Dian Xin groggily rose from his sleep, the cheap, stiff, rented mattress he had slept on giving him all the support of a stone as he pushed up off it. The halfblood blinked once, twice, and brought his hands to his eyes to manually wipe away the dust of a hard sleep from his eyes. What time was it? Dian Xin glanced around the room until his eyes fell on the dim green light of a motel clock. Only eight or so in the morning? Damn good time, all things considered. His mind was hazy as he tried to reconstruct the events of the nights before. As he smacked his dry lips, beer came to mind. Yes, thought Dian Xin, he had gone drinking. And met someone? A wanderer, just like him... Trouza! The vagabond with martial artist ambitions and a mysterious past. They'd had quite an interesting conversation, though Dian Xin had not stopped his drinking until well after the man had departed. Dian Xin's hand went to his breast on foggy impulse, and he felt the bump of a tiny capsule in the leather of his travel jacket. Which, he thought, was probably rank with the smell of beer, smoke, and sweat. He must have made his way to the motel room and collapsed on the mattress, he realized as he looked about the room. It seemed that he'd made his way back here all by his lonesome: a blessing and a curse. Shaking his head, Dian Xin rolled off the bed and grabbed the sword that was leaning against the nightstand. Quickly tucking it into the belt as his waist, Dian Xin sighed in feted exhaustion. His body muttered in protest, seeking both nourishment and relief. Dian Xin's stomach gave a cry of exasperation, and he fumbled for his bag, quickly drawing out some of the trail mix he'd purchased when he first came into town. Greedily, Dian Xin shoved the mix of nuts and dried fruit down his gullet, trying to fill the bottomless pit that had opened up within him. It was some time before the stomach's growls subsided, but they did go. Now, he thought as he made his way for the door, was to get some exercise. And he had just the thing in mind. Dian Xin stepped out into the morning sun, his eyes instinctively flinching shut as the bright light of the morning greeted him. The two purple-irised eyes screamed their displeasure, but Dian Xin eventually stumbled down the walkway of the upper motel floor, feeling his way along with the railing. It came to an incline with the stairs, and he took those slowly, his mind and body still unsteady. But it was not long before he reached the bottom and staggered out into the motel parking lot. It was time, he thought, for some exercise. Quickly, his hand went for the capsule in his jacket and he drew the tiny technological wonder out and pressed it. What it did, he was not sure, but Dian Xin hoped that Trouza was true to his word and the device would summon him. If not, well, Dian Xin would need to find some other means of exercise this morning, outside of sparring. And Dian Xin waited as the morning sun continued its arc towards its zenith, one hand on his hip, the other resting on his sword out of habit.

Trouza was already up for a few hours and met day break earlier, having gotten used to the last of the evening breeze escaping the rays of light. Fortunately the motel had an open field just behind it and just across the parking lot for guests' children and dogs to run around in, not like they were in a congested city anyway. Aside from the elderly who loved waking up early and enjoying their town while everyone was asleep, he was pretty much alone and undisturbed, free to perform his ki exercises without raising too many eyebrows. Of course he couldn't blow up boulders or perform his blasts for fear of damaging property, but the field was enough for a few rounds of jogging and practice with his strikes and kicks later on. Something light to get him on his feet and on his way. Dian Xin came to his mind and his eagerness to spar with him as Trouza was doing his stretching. While his newfound friend stayed to get a few more drinks in, Trouza had tucked in and slept early, hoping to not miss his early morning routine. The man probably wasn't planning on having an early morning. By sunrise, Trouza had already packed his things and was just preparing for his early morning exercise and a hearty breakfast before departing before the sun got too high and too hot. By the time he was done with exercise and meditation, he would already be on the road and be in the jungles by noon and be at the monastery just before nightfall. Whether he would see the strange warrior now or later at the monastery; he wasn't sure. Luck would have it however, his beeper would buzz a few moments later. Looking at the on-screen interface, it seemed that Dian Xin learned how to use his beeper and decided to contact him. Earlier Dian Xin exclaimed how he rarely used technology in this day and age; adding more mystery to the already mysterious swordsman. The man was already on the parking lot, not knowing that Trouza was in the field just nearby. Trouza answered the call from his spherical phone and looked around if the man was nearby. Kzzt. "Morning!" Trouza shouted at his device. "I'm just in the field behind our motel, come over!" Kzzt.

