Ryder mentioned something about Ki Control and stepped outside. On her way she grabbed the clothing Tulip had discarded, before pausing on the porch. Holding the clothes in her hand, the woman began doing something unique to the clothing. Tulip recognized the technique; it was the same thing she’d used against the demon in Hell, when she blew him apart from the inside using raw power. But here it was being used gently. The young hybrid watched and marveled as the older woman gently and tenderly forced the water from the cloth. But, even though it was a show of fine control, the shorter woman could flicked the water from the fabric with a sideways toss. Tulip just didn’t want to damage the clothing. Only a few short moments later, the older soldier tossed all of the clothing, now dry, to Tulip. A small smirk was on the blonde’s face, as she spoke softly but firmly. “Mission accomplished.” Tulip caught the dry clothes and set them on the table in front of her. It kind of irked her how cocky the woman was acting; but the young hybrid had agreed to learn more about fine ki control from the woman standing beside her. Glancing back, Tulip realized Ryder had moved back into the hut. She now held two glasses, before filling both with water from the tap. She held one out to Tulip, before sitting down with the other. “So, tell me Tulip, why did you choose to live here, and why put up with a cave for so long? If you couldn’t build something, couldn’t you buy a cheap capsule house?” “Because all martial artists live in the wilderness while building their strength! Up until two months ago, my cave was perfectly fine. Then some treasure hunters reopened the tunnel with explosives, forcing it open beyond repair. So...the draft is something I gotta live with now. I also stayed with a friend from the Blue Banner Army...but he vanished recently. Gotta figure out what he’s up to these days.” The young hybrid sipped the glass of water, leaning back in her chair. A sudden look of mischief crossed the short woman’s face, before she fell forward in her seat. Looking across the table at Ryder, the hybrid spoke. “You ever see a full-circle rainbow? I can show you one right now; demonstrate that I learned your lesson from earlier on a much-larger scale.” Regardless of Ryder’s response, the young hybrid, towel and all, would walk outside. Ignoring the slight chill of the mist and rain, the short hybrid strolled out into the clearing. Ran was pouring down on her, as her gaze fell on the air far above. Silver energy crackled in the air around the woman, as she lowered one hand in front of her lower abdomen. Gripping her forearm with her other hand, the woman’s emerald gaze fell. The silver energy began building, crackling outwards across the ground. It stopped five meters from the woman, as the muddy earth began sliding outwards from the aura the woman was creating. Sparks began shooting down the woman’s arms, focusing on the hand she held down. Gripping it firmly into a fist, the woman brought her arm back and dropped to one knee. Slamming her fist into the earth, a ripple shot out across the wet ground. It didn’t explode like the forest had. The aura vanished, as did the energy building in the air. Slowly rising to her feet, the woman in her soaked towel turned away. “Three, two, one… activate.” All the energy she’d transferred into the wet earth shot upwards, creating a clear pocket of energy devoid of all water. It created a slight crater in the mud, but the energy shot straight up into the heavens. It pierced the sky above, splitting the clouds and rain to allow a single beam of sunlight to pierce the dark sky. It landed on the woman in her towel, while a circular rainbow appeared far above in the mist and rain that still fell. Flicking a thumb backwards towards the sunlight and rainbow, the hybrid grinned and spoke to Ryder. “See? I can do it too!” As she started to take another step forward, something else occurred. There was one other object in the blast radius of her overwhelming ki that wasn’t designed to handle such exposure. When the hybrid set her hands on her hips and smirked in triumph, her towel exploded from the aura that surrounded the woman. It did so in a spectacular fashion, cloth threads exploding outwards and revealing the woman in her entirety. A look of realization of what had just occurred crossed the shorter woman’s face, before a deep red blush covered her features. Dashing past Ryder into the hut, the woman dressed much faster than she had taken the clothes off, before yanking the blanket off the bed and hiding in the corner next to the bed and wall. “... please kill me; that was too embarrassing.” Her voice trembled slightly, a mixture of embarrassment and sorrow crossing the air.

~ Learned her lesson from earlier… on a much larger scale?~ Ryder pondered, perplexed by Tulips choice of words. A ‘larger scale’ was not at all the lesson being taught. Even if it were used on a larger object, the technique and method would be the same it would only take more time to work through the object’s mass. ~ Larger scale huh, this ought to be good~ she thought, kicking back in her seat and sipping on her water whilst she waited for the show. When she saw the dramatic pose Tulip took and the way she seemed to be gathering vast amounts of energy a smirk appeared on Ryder’s face. She was fairly confident Tulip had enough (albeit perhaps barely enough) control not to blow her house up with whatever chaos she was planning out there in the clearing just past her large garden, though she was a little concerned about the nearby plants. Moments later her feelings were confirmed as Tulip exploded the surrounding sphere of space, detonating it to clear it of water only to also damage the earth… a few square meters of garden… and… Ryder’s towel. Quashing her feelings of irritation at Tulips implication of her property in this rainbow showboating, Ryder’s playful smirk only grew broader as she clapped in applause, slowly at first but building up speed as first the towel exploded into a mix of disembodied threads and powder, and then Tulip ran naked back into Ryder’s home. “Kill you? No, I want to teach you.” Walking over to the corner where Tulip sat, Ryder sat on the bed and gently reached downwards, attempting to grip Tulip’s shoulder reassuringly. “This little exercise right here has shown me clearly that you don’t really know how to control your ki, rather just how to release it. Your first lesson is to practice guiding your ki within your own aura. Release it from your body but don’t let go of it. When you can freely manipulate the ki within your aura, come show me and we can move on to lesson two. “For now, what do you say we catch some shuteye and head in to Blue Banner Army Headquarters for my KAOS recruitment in the morning, Tulip.” OOC: Tags- Tulip Waterfield

