Lee Sin laid there, his head seemingly "looking" up at the ceiling. "When you walked into my monastery today I was not expecting this to happen. Not saying that it's a bad thing, quite a good thing actually, it's been awhile since I've drank and honestly, I can't think of anyone I would rather drink with now other than you. It's been a long time since I've had fun, thank you for helping have some." Lee Sin's voice was sincere although his words were slurred at times, Skylark would still be able to understand what he said.
His smile still remained plastered on his face, and he spoke again to Skylark. "Anything you would like to do now?" He asked in a mischievous tone, at this point the monk would do just about anything, his right from wrong was so blurred and he was having too much fun to care anyways.
Sky snickered as she'd grab a random scrap of paper, balling it up to toss at Lee playfully, "I don't think I could even stand at this point." Looking sheepishly towards him. The setting sun illuminated the innards of the ship just enough to make it not completely dark. It's faint glow rather calming and peaceful, with a sense of warmth mixing with the already warm sensation from the alcohol. It benefited Sky, not so much Lee given his lack of sight. But the feel of it would be apparent at least.
"Mmph no idea.. " Giggling softly, "Got something in mind?"
Lee Sin tried to catch the paper ball tossed at him only for it to fly past his hand. Lee Sin simply laughed at this, his dexterity had pretty well been tossed of the ship and he found it amusing right now. He attempted to stand, wobbly at first, but he soon regained a fair portion of his balance. He put a hand out to Skylark, offering to help her up. "Let's go see the sunset."
He could tell this just from the warmth he felt. Sunsets were actually one of Lee's favorite things, he enjoyed the warmth and could almost feel the light on him, it signaled rest after a day of work. Although he would not be able to see it like he had said, it would still be nice to go outside.
She'd giggle when he missed the throw, though she hadn't intended for him to catch it. Rather to just toss it at him and see what happened. When he managed to climb to his feet, she would laugh up at him, only to pause at the offered hand.
"Eh? Oh it's nothing.. Besides.. You learn a lot about people when they're drunk." Smirking, she'd accept his hand and slowly climbed to her feet. Her head spun with the intoxication, falling against Lee as she tried to regain her own sense of balance. For her, it would prove to be a bit more difficult given that he clearly had a tremendous amount of training and discipline over her.
Her cheeks tinted a light red as she pulled back a bit, "Eh.. sorry." Drifting away from him to start for the door. The light rock of the shift from the wind would make walking it a bit trickier being inebriated. Her hand pressed to the wall until she would carefully climb her way to the top deck, and finally to the edge facing the sunset. Her eyes squinting lightly with her long, ebony braid being tossed about in the wind.
Lee Sin smiled as Skylark braced herself and stood up, even more wobbly then he had been. "Is that so?" He asked at her mention of learning. As Skylark fell towards him he caught her, almost in an embrace, he did nothing to stop her from pulling back however and as she apologized he spoke. "There is no need to be." With that he followed her up to the top deck and the edge.
Lee Sin visually relaxed even more as he stopped and faced the sunset, he was still ready to catch Skylark should the ship's rocking in the wind cause her to tumble. He laughed as his own braid seemed to do the same thing as Skylark's, dancing in the wind. "One of the things that even a blind man can admire the beauty of..." He said speaking of the sunset. "You're another." Said Lee Sin, his mind practically did a flip at what he had just said, it had definitely not ordered that. Perhaps it was the alcohol that emboldened him or he just really enjoyed his time with Skylark, most likely a mixture of both.
Skylark's eyebrows rose up at his last comment, giggling a bit with the shake of her head, "Shut up." She responded a bit sharply, though it still carried with it a sense of playfulness. She'd lean forward against the rail, knowing the ship and its movements as well as she knew herself. She'd smile a bit, her gaze going distant.
"Teach me." She'd finally say out of the blue with her smile waning to the thoughts that swarmed her mind.
Lee Sin smirked as she told him to shut up, that was the reaction he had expected. It was nice to have made a new friend, he showed confidence around people but most were unaware he was terrified he would hurt anyone who got close to him in any way. The ghosts of his past remained inside him and they would never leave.
"It is hard to fill a cup that is already full, you've told me you've been trained, are you sure you seek training from an old blind monk?" He asked, almost sobering up, Lee Sin would help if she asked him, but he was unsure of what she wanted. It had taken him years to get where he was, in mind and body, and even then he was still scarred in the same ways. He constantly had nightmares of his past and his dedication to his power had come from that.
"I am trained." She says, "But my Mom once told me we never stop learning. So why not keep looking for teachers?" Glancing towards him, she'd smirk a bit, "I'm not good at fighting. I'm good at three major things.. Being sneaky, climbing, and free running. I can kill... but I don't like to." Rolling her shoulders in a shrug, "You're good at.. a lot of things. Teach me to fight. Refine what I know already. Maybe I can conquer my demons this way."
