Nice.

Though it makes me realize Shizue's isn't exactly up to date anymore...

...too soon?


[X] It's time for a training expedition… at least, a short one. Go out into the desert, see if he can't do a little better without people to compare himself to.

A/N: Oh, and this is a wonderful commission by @Jen !

I was on my phone when I first saw the picture so I couldn't see Ichiman's face very well. From a distance, it looked like he was feeling awkward and I thought to myself "Man, that is so like Ichiman. They told him to make a cool pose for the team photo and he got all nervous about it and now Akachi is laughing in the background and saying that no, he is not laughing at him, it is a perfectly respectable pose just like Saya's, she is in laughing position too"; but now I can see him clearly, all calm all collected like he is thinking "Really, you think you can take me? That's cute".

What jumped to mind immediately though, was "God damn, is Saya tiny!". I mean, I know that it is mentioned whenever she is described but until placed next to Ichiman (who admitedly is supposed to be tall) it hadn't really sunk in. Even while wearing platforms she is small. I like the details in the kimono and she is admitedly pretty but the kind that you can see she will become even prettier as she grows. That said, I also wanted to tell her "You are showing too much leg young lady!" even with the undersuit you can see she is wearing.

Akachi at first I thought he was laughing and later that he was making fun of Saya's pose but now that I see him clearly, he just came out from a yawn which is why his eyes and mouth are odd at first sight. It seems he didn't have his morning coffee yet by the time the photo was taken.

I can't help but notice that, unlike the vanity photo from team one, the forehead protectors are nowhere in sight for this team. A good photo overall.

The yawn is actually a fake one. He's all like, "Is that all you can do?" Also, the original picture as we were going through it didn't have the undersuit, or rather we forgot to mention that. So we quickly changed that in the next draft (this pic actually went through a *lot* of drafts, most of them do, to get all the details right. Jen's a real trooper.)

We already saw earlier that they can do really welk with some coordination.

Especially considering Shizue is easily one of the tallest, doesn't do heels AND still growing. Saya whupping her up and down the street in taijutsu training is hilarious.
 
I on the other hand, keep seeing her blonde. I know she is not, but Saya is such an ojou type with her 'darling' that blonde drills instantly come to mind :p

On the topic of height, barring a tall Akachi, pretty sure Shizue is currently second tallest of Emicolle with Ichiman leading.
 
I just realized how much more elaborate Saya's clothes are than everyone else's. No wonder she's a taijutsu specialist, she can't afford her wardrobe and any weapons.
