Shelter (for Terini)

[CaptainL]

Getting lost in her thoughts, Blair hadn't even realized that Lunar had abandoned the sink, or that its contents were overflowing - not until the girl took notice herself and turned to shut it off. In the process, the plate slipped from her hand, and in an instant, Blair went tense, wincing at the thought of the inevitable crash. She jumped up straight in her seat, her hands planted against the surface. "Hey, look out-!" she called - but by the time the words had left Blair's mouth, Lunar had already reached down to catch the plate in midair! At the sight, the Muay Thai fighter stopped to blink a few times, looking on wide-eyed in disbelief. Did she...really do that?! Lunar's reflexes had to have been incredible in order for her to act on such short notice - but then again, she had seen what she could do herself in her match. And, as Blair thought back on that, her eyes narrowed and she bit at the inside of her cheek, crossing her arms with a huff. She knew it was foolish of her, and she knew it wouldn't get her anywhere, but she couldn't help but feel just a little jealous of her skills. And when she was banned from training, it just made it an even sorer spot - how was she supposed to get to where Lunar was now? If she had to spend all this time doing nothing, her skills would only decline. She would be behind everyone else when she came back, even behind where she was at the time of her last match. And in her career, that could only leave her stranded, with no hope of catching back up to the competition. Blair wanted to reclaim her glories, but now it seemed that was hopeless - she had failed before she'd even began.

She sat there staring for a moment, lost in her own thoughts, before Lunar's words shook her back into reality. And, once again, she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at her eccentricities. "Seven!? What do you need seven TVs f-" she began, only to stop herself when she realized there were so many people living here. That, at least, made enough sense...though what didn't was when Lunar went on to tell her the TVs hadn't been used in years, and she didn't even get service to them for that matter. Blair was starting to suspect that efficiency wasn't exactly Lunar's strongest suit - which made it stand out all the more that, despite it all, she had still managed to become a capable fighter. One who had even beaten her.

"Wait, uh...you have seven TVs, but you don't even get reception on them? Don't you think you could get rid of them at some point?" Then, she let out a sigh, letting her shoulders slump. She didn't need to make this another argument. "You know what, forget it...I guess I can just go back to my room and get more rest..." Still, her eyelid twitched a little at the thought. She was definitely going to have to get creative to pass the time...

[Terini]

Lunar would have finish cleaning all the plate as she would have did a bit of stretch while turning toward Blair direction to see her...pouting? Lunar would have let out a mocking grin "aww is someone jelly?" She said in a teasing tone as she would have let out a giggle at the fact that Blair is jealous over her being able to catch a plate midair...even thought it is nothing special...afterall catching thing is quite easy if you know where it will be going

It is just a simple matter of observation and patern recognition...once you get everything figure out then then it is simple to make a accurate prediction ahea of time...and if you know what coming then you will know how to prepare for them...of course there is a couple of exception...like Blair shock over her having 7 unused TV...honestly she doesn't know why she has 7 TV herself so Blair shock shouldn't even surprise her...somehow it still did

Tho blair question however..."a couple of time..i honestly don't even know why i even bother buying 7 TV...i don't even use them myself...i don't even know why i bother building this house with so many room in them...i am alone after all, why should i even bother buying things meant for many people...yet i just can't bring myself to throw the TV away" Lunar mumble softly as she would have grab her own arm while letting out a sigh

"...why you going back to your room? You should go to the libary first...you want to watch something right? So at least grab a CD first before you go to your room...I have a whole shelf full of CD, people keep giving it to me for some reason...on such a specific date too...is 14 of febuary and march a CD gift giving date or something?" Lunar mumble in confusion as she would have began to walk as she suddenly grab Blair hand to drag her along "come on, we going to the libary...this will give me time to think of something for you as well...after all training moron such as you will explode if they don't train at least once a day" Lunar said bluntly

[CaptainL]

Hearing Lunar teasing her caused Blair to let out an audible groan, slapping one hand against the table. "I am not-! How old are you?!" she snapped, only to let out a sigh a moment later as she slumped lower in her seat, bringing up her other hand to pinch the bridge of her nose. Despite her accusations, she couldn't help but realize how childish she was acting, and it caused a blush to come to her cheeks. She was supposed to be cool, composed, in control - that was the secret to her success. The only reason she'd lost this match was because she'd let her emotions run out of control. And now, she was letting the same thing happen. How was she possibly going to bounce back from this if she couldn't even fix her own problem?

