Blade lessons!
Daddy and Fathy got called out to go somewhere by Megatron. Dunno where, they wouldn't tell me. Anyways, I got bored, so I headed over to see Mama. ^_^
*earlier*
WB: Steadfast! :D (runs up to the other femme-seeker)
SF: Hey, 'Blade! ^_^
WB: What'cha doin'?
SF: Watching the sky...
WB: Watchin' for what? (curious)
SF: Just watching. Being quiet. Thinking.
WB: Thinkin' 'bout what?
SF: Many things... Like how to keep bubbly little jetgirls safe. *slight smile* And if a Prime-shaped pinata would cause a scandal.
WB: (giggles at that) Megatron called Daddy and Fathy away for somethin'.
SF: I see. Did they tell you for what?
WB: (shakes her head "no") They never do.
SF: I guess they don't want you to worry. *thinks about how Terrorsaur marvelled that Wingblade could make it for a week without knowing she had weapons* They keep you really protected, hm?
WB: (cocks her head to the side curiously) Keep me protected?
SF: Like, you know how the big experienced Seekers go out and fight Autobots and do others things? *wonders if Wingblade is so sheltered she doesn't even know what 'Autobots' are yet* But they don't make you fight yet.
WB: Oh! No, they don't want me to fight. Say I'm too young for it.
SF: That's what I meant. They want you to be safe. *slight smile, a bit wistful*
WB: Ah... Yeah, the do. (grins a little, shrugging) Gets boring when they get called off, though...
SF: So what do you normally do when they're away?
WB: I look at these data-video things, but I've gone through all of 'em several times an' now they're boring...
SF: You could ask your daddy for new videos, maybe? *even as she says it, doubts that the horror movies Skywarp's commonly fond of are good educational entertainment for a young Seeker*
WB: Maybe. A couple o' times I've gone through Daddy's stuff an' set up pranks for when they return...
SF: Any successes yet? *wonders if Wingblade is already good enough to prank the Master Prankster himself*
WB: (giggles) They've walked into 'em every time.
SF: *looks at her with a mixture of amusement and "Shock and Awe"* You're a natural...
WB: (giggles) That's what Daddy says. ^_^
SF: You're following in his vapourtrail, hm? *find herself smiling a proud smile, even though she doesn't want to encourage 'Blade too much when it comes to that*
WB: (giggles some more) That's what Fathy said one time.
SF: Your Fathy is proud of you, hm?
WB: Yep! ^____^
SF: *smiles a little* Tell me, what did you do during your first days, before you met me? *is curious*
WB: I don' really remember my first day online... but when I came outta recharge on the second day, Daddy and Fathy were still rechargin' an' I was bored, and I saw some paints Daddy had left out and I painted 'em while they were still rechargin'.
SF: *laughs warmly* You caught on fast. I could tell you stories of your Daddy repainting me... he can do frightening thing with silly string, too.
WB: Silly string? Is that that light stuff that gets sprayed outta a pressurized can?
SF: *a bit worried about Wingblade's enthusiasm for such topics* Yes, that.
WB: (giggles) I rigged it up so that Daddy and Fathy would get sprayed with that stuff when they opened the door. Daddy locked up most o' his stuff after that so I couldn't get at it...
SF: I can imagine. See, the most important part of every prank is to not get caught...
WB: (shrugs) Can't. Not when pranking Daddy and Fathy. They know it's me.
SF: *grins* They would.
WB: (giggles) But when I help Daddy prank someone, we never get caught.
SF: 'f cause not! He's a genius. *smiles*
WB: (giggles) Yeah! Daddy is! ^_^
SF: *looks at Wingblade, so touched it almost hurts* Yeah. And a great warrior, too. - You want me to show you something?
WB: Sure! :D
SF: *gets her dagger out of subspace* Okay, I'll show you some about how to handle a blade. First rule, pointy end goes in the other guy...
WB: (nodnods eagerly, watching Steadfast and the blade avidly)
SF: Okay, now, I'm not going to actually touch you 'cause it's only a demonstration. You stab like this... *demonstrates* Now try. *hands her the blade*
WB: (slowly mimics SF's movements with the blade) Like that?
SF: *easily bats the blade aside* Yeah, like that. Only in a real fight, you'd use more force.
WB: (nods) ^_^
SF: *takes the dagger off her again and continues the demonstration* Now, you go for weak points, like joints or such, because it doesn't help much to just scratch the armour... *lunges at Wingblade's neck, but stops just short of it*
WB: (instinctively moves away from the blade as SF lunges at her, though she knew SF would never hurt her) Go for weak spots, like joints. ^_^
SF: *notices the evasive movement - to her joy, 'Blade is doing good* *hands the dagger to Wingblade again* Okay, try again!
WB: (studies the blade a moment, then lunges at SF, like SF had lunged at her)
SF: *blocks the strike with one arm and wrests the dagger away from Wingblade* *immediately stabs at the young Seeker again, once again stopping just short of actually hurting her*
WB: (instinctively blocks the blade herself, going for it with her other hand)
SF: *could probably fend off Wingblade, but goes a little easy on her and lets her take the blade*
WB: (giggles triumphantly, and "attacks" SF with it again)
SF: *again blocks*
WB: (feints as if to attack one spot, before going at another)
SF: *dodges narrowly and kicks (lightly) at Wingblade's leg* Hey, you're good!
WB: (giggles as she jumps to avoid the kick, using the propulsion from the jump to propell her at Steadfast again) Thanks Mama!
SF: *dodges very narrowly this time, getting a tiny scratch*
WB: (twists to come at SF from the other side, trying out different moves, seeing how easily they're blocked)
SF: *moves faster to dodge and block, now trying to not make it easy for Wingblade*
WB: (instinctively speeds up to match SF, using mostly instinct to guide her in her attacks)
SF: *moves with concentration to keep up with Wingblade* *there are a few more close calls and minor scratches until she wrestles the young Seeker down, again wresting the dagger from her and holding it at Wingblade's neck before letting her go*
WB: (giggles after SF lets her go) That was fun, Mama! :D
SF: *smiles and subspaces the dagger* It was. Now you need to keep practicing. Think your Daddy and Fathy will let you have your own blade?
WB: I hope so! :D ^_^ (hugs SF)
SF: *hugs back, mindful of the sharp wings*
*present*
((*Falls over laughing at the memes!*))
