Alone

[Winters]

Pondering

There was.. a chuckle. It wasn't really meant to be a question to be answered, but more rather, as a question to ponder over.

"I guess I help people because it seems to be the right thing to do. I don't know why I'm alone. I think it's because too few people share my views on things these days. And the fact is I don't really know how to interact with people beyond a more professional manner and how to fight. My only strengths."

Professional manner.. and fighting? Two rapid blinks. A double take from Jonathan. He'd never heard of someone like this before. "..."

"..."

His hands slowly came out of his pockets.

"...F-Fighting... d-d-does f-fighting a-appeal t-to you?"

..For some reason, Jonathan was feeling a bit antsy. Right next to him was a man of possibly immeasurable strength.
..There was no question, that there was a flick of curiosity of something more then just 'do you like fighting'. At his rate, he was still too weak, but...

Curiosity was ever a powerful thing.

Moving his right hand behind his back, it clenched for a moment, before relaxing.

..And clenched again, into as tight a fist as he could.

Jonathan's eyes were smiling largely right now.

Pondering.

Just pondering.

[Jyo]

Jyo gave a small nod.
"Very much so. I don't have many skills beyond that of combat. It's more of a way of life to me. Granted I don't go out of my way to harm others. I find the actuall challenge of a fight to be what gains my interest." He said still not looking back over at Johnothan. Jyo rarely had the chance to explain the reasons he would put so much into his fighting abilities. It was refreshing to speak to someone who didn't have any knowladge of him.

[Winters]

"..Ich Will."

"Very much so. I don't have many skills beyond that of combat. It's more of a way of life to me. Granted I don't go out of my way to harm others. I find the actual challenge of a fight to be what gains my interest."

The tone sounded.. happy. Challenge of the fight. ..A joy to fighting?

..Maybe...

For a moment, Jonathan's whole body trembled. But only for a moment. Was the idea of there being a joy in fighting.. exciting to him? His right hand went up to his face, taking hold of the middle piece of his glasses.

"C-Could y-you.."

His whole body tensed.

"..C-Could y-you s-s-share y-y-your j-j-joy w-w-with m-m-me?"

He was weak.. he was very weak.. but..

"..D-D-Doesn't h-have t-t-to b-be i-immediately, s-s-since I-I'm c-c-currently n-not a-a c-challange t-to a-anyone, b-b-but I-I'm n-not t-to p-picky."

His eyes were still smiling, as he looked over to Jyo, the rest of his body a statue.

[Jyo]

Jyo looked over. He found the way the question was aksed slightly interesting. Not many asked for such a thing for a later time.
"Well I guess I don't see any problem with that. It's always interesting to match my skills against one who I've never gone against before." he said taking note of Jonothan's appearance. He looked light and speedy. But not physically powerful. Jyo understood his reservations. But Jyo was willing to bet he had a decent amount of raw skill. he had somewhat of a sixth sense about such things.
"Just let me know when you are interested. I'm not a hard person to find." he said.

[Winters]

OOC: Guess our thread ends here... Jonathan hasn't left the scene, if you want to make any final comments, I'll state his intentions, of what he will do, once he heads out of here.

Jonathan's Challange

"Just let me know when you are interested. I'm not a hard person to find."

Jonathan's eyes met up with Jyo's, as the two looked at each other. He was strong.. so very strong. The thought of it dug into something primal in him. The ocean's waves making for something reminiscent. He looked away, back into the ocean, his eyes full of wonder and...

That song. That is what he was thinking about. There was a smile.. before his mouth opened up slightly..

Theme Song: Alter Mann by Rammstein

Er wartet auf den Mittagswind
die Welle kommt und legt sich matt
mit einem Fächer jeden Tag
der Alte macht das Wasser glatt

Ich werf den Stein zu meinem Spaß
das Wasser sich im Kreis bewegt
der Alte sieht mich traurig an
und hat es wieder glatt gefegt

Im weißen Sand der alte Mann
zitternd seine Pfeife raucht
nur das Wasser und ich wissen
wozu er diesen Fächer braucht

Die Ahnung schläft wie ein Vulkan
zögernd hab ich dann gefragt
den Kopf geneigt es schien er schläft
hat er bevor er starb gesagt

Das Wasser soll dein Spiegel sein
erst wenn es glatt ist, wirst du sehen
wieviel Märchen dir noch bleibt
und um Erlösung wirst du flehen

Den Fächer an den Leib gepresst
im Todeskrampf erstarrt die Hand
die Finger mussten sie ihm brechen
der Fächer bleibt zurueck im Sand

Den Alten ruf ich jeden Tag
er möchte mich doch hier erlösen
ich bleib zurück im Mittagswind
und in dem Fächer kann ich lesen

Das Wasser soll dein Spiegel sein
erst wenn es glatt ist, wirst du sehen
wieviel Märchen dir noch bleibt
und um Erlösung wirst du flehen

Jonathan resisted smiling, for now. One day, he'd show Jyo his smile. He planned it to be the day that they fought. Win or lose.. but then, no one ever fights for the sake of losing..

"..W-Wait f-for m-me."

His eyes were smiling, and he looked at Jyo one more time. He had to get back to his apartment, and begin work on his homework, after all.

..He needed all the spare time for training.

Started walking away, to leave Jyo to think some more.

He needed some time to think as well.

[Jyo]

Jyo nodded in response.
"That I will. Get ready. I'll be eager to see what you will be capable of when we face off" He said and once more returned his gaze to the rolling waves. Now that he was left along his thoughts drifted back to his previous train of thought. His apparent inability to be able to feel anything about his situation beyond a slight hint of regret. Jyo knew he was going to have to find a way to crack the emotional barriers he put up so carefully. it made him contradict himself and confuse himself more than he confused others. he felt of he could gain an emotional attachment to his purposes. He could then be able to do much more for everyone around him.
