sayo will train until she next needs to return to HQ for the next meal, or something.)
Sayo
"This here'll be perfect."
She began with warm-ups, followed by basic combat training, no use of her powers yet. She trained without any weapons, performing moves in mid-air... then with Tenken in its normal scimitar mode. Sh continued with her knife, both as a thrown weapon targeting a tree, and as a melee weapon for a while. Eventually she moved on to the bow, her speciality, shooting arrows at the same tree from multiple angles, situations, falling from heights, jumping, dodging, etc.
Later she moved on to train with her Teigu active, manipulating nature in multiple ways around her, sprouting plants and flowers, manipulating vines in multiple ways, commanding small insects and animals. She tried out a few animal forms as well, enjoying the experience aplenty. It would have been a lot of fun had it been a peaceful time, as she loved experiencing the world throught the eyes of each creature, but she was too serious to allow herself such respite. She also used the basic power of Tenken, to not attract too much attention by drawing a 100' giant too close to HQ, and eventually combined it with her other combat techniques, see how it went.
She finally tested out her new Teigu quite a bit, testing out Spectator's abilities in the somewhat limited situation, but nonetheless getting used to its unusually perceptive sight.
She practiced and trained hard until either something interrupted said training, or until it was time to go home. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Spending stones accordingly all along.

You are interrupted hours later by Gatsu. "Drake is leaving to be treated... If you have anything to say to him, best do it now." He said wordlessly before sitting down.

Sayo
"...Ah!... You mean... he's actually leaving for several weeks? I thought he'd be treated here... dammit. Alright... Thank you, Gatsu-san!"
She ran back to the HQ, not wanting him to leave before she said goodbye. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3 into Speed to run back at Speed 5.

You find Drake being escorted outside by a small group of men to a flying manta ray. "Ah Sayo... Glad to see one one last time before I head out." He said.

Sayo
"Yeah..." she said, nodding, as she walked up to him. "...I only just now learned you were actually going away. I thought you'd be treated here... my bad."
She lowered her gaze apologetically.
"...I just... I wanted to say goodbye, and wish you luck with... the treatment and replacement and everything." She looked back at him, smiling. "...And thank you for possibly saving my life back there."

"It is no problem, I consider it part of my Knightly Duties, I promise I shall return more capable than ever." He said getting on the ray which took off into the air.
