Who: AU Sonya Blade and Shang Tsung
What: pre-marital issues
Where: the mansion
When: alternaverse, Monday night

Part of Sonya still thought it to running away, but really, this situation with them together wasn't getting any better, and it wasn't as if this was permanent. She just felt they both needed some time alone until they could think of how to handle this.

Sonya could just now create a glamor of her military ID to draw money from her account, but she still had to tell her reasoning to Shang. He was 'cold' but he was treating her like a guest-sort of-and just leaving all of a sudden was rude.

Currently, she was in the library that also served as a laboratory, skimming over a book on transfiguring and waiting for him to appear. Wearing black trouser and blue button down shirt, her hair pinned up, she looked a little older than her eighteen years.

	Shang Tsung was going to the library, as Sonya had been there for quite a while. He walks into the room, and notices Sonya apparel. "What are you doing?" he asks of her. (Reply to this) (Thread)

She closed the book.

"Waiting to talk to you. I'm moving out, Tsung. This-" She points to them both. "is not working. I'm not the Sonya you married, we both know that. That Sonya's finished her schooling and gone through so much that I haven't yet. You don't feel like waiting another ten years, and I don't think I could stand being reminded of a person I can't be yet."

"I think it's best for us both if I just spend a few days by myself."

She stopped, watching him for a reaction.

	Shang Tsung studied her, he was quite annoyed by this development. "Nonsense," he said. "Where would you even go?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I'll stay in a hotel, there are plenty in the city. I'm not running from anything, just 'retreating' for a few days." "I'm serious, you've been giving me the cold shoulder for several days now, like it's my fault I'm still here and not 'her'. Maybe if I was older and accustomed to it, I wouldn't mind, but there's nothing I can do about it at the moment." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I have only been ignoring you, because of the way you act when I'm around. I've had nothing but distrust from you, and I've been more patient than usual with this whole thing. There is no need to move out." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Could you blame me? I'm only 18, even if I tried to get back into military school they won't allow it. According to the records, I'm still married to you and they don't allow married people into the academy. I still want to get into the army, the Special Forces, all of that, but here-I can't."

She sighed, struggling to keep her composure. "I don't know what to do with myself." The thought of marriage without 'something on the side' frankly scared her to death. Expressing herself wasn't ever easy, but she'd been keeping these things to herself for some time now.

	"I know it is hard for you to settle down, and not have something of your own. We both don't know how permanent this is, and this is a huge mansion. Running off to some hotel would be irrational, even for you Sonya. I don't have anything on this realm myself." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She considered. As much as she hated to admit it, he was right. True, she had a bank account, but even that would run out eventually and Sonya didn't want a mere '9-5' job. She had ambition, drive and a hunger for a challenge, any challenge, but she wanted to feel that she was making a difference.

Sonya took a deep breath. she wouldn't complain or whine, it solved nothing. An idea formed in her head.

"Then make me your apprentice. You said it yourself I'm a fast learner and as neither of us know how long I'm going to be here, there's no point in me really getting a 'day job'. I wouldn't mind staying here at all if I could improve my combat skills and learn sorcery."

	Shang Tsung considered this. "You know, that is a good idea. I think that is certainly what we should do. You were a fast learner ten years older... and when you're younger, I imagine you'll learn ever more quickly." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

The idea of learning combat and sorcery, from a man obviously a master of both, immediately brought a smile to her face. It'd had always been her dream to be able to watch over her people, she'd certainly be able to with sorcery, even if she couldn't get into the military.

"So you'll continue teaching me then. Combat, sorcery..unless it's necromancy, can't say I'm too keen on working with the dead." her eyes widened, her thoughts running a thousand miles a minute. She might have to live her, but she'd have a purpose, a personal mission and sort of a means to earning a living-it was enough for her.

	Shang Tsung shrugged his shoulders, "It isn't as though I have a plethora of other tasks I need to accomplish. Come with me to the training room, we will spar." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"course not, just a large chain of grand hotels to look after." She got off the chair, setting the book on a table-she'd finish reading it later. She 'morphed' her clothes into more appropriate work out clothes on her way to the training room. 'Object morphing' was one of the first things Shang gave her in the 'crash course' before they were both sure of what to make of things.

	They entered the room, and Shang Tsung changed into his own Kombat clothing in the blink of an eye. He went to the mats that were laid out, and took a position opposing Sonya. "Good," he said noting her clothing. "Now first things first. I want you to attack me... with any attack you can think of." (Reply to this) (Parent)