The electronic device burst with sound and Dian Xin leapt as a voice crackled from the capsule. The little device went tumbling from his hand into the dirt, and there it laid for a moment as Dian Xin stared at it in wide-eyed shocked. So, thought Dian Xin, the little thing was some kind of radio? Most impressive, and not what he had expected at all. Carefully, the halfblood swordsman stooped to the ground to pick up the capsule that he had so carelessly dropped in his excitement. He brushed the dirt from the device and moved to place right back into the pocket from whence it had came. It did not take long for the demon-blooded blade wielder to follow the instructions that had sounded from the capsule: following the directions of his newfound acquaintance, Dian Xin moseyed around the motel, making his way to where Trouza was waiting for him. The warrior raised a hand in greeting to his fellow and offered a bow a moment later. "Mornin'," said the weary warrior, stifling a yawn, "Glad to see you made up. Must not have went too hard last night, huh?"He offered the man a crooked grin as he brushed the messy mass of crimson mane from his face. As he settled, his hand came to rest naturally on the blade at his hip, as was second nature for the young man. "So," continued Dian Xin, "I don't suppose you were still up for the idea of a spar? I could use the exercise if you were willing."
Trouza sorry for the wait, been busy! Back now, though!

"I was planning to get an early check out and head off while the sun's still low so no." Trouza explained as he was on the grounds already doing his stretching. "I like good liquor every now and then but I don't let it affect my morning routine." Trouza looked at the warrior, seemingly still bedraggled and out of shape. He was indeed looking quite wasted and had fun the night before. Nothing against the swordsman of course. Trouza himself goes on such sprees even if he still trains in the morning. He was still looking forward to test his mettle against Dian Xin, though he would probably have to kick it down a notch with the man's state of hangover. He won't be surprised however if Dian Xin has a vastly more powerful base level than he has, what with the man's slightly uneasy aura. It was something he was looking forward to seeing. If this man was going to be an ally against evildoers, it would be nice to see his strengths, weaknesses and any other tricks up his sleeve. "Well, get in gear, man. Sun's almost up." Trouza instructed not unlike a coach. "We can do a round of sparring. See if any of that liquor's not affecting your focus."

So it seemed his companion knew how to hold his liquor. "Good on you," said Dian Xin, "I wish I was half as good at chasing away the phantom of drunken spirits." Dian Xin's inhuman eyes watched Trouza with interest as the man went through the paces of his exercises. For a moment, the idea occurred to Dian Xin that he ought to engage in something like that, if only to warm up just a touch. Nodding to himself, Dian Xin reached to touch his toes, his body groaning as he did. A muscle in his back cried out; he must have slept on it wrong. Hissing, Dian Xin rose back into a standing position. That was quite enough stretching for the moment, he thought. The young demonblooded swordsman was sure enough his body would limber up as time rolled on. And it seemed as if Trouza were ready to go on. It was time for them to fight, spar. Dian Xin nodded, a wide grin coming over his face. Now, he thought, this is what he had come for. None of this stretching nonsense, just a good, old fashioned brawl. "Give me one second," said Dian Xin. Quickly, he pulled the blade, scabbard and all, from its place at his hip and he walked off to the sidelines to set it aside. Setting it in the grass, far from where the spar was set to take place, Dian Xin turned his back on it and set on his way back to the field. He faced his companion and held up his dukes. "Ready when you are!"
Rolling initiative! pIibfpG41d100Trouza sorry for the delay again! Started back at university! But let's go! Dian Xin is rolling initiative! Also, I'm willing to keep score, if you'd like! 1d100

Trouza was done going through his paces and reps. This time, he would have a sparring partner and a strong one at that. Readying his stance, Trouza waited for Dian to get to his senses and fight off the morning hangover. Probably they would not be disturbing too much of the elderly people doing their walks, but the children would most likely sit and watch their fight. Not much of a concern, seeing as it was merely a friendly match. He was trying to get a feel of his opponent as he did some stretching, though right now his aloofness seemed unpredictable. Taking his sword aside, Dian would return to the field to fight hand-to-hand against Trouza, which could be an advantage. No matter, Trouza thought, the first few moves of the fight would dictate who would have his way. "Very well, let's begin!" Trouza uttered as he moved to fight the teen! UV6s2PHk1d125
