The trip to Oak was not a pleasant one for either of them. Those dark personas of their personality were showing. LeeAnn hated that part of herself. She wished that she would never want harm on anyone no matter what they did, but guess it was human nature or as human as it could be in her case. She had to get some fresh air and nothing smelled like it such as the ocean. It was one of her biggest fears. Ragtime stood there staring out at the open blue sea. "A good leader listens, but a great leader takes action. Which one are you, Nakamura?" He spoke to her in such as tone that made her shiver. For the first time in a long time, she felt chilled to the bone. There was not weather for a cold front. His mix-matched eyes glared to his right, directly at his vessel. She gave a gulp, as she sat down. His actions were starting to scare her.
"Ragtime...you know me" she spoke. Ragtime sighed. He leaped from the rock he was standing on then landed with more of direct eye contact with her. "Answer the damn question, LeeAnn" he ordered. LeeAnn felt a bit more intimated, she felt...submissive to her contractor. They were suppose to be partners. Helping each other out right? She had no ide what the spirit had planned, but she knew it was not going to be a prank. "I...take action" she replied. Ragtime rose his head while maintaining eye contact. He gave a stern look with a firm nod of approval. "Good. I will make sure of this. Eternal Nightmare is nothing to sneeze at Nakamura. So...thats why were training. Compared to the other founders, you're a laughing joke. My vessel will not be laughed at like some practical prank. I want you to burn everything iny our path and leave ashes in your wake. Now...my first order as your mentor is to run" he spoke. She was taken a back a little. The spirit was not fooling around this time. He was given a clueless glance as she got up. "RUN! RUN RUN RUN AS IF YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT. RUN" he screamed. This caused her to jump and begin to run with Ragtime hollering behind her. She was a little fearful what he might do if she didn't. Usually, she was more of a dominate persona, but this time she didn't know what to think at the moment.
"I want to see you sweat. Come on, Nakamura" he kept calling. They ran until she felt like her lungs were on fire. She had to stop before she passed out from exhaustion. LeeAnn felt her legs become jelly then fell to the ground. Ragtime had a bottle of water lifted with his levitation magic then delivered it to Lee. He gave a small sincere smile. Now, she was confused. "What fucking mental game are you playing with me" she panted. Ragtime gave a small chuckle before explained himself. Using anger as a motive as something he wanted to try out with LeeAnn.
"LeeAnn, I really don't like it when you sit down and wallow in pity. Nothing ever good comes out of that. You're never going to get anywhere that way. Maybe if you tell me what's on your mind, it may help" he smiled. LEeAnn sighed then sipped a little bit of the water. It felt refreshing after a while. When she caught her breath, she answered the chaotic entity. "I feel like an idiot for just glancing over Eternal Nightmare as if it was some joke. I really hate the idea of actually being so stupid. I am not a good leader sometimes. Reason why I chose them specifically to help me out with these things. I know I cannot do this all myself" she spoke.
