[Miyabigaoka] Takeuchi Manor

"Yeah, that's what I thought too. All that shit won't be in the way when you have to curl up and run on your palms at full speed like this. That's the next thing, by the way," Shoichi said as he gave a slight push to the Storm Queen's ankles, as if to guide her into such a position before ultimately letting go. "Run around the property, count every window pane, every lawn chair, and every tree around. The number isn't really important, but it should make for a decent route for travel. I'll run with you." As he spoke, Shoichi lowered himself onto his palms as well, doing so with flawless precision as if to imply that this was how he mastered the wind, as well. "This training is all about surface."

"Says this as if I am wearing more than two articles of clothing right now. One of which has already lost like eighty percent of its mass." she said eyes darting in his direction as she curled her legs into her person before having them reach the appropriate level which brought her knees into her chest. "Running around at full speed on my arms, nice... I've totally been skipping arms' day." she said sarcastically. But she was starting to realize why the first generation's Storm Queen had such a balanced figure, it was simply a side-effect of the road she was on. Moving right along, it seemed Shoichi was ready to join her in this part of the endeavor and having already been given a set of guidelines she was more than ready to get started and once they were in the right position she did. Making her way from the pool so she could begin counting window panes assuming of course that the Sky King was either at her side or in front of her not that she was looking at anything other than the house.

The moment Chiyo took off, Shoichi did the same, keeping pace with the young woman as she darted around the property. This was his first time getting a look at the entire house from outside, so he was sure to take in the view of what was now his property. However, his gaze was mostly set on Chiyo herself, and while it was, he inspected her hands each time they made contact with the ground. "You feel it, right? The vacuum phenomenon creating suction between your palm and the ground, almost like your hand doesn't want to separate from it?"

[Apollymi]

While she moved it was taking almost all of her concentration to keep herself up at her current level while counting. Her eyes darting about as she did this, the Sky King's words registered in her head. The thing was she hadn't been actively thinking about what her hands were doing besides moving her about on her palms, after a few seconds more of movement though her eyes widened and she thought about what Shoichi probably meant. "Yeah, I suppose it is kind of hard to pull my hands up like this. I assumed that was because balance... but, you mean it's something else?" she questioned as she continued on. Soon enough they'd be rounding one edge of the property and taking in a different angle of the house where there'd be a continued counting of the windows there. This was an interesting way to do this, and it made her wonder how and why the Sky King had come up with it. If she didn't become too distracted she'd try and remember to ask.

[Bloodedge]

"It's totally something else," he said while continuing to trace Chiyo's movements and keep even with her forward momentum. "Wind manipulation is all about vacuums. If you put two flat objects together, and take the wind out, then you can't separate those two objects anymore. Like I said, this training is all about surface. Surface being the space between your palm and the floor. Surface also being the space between the back of your hand, and the end of the atmosphere. Remember this feeling in your hands, and you'll be able to use those surfaces to your advantage. Let's finish this up, and you'll find out."

[Apollymi]

Hearing out is secondary explanation while she continued to move, Chiyo seemed to be coming to an easy understanding of what the Sky King was getting at. A smile came over her face. "Fuck! That's... really clever.~" she mentioned before her body picked up speed and she continued moving taking a special note to memorize the feelings that her hands had when they made contact with the ground. It would only take a few more minutes, for the Storm Queen to round the corner of the property and eventually end up back at the starting point. Though the numbers weren't of any importance, she knew exactly how many window panes, lawn chairs and trees were now present in their living space. "Next!~" she chimed seemingly amused. She really did like learning new things and this was about the right blend of physical activity and movement that she required not to be bored by something.

[Bloodedge]

Soon enough, the Sky King found himself coming to a stop alongside Chiyo, right back where they had started on this course. When they reached the end, he hopped up into a standing position, grinning due to the apparent amusement of the Storm Queen while raising his right hand to offer a high-five. Of course, if Chiyo were to acquiesce to this, it was very likely that a burst of wind would happen around the pair, due in part to Shoichi's efforts, but in a larger part to the likely adjustments Chiyo's hands had made to creating the necessary effect for wind manipulation. The wind burst would only occur if both requirements were met, and Shoichi's was surely inline to make it happen. "Osu! Looks like those wings are flapping for some real flight now!"

[Apollymi]

The Storm Queen too, righted herself stretching just a bit even in her apparent amusement. The high five offered by Shoichi would be met by Chiyo and much to her own surprise cause a burst of wind around the duo as her right hand met his following that last bit of training. Her eyes widened just a little bit as she stared at her own palm knowing it was the interaction between both of their hands that caused this, and not the Sky King's hand alone. "Uh, that's a little fucking freaky." she said staring at her hand just a few more seconds before shaking off the feeling that something was very strange with her now that she was going to have to cope with. Still she felt surprisingly the development of new and different muscles and now had a reasonable idea of how to change the center of her gravity, which she'd likely find useful. She wondered if these things would all be needed for whatever Shoichi was planning to actually show her next.

[Bloodedge]

"Ya' get used to it," he said as he shifted himself toward Chiyo's rear, where he would lean over to place his head over her left shoulder and look forward. While doing so, he held his left palm out in front of the Storm Queen, pointing it toward a palm tree at the end of the yard, while his right hand rested upon her right shoulder. "The border between air of different densities. That's your target. A basic wind rider can ride on the differential pressure. To take it a step beyond that, you have to create the differential. Then, with a liiiittle bit of a push, you can move the 'surface' of the air. Go ahead." His outward facing palm was simply meant for demonstration, but once he'd finished speaking, Shoichi expected Chiyo to use her own ability to interface with the air. In fact, he even lowered his left hand, and furthermore aimed to use it for the sake of lifting Chiyo's left arm into the same position his held in prior moments.

[Apollymi]

"You've got me getting used to a lot for a single day. Just sayin'." the Storm Queen said as she stood waiting for what was next. And soon enough Shoichi was standing behind her with his head over her left shoulder. Such a thing immediately caused her eyes to flicker towards this young man. And though she was definitely listening to what he was saying, she could mentally admit to being distracted by his proximity. "Create differential pressure, with my hand, and the air.... okay." she repeated the key phrases to let him know she'd been listening, but after she'd gone back to looking forward and seeing the extension of his arm beside her, she realized what he was getting at. As if that wasn't a big enough hint he also aimed to help lift her arm into the proper position which she allowed and she found herself with her left palm out towards this palm tree staring at the wind as it moved around them, after a few moments she seemed to feel alright about it and cause a burst of pressure to leave her palm which would disrupt the air in front of her for a couple dozen meters but not reaching the tree by a reasonable distance. Afterwards the girl looked at her hand as if she was confused by this ability. "What the fuck!?"
