Ragnor: Turns his head, actually looking at Cinthia. His eyes narrow, glowing ever so slightly, but then return back to their soft green of earlier. Moves to rest his arms against his chest, finishing his cigarette, then crushing it under his boot
I know you only mean well, but I will carry this burden myself
There are a few back home to help, plus the reserve keeps me going
Tilts his head back, staring at the sky
She would've wanted me to keep going…
Eve: Moves, coming to rest on Ragnor's shoulder. Purrs softly
He stuck the staff down at an angle, stopping her from connecting with the swipe.
Cinthia actually lets out a relieved breath, then flushes red in embarrassment Sorry. I don't mean to be rude. I just happen to have the ability to ease that burden, though at a cost to myself. Last time I offered… She trailed off, fists clenching in anger
Tess's foot shot out, hooking around his legs and knocking him to the ground in one swipe. She flipped the staff and pressed it against his chest
He gave her a smile. "Owie."
Ragnor: Continues to stare at the sky for several moments, then finally looks back to her
All good
Some people worry about others, it's in their nature to not want another to feel the pain they have felt…
She returned the smile and pulled back, offering a hand Next lesson, be aware of your surroundings. Not just the weapon in hand can be a weapon. Look for possible opening and exploit them, or block them if it's your opponent going for an opening.
He let her pull him up. "I see that now."
Tessie and Runner are the big ship))
Cinthia nodded, though distantly. Or, it's trying to gain back any semblance of respect they lost for simply being born. She absentmindedly ran her fingers down her burnt arm. But right now, I need to focus on tracking down that fucking bastard and making him beg for mercy for what he's done… she practically growled
(XD I know, I love them already!)
(It's just him letting her beat his ass, 'cause it would happen either way)
Tess and Runner continue to spar, and she begins discreetly letting Runner get in a few hits
Ameria: Yawns
Mizu: Sleepy?
Ameria: Yeah…
(lol, well, she's a trained warrior who's fought in at least one war and dubbed one of the most lethal of her group…)
Ragnor: Fair enough I suppose
His eyes watch her movements, then move to lay on his own, arm that is hidden in the metal gauntlet
Just don't let your hatred and rage blind you when the time comes…
"Oh, c'mon, now you're giving me pity strikes?" He asked, still smiling.
Cinthia rests her mismatched gaze on him, eyes hard and unfeeling I've put my personal revenge aside for three years for the sake of others. I've stared face to face with him multiple times and did nothing. The man responsible for my death. I know how to handle my emotions, thank you.
Tess tilts her head innocently Whatever do you mean?
"Oh, c'-mh!-on, you're like a cat playing with a mouse!"
Tess grinned If you want a cat playing with a mouse… She partially shifts, then darts around the training room at the speed of light, strong dragon legs propelling her across the walls and over the ceiling. Every so often, she would speed by and lightly hit him to throw him off balance, then dart away as if she hadn't even been there
Ragnor: Only chuckles softly
Eve: Moves, speaking quietly in her master's ear
Ragnor: Listens, then uses a finger with his good hand to lightly pet his familiar's head
Yes Eve, I took my tonic. If you want, you can check my pocket to see the syringe is empty.
Eve: Sighs
And I suppose you'll expect me to go back home and refill it
Ragnor: Nah, I'll get it when the next day comes
He shook his head, dropping the staff and laying down on his back. "That type of trick would only work on someone who isn't sensitive in magic."
Cinthia sees something on her computer and she immediately jumps to her feet. Bingo She disappears in a cloud of darkness, leaving behind her open computer.
Tess perches up in the rafters directly above Runner Aw. That's no fun.
