Sosshi had seemed like a good place to check out, to see if there was anything she could buy, but there had been nothing of note that she had wanted to pick up while there. The girl had picked up a backup hooded cloak for use in bad weather, just in case her current one ever ripped, before deciding to take a walk through the forest surrounding the little town. It was a nice day, and she really had no plans at the moment, so she had no qualms with just taking a stroll until she figured out something else to do. Any that came across her, however, would simply see an effeminate boy due to her clothing and practiced movements to keep up such an act. Well, that was if anyone noticed her first and not the other way around. If she heard anything, Elliot would go to check it out out of curiosity.
There were few reasons due to which Rosa was up in the morning before midday on her day off. [break][break] A) The man in her bed the evening prior had gotten up to do work and woken her up with breakfast. [break][break] B) She felt that it had been a while since she trained the control of her abilities. [break][break] C) It was a particularly breezy summer day and it reminded her of Thursdays back home at Kikka pre-magic knights. [break][break] There was really only one man that Rosalia couldn’t kick out of her bed the morning after getting drunk with him. He was a repeat offender of her attention with his perfect humor and kind attitude and love for alcohol. There was also that scent of his that made every hair on the back of her neck stand on end. She could almost swear he would be the end of her, best friend or not. The question “How do you like your eggs?” legitimately made the blood rush to her cheeks as she answered. [break][break] It was horrible. [break][break] Rosalia Boreas had forbidden herself from having feelings and relationships after her previous crush died in the Diamond War. And she’d stuck to it solidly for an year and a half until she met that particularly perfect imperfect individual who’d made the most of his one-nighter with her. Now she saw him daily unless she was out on an extensive mission. [break][break] Once he was out of her room, the ex-supermodel groaned and fell back on her bed. What was wrong with her? A man who could make her knees weak and her stomach turn shouldn’t exists. No no no. Fuck. This was just fate toying with her at this point, dangling a packet in front of an ex-addict. She hated it. [break][break] The witch moved to take a quick shower to try and cool off. It didn’t work. She came out hot, wet and seriously missing her wind magic because of her long hair. With a sigh, Rosa finally caved in to try and release some steam the best way she knew how after sex- training. [break][break] The Vice-Captain of the Black Bulls’ heels clicked over the wooden floor of the base, and out of it, as she headed into the back forests surrounding Sosshi. There was always a very particular outcropping where she enjoyed either reading or training. The breeze was gently, carrying the drops of warm water down out of her hair like a comb. She almost missed her old element. [break][break] Her ruby gaze landed on her opponent for the day-a large oak that had begun rotting away a while back. Taking out her grimoire, the breeze suddenly turned chilly as Rosalia tapped into her mana. Little snowflakes graced the air as she called out to her “Frostbite” whip, while simultaneously moving 8 meters within the oak as she quietly wielded her magical affinity to begin casting a magical circle trap around the tree. [break][break] The witch cracked her whip at the tree, taking a large chunk of bark off, before wrapping the tip of the whip at one of the higher up branches and launching herself up into the air. She swung her weapon down at the rotting branches, cracking two more of them off with precision. [break][break]

As she continued into the woods Elliot would begin to hear some strange noises. Not the sound of birds chirping, not the sound of squirrels or other small creatures roaming the trees or on the ground, but the sound of what sounded like a cracking noise. It was almost like a...whip? As far as the girl knew it was not a natural noise and thus she would begin to head in that direction. The noise only happened a couple of times, but even so it was not hard to find the culprit soon after beginning to search for them.
Not wanting to be attacked for startling them, Elliot Woodcock would simply find a place further away from their training spot before speaking up to talk in the general area rather than directly to them. Best let them find a guy wandering in the forest rather than a guy suddenly show up and start talking right at them. "Is someone out here? I heard a cracking noise and was concerned someone might have been attacked or got hurt." Practiced voice would speak up with a tinge of concern to back up the words being spoken. It was only one of the reasons for searching them out, as if they were just practicing it might be a good chance for them to do the same alongside of the stranger. That was only if they were not aggressive immediately, as that would make everything from here quite awkward.
About thirty minutes into her training, Rosalia was a sweaty, but still damn gorgeous mess. That giant dry tree was down after about 10 minutes of whiplashing but that hadn’t stopped the ice witch to continue practicing her mobility around the other forest. She swung from the trunk of one tree to the branch of another, the wind dancing through her hair as she launched herself onto the top of the nearby giant evergreen elm and whipped her brow. Had either of her best friends been here they’d be making dirty jokes about how much of a mess she was already. [break][break] A soft laugh escaped the beauty as her mind wandered off to Zaven and Malcolm. The two Captains were definitely busy with the current overwhelming reports of daemon attacks and suspicious movements around specific map locations, and she knew they’d share with her soon enough. Rosa was of a high enough position now to be able to aid them.