She let out a sigh as Lunar went on to describe that she didn't even know why she had so many TVs, or even so many rooms in the house. With a groan, she sunk against the table, holding her head in her hands. She wasn't even going to bother to address that Lunar had described building the house herself - or at least designing it, which was at least a little less baffling. Either way, she was done questioning her. She already knew that nothing about this girl made sense; there was no use in fighting that. "Ugh, you know what, forget I asked..."

But when Lunar asked Blair about going to the library, Blair looked up with a pause. She...did have a good point. She didn't even know there was a library here. If she was going to be staying here for so long, she might as well explore the place. She wasn't sure what she'd find around any given corner...but at least it could be interesting, in any sense of the word. At least it would give her something to do, and it would help to know where everything was, should she need it - though she still blinked in confusion as Lunar asked why she was getting CDs on the 14th. "...do...do you not know what Valentine's Day is?" she said, raising an eyebrow. As baffled as she was that Lunar wouldn't know about the holiday, it also made her pause a moment in thought - someone had to be sending her all those CDs at those times, after all. Did Lunar have an admirer? And now...was Blair about to get caught up with them too?

Blair sighed again, thinking of how she wasn't sure she'd ever hit the bottom of this rabbit hole. But before she could think another thought, Lunar grabbed her arm and started dragging her to the library, and she was forced to follow after. "H-Hey, hey..!" she sputtered, stumbling after the girl. "Yeah, fine, that's fine, I was going to ask to go anyway-! But you don't need to drag me there-!" When she heard Lunar accuse her of exploding if she didn't get to train, she lowered her head, grumbling under her breath but biting at her lip to try and hold back the frustration. Just because it was true didn't mean it stung any less to have it pointed out to her.

[Terini]

"I told you before smart muscle brain, i am 19 years old" Lunar said softly as she let out a smirk "you know i am expecting you to be a lot calmer, but it seem my guess is wrong...well there is nothing particularly wrong with it, just an observation"

Tho she would have widen her eye slightly when Blair mention Valentine Day "chocolate gift giving right? Of course I know what valentine day is...it is a day where a lot of food went into discount while having a lot of heart for some reason" she said bluntly and confidently as she is confident that she is right, afterall she usually wait for this day to buy a lot of thing since it went on discount afterall

When Blair went silent from her complaining, Lunar would have let out a giggle "what cat got your tongue? What i said before was a compliment...nothing that you should be embarrassed or frustrated about...training moron such as you is a rare bread...tho for some reason i keep finding them more and more as time goes by" she mumble softly "...it is a admirable trait...even if i have no idea the porpuse of it" she mumble the last sentence as it seem she is talking to herself quitely on the last part

[CaptainL]

"...It was rhetorical." Blair sighed, sinking down over the table as she rubbed at her temples. "Look, I usually am calmer than this, but...all this stuff is new to me, and I don't know how to deal with it. Plus, y'know, still getting over that match and all..." Just thinking about it made her go tense, hugging her shoulders closer together as her teeth bared in a wince. It wasn't just the aches and pains of that match that Blair was getting over - it was the fact she had let her emotions get the better of her, and how that had thrown off her game and cost her the match. In fact, she was already starting to slip into that again. She squeezed her eyes shut, trying to focus. The fact that she could so easily lose sight of what was important didn't bode well for her, and she needed to avoid falling into the same trap at all costs...not that Lunar was making that easy for her.