“Kill you? No, I want to teach you.” Tulip’s tearful gaze fell as the older woman’s voice reached her. She heard the bed sink behind her and felt a reassuring grip fall on her shoulder. There wasn’t a hint of laughter in the soldier’s voice; Ryder meant what she said in a whole-hearted manner. The shorter woman let the blanket slide off her head as she looked back towards the woman on the bed. Her emerald eyes fell on Ryder’s, waiting for the rest of her speech. After musing for a moment on the words Ryder spoke both about exercise and the next step of the shorter woman’s training, the short hybrid thought sourly. I have plenty of control! It’s just...using aura and ki in such a refined manner is difficult. If she needed me to cut a ship in half or fight a high demon, I could do either! But I can see the woman’s point. Damn it… When the taller woman mentioned sleeping, though, the hybrid’s thoughts immediately shifted. Rising to a standing position, blankets still on her shoulders, the woman grinned at Ryder and spoke cheerfully. “Sounds good! Mind if I join you on the bed?” Before Ryder could agree to Tulip’s request, the girl tossed the blanket onto the bed and sat down next to Ryder. Undoing the buttons to her shorts, she yanked off the article of clothing and tossed it on the floor next to her. Leaning forward, the shorter hybrid grinned up at the taller woman, looking more like a younger sibling than an agent of a powerful organization.

“Wait.. what!?” Before Ryder even had a chance to reply Tulip was already stripping down, exposing her somewhat boyish figure for the third time tonight while grinning up at Ryder. ~ This kid, can it be she’s as lonely as I’ve been in my seclusion? She said she went into the wilderness to 'build up strength as a martial artist' but could it be that in cultivating power she's grown weak of spirit?~ Rising up to her feet, Ryder reached down once more, this time with the instinctive intent to tousle Tulip’s hair. She couldn’t help it with Tulip’s spontaneous actions and that childish grin of hers. At twenty-six with no family in her life, Ryder found herself more vulnerable to a familial bond than she had yet to realize. “You can have the bed Tulip; I will cultivate on the floor tonight.” Making her way over to the empty floor space in-front of her cabinet the woman stripped out of her workout clothing- revealing her own flesh in its entirety- before lowering herself into the lotus position and closing her eyes. “Sleep well Tulip, I’ll make breakfast in the morning.” OOC: tags- Tulip Waterfield

The taller woman smiled at the shorter woman, before rising to her feet. Reaching out with one hand, the older woman ruffled Tulip’s brown hair firmly. The smile remained as she turned away and told the hybrid she could use the bed. Tulip’s gaze followed Ryder as the woman turned away from the brown-haired girl. When the blonde pulled her leather top off, a blush crossed the shorter woman’s face. Before the shorts came off, Tulip rolled over on the bed and yanked the blankets over herself. For one who so easily revealed herself, Tulip had a hard time viewing the older woman’s body. From under the blanket, the younger woman stared at her own chest and pressed her hands against her bottom. Thinking back on Ryder, the blush deepened and the woman rolled onto her stomach. Pressing her face against the small pillow, the woman tried to defuse the embarrassment welling up from deep within. Ryder’s voice broke Tulip from her frenzy, causing the shorter woman to sit up in the mess she’d made of the blankets. “Sounds good, Big Sis!” Tulip grinned cheerfully, before glancing back at Ryder’s relaxed form. Her frown returned with the slight blush, before the woman yanked the blankets back over her head and settled back onto the soft bed. Ah...it’s been forever since I slept in a bed. Feel kind of guilty stealing it from Ryder, but she said it was fine. Her body is on another level, though! I only saw it in the rain and dim light outside, but with her training clothes off...Grr. Hopefully I can find find Alex and ensure he doesn’t fall prey to her feminine wiles. What’s this clinging smell, though? Her thoughts paused, as the woman took another cautionary breath of air. It was a soft but gentle scent, something that filled the woman with a degree of calm and happiness. It was almost the smell of a mother, but not quite. Smiling softly as the warmth and comfort of the small bed lulled the hybrid to slumber, a stray thought crossed her mind. Since I’m an only child...guess I’ll make Ryder my honorary big sister. She’ll be charmed, I’m sure. With that stray thought, Tulip fell asleep, breathing softly in the warm air of the tiny hut.
