Give her a ounce of free time and Beatrix would most likely head to a place where she could either train, honing her skills, or drink in large quantities until she could train. It was rare indeed that she ever had time to get out of the barracks and train in the militant courtyard of the palace - they had the best equipment and it was hardly used save for the few guards that she might pass, or even more likely, a prince. Yu had his own training facility, but without an invite (or a drink for that matter) she would refrain from storming inside and wrecking havoc.

Her hands were at eve level, elbows bent as both meta and flesh met a round punching ball, hands curled into ready fists. Bandaged covered her hands, knuckles protected as she slammed all her speed and force into the bag, trying to test the boundaries of her limits. A bead of sweat trickled from her brow to her chin before traveling down and becoming lost in her ample bosom, her frame swinging with each hit.

She had lost count of the amount of times she had punched it, or how long she had been there, perhaps a couple hours. It was still early in the afternoon and had gotten there late morning after waking up with a rousing headache, but all pain was forgotten when she threw herself into training, making her all that more determined to push through the hangover itself.

She paused, lifting up a leg to smash the bag into a spiral. The kick soared forward, knocking it back, and that's when BB decided to take a breather. She didn't need to pass out when she was sober, after all. "Whew!" She cawed with contentment as her chest heaved in breaths of much needed air. "Not bad, not bad." She huffed at her efforts. Straightening, she headed for the edge of the courtyard to grab a towel, her current frame only dressed in a training bra and shorts, as well as the bandages on her head, ankles, and wrists. And the prosthetic arm was a big eyesore, however, that didn't bother her.

She patted down her neck, curling the towel over her shoulders before sitting on a nearby bench, sprawling out her legs.

The life of a prince was so boring, so tedious... The customs, the formalities, the responsibilities... they all put quite the weight on Sun's shoulders. The heir to the throne slowly traversed the empty hallways of the Kou palace as a light sigh escaped from his lips. He had been home for one day and already he was ready to jump out of one of the open windows. He loved his people, he loved his land... but he hated his father and everything that the throne stood for. Sun just wanted to be free of it all, capable of traveling to distant lands without the order of his father.

Snapping out of his heavy thinking, the eldest prince would let out a light sigh. He needed something to get his mind off of the day, he needed to either talk to someone, travel, or beat the hell out of an inanimate object. Turning on his heels at the intersection of a hallway, Sun would realize exactly where he needed to be, where he should have been the entire time... the training grounds. Seeing all of his old friends would surely put a smile on his face, hell maybe he could even spar with some of them.

"Yeah, this seems like a great plan!" the prince would exclaim as an eager grin took over his face. Quickening his pace, Sun would begin to sprint through the maze of hallways in as his adrenaline started to kick in. Narrowly weaving in and out of the people who occupied his path, he would catch a few disgruntled expressions along the way. Sun could care less, the only perk of being royalty would be that his family owned the castle... "Coming through!" he would shout, darting to the left to avoid another chamber maiden.

Feeling that he was gaining ground, the prince would begin to take off his jacket and shirt while retaining his weapon. Bursting through the doors of the training grounds, he would shout "OKAY YOU BASTARDS, I'M BACK TO KICK ALL OF YOUR ASSES!" His expression immediately changed from one of anticipation to one of shock. No men were here, only a single woman with...massive breasts. Sun would fall over to the side, his face going blank and his eye beginning to twitch.

She had just patted down her face when she heard footsteps fast approaching the courtyard. It was a beautiful day and save for the sounds of birds above, they training yard was silent and now she was left to wonder who exactly could be as excited as her to train. She straightened, preparing herself for whoever appeared in front of her, guns blazing. It was the words used that made BB's head tilt with curiosity, a frequent trait when the woman was easily amused.

Not only did the words ring a bell, but also to who it belonged to. Could that be...? "Lite Bright?" She asked, using her own nickname for the eldest prince. Bea wasn't much of a person to observe rank if that rank wasn't in the military, and knowing the prince only made her that much calloused towards calling him by his real name. Sun's name suited the bright and lively fellow, but it wasn't fun to say. So she fixed it.

