[Action] 021

[fallenambitions]

[It's sometime late into the afternoon, when the sun isn't at its highest. Alexei has gone out of the house and can be found pacing around the barracks. A lot has been on his mind lately and he wanted to find something to do to distract himself. Hiding Staying in the house can only stay interesting for so long...walking clears the mind, right?

[At the barracks? Well, that is where Katara is today. Practicing.

But not her waterbending. No. She's working through some issues, and bending is too destructive and not violent enough. So for almost the first time since she's started training, Katara is attacking a practice dummy with her knife - and not holding anything back.

Pity the dummy. It is now full of holes.]

[fallenambitions]

[Pity? He doesn't pity inanimate objects. He'll watch her do her training routine for now, since she seems to be focused with what she's doing and it's probably not a good idea to interrupt.]

[She's getting better at her awareness of her surroundings, and when she notices that someone has entered the barracks she groans. She didn't want company right now. She executes one more strike on the dummy and turns to see who it is.

Oh. Have a nod.]

Alexei.

[fallenambitions]

Greetings. Didn't know you fought with a weapon as well.

[markofthebrave]

[She turns to the side so as to keep him in view.] I'm learning.

[A half shrug.] It's not my weapon of choice, but it's better to be prepared.

[fallenambitions]

[He nods] Teaching yourself? Or has someone shown you how to use a knife.

[markofthebrave]

Hugo is teaching me.

[fallenambitions]

I see. Think he might be interested in teaching more then one person? A class?

[markofthebrave]

Hugo? I don't know. You'd have to ask him.

[She shrugs.] Probably. He likes to help out. Why?

[fallenambitions]

I'm looking at using the barracks as a place to hold lessons, to teach people how to fight. Particularly the inexperience, who might end up forced into the draft.
