Lion and the Ninja (For acuya)

Right, right.... Kozue didn't know Nick.... But the others she listed, they were stars in the eyes of AFW fans. Jay barely saw them and never spoke a word to them. Suddenly, he felt her foot tap him again, just like in their match. He looked over to her. "Im not really the type that can relax that easy...Never really have been. Life's been a struggle. You know?"

"Oh, believe me. I know. LIfe's been a pretty big cluster of fuck for me, too." She flipped off the couch and landed square on both feet, pacing around the couch.

"But that's what makes relaxing so easy. You spend so much time on the highs, you learn to appreciate the lows better. Like when I'm playing games or working out or in the ring? It's just magic. Like the rest of the world melts away, and I love it."

The lion watched in awe and mouth agape when she flipped forward and landed flawlessly on her feet. "I-I wish I could do that...."

"I cant really relax though, like....I never really learned how, you might say..." The closest Jay got to relaxing was his normal full-days of meditation and thoughts of fighting while sitting in trees.

"It's easy. Just like Office Space. You do...nothing. Absolutely. Nothing." She reached on the shelf and pulled off the movie, one of her all-time favorite comedies. "What do you for fun? Like, normal, regular, homo-sapien fun?"

"Normal....Well, I like the arts. Theater, art galleries, things like that." Coming from someone as detached from society as Jay, that was surprising. In his younger years, Jay was shown the arts by his 'friends' Yoshiro and Anampo. "Is that 'normal' for you?" Jay asks, with accompanying air quotes. He sees the movie. "W-W-Whats that?" He shakily asks.

"Not abnormal." She patted his shoulder and sat down on the arm rest, handing him the tape. "And this? This is one of the greatest movies ever made. Take it home with you?"

His face yeilds a light-pink blush when she sat so close to him. He looked at the tape, then at her. Taking the tape in his hand, Jay asks: "U-Um, sure...Why do you want me to take this, may I ask?" He tries to slowly move away from her. Hoping that she didn't see or notice.

She does notice. Seducing Jay isn't even a little in her plans, but she can't help getting a little thrill from seeing him squirm. "Because it's a fun movie and you look like a good laugh wouldn't kill you." She shrugged. "Not everything's got a crazy reason behind it. Just have some fun."

He was starting to slip up from his normal cool. Right now, less words might be better. Jay bit his lip and looked at the tape. He nods. "Right....N-No crazy reasons...."

"Take it easy, man. Nice and easy." She hopped off the couch. "Look, I'm heading out for the evening in a little bit, get a little training in. Not trying to kick you out, but..."
