[SakuraMinamino]

Sakura touched down, her wings drawn out from the long flight and surrounded in sparkling dust. She surveyed the others at the camp, looking over them critically. Thus far she had only taken part in smaller skirmishes near her homeland, but this war had gone on long enough. It was time to end this.

She saw a few people standing off to the side, giving her skeptical glances--likely at her apparent lack of weapon. She smirked. They would learn soon enough.

[Ashy]

Ashy glanced up from the book she witting down read, a newcomer had landed not too far from the tree she was sitting under. She smirked at the at the blatant lack of weapon. Many of the newcomers had become far too cocky with their skills, this had led to many losses.

I wonder how long this one would last for, she wondered to herself.

[SakuraMinamino]

Sakura glanced to her left and noticed a woman with an axe at her side sitting under a tree. She appeared to be a fierce enough warrior, though Sakura could tell she was being underestimated. No matter, that wouldn't last for long.

She nodded respectfully at the woman. "Who is currently in charge around here?" she asked. "I would like to lend my services to the war effort. This destruction of our planet has gone on long enough."

[Taiye]

Taiye stood shocked at the sudden embrace by Lucid. All her thoughts suddening vanished as she watched the young woman. She didn't know quite how to respond. Her cheeks filled with a light blush as she scratcher her neck nervously. "Oh..! T-thanks Lucid. It wasn't really a pleasant situation, but I'm glad it didn't turn out worse..." She smiled awkwardly, trying not to think too much about it.

[Ashy]

Ashy cocked her right eyebrow. "What were you born under a rock? General Fenrir is in charge here." She placed her book in her pocket and stood to face the newcomer, "however she's not here right now." Ashy paused for a second. "you seem to lack weapons, would you like me to show you to the armoury?"

Ashy already knew the answer to this question but she decided to test her theory anyway.

[SakuraMinamino]

Sakura raised an eyebrow at the woman's words and turned her head slightly, surveying the camp once more. "I am familiar with General Fenrir, of course," she replied, turning her attention back to the woman she was speaking to. "Even the most legendary of generals require sleep and sustenance, however, and I doubt very much that any of your comrades would be relaxing were she currently in the vicinity." She brushed a bit of powder away from her ear, and the spark at the contact was stronger than usual. She needed to find a sparring partner, and soon. "I would like to know who is in charge at the moment, please. I'm sure the general has myriad skilled Captains at her disposal?"

She purposely avoided responding the inquiry about weapons. She had asked her question first, after all--and if this turned into a test of skill, as she thought it might, she wanted to maintain the element of surprise.

[OOC: Sorry it took me so long to type that Dx I can be slow sometimes. xD]

[Taiye]

Overhearing the conversation between Sakura and Ashy, Taiye walked over to them and announced, "At this moment, I am in charge, in Fenrir's absence. I am Taiye, Captain of the Ghosts of Ascellus. And you are?"

[Ashy]

Ashy grinned at the girl's fiestyness, she was starting to like her. "Captain Taiye just landed before you, shes the one being glomped over there by one of the other recruits," she waved her arm lazily in the direction.

Ashy nonchalantly picked up her axe, "but before I can allow you to speak with Captain Taiye you must pass a little test."

She brought her axe down right where the recruit was standing, lets see how she fairs.

But just then Taiye walked over and introduced herself to the newcomer, Ashy stopped mid swing and in one fluid motion slung her axe on her back. She would have to wait till later, until then she waited for the newcomer to speak.

[Dammit Taiye jumped in and i had to change my post ><]

[SakuraMinamino]

Sakura inclined her head in respect to the Captain, then held out her hand. "It is an honor to meet you, Captain Taiye. My name is Sakura. I have come to join your forces in battle--I have seen enough of the damage this war has done to the world and can no longer stand idly by while it is torn apart."

Though Sakura's gaze remained on the Captain, she made sure to stay aware of the woman beside her. She had heard that axe coming down, and been a moment away from reacting. She would not fall prey to a surprise attack, should the woman attack again.

[Taiye]

(lol sorry, xD my bad)

Taiye gave Sakura a firm handshake, "Glad to have you with us. We need all the help we can get to keep this world from falling apart and defeating the Corrupt."

She then looked to Ashy questioningly about the action she had done towards Sakura with her axe.

[SakuraMinamino]

(Nuu, it's good that you're posting!! <3)

"Thank you," Sakura said gratefully as she clasped the Captain's hand. She followed Taiye's gaze back to the woman she had been speaking to earlier. "Do you have a sparring room?" she asked Taiye. "I believe she and I need to get...better acquainted."

[Ashy]

Ashy saw the look Taiye gave her, busted. Ashy shrugged her shoulders not looking at her Captain, "I wasn't actually going to strike her."

[SakuraMinamino]

Sakura laughed. "Weren't you?" she asked the woman. "Well, that does change things. Though I hope you won't be so lenient when in practice." She smiled. "I don't believe I caught your name."

[Taiye]

Taiye laughed, "This is Fenrir's training grounds! Everywhere is for sparring." She looked at Ashy, then back at Sakura, "I'd actually like to see this. Show me what you both can do."

She grinned, stepping back away from the two of them. Even though Taiye didn't think much of fighting in this war, she still liked to see a good sparring match.

[SakuraMinamino]

Sakura's hand twitched slightly as she turned to the other woman. Ashy, was it? Well, she would wait for her to make the first move, trigger-happy fingers or no. The element of surprise was one of the greatest advantages of her particular brand of fighting.

[Ashy]

Ashy looked at her Captain and then at the Sakura, "My name is Ashy." She turned her gaze back to her Captain. "I'm afraid I must decline the generous offer, I have more important things to do."

Ashy turned and walked away from the two, the strike on Sakura had made both of her hands numb. There was no way she was going to admit this to Taiye or Sakura though.
