What had started as an early morning walk turned into an impromptu training session. Her skin felt too tight, the muscles along her shoulders and neck pulling as it tended to when Rozalin held her stress in. Now, mid-morning, she rolled her shoulders back, massaging them with the opposite hand. Sweat covered her skin from the physical attacks. She hadn't used her qi, didn't want to, and Ari was wise enough to fall silent as he sensed her mood. She'd been here for months now, her status as a trainee all but overwith. Graduation would be soon; she'd already set up a time. And then she could be free of this place. But then what? She struck at one fo the wooden dummies with her sword again, the blade cutting in deep with her growl of frustration and hours of abuse. Wiping the sweat from her brow with a sigh, Rozalin looked over to where the wave makers were and the water terrain. Short of going to the coast on the opposite side of 259, it was the closest thing she had to home right now. She wasn't even sure how she felt about it now.

Eventually, Preston would find her, much further out than he'd have liked. But he'd make the hike to catch up to her, standing at a distance to let her vent out whatever frustrations she may have. He was suspecting cabin fever, or shore leave fever. Whatever pirates called it.
He'd hold his tongue though and let her finish. He could wait.

She slowed after sensing another presence nearby, though they were patient enough to wait. Sheathing her sword after a particularly hard strike that left the training dummy shaking, Rozalin pushed her hair out of her face with a sigh. A sheen of sweat glistened along her skin as she pulled her hair off of her neck turned towards the newcomer, who turned out to be Preston.
"Morning." At least, she assumed it was for him. "What's up?"

"Morning."
He'd say as he adjusted his glasses once he was greeted. Taking a few steps forward before extending a hand out toward her and tapping into the mana around them to channel it into the holy element.
"Kiron Rot".
He'd intone as he sends the rejuvenating energy into Roz. He didn't know how much energy she had expended, but he could assist with that at any rate.
"You were not in your quarters so I thought it prudent to find you. I wished to talk about what we planned to do next."
Qi use 1/12

She took a deep breath as the energy rushed over her, relieving some of the persistent weariness and fatigue. She gave him a smile by way of thanks, raising a brow at the subject.
"Very well." Nodding, she'd step towards him. "You were looking into Cousta Bojer, right?" It was a distraction she welcomed.

"Yes. It is said that David Blaze fell in battle there. I'm unsure how he was brought back to life, but given that he was supposed to be ripped apart. It stands to reason I should be able to locate a bone of his there."
He'd adjust his glasses.
"It's one of the harder to find ingredients that I need."

"Sounds like that would be something to look into on its own, then." She let her hair drop after a moment, considering the limited and essentially impossible options they had. Still, she enjoyed a challenge, and if Preston thought he could manage it, she'd be willing to see how.
"Given your tome's ingredients, I can only imagine what else you're expecting to need, but I'm down for it." The smile turned into half-hearted grin.
"So what else are you looking at besides a Dragon's bones?"

"Some mundane ingredients, including a strand of my own hair."
Very easy to get.
"Other exotic ones include the blood of a God, the breath of a broken promise, ashes of a phoenix. Flesh from a symbiote..."

"Impressive." The God's blood and other exotic ingredients; not his hair.
"I assume that's what the sample was for?"

"The one you brought me was useless. It's not a real symbiote."
Like the one on her face.

"Mmph, true." Her eye twitched slightly at the idea of giving him a sample from Ari. A little closer to the face than she'd like, not to mention she was the on who would have to hear about it for gods only knew how long afterward.
"Tell you what, I'll consider it when you consider letting me even touch your tome." She winked, not saying no, but also not yes.
"But you were talking about a Dragon bone to start with."

He'd grin.
"You can hold it right now if you wanted."
He'd leave it at that though, the bone was going to be a biggie.
"The dirt and air samples I collected should help me cast a spell to get us to where we need to go. The idea is to inverse the natural energy of Cousta Bojer in a bubble around us. Thus masking and suppressing our own energy while within my bubble. In theory that should shield us from the storm and allow us to pass through unharmed. A feat that even the Dragons and Gods would be hard pressed to accomplish I imagine."
And there was his smug smile.

She chuckled as he offered to let her touch his grimoire, remembering their first meeting when he wouldn't let her do so until he felt she was trustworthy. Good to know.
She applauded slowly at his explanation, going so far as to claim that the Dragons and even the Gods would be hard pressed to do the same. Not that he might be wrong, but she could appreciate the smug smile he gave in return.
"They'd better watch out for you then." Admittedly, it was interesting enough, but she was also happy to leave the theories to the man with the plan for this round.
"And after we cross the storm?"

"Then we camp out under the monolith so I can attune my Mana and create a portal to the one safe spot in that region in case of an emergency. And we go looking for David Blaze's ripped apart body."

Another chuckle at the bluntness in his statement.
"Sounds perfect. What do you need from me?"
