[Anyone out near the edge of the woods will find Jenny throwing her knives at a tree. Her usual smiling face has been replaced by a more serious one for once as if something is on her mind, and instead of practicing, she seems to be taking everything out on the tree she's throwing her knives at. Go ahead, feel free to poke her.]

[flies pass and comes for a closer look]

Wow! You're good.

[Mizuki is...watching from a distance. She's found her guy clothes, and was walking around. But this catches her attention!]

[Rydia is returning from a bout of hiking around the woods, and she's about to head back into town when she hears not-so-distant thuds of something striking wood. Curious but wary, she follows the sound of the noise and pauses to watch for the moment.]

[Well, she's not surprised, but you certainly distracted her, though she still doesn't sound or look nearly as perky and happy as she usually is.]

Thanks.

[She notices you there Mizuki, but she's going to pretend she doesn't and keep throwing her knives for now.]

[Well, she's a little distracted by her knife throwing at the moment, but she'll still be noting that Rydia is there. Though Rydia might have to speak up in order for Jenny to say anything to her.]

[And Mizuki will just be watching until she's done. Distracting someone with sharp objects is never a good thing, and...this is a bit interesting!]

[Okay. Well she's going to keep throwing her knives until she runs out, and they're all in the tree, and then she'll walk up to the tree to remove them; placing them all back in their respective places.]

You can come over now if you'd like.

[We've been spotted! She'll walk over fairly slowly.]

You're pretty good.

[She puts on a little smile now, though it's a bit forced. Of course, only someone who knew her really well would notice that it was.]

Thanks.

[Can't tell it's forced at all, so have a smile back!]

But..aren't there any targets here besides trees?

There are, but I don't really feel like using them for the moment.

...Can I ask why?

...I suppose it's because my mind has been a bit distracted lately.

Oh. [Won't ask any further...]

[She doesn't mind that.]

So, have you been settling in well?

Kind of...it's a little hard to get used to this place.

[For a long moment, Rydia just watches. She can't help but recognize the woman's air of needing to be distracted, having been in much the same mood not too long ago. She remains a few paces away, not wanting to get too close considering the knife practice involved. Her tone is curious rather than judgmental.]

I'm not sure whether to call that dedication or tree abuse...but you have a nice aim.

You're still new here, so it'll take a bit of time.

[Well, that pulled Jenny back to being her old self a bit.]

In this case, it might be more like tree abuse.

How long normally?

I've told you, it's different for each person. For me, the most difficult part was learning to settle down since I like to travel. It's in my blood after all.

Oh...I guess I'll just need to get used to not going to school everyday.

Well, if you're interested, there is a school around here.

..What do they teach there?