[break][break] "Is someone out here? I heard a cracking noise and was concerned someone might have been attacked or got hurt."
[break][break] The ice witch cocked an eyebrow at the gentle but concerned voice spoke up from somewhere along the trees. Someone else was here? If they weren’t already calling her by name or attacking her, than they were probably new to the area. The Vice-Captain of the Black Bulls cracked her whip once more, wrapping the icy magic leather around the nearby tree and launching herself in the direction of the voice. Her ruby eyes scanned the area coldly and her mantle fluttered behind her before she landed next to the only particular individual a few trees further from her. She quickly pulled on a closer section of her whip to swing it in the direction of that tree and wrapped it around its trunk before landing swiftly beside the black-haired boy besides her.
[break][break] “I’m fine, as you can see.” Rosalia responded with a casual little grin before leaning into the tree and catching her breath. The air around the pair instantly got about twenty degrees cooler as the beauty’s elemental quirk took effect. She didn’t notice, of course, she’d been living with the element for years now and only temperatures under zero degrees really bothered her.
[break][break] “Are you alright? I haven’t seen you around these parts…” Her hues scanned him as she pulled the scrunchie out of her hair, letting her crimson locks descend down to her hips. The ice witch quickly took note of the particular green eyes of the younger male, before glancing away. A little sigh escaped her lips. He was kinda cute.
[break][break] “If you’re lost I could take you back to Sosshi? These forests aren’t really safe…there’s bandit gangs, caves full of mana beasts…the scorpion cat nests are aggressive if you stumble upon them…” Rosa listed off, partially to tease the young boy as she watched his reaction. Her voice was velvety, soft and low.
[break][break] “Cuties like you may also fall prey to a particularly playful Magic Knight on her day off as she trains in this forest...” A little ferocious grin crossed her lips as she gave the boy a quick little wink. She meant herself, obviously.

Not long after she had asked her question would she hear another crack of something being hit before she was suddenly next to another person. Elliot would visibly flinch as the other girl landed and began to speak to her. As the other girl leaned against the tree, clearly to catch her breath, the temperature would drop quite sharply and cause her to shiver a bit before shaking her head. "That's good, I was concerned someone might have fallen or a limb had snapped and landed on them." The female would ask her if she was alright, as they had not seen the 'boy' around these parts before. She would have immediately said she was okay, if not for the distraction of the hair falling down causing her to check her out instinctively as she continued talking. Elliot was not lost, she had come out here willingly knowing the dangers. There was also the flirting that came with it, that brought along a slight blush as it was quite obvious what she was saying.
"I'm fine, I was just visiting Sosshi and decided to check out the surrounding forest to see how it was. I thought about doing a bit of training and exploring before heading back for a drink and stopping for the night before moving on in my travels. Bandits, mana beasts, scorpion cats. I'd say I'm scared, but it seems like some playful, beautiful, Magic Knight has graced me with her presence so I feel like it's safe here now." The smile she held on her face was an equal to the one that had been given to her in the first place by the other. "My name is Elliot Woodcock, a pleasure to meet you." She would end it with an introduction of herself, hoping to get the same in return.
Rosalia laughed soundly at the response from the male. He had a fair point. Somebody who wasn’t used to these forests and wasn’t very practiced could’ve indeed hurt themselves. But it had been nearly 8 months for her in the Bulls, and by now, she was more than comfortable here. [break][break] The blush that the beauty received from her small comments was adorable. It made her grin widen. Ahhh well this one’s a cutie. Her favorites were always the ones who she could tease…with one very large exception. Rosa’s mind wandered back to that very particular male before she shook her head and snapped herself back to reality. She’d be seeing him later anyways. And she was here to take her mind off of him in the first place! [break][break] Then the boy in front of her spoke, and made the Vice-Captain of the Black Bulls raise an amused eyebrow. It made sense that he was a visitor; she’d never seen him around after all. Rosa nodded when he said he wanted to train and explore before he caught her off-guard with his sudden forwardness. Well well well…what do we have here? A wolf in sheep’s clothing? [break][break] “It’s a pleasure to meet you too cutie, I’m Rosalia.” The witch introduced herself, leaving out her title because she always felt awkward in mentioning it. She was a commoner growing up and in heart. She didn’t even consider herself as much witch as human considering how she aged. But that was her race anyways. [break][break] “You can join me, if you’re still in the mood to train.” Rosalia added with a little grin, running a hand through her long crimson hair before pulling it back up in a high ponytail if he’d said yes. She’d motion for him to follow her. “There’s a nice little open area here that I’ve kind of claimed as my own. It’s a bit further away from the other Bulls, since their style of training is more…break the base down as much as possible while fighting one another.” The mage giggled, her grimoire still floating next to her as she took out her whip. She’d move to stand about 15 meters away from the boy, facing him.
