Tynan Ireton has posed:
    Well, Ty has ben away on some work for awhile. She recently returned, and was looking around for either imps to 'heal', or Satana to learn some new runes. The woman mutters as it seems that everyone isn't home right now. For the moment, the woman decides to sit down, and read a cheesy romance novel. There's nobody around to catch her!

    Ty blushes a bit as she reads the novel a bit, and then giggles a little bit. She stretches out as she reads, before laying down on a couch, letting her feet hang off the end. Her phone starts to ring, causing the woman to sigh. After a few more rings, she makes it disappear into another dimension for now...Cheese novel time! No work on Christmas!

Saeko has posed:
Christmas hadn't really been a 'thing' for Saeko during much of her time on Earth in the past, but it had certainly become an entertainly learning experience for the Fox. A sudden shift in the air, a little change of scent and...there was fried chicken in the air. Suddenly, Saeko the vixen wrapped in what appeared to be her usual yukata...but with a bucket of food held in her hand.

Apparently, this was how a lot of people in the homeland of her worshipers often celebrated Christmas...or at least that was what she had to go by given the offerings she'd recieved today!

Tynan Ireton has posed:
    Ty blinks a few times as she sniffs the air. Chicken? "Umm, which imp is using Satana's credit cards again?", she asks. The woman gets up, and looks back at Saeko. "You got bird?", she asks. Ty gets up, and walks over to Saeko, and looks at the Chicken. "How long was that sitting out before you got to it?", she asks. Mostly to be safe. She is human, and rather not have to heal her stomach of food poisoning...

Saeko has posed:
"Not very long," Saeko muses, a smile on her features as she looks over the meal and then tilts her head. "It was...a strange offering, one I had not seen before, so I went to answer very quickly." Her delivate hand reaches in, fishing for a drumstick and then grinning. "It is still quite hot, so that is a good sign, no?"

Tynan Ireton has posed:
    Ty nods her head a bit. "Usually a good sign.", she says. The woman takes a moment to look at the chicken before pausing. "Ummm, will bad things happen if I eat an offering?", she asks. Saeko might notice...There's no shades around Ty at the moment. "And why are you eating fried chicken? I didn't think that counted as an offering.", she comments.

Saeko has posed:
"Only if you try it before I do," Saeko grins, a little wink from the fox leaving it entirely unclear if she was joking or not. None the less there's a bite, a little noise of suprise from the vixen before she lounges back and shrugs her shoulders. "Apparently this is quite common in Japan now, a means of celebrating this holiday 'Christmas'. I do not know exactly why, but someone offered some of the food to ask for Inari's blessing."

What that blessing was? It didn't seem important, instead there's another bite before she looks back to Ty. "What have you been doing Tynan?"

Tynan Ireton has posed:
    Ty nods her head, and then takes a wing, and starts to eat. She snerks a little bit as she stretches a little bit. "I had a demo job for the Russians. Simple enough, just took a few days to set up.", she tells. The woman takes a couple more bites, starting to scarf it down. "I forgot what food is like...", she mutters. "Other then that, just been studying. The Book is tied behind some mantra bindings.", she tells.

Saeko has posed:
"A demo job?" she repeats as she tosses aside her chicken bone, the 'leftover' erupting in ghostly blue flame as it's erased from existance before it touches down on the ground. "More of Satana's lessons?" she questions lightly before tilting her head to the side. "The last time I was with you when you handled the book it seemed...a difficult experience."

Tynan Ireton has posed:
    "Somebody wanted something to be blown up, so they called me to do it.", she tells. The woman watches as the chicken bone gets nuked on the way down. She mutters about not being able to do that. "Well, Satana taught me how to do salt circles. As well as how to enchant the salt for the circle.", she tells. THe woman looks at her chicken bone, and sighs. "As for the book, when I'm in the circle, it seems fine. Outside of it, its...weird.", she says.

