Nice of them to leave my jacket. [AWKWARD PAUSE. The voice coming from Smoker's journal account is not his usual. Or from a male at all.]

What's with my voice?! [That just squeaks there in high-pitched worry.]

Ah hell... I have boobs.

Fuck you Malnosso.

[He... she rather, clears her voice.]

S-Smoker is back... [That's a bit hesitant.] Ikki, he... he might need help. Jitte and kickboxing lessons will return to normal, sorry everyone about the delay. Could I have a headcount of everyone still wishing to take them? I might need to reorganize his schedules.

[The last part is muffled as he starts to shut the journal.]

Damn it! These jeans are way too big! Now what?!

Devil fruit, haki. In my world, to slow down for even a second is to fall behind. Being away so long is a setback. And for those two things I don't have someone to train against.

[Action]

[lostinmyway]

[She thinks about that for a bit. She doesn't know what either of those things are. Later, she could ask some of her friends, like Ginia or Helios. They're both very smart, after all.

For now, though:] We could train together. Maybe it would help a little.

[Action]

[justicereigns]

[Side glance.]

You think so?

[Fufufu... he will soon have an army of jitte wielders to take on all those pirates :>]

[Action]

[lostinmyway]

Oh, yes, I'm sure it will.

[Except she means she'll use her magic to train with him, not learn the jitte....]

[Action]

[justicereigns]

[He's starting to realize she never mentioned interest in weapons or kickboxing before...]

What do you use?

[Action]

[lostinmyway]

I use eres. [Beat.] Oh, and my urn.

[Smile!]

[Action]

[justicereigns]

How? In what way I mean?

[Action]

[lostinmyway]

Oh, I just think hard, and then my eres happen.

[Action]

[justicereigns]

I guess I'll have to see it in action, since I'm not sure how it's comparable to haki or devil fruit.

[Action]

[lostinmyway]

All right. [She has no idea, either.]

I wonder when we should have our first practice.

[Action]

[justicereigns]

I guess since it's not something hampered by my size, we could probably try it now, if you don't mind going to the barracks for room.

Or later if you prefer.

[Action]

[lostinmyway]

Why don't we go when you finish your coffee?

[She...kinda forgot to get tea, whoops.]

[Action]

[justicereigns]

Sure, all right. [Drinks his coffee. Mmmmm coffee.....]

Have you sparred anyone else in Luceti before?

[Action]

[lostinmyway]

Hmm.... I wonder.

[Nope. But she's gotten into a surprising number of fights.]

[Action]

[justicereigns]

Grune, I appreciate the thought, but I really wouldn't want to hurt you.

[Action]

[lostinmyway]

Oh, I'm sure you wouldn't do that.

[Action]

[justicereigns]

Not on purpose.

[Action]

[lostinmyway]

I think it will be all right. We can just be very careful, that's all. I'll make sure I don't hurt you, too.
