[Miyabigaoka] Residental District

Chiyo waited and was eventually rewarded with a few words of coherence from the Sky King. A smile formed on the girl's face as he explained his apparent surprise and apologized for some reason. "No idea what you're apologizing for... but, apparently the old look went out and this is the new one~" she said seemingly amused as she began flicked her gaze over the Sky King. "You're staring at me, are you gonna be okay?" she asked seemingly worried. The Sky King wasn't quite as together as he seemed to have been a few moments ago and while she expected the initial shock she didn't really know what to make of his fixed gaze.

"Huh?" he said immediately, shifting his gaze away from the Storm Queen on impulse. "I wasn't staring. The new look is uhh... pretty decent, though," was his reply. Taking a moment, the Sky King wiped the blood from under his nose. When he was quite certain it was gone, he turned to face Chiyo again. "So, tag, huh? And you want me to read movements from that?"

"Sure you aren't~" she said a teasing quality in her voice. "Thank you~" she mentioned of the appreciation of her new look. But she was more than willing to move on to avoid any unnecessary awkwardness and as the Sky King turned back around to face her the blood had been removed form his face so she was more than free carry on. It seemed the next question was about the game they'd be playing and how it would work for him, and his understanding of the exercise wasn't too far off. "Fuck! Yes... that is the general idea. But there's a bit more to it than that." said the girl as her regalia activated for the extended play in the sky. Such would cause the growth of her ATs up her legs, but not cause the destruction of her wardrobe as it had previously. Moving right along she moved up a bit higher. "Reading movements won't be enough." she mentioned as her own slit pupil shrank and the smaller tomoe like ones appeared on their ripples within her eyes over the course of a few seconds. "But it's easier to explain if you try it first. Come on..." she said hovering with open arms. "Tag me."

"Reading's not enough, huh..." Shoichi crossed his arms in a moment of contemplation as he floated upward to match Chiyo's altitude. After the challenge was brought to him, he rotated his shoulders, activated his ocular ability, and mentally prepared himself for the coming game. 'Alright. This is a training thing, right? Probably shouldn't use wind or anything... that feels kinda cheaty,' he thought. Shoichi soon made the decision to go at this with only his own maneuverability, and dashed toward the young Storm Queen with his right hand reaching for her abdominal region.

Chiyo had her eyes on the Sky King as he moved towards her. And she was watching specifically the movements of his muscles. She saw the twitches that would lead to his dash and beyond that the ones which would be the movement of his right hand out to reach for her stomach. As such long before he touched her, Chiyo had already moved and was in fact at his left in a movement that would probably seem miraculous to the Sky King, but was actually just a spin, however flamboyant it might have been. Chiyo was a tiny bit cheeky after this and would ask the Sky King a question from her new position, a giggle escaping her. "Where are you reaching Shoichi?"

The hand of the Sky King closed around the air itself following the miss of his first tag attempt. His eyes shifted left, following the trail of wind left behind by the Storm Queen's movement. Her attitude after this evasion was a bit on the cocky side, but Shoichi met it with a sideways grin. "I'm the fuckin' Sky King. I grab air; it's what I do," he said, though this dodge was a bit outside the realm of possibility. This told the Sky King what Chiyo meant with her earlier words. With an understanding of what he had to do now, Shoichi slapped his cheeks to prepare himself. "Osu! I get it now!" With that, he dashed forward again, not aiming to reach for the Storm Queen, but instead intending to move in her direction until she moved out of the way.

The sideways grin of the Sky King as his eyes shifted towards his left where the Storm Queen now was, would be met by a wink from the young woman who seemed to be feeling a bit playful. "Uh-huh... so... that's just you now? That's how we answer questions..." the Storm Queen said seeming to find this whole thing utterly amusing. Even so it seemed that Shoichi was catching on quite fast and given this Chiyo could have a great deal of faith in his abilities to continue this kind of play to enhance his skills. "Do you?" she asked in a manner most challenging, as the Sky King, seemed to be preparing himself. "Show me." she said as he dashed towards her, since he was coming straight at her, the Storm Queen's eyes had full access to his person, and there was no move in his body to change his forward momentum with that in mind she'd simply launch herself straight backward at the last possible second to avoid allowing Shoichi to run into her, and continue in that direction watching for the slightest movement which would alert her to his next tag attempt.

"Hai hai," Shoichi said while retaining a grin. Even knowing what he was expected to do, and how ridiculous a feat it was to accomplish, there was one crucial fact about Shoichi. If nothing else, he had always been quick to develop, be it due to his abilities as a Brain Charger, his own innate potential, or some combination of the two. So, even if he wasn't immediately capable of seeing into the future of Chiyo's movements, a mere understanding of his goal led to the young man advancing to heightened perception in real time. Chiyo slid back during his approach, and in that very moment, he forced the continuation of his forward movement. "That's a shame. I thought you'd stopped running from me."

In their play in the sky, Chiyo noted the reactions of the Sky King's body. It was a bit staggering to see someone adjust so quickly to something so new. But Chiyo had always been impressed by the Sky King's potential. "Sugoi!~" she complimented. Even so, the follow through on his forward momentum when she moved back would give the girl the notice that she needed to arc her movements so she did to the right which would she would aim to have lead her in a wider arc around the Sky King. His commentary about her running from him would make her eyes widen as she allowed the arc to carry her around his person in her circling pattern. "Please. I'm not running from you..." she said with a cheeky smirk. "I'd be on the ground if I was going to run. I'm just waiting for you to tag me!~"

"Yeah, you can say that. Still looks like running," he replied. Chiyo continued to move away, now in an arc. His eyes followed this shift until his head needed to turn, at which point he spun around and shifted his momentum in the direction of Chiyo's current location in almost no time at all. "I'll tag ya' when I'm ready. Next time I reach out, that ass is mine."