At his burst onto the scene Beatrix had launched herself from her seat, discarding the towel upon the ground as she leaped to her feet and prepared to take on the prince head on, encouraged by his words. However, she should have known that he wasn't expecting her, but...Her expression turned from excitement to annoyance to a cocky smirk, lowering her metal arm as she stood over the seemingly lifeless prince.

"Haha, so the great prince falls." She teased, winking at him with dark stormy eyes.She leaned in closer, a hand on her hip while her foot reached out to rest upon the male's chest. "Does this mean I win?" Throwing her head back in a hearty chuckle, she tossed her head like a spirited mare.

Sun's head would violently shake from left to right as the trance he was in faded. Looking up from the ground, his vision was a bit hazy. "Who the hell are y-" he would cut off as his vision faded in. The prince's crimson hued eyes would immediately lock onto the face of his attacker... the one with the massive mammaries. "Is that... Bea?" he would inquire as his head popped up a bit off of the ground. Sun hadn't seen her in quite a while and her new physique was rather shocking.

Now knowing who he was dealing with and seeing her cocky cackle, a childish grin would slide over Sun's face. Quickly springing into motion, the prince would simply send one well placed kick to the center of her back which combined with a push from his hands would allow Sun to slide free of her grasp. Quickly rising to his feet, the prince would snicker a bit as he looked over towards his childhood friend. "Still the same I see... always thinking you've won and leaving yourself open to attack." This of course was said while she had his back to him so that Sun was not influenced by her breasts. "You sure have changed a lot... the last time I saw you, you were just a scrawny little girl and now look at you!"

Turning from Bea, Sun would stride to the entrance of the training area and hunch over to grab his clothes. He didn't want any rumors to get started about one of the princes being half naked in the courtyard. Latching onto his robe, Sun would sling his arm through it before doing the same with the other side. Sliding his miniature staff back into the proper slot, he would then turn to look back to Bea. "So, did you settle down and marry my brother yet? I know the two of you have always had a thing." The same could be said of both brothers, Sun also having a slight crush on the girl during his younger years, but alas... that was Yu's territory now. Sun had taken the run away from home route and it would seem that the empire had changed a lot during his time gone.

Man, this guy was too comical. Surely they hadn't seen each other for that long did they? Normally Bea was too busy with her own devices to worry about how much time had gone by, certainly not enough to wonder just how the princes had turned out. Sure she saw them come routine barracks inspections, but pleasantries were beyond her - well, besides their childhood romps. Ha, such good memories, back when the empire hadn't become her life, and starting her career as a bounty hunter for Kou.

Well, that all ended once she got older and more...ahem, feminine. Turned out, the Emperor didn't just have eyes for chamber maids and captured women from warring towns or those from the colonies. After a couple close calls, she was pulled away from the royalty and the princes until she could look after herself. Even now she had to be careful who saw her at the palace. Nasty old emperor Kou couldn't lay a hand on her now!

Snickering, she replied. "The one and only, Lite Bright." She would soon move her foot away from his chest, her show of dominance clear on her face before the little prince decided to react - her smile was put on pause, eyes wide as she recoiled back, a moment too late. She was pushed aside, only to regain her balance with a little twirl, hair panning out around her as she recovered. "Humph! I haven't changed so much, Sunny, you've changed more than me." She gave a sniff, amused at his outburst before he dipped down to scoop u his clothing.

The woman gave him a tight lipped smirk, stepping towards him with both hands crossing over his ample chest. "Ooh, scandalous. Wouldn't want anyone to see you half naked with a lieutenant, now, would they?" She had leaned over and whispered into his ear before giving a giggle. But as if a nerve had been struck, she waved her metal hand dismissively. "Your brother? Of course we never had a thing!" Hotheaded and easily angered, he would do best not to toy with her emotions.

Backing away, she readied her hands, feet in a fighting stance. "And by the way, I didn't come here to have small talk - I came to train. So put up yo' dukes!"

