The Training {Ryun, Eliza, and Tom/Trainig}

Eliza shook her head. "I don't think I can wait that long. But I tried Tom, no one took the bait." She said, looking at the streets.

"Then might as well". I roll up my sleeve revealing my wrist. "Let's go somewhere where we won't drag attention to ourselves".

Eliza looked surprised. "B-But you said emergencies only..." She told him, eyes wide.

"I know what I said, but might as well do it now so you can make the trip".

Eliza shuffled on her feet briefly before looking defeated. "Fine, lead the way." She mumbled, looking at the ground.

I lead her into an alleyway. "Here we are".

Eliza followed him, looking embarrassed. "I'm really sorry..." She said, looking at the ground.

"Nah, it's fine. It's a good idea that you feed before the little trip we have to take". I hold out my wrist.

Eliza looked at his wrist. "I-I know that, but... I still don't like hurting you." She said, gently grabbing his wrist.

"Believe me, I'll heal from this quite quickly". I give her a reassuring simile.

"Still..." She mumbled, pulling his wrist to her lips. She sank her fangs in, and started drinking.

I feel the blood draining from me, but the drainage didn't have as much as an effect this time as previous times.

Eliza drank a little longer than last time, but slowly took her fangs out. She still held his wrist, but looked up. Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth as she looked at him. "Tom?"

I place my hand on my wrist and I execute life force flux. In mere seconds the marks were gone. "Yes Eliza?"

Eliza blushed, he tongue darting out to grab the last drop. "Sorry... I was just making sure you were ok." She told him, looking away.

"Yeah, I'm fine". I smile.

Eliza's face was bright red. "O-ok. Well, let's go find Ryun." She stuttered, sounding nervous for some reason. She began walking to exit the ally.

"Onward then". I start the voyage.

Eliza walked out of the ally and began looking around. Her face was still red. When Tom had said "Yes Eliza?", she could have sworn he was Casper. She shook her head, trying to rid herself of the thought. She concentrated on the matter at hand. Didn't Ryun say to ask people where he was? So, she walked up to a guy. "Excuse me? Where can we find Ryun?" She asked. "Ryun? The dojo." Was all he said before returning to his conversation. Eliza blinked, then walked back to Tom. "Apparently he is at some dojo." She told him.

"Already spotted it". I point to a very high point of a mountain. "It's gonna take awhile to get up there on foot. I don't even think I would be able to make the trip with wind cannon".

Eliza sighed, looking angry. "I've had enough of these mountains..." She said, even though she seemed more lively than she had on their way up the mountains this high.

"Well, I'm definitely not a mountain man, but this shouldn't be TOO difficult". I smirk as we ascend the mountain.

Eliza grumbled something inaudible as she followed Tom, still looking pissed. But she also seemed to suddenly blush. The thought of Casper had returned, no matter how hard she tried to push it back.

We continue the assent. Then I thought I heard Eliza said something. "You say something?"

Eliza shook her head. "No, nothing." She said, but sounded a little angry. She continued to climb after him.