Saeko has posed:
"Interesting," Saeko muses, making to stand and stretching out, a long and languid movement followed by her tails before she looks back. "You know, I have never even tried any of her magics for myself, nor anything such as your book, but that you require such warding to practice must mean you have plenty of potential, or the book is extremely potent. Perhaps both?"

Tynan Ireton has posed:
    Ty shakes her head. "I don't think I got that much talent. One of the shades said it was my mutant power that they want.", she tells. The woman reaches over, and takes another piece of chicken. "I only know like a handful of spells as is.", she tells. Ty sighs a bit as she looks for an imp. "I mean, my main skills are always going to be my training. Magic still seems like a pipe dream, as I'm having so much trouble just learning basics."

Saeko has posed:
"You must remember pace, like I said last time. Beings like Satana or myself are poor measurements to compare to. I am born from Magic, Satana is a demon. But magic is something you could certainly gain skill in with practice." A little turn on the spot, Saeko's form shifts, now herself looking like a normal (albeit no less beautiful) human woman, her tails hidden away along with those foxy ears and whisker marks.

"You don't have to be a river to find rain drops after all!"

Tynan Ireton has posed:
    Ty nods her head a little bit as she finishes the chicken. "Oh, that I know. I started training to be a merc when I was young.", she tells. The woman sighs a bit though. "Just feels like everyone I meet that has magic has been doing it for so long that they think I'm more or less a joke. That or I'm some weak little kid who can't be of any use.", Ty mutters.

Saeko has posed:
"I have never held a firearm in my life," Saeko speaks lightly, sitting herself down once more. "I understand many mysteries, but I do not know the workings of your explosives or the science behind them any more than a lay person. I can utilize plenty of technology because it is designed to be easy to use. Your knowledge and skill is far from useless..."

A beat, she reaches out, grasping Ty's wrist and moving herself closer to rest it lightly against her upper chest. To feel her heartbeat.

"Let me show you something. Teach you a 'trick'."

Tynan Ireton has posed:
    Ty squeaks, and blushes horribly as her hand is grabbed, and placed. She coughs a little bit, before settling down a little bit. "O-ok.", she says. The woman takes a deep breath, and tries to relax a bit as she focuses. The woman clears her mind a bit, listening to what Saeko says while keeping her mind fresh. "You might of wanted to wipe your hands or mine first though.", she says, blushing a bit. Fried chicken is kinda greasy...

Saeko has posed:
A little quirk of amusement on her lips, Saeko's hand keeps Tynan's in place as they'd be left to feal her heartbeat. "That...is life, your or me. Life, existance, almost all of it is energy and it creates an energy in itself. It remains within you, but you can also feel that it is around you. Learning to shape it, to draw on it? That is at the heart of some of the magics I can teach you."

A pause, she tilts her head. "Do you understand?"

Tynan Ireton has posed:
    Ty nods her head a little bit. She takes a deep breath. "Its just another form of energy, right?", she asks. The woman is still blushing a little bit, but takes a deep breath. As the woman breathes, she tries to focus on whats around her. Ty stretches her shoulders a little bit, and wonders just how to draw it into her. Most of the magics she's used is the use of circles, or pulling her energy. Not whats around her.

Saeko has posed:
"It is," Saeko speaks, her voice still soft as the contact maintains and she lifts her hands. "Now...this takes practice for most, but it does come naturally to my kind. An illusion is simply something that is 'not', that you want the world to see. Starting small...you draw that energy towards yourself, focus on it...and focus on what you will. If you can convince the energy, convince yourself...?"

A small flower springs into existance, blooming in the palm of her hand. "You can fool reality itself."

Tynan Ireton has posed:
    Ty blinks a little bit as she sees the flower. She rubs her eyes a little bit. The woman takes a deep breath. Ty tries to focus creating a super cheesy romance novel she saw the other day. The woman focuses her mind.

    She starts to gather tiny bits. Very tiny. Saeko would notice that Ty's eyes start to change a little bit to how Saeko's fox eyes look. Her clothing takes a faint yukata like appearnce, and there may or may not be a aura of fox tails. After a few seconds, her focus drops, as she's covered in sweat. The woman breathes heavily.