She was also incredulous at the thought that a nineteen-year-old didn't know what Valentine's Day was really about, besides hearts and chocolate, but she wouldn't have time to ponder that much before the girl dragged her into the library. But even being quiet wasn't helping her, considering Lunar proceeded to prattle on again about her being so focused. Blair let out a long, low sigh, her shoulders slumping. "You know, if it's a compliment, you probably shouldn't call me a moron..." she muttered.

As she stepped into the library, Blair briefly stopped, looking back over her shoulder and raising her eyebrow. She could've sworn she heard Lunar say something else...but she put that out of her mind. She didn't need to keep letting herself be distracted when that was what got her into this mess to begin with. Turning to the shelves, she began to look through the books. For a moment, her finger lingered over some of the books on martial arts...but then, she stopped. When she was already in a bad mood over her loss, she didn't need to remind herself any more of her failure by concentrating on the books that would surely all describe avoiding the very situation she'd fallen victim to. Instead, her attention drifted down to some novels, looking to see if any of the titles seemed interesting.

[Terini]

"What is so wrong with the previous match?" Lunar said rising her eyebrow "you did pretty well considering you are up against me...i actually drop the entire act and fight seriously if you lasted a bit longer" she said bluntly toward Blair as what she said is the truth, it is the first time she ever been force to almost went all out afterall...so Blair should be proud of that at the very least

"But you are a moron tho? A training moron suit you much better than little dragon...afterall little dragon doesn't showcase your maniac approach to training" she said bluntly as she would have begin to look around the entire place "hey can you stay here for a moment? I need to go back to the room to grab something real quick" without waiting for a respond Lunar would have begin to immediately walk away and closed the door toward the library

When Blair is looking through the book of the novel section, one thing that she would easily notice is how dusty everything is as like everything in the entire place has been unused in years...however there is something that is not dusty...however it is not a novel...instead it is simple a folder hidden between the dusty novel

[CaptainL]

For a moment, Blair was left there in the middle of the library, staring off into space. A lot of what Lunar said inspired, for the most part, confusion and annoyance in her. But what she had said now - that had come through, crystal-clear and undeniable. Her eyes went wide with wonder the more she contemplated it. At last, Lunar was willing to admit it. Blair had done well. She had encouraged Lunar to put forth honest-to-god effort in an attempt to overcome her, and she had quite nearly come away with the win herself. All this time, Blair had been unable to look at this match like she did all of her failures - a hopeless, crushing defeat that was only worthy of shame. But perhaps...there was something to it after all. Perhaps Lunar had seen something she'd never could, something that she needed to see. And for just a second, the corners of her lips crept upward into a smile...

Just before Lunar changed course with what she said next. "Hey-!" Blair let out a long sigh, her shoulders slumping as she folded her arms and grumbled. She bit her lip, looking down at the floor to hide the blush on her face. At the same time, maybe Lunar did have a point - maybe her dedication to her training, and her feverish, single-minded pursuit of her goals had led her to make mistakes she should have seen coming. But either way, she wasn't about to call herself a "moron" about it.

What shook Blair out of her thoughts and back to reality came next, as Lunar announced she needed to step out. "Hmm? Yeah, okay. Sure." Blair shrugged her shoulders. She wasn't quite sure what it was that Lunar had forgotten, and she had to admit a part of her was curious. But she also knew this would leave her alone with her thoughts - and perhaps she needed that, if only to work out what was going through her head. Of course, Blair had barely finished her sentence before Lunar was already out the door. She let out a sigh, grumbling to herself. She didn't think she'd ever understand her.

Looking around the library, now that Lunar was gone, only invited more questions. What struck the Muay Thai fighter was that, for how large the library was and how extensive its collection was, the occupants of the house didn't seem to use it very often with how it was covered in dust. It all felt wasteful to Blair. If they had all of this, they might as well use it. What stood out the most was what wasn't covered in dust - one folder, tucked among the books.

