Rating: PG
Log:

That was an easier battle than he had expected; although Getsukage was still weak from the bout, but Hiruzen and Senshi still did amazingly well. Obito, Evan, and Tenten had insisted on joining him, and it was hard to turn them away -- especially when Lightning thought that the additional company and protection was a good idea. Sasuke couldn't win against the argument, so all three of them ended up spectating for Sasuke's battle.

Still, something felt unsettling as he began to walk back, and in an attempt to not think about it he kept his eyes focused on the badge in his left palm, walking back towards the house alongside the others and no longer paying close attention to his surroundings. Unfortunately, that lack of attention paid was going to bet the start of a rather untimely event.

Maybe a chain? I've seen people do pretty spiffy things with chains before.

[usedswift]

Feng likes to eat chains.

[Disgruntled, but she shifts her weight to keep her balance and leans toward him.]

In my backpack, there's two sets of bolo. Ropes with weights on either end. I can fashion more've those if you want.

[itsjustdust]

Bolo are not really my idea of a good time though.

[usedswift]

They're not all that fun, but they're useful and non-lethal. Even work on Pokémon, if you get a rope strong enough.

[itsjustdust]

Still interested in a chain made in a similar way though. Less likely to get set on fire, you know?

[usedswift]

If you can find one and don't have a razorbird who munches your spare metal? You're welcome to it. Don't discount a bo-staff, either.

[itsjustdust]

I'm horrible with staff weapons though. [He sighed.]

We'll find things.

[usedswift]

A weapon's a weapon. Now might be your best chance to learn.

[itsjustdust]

Oh I know. I'll still work on it.

[usedswift]

[A sideways glance.]

After we spar, I could see about showing you how it's done.

[itsjustdust]

...That would be appreciated.