"A wise woman she must have been, but fighting is not something that one should take so lightly. One cannot simply learn to fight in a day, it will take quite awhile for you to even master a single element of battle. I will give you two paths, you must choose one, you will fight with nothing in your hands, learn to manipulate the energy around you and focus on empowering it. Or you will wield a weapon, on this path you will learn of many weapons and how to use them to their full potential. I will not take your answer now, your mind is impaired and unsure of the choices ahead, you may wake up tomorrow morning and realize you do not seek my aid." Said the monk, the alcohol almost seemed to wear off as he spoke, his words were clear and defined now, all joking was removed from his voice.
Sky hmphs softly in response to him, and smirks quickly after, "I already have an answer. Think I came to the Monastery for no reason?" She questioned. She'd step back from the edge a bit, seeming to sober slowly as well, "Y'know what'd be really good right now?" She asked, then followed it up with an answer as she'd glance towards him, "Food."
"Food? Is there any on this ship? I suppose I didn't think of it, I don't eat much." Said Lee Sin to Skylark, he really was a simple man, so he couldn't think of any sort of food other then maybe bread and a few vegetables, the monks didn't eat meat all that often. He had no idea what to do really, the man hadn't had this level of interaction for quite a while, usually only having a casual conversation for a couple of minutes was a long interaction for him. The only prolonged interactions he had with most champions was when he was on the field, and his only goal there was to help kill as many of them as possible, something he was a little to good at for his liking.
"Eh this and that. I managed to grab some stuff before coming here." As the sun set over the horizon, Sky would turn and make her way back down. The inevitable fatigue that followed with drinking large quantities of alcohol was starting to take hold. But so was her hunger as her stomach growled noticeably. She was still tipsy though, and would remain as such for a while.
As Sky went down, she'd grab a few pre-made items from her cold storage and leaned against the counter, "Fruit, fish.. it's already cooked. Just cold." Yawning, she'd fold her arms and leaned back against the counter, lowering her head a bit, "Have at it, Lee." Sky fell silent as her eyes drifted closed, suddenly seeming to fall asleep where she leaned. Her head hanging forward quietly.
Lee Sin followed Skylark down again and examined the food, he was about to speak when she nodded off. He listened, the room had become incredibly quiet other than Skylark's and his own soft breathing. He smiled and slinked off to find where Skylark slept most of the time, he located it and returned to her.
He picked the small girl up as if she were nothing, cradling her in his arms he carried her to her bed and gently set her down in it. "Sweet dreams, rest now for your training will not be easy." He whispered at her, so peaceful he thought. He made his way back to the food, placing it back into the cold storage, he was fine, there was no need to eat her food. he made his way to the main living area and lied down on the floor, nothing between him and it. There he rested, knowing he was going to have a terrible hangover the next day, he chuckled softly at the thought before dosing off
"To each their own, if ya' put the work inta' it ya' deserve the spoils. Or at least that is how they justify it in the conman's world." Twisted Fate replied, and when asked if there was any spot in Ionia he wanted to see, he came up with a rather clever reply.
"Well cheri, Ah' thought ya' were the best sight ta' see from Ionia." He flirted as he walked near the railing of the ship watching as they ascended higher and higher into the clouds. He had never seen the land from this high up, and he had to admit it was quite beautiful. Like a certain someone else that was on this same ship," So now what cheri? What happens now?"
Mai turned slightly and chuckles, "Sounds about right." She'd hit another switch sending the afterburners into high burn. The ship would literally dance across the tops of the clouds as it raced towards the direction of Ionia, "Sit back and enjoy the ride. And if the need to vomit arrives, don't do it on my deck unless you want to clean it yourself." Eyeballing him.
At the flirting, the smile grew into mischief, "Heh. You just admitted girls throw themselves at you. I'm not into sloppy seconds. You'll have to do better then that."

Twisted Fate sighed, "What can Ah say Mai, most women can't resist me. However, yer' playin' a bit hard ta' get." He said as he eyed her from underneath his hat. Normally by this point women were kissing his hands, and often times.....well....yeah they really really liked him by this point.
However, Mai seemed immune or at least resistant to his charms. Which was quite the surprise, but at the same time...he enjoyed it. Evelynn was the same way, very much a free spirit, until they got further along in their relationship, "N' that just makes this game of ours a lot more fun. We'll see what Destiny has in store fer' us sooner or later, Ah reckon'."
The gypsy then turned his thoughts to Ionia, "So is there anythin' in particular Ah need ta' know bout' Ionia? Customs? What not ta' do, sides the obvious." Twisted Fate wanted to know as much as he could about Ionia. Knowledge is power, at least that is what he learned after having to fight off poverty, police, and mobsters in his youth. The more you know the better off you are.