Blair turned to it, her eyebrow raised in curiosity. Whatever it was, it had to have some importance. Why else would they keep returning to it, even when they passed over everything else? Perhaps it was something personal, she thought. She couldn't help but worry if she was intruding on anyone's privacy by wanting to look closer, and that perhaps she should leave well enough alone. But she wanted to know more. She couldn't just walk away without satisfying her questions. And Lunar had already left. Perhaps it wouldn't be that bad. She could just take one look. No one would have to know.

Blair crept a little closer, pulling the folder out from the shelf. At the least, maybe seeing the cover would be enough of an answer.

[Terini]

When Blair pull out the folder out of the shelf, she would have found that the folder has no title...noo cover...no nothing...a plain folder that seemingly have nothing special going on for it...however it would have been clear that it have been used multiple time

If Blair decided to open the folder, then she would have found letter...a lot of letter. All of them are being adress toward one person. Rie.

All of them talk about how they wish that Rie is living healthy, they would have ask how her days have been going, how they wish Rie would have contact them when she could. But most importantly, how sorry they are...how they regret everything...and how they hope that she will forgive them one day.

And all of them would have come from one person...Rie's mom

[CaptainL]

Blair couldn't help but wonder what this folder could have been. Evidently, Lunar had been returning to it time and time again if it hadn't managed to accumulate the level of dust that everything else on the shelves had built up. Maybe it was some sort of training manual? Or maybe it had important documents of some kind? For a moment, as she reached for the folder, Blair hesitated. What if it was something personal to Lunar? She didn't want to pry too much into her personal life - as much as the girl's eccentricities could baffle her at times, she didn't want to be rude. She also didn't want to risk straining their relationship, especially if they were going to share this space for a while. But even still, it was hard to look past her curiosity. She stared longingly at the folder - she wasn't even sure how long her gaze lingered on it. Then, she glanced back over her shoulder, seeing the coast was clear. Maybe just this once, she told herself. Just to address her curiosity, and then she'd put it back.

But for all the possibilities Blair thought about...she didn't expect this.

Her eyes went wide as she looked over the letters, and it occurred to her then that she only had further questions. Who was this "Rie?" She'd never met anyone with that name - it seemed there were a lot of people living here, so she wouldn't put it past there being another that she simply hadn't met yet. But something told her this was more important - why else would there be this many letters, and why did it seem like someone was so keen on looking through them as often as they were? It occured to her that she had only known her prior opponent as Lunar, but she didn't know her real name. She hadn't heard anything about her parents, either. Was Rie...Lunar? And were her parents still out there, trying to reach her? It made Blair smile just a little to herself - the thought that this Rie still had her mother, at least, wondering where she was, hoping she was doing well, and staying in touch, was reassuring. Maybe she wasn't out here all alone - maybe someone cared. But she couldn't overlook the undertones of something darker. There had to be a reason why Rie cut contact with her family - and there had to be a reason why they would want forgiveness.

The Muay Thai fighter closed the folder with a gulp, deciding it wasn't worth dwelling on any more. For a moment, she stared off into space, pondering everything she had seen. She'd been in search of answers, yet every stone she uncovered just left her with more questions. Then she reminded herself that she couldn't just stand around staring - especially when she was going through someone else's documents, she wasn't about to make herself look suspicious. She quickly placed the folder back on the shelf, hoping that Lunar wouldn't notice where she'd been rooting around. Then, she let out a huff. She never imagined she'd be doing this...but Lunar really left her with no choice.

[Terini]

After a couple of minutes Blair put the folder back to the shelf, Lunar would have returned with a couple of notebook and a pen "thought i should bring this with me so i could continue to write something as i watch over you" she mention softly as she would have show off the moon theme notebook and pen

"Tho...you do look off? Did the pain get worse or something?" She said as she tilted her head as it is something that she could definitely see her patient doing considerinh how stubborn she is about the weirdest of thing, so it wouldn't be a huge shocker if Blair decided to hide away her pain because of sheer stubbornness and it come back to bite her when she is away or something similar

"If so try to sit down or lay down or something...i should have a futon somewhere...need to find where it actually is tho" she mumble softly "seaching something here is like seaching someone in a maze, extremely annoying"