She still had that nickname for him after all these years. Sun was tormented by Beatrix when the two were younger, she would constantly pull on his hair and call him that name repeatedly. Sun would merely let it slide, by now being more mature than he was when the two were children... hopefully.

"You surely didn't have those two things hanging off of your chest the last time I saw you?" he would begin as he snickered once more. Just having put away his staff, he would draw it once more as he looked over to Beatrix. "Oh, so you two haven't settled down then? Be careful, he is younger than us you know..." Sun couldn't help himself at this point, it seemed that Yu was one of Bea's buttons... and everyone knew how famous Sun was for pushing people's buttons... "You might crush his fragile little body with those massive things!" he would chuckle.

A wave of seriousness would flash over his face suddenly. "Grow, Yeo Ui.." Sun would mumble as his staff extended to ten feet in total length. Twirling the weapon in front of his body, the prince would wrap his arm around the midsection of the weapon as he held the tool to his side while pressing it against his back. "You know he's going to be emperor some day, wouldn't you love to be his queen?" With another snicker, Sun would roll his neck to the side as a distinct pop resonated. He would then stare into Beatrix's eyes as all emotion seemed to be swept from his face. This was what he needed... to clear his head of all the bullshit that had accumulated over the past 24 hours. Sun could finally be himself now, letting go of all his formalities, all his manners, all of his responsibilities and just... fight. It would appear as though he was a completely different person

"Come on then, show me how strong you've gotten. Let's see if you can protect little Yu."

Button presser or not, Bea would smash those buttons back into oblivion. Teach that child not to mess with her like she had taught him time and time again wrestling in the gardens. She grinned a lopsided, smug grin. She quite enjoyed competitions where she could show off her skills and brag about her experiences - something the princes could never understand cooped up in palace. She understood that royalty had some perks, but loafing around in a castle never appealed to her.

Queen or not she'd be at the front lines.

She watched as he produced the rod from before, but then...it grew to a length that would rival her own metallic arm, and she gave a whirling huff of laughter. "So you're a grower, not a shower?" She chuckled jokingly. "I guess you can say I am too." The arm flashed at her side, Cain's arm glinting with a savage lifelike wink. The arm creaked, extending and shifting its gears until it also lengthened to about ten feet, a sharp point resembling a sword.

A complete and natural extension of her arm and dangerous. "Queen? Nah, that shit ain't for me. You royals are wack."

Yu. Prince Dandy. A growl rose from her chest, rising into her throat and seeping through her lips. She brandished the unearthy blade and began to circle her foe, eyes alight.

Well, he was hoping that all of his annoying comments would have gotten her to attack first but it would seem that he was wrong. Oh well? Smirking a bit, Sun would shake his head from side to side as a single chuckle escaped from his lips. Their distance looked to be about... fifteen feet apart, perfect. The prince would have to start out simple as he didn't know the extent of Bea's abilities. It looked as through her arm was obviously capable of transformation, so he would need to keep some distance between the two until he was capable of deciphering that arm. The blade was obvious and easy to counter but hopefully there wasn't a trump card lingering within its' core.

Simply bringing his staff down by his side, the prince would the butt of the weapon flat on the ground as the size staff shrunk two feet in length. Sun would thrust the weapon upward, allowing his hand to slide over the tool as it rose into the air before finally grabbing hold of it at the base. Swinging the tool with his right hand in a diagonal motion across his torso, the staff would extend out an additional fifteen feet from the tip, aiming to smash into the left side of Bea's body (aimed at armpit height and sweeping across her body diagonally). The prince was more than interested to see how she would react to this attack.

Bea was a being ruled by her emotions, but experience ruled her as a cunning, fierce fighter for the Empire, much like Sun, but she had the odds stacked against her from day one, which guaranteed her success in the courtyard today. From birth she was destined to have a much different life from them, then having her arm brutally ripped from her socket by a monster on one of her first dangerous missions. She had been foolish then, but she wouldn't fall so easily to this prince, at least...not in that manner of speaking.

