morning - dragonfield

[Life for one doesn't stop when the death of another happens. For a time, things do slow, directions shift, mentalities change and grief sits heavy in the heart, but nothing stops. Even at the end of the world, so long as there were still beings breathing, life never stopped.

And in time, a return to things as "normal" (as normal as they could be anyway) was needed. Rin had already given in to fear of the skyway and her own abilities once before, and she refused to do it again. Nightmares would still haunt her, probably for months or years to come, bleeding in to the memories of Shiro's death. That much she knew, and she accepted that. But she refused to accept any renewed fear of the Skyway.

Colin was right - they couldn't just shy away from what was needed because one life had been tragically cut short.

So Rin would finally be emerging from her apartment on day 169, dressed somewhat more conservative than normal (capri pants and a plain teeshirt), going with Kurikara to the Dragonfield.

Should anyone come across her during this first part of the morning, well... chances are you'll see blue flames first. Why? Rin has the sword out, and is practicing with it alone, trying to get some measure of the level of control she had in Kyoto back. She can't really do this in the training house that Duke set up because of course things would wind up burning, but the Dragonfield works well enough without making a full on trek to the Skyway.

She can be interrupted, just watch out for blue flames being launched about.]

afternoon - kitchen

[Working in the kitchen was finally not so difficult for Rin now. The arm that had broken was healing quickly thanks to her demonic nature, still sore and a bit weak (something she found out during her work out with her sword and flames), but usable once more. She didn't want to return to the kitchen full time just yet, but she did some in for work after noon had rolled around, and once again the familiar scents of her cooking could likely be smelled near the kitchen and a good distance away.]

evening - forge

[When night falls over the Bastion, Rin will make her way not to her apartment from the kitchen, but to the forge. A recent trip to lost and found had her stumbling on a fairly nice blade sharpener. Not that she had any idea how to use it (and it wasn't Kurikara that needed it but her other, non-enchanted blade) but she was sure going to try. Of course Stewart was no where to be found, and she wasn't really willing to go on the hunt for him.

So she sat there, blade across her lap, attempting to sharpen the thing and doing a fairly poor job of it. The cuts on her fingers were indication of that.]
