Clearly there was more behind Sarada's mad scramble to simply shove as much food into her face as possible- than Ishtar had initially assumed- at it was a realization that was endearing as it was wholly amusing. After all it meant that food was certainly higher on the Saiyan's list of priorities than many things ... likely most things. Something the Oni had assumed anyway, and yet here was tangible proof.
When the two larger women offered their mutterings of outrage toward her love however, Ishtar turned her attention towards the two and offered a small, fanged smile.
"Instead of being outraged at someone in better heath than you, might I suggest you attempt to do more than gossip and eat ?"
Turning away, even as the two ladies declared rather loudly, that the couldn't believe that blue bitch with the horns would say something like that. The golden-eyed Oni simply waited for Sarada to seat herself- snatching away another little bit of rib, before the Saiyan could consume it herself- and get comfortable before starting in on the training ideas she wished to discuss.
"So ... to start I was thinking that we might, perhaps, take the day to rest and enjoy ourselves, and starting tomorrow early in the morning we might begin our training in earnest." Ishtar started, in between small bites of food. "I will defer to you, should you know a better means of ... training, of course, and yet ... by the time the Room of Spirit and Time, is finished, I would like for us to be able to fight under the effects of my gravity spell- as it is now- as if it does not exist at all." A lofty goal perhaps, and yet the desire to train so that she might face Genesis, and train to meet the threat of Jagam and this other; saw to it that what had been done previously to train would not be enough. At least in Ishtar's mind.
"I would also like for you to train with Parsley. Whether or not she has ulterior motives does not much matter beyond what she offers ... and I intend to make use of her for that, at the least ... not to mention that the two of you, beating on each other might lend itself to resolving the ... tension between the both of you, while at the same time allowing the both of us to work on mastering the Aka Manah. A thing long overdo." Of course, calling it tension was a decided understatement; yet it would not be too much to say that they both needed to improve upon utilizing the benefits of the connection they shared- beyond heightening pleasure- while learning to shut out the negative effects.
There was also one more thing, and one that caused Ishtar to drop her voice, a little lower.
"Also ... I intend to revisit Aēšma." Ishtar stated then, mentioning the ability that- had Asha'rah, and Zurvan not stepped in to prevent such- killed her. "It is a powerful tool ... but it is too dangerous. I intend to refine it, but I cannot do so without you; nor would I do so without your permission."
Having said her peace in regards to training for the moment however, the Oni sat back in her chair and let slip a sigh.
"What do you think ? Any suggestions ? Concerns ?" After a moment of silence between the the two as Sarada continued to devour her second helping, the golden-eyed Oni then added, "Dessert ?"