Someone had to attack first, and the light headed prince obliged. It was foolish to attack first when one could try to gain an upper hand, even though his words could have roused her into a state of rage. Luckily for him, she had not prepped for this fight, drink wise. She was as dry as a desert, but the woman only grinned as she observed his actions, flipping ahead his spear that only grew in length.

By that time her body was already tensed for motion, and tipping her sword arm into the ground, launched herself into the air. She soared briefly, barely clearing the weapon as it swung in its horizontal path before she landed, crouched and ready for an assault of her own. Smaller and nimble, she threw her weight into a roll, arm clanking against the ground before swinging in a wide arch towards Sun's ankles, hoping to knock him off balance where she would pop up and overwhelm him with a flurry of sword swipes.

"You haven't learned anything..." Sun would mutter with a disgruntled look as he would watch Beatrix dodge his attack. As expected, she went with a linear movement to close the gap. The prince had seen this move used countless times while fighting with Yeo Ui, people merely assumed that if they got within the range of his weapon that they could beat him but this was simply not the case.

The moment that his opponent had lunged over the weapon, Sun would begin to recall the lengths of the tool. Every move that Sun had made was calculated, from the distance between the two, the angle of his attack, even the placement of his hand. He would of course take a risk in judging the girl's speed, but Sun's confidence in his weapon was pretty solid. As the weapon shrunk at a drastic rate to it's normal 8 foot length, still standing solid on both feet, the prince would simply lunge four feet over and past the woman as she rolled and attacked where his ankles would be. In unison with this jump, Sun would be placing both hands on the tool, bringing his weapon up before slamming the bottom of the staff into her back midair. Landing a few ten eight feet behind her, he would turn with a slight skid and prepare for what was to come next. "Another Linear attack?" he would inquire with a quick smirk.

A spar was a test to see how your opponent had been progressing, and judging by his counter, Trixy knew that his training hadn't fallen on deaf ears and heavy arms. She didn't know how he was like in politics, but his attitude hardly differed from the boy she had managed to beat up when they were younger, tangled in fist fights. She had teased both princes mercilessly, but jealously was the cause for these bottled up feelings. As princes they were entitled to whatever in the empire, the best training, the best food, living areas. Hell, Bea was lucky to snag a bed in the crowded barracks unless she socked some poor guy right in the face.

His toy was something new, and right when she leaped up to swing a quick strike towards the light haired male she knew that he was taking this matter seriously. Of course, his weapon was a great asset to him, but it was no Arm of Cain. The mandible whirled, suddenly catching her forward in an abrupt motion as if not on her own will - her weapon knew some sort of sentience, and it had sensed the magical aura of the staff before it could strike back.

The force of the halt forced her forward, knocking some breath from her lungs, but then her joints loosened and she leaped to the side much like Sun had, hunched forward and awaiting the prince to make his own move. She grinned, bobbing as her chest followed with a hypnotic rhythm, up and down, u and down. She was preparing her next action, and this time, it wouldn't be much of a predictable shot, not when Cain's Arm was involved as well.

"Eh, I've seen better. Your staff doesn't seem to have the appeal of my arm - nor does it look as cool, bro."

"You want to see it all then!?" Sun would shout as a new personality visibly was worn on his face. His tone was frantic and eager his eyes widened, grin broadening and teeth gritting. Several pops could be heard from his fingers as the grip on his weapon greatly intensified. This was that side of Sun that came out when he began to take things seriously, that kill or be killed notion that he would accidentally slip into from time to time while sparring. Lunging forward off of his right foot, the boy's body would soar forward. In that split second of movement, he would be lost within his own thoughts.

"What the hell am I doing?" he would mentally ask himself. "This is one of my friends... why would I want to kill her... this is Bea..." That instant would pass and he would regain his composure, allowing his foot do drag against the ground to slow his lunge. Now turning on his back, the prince would slide across the ground with his staff held up parallel to his chest as a wide smile slid across his face.