Saeko has posed:
"A wonderful start!" Saeko exclaims, bringing her hands together and letting the flower disperse with a smile. "As you gain practice, you'll find the line between illusion and reality can blur so much, there is not so great a difference between fooling something with a trick and doing it for real. At least, when it comes to more simple spells."

Tynan Ireton has posed:
    "I don't know...I was trying to create an illusion of a romance novel, and couldn't do it.", she says. Ty takes a breath, and sighs. "I mean, it felt different then trying to impose my will on something.", she says. The woman looks around a little bit, and then looks down. "...Ummm, is this a trace of a yukata?", she asks. The woman looks behind her, and turns bright red at the tails! "Umm, tails?!", she asks. Ty is used to having a tail when she uses Satana's style, but Saeko's comes with more then one tail!

Saeko has posed:
"That is...a strange side effect."

It really was, most practitioners of anything approaching what some called 'fox magic' didn't exactly start turning into Kitsune after all. Not to mention the fact it took quite a few years for more than one tail to appear on a kitsune, at least by human standards. "This is...an aspect of your mutation? I do recall you taking on demonic traits when you utilized demonic magics but...I thought that might be normal, having never tried to use power like Satana's before."

Tynan Ireton has posed:
    Tynan shrugs her shoulders. "I don't know. Most mutants don't exactly use magic. Or magic is part of their mutation.", she says. The woman is still blushing a little bit. "I mean, there's Satana's appearence, and then when I use what I was taught before you guys, I have a druid cloak that drapes over me.", she tells.

    The woman bites her lip a little bit. "It seems whatever style I use, I take an appearence of who taught me, I guess? Or is it more of the style of energy?", she wonders...

Saeko has posed:
"How very interesting," Saeko speaks, stepping around the other woman lightly with her food now apparently forgotten. "I wonder if it would allow you to utilize some of my abilities that a normal practitioner would not, or if it is mearly a projection and representation." A shrug of her partially bare shoulders, the Tenko smiles lightly.

"Keep the lesson to heart, who knows. It might just be useful to you."

Tynan Ireton has posed:
    Ty shrugs her shoulders. "I don't know. I mean, I havn't tried using soulfire that Satana uses. We could always try something.", she tells. The woman stretches out, and the appearence seems to fade away. "I mean, I don't know what is considered generic magics.", she tells.

Saeko has posed:
"Perhaps with Satana present," Saeko muses, lazily drawing her hand upwards as blue light flickers through her and her palm fills with that glowing 'Kitsunebi' flame, her own 'Soul fire' that her kind was famous for, the manifestation of pure magic. "Just because it looks similar does not mean that I would know have her Soul fire works."

Tynan Ireton has posed:
    Ty nods her head a bit. "I mean, I could try to do that blue fireball thing, but I don't know if I got the skill to try to mess with elements.", she tells. The woman takes a deep breath, and focuses a bit. She starts to change a little bit, and holds her hand up. As she focuses, a wisp comes up, and a tiny little ball starts to form. However...Saeko would quickly notice...its not a kitsunbi flame. Its an illusion of one...

Saeko has posed:
"It is not simply blue fire..." Saeko begins, pausing a little as Tynan manifests the illusion of the flame and shaking her head lightly. "It is perhaps not something to attempt, at least for a while. It is natural to kitsune, but also requires practice and focus. We are not war-like creatures by nature, sages perhaps, tricksters definately, but Kitsunebi is used to defend ourselves. In the hands of an older fox, it can be very dangerous."

Tynan Ireton has posed:
    Ty nods her head a bit as she looks down. She tries something. The woman can't really flick her tails. "I was just trying to see if I could mimic your....Mimic....Thats whats going on. My dimension and relfex powers must be trying to use energy and mimic at the same time.", she says. The woman blushes a little bit. "I think...", she says.
