Thread: Handling the Hunter (Monster Hunter World) [Clearsight X Javorcek][FxF]

Brezziana couldn't stay focused on the ceremony for more than the first two hours. She was still half listening as the instructors went on with their speeches, then the General came up to give his speech and call out each person who had made it to Hunter...but now her mind was split between the calling of names and cataloging a few things she had read in one of her new books. The Great Jagras....not a very aggressive monster...but they tend to swallow things whole. Would that be a suitable beast for her Hunter? Something that could be tracked and studied before a careful ambush was planned? The only problem was that the Great Jagras tended to swallow it's prey in one gulp. Maybe the Kulu-ya-ku...at least then my Hunter won't have to worry about being digested, only peckedclawedbludgeoned to death on our first go- No Hunter is complete without their Handler! The General boomed, drawing Brezziana out of her thoughts. She had been brimming with excitement at the beginning of the ceremony but even she could only keep interest for so long, especially when the General had recycled the majority of the speech he had given the Handlers a month ago at their ceremony into the speech he was giving to the Hunters now. After hearing the word 'Handler' though, her attention came back to the world around her. Finally, finally they were being assigned their partners! The prospect made her smile and bounce giddily on her toes despite her attempts at being professional. Teyla Rhinhalt and Brezziana Yoshimasha! A soft murmur went through the crowd at Brezziana's name suddenly the girl felt a hundred eyes on her, causing the small Handler to blush and study her boots for a moment to avoid the surprised gazes. Really, she didn't look anything like her grandfather she had the light brown hair and fair skin of her mother's side. But her smile...her curiousity...her mind...her intense love for good food, those were all Yoshimasha traits. Someone's popular, Deems, one of Brezziana's closest friends murmured out of the side of his mouth with a little grin on his lips. Har Har, Brezziana mumbled back, Which one is Teyla? I wasn't paying attention... The tall one over there that's looking at you like you'd make a delicious snack. Deems gave an almost imperceptible nod over towards the Hunter. At that sort of description, Brezziana was expecting a meathead of a male hunter the kind her grandfather had warned her about. Instead, she was greeted with the sight of a tall woman who would probably be attractive if she wasn't so blatantly lecherous to the point of discomfort. Hmmph. Have fun with that one, Brezzi. Deems flashed a brief grin before resuming his stone-faced, seriousness for the sake of ceremony. ------------------ That concludes the Hunter Initiation Ceremony! We now invite our Hunters, Handlers, family members and honored guests to feast with us to commemorate this momentous occasion, for tomorrow, these new guild members will embark to the New World as full members of The Hunter's Guild and members of the Fifth Fleet! There were excited roars and cheers from the newly appointed Hunters and their Handlers. Brezziana couldn't refrain from giving a shout of joy herself. Despite her wariness at the prospect of her new partner who may or may not understand boundaries, she was excited to finally be going on the journey she had been waiting for since she was old enough to have a dream. The crowd dispersed from their seats to grab food from the Palicoes and humans who were now stocking tables around the edges of the city square with delicious foods and beverages. Now was understood to be a time for the Hunters and Handlers to meet up with each other for the first time so family members didn't interrupt, goodbyes could be said later. Brezziana did as she was supposed to do and started making her way towards her Hunter like the other Handlers were doing. When she spotted Teyla she hurried a little bit so that she didn't lose the Hunter to the bustling crowd. Hiya! Brezziana chirped, tamping down her discomfort from the look that she had been getting from Teyla earlier and putting on a friendly face. Brezziana Yoshimasha at your service, partner. You can call me Brezzi for short if you like.