"I don't want to kill you, Bea." These words would be accompanied by a slight chuckle as he slid to a stop right in front of her feet. "I"m tired of fighting, why don't we just talk for now? I haven't really spoken to you in months if not years... I miss you, can't we just catch up?"

With the staff still held up above his chest, he would stare up into her eyes and snicker a bit, simply laying on the ground waiting for an answer. "Sorry I got on your case, you know how I get."

Bea's eyes furrowed darkly, her amusement slowly transforming into a near sadistic wryness. "Oh, Princy, show it all to me!" She echoed his own question with a cackle, chest bouncing with excitement. It was about to be a throw down and Bea would quake her way towards the white haired male. It seemed not like she was fighting her old friend Prince Lite Bright, but rather an enemy. She often lost herself in spars, herself being entire competitive.

Rarely was it ever for the sake of fighting, but for perfecting herself into a win all the time. She would have trouble sometimes, sorting her actions.

She had also thrown herself into a maneuver, hoping to run perpendicular to his frame once a flank was exposed, but brought herself to a halt mid way much like Sun had done a moment before. She slid by cautiously unsure if he was sincere, but, almost reluctantly, Cain's Arm seemed to shutter, returning to its previous armlike form before she flexed her fingers, staring at them intently.

She gave a chuckle, toppling over right beside his shoulder. "Heh, I'm sure I'll get back at you somehow..." She snickered, before her real hand reached out over his head and rolling her hand into a fist. Knuckles down, she scrapped them against his scalp, a few rough, affectionate rubs before letting go, heaving a sigh that shook her chest before turning towards him.

"So what's been going on with you?"

Sun would shimmy his body his body across the ground and over to Bea's thighs. Resting his head on top of her legs, he would smile a bit and close his eyes. This reminded him of his childhood more than anything he had experienced lately. The warmth and light cushion of her thigh would force the prince to angle his head to the left, nuzzling his cheek into her leg momentarily as he gained a bit more comfort. Flashes of their past would play in Sun's mind, the two sitting in this exact pattern under a large oak tree in the forest.

"I've been out an and about... you know me. I can't stand to be here." He would let out a light yawn as his eyes remained closed. "Father sent me out for some diplomatic meetings among other things so it had been my guard and I scouring the land." The prince's eyes would slowly open as he stared off into the distance. "It's been a bit lonely though. It's been nice being back and seeing everyone... I guess a lot has changed since I've been gone."

Closing his eyes once more, Sun would enjoy the moment of laziness. The prince didn't care who saw the two at this point, he was just content where he was. All of the stress pent up in the prince's mind seemed to just flow out freely. It seemed as though he was finally at peace for the first time in a while. Another smile would form on his face as he chuckled lightly. "Where are my manners, how have you been, Bea?"

[Beatrix Harper]

Sitting up, torso erect while legs unfolding out in front of her, she would watch as Sun inched his way over to the comfortable curves of her body. It felt only natural to allow him to settle upon her, rubbing his tan cheek into the paleness of her thigh. She looked down upon him, her stormy dark blue orbs becoming a bit less so, a rare softening as she stared at her childhood friend back when she used to pick on the rowdy boys in the palace.

"Out and about? No wonder you're so goddamn tan." She gave a chuckle, allowing her voice to lift into the air harmoniously, as if they had never begun to fight moments before although she knew the strongest bonds were made in a bunker. This rare peaceful reprieve allowed her smile to grow, soften out the crooked ends as she listened to him, albeit a bit distractedly; he had surely grown into a good looking fella since they last saw each other.

Not even the threat of the emperor spying on them himself would sway her from resting her actual arm across his shoulder. "Most obvious thing would be the arm, but you know that. Not much has changed - I've been stuck inside the empire mostly, having a good time. Recently got a promotion to lieutenant. Not bad, if I say so myself. Hey, Sunny..." She rested her gaze upon him, winking at him mischievously.

" Let's ditch this place and head to the bars. Whatcha say?"
