Who: Rider (![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
kidemonas), Gabumon and anyone happening by.
What: Training nights. Choose your own adventure with sneaky sneak and the eager partner.
When: Nighttime.
Where: [1.] Roaming Park and [2.] Around the city
[1.]
[The night air was still, so the sounds of heavy panting echoed louder than they should have. This is bad, the thought bounced back and forth through his mind, as Rider most likely already found his location. She could find him even without sight, yet here he was unable to find her with that sense intact. She was waiting for him to slip.]
[Focus. Focus. The round ends when one of them lands an attack, and the score still read zero for him. This was the fourth try tonight, and though this is the longest he's lasted, his partner wasn't going to give him another shot.]
[Fixing his gaze north, Gabumon jumped out from cover and darted through the darkness.]
Petite- [He readied his attack the moment she came into view. That's it! This was the first attack he's been able to pull off. He was going to..get...her...] Fire!
[Gabumon closed his eyes the moment of release, the shot of blue flame soaring through the air. He did it...right?]
[When he opened his eyes, Rider was gone, the fire hitting the tree and nothing else.] Wai- [Rider was behind him, and before he could say or do anything else, the woman kicked the digimon onto the ground. It was over like that.]
That's enough. We're done for today. [With that, Rider was already prepared to leave with that. Gabumon, on the other hand-]
W-wait! We've barely started! I can do this!
[He couldn't see them, but Gabumon could feel her gaze fixed solely on him through that blindfold of hers. It was a cold feeling.] The objective was to land a single strike. You are exhausted. The longer we continue, the more exhausted you will become. That defeats the point of this training. Go home and rest. [And again, Rider had no intention of continuing. But Gabumon wasn't ready.]
But I almost had it that time! I just needed one hit, right? And I...almost... [He did almost have the point, Rider was allowing him to have it. But he closed his eyes. He couldn't watch the attack land. Not against her-]
You are worried about attacking me despite my instructions, thus you hesitate in the critical moment. [And she had already deduced that weakness of his. Each session was to improve his capabilities, stealth, tracking, ending a fight before it even begins. Yet he always slips on the last, and stomping her foot down on Gabumon's back, she was going to hammer that point home.] Do the same any place else, and you are begging to die. [Gabumon was eager to fight for Rider, and with her own powers stripped, she has no choice but to let him. With word of something wrong spreading throughout the city, it was evident Gabumon wasn't ready to do what may be necessary.] If you hold an advantage, use it. [Removing her foot, Rider turned from Gabumon again, hopefully for the last time.] I will not die that easily.
[2.]
[Another night, still dark because- well- that seems to be most of Rider's haunting hour. Her room at the apartment is only ever used for a few hours of sleep during the day. Human bodies were annoying hinderances, but Rider had observed their needs back in her time as a Servant. She wasn't entirely incapable of adapting.]
[Still didn't change how annoying it was.]
[Rider wasn't under any orders here. There were Masters, but neither commanded her. So what does she do with this freedom? She continues on, scouting, listening to information, and so on. If Sakura arrived, then Rider could better protect her Master. Yes, this was all she could do.]
[So for those who happen to pass by, you may feel the odd sensation of someone watching. Or-]
Master? [Find a lost Gabumon, looking for his partner.]
[[ooc: Go with whatever you want, just let me know which one in the heading.]]
