Behind The Dorms, Tuesday Afternoon

"Today," Arthur announced, "We are returning to a mainstay of our reserves. Sparring. Some of you have done this before, some of you haven't yet: find a partner with a skillset fundamentally different from your own, and face one another. See about each other's strengths and each other's weaknesses. Discuss it afterwards. See what you can learn ( Read more... )

Eat, drink, be merry, listen.

She had her tree back today!

Ino was very pleased about that fact as she nibbled on a sandwich and thought about what he was going on about.

Sparring? Awesome. Kennedy had been out patrolling regularly for the past several nights with nothing to show for it, which-- of the good, on one hand, but on the other, not so much for taking her off edge. Supposedly everything had been resolved, but she wasn't convinced enough to completely stand down yet.

Constance had missed out on a major opportunity to wind her Potential down a few impatient notches by not telling her how the regular patrols she wasn't technically supposed to do anyway would put a serious cramp in her social life.

So yeah, Kennedy was a little tired-looking and tense, but at least there was food on hand, and she was holding onto a gargantuan red eye from the Perk that wasn't going to last long at this rate.

Unlike certain cranky and annoying Potential Slayers in the vicinity, Tahiri was in a fairly good mood -- perceptibly better than she'd been in for quite a while, maybe -- even if she was worried about Ben and Karla and Ender. (Mildly worried; it'd only been a day, at least from her point of view. Then again, she knew how weird time got every time she headed out.)

She'd missed out on Fight Club last weekend, and given the differences in her reactions and mentality already, a spar would be interesting.

Jacob grabbed a sandwich while he considered what exactly would be considered a fundamentally different form from his own. He hadn't exactly sparred before.

Venezuela still on her mind, Fiona was nonetheless at the meeting this week. It was an improvement from her self-assigned exile, but she still kept to the corners of the meeting and tried to be unobtrusive.

Re: Arrive / Mingle future_sandworm February 9 2010, 20:12:47 UTC

Leto looked at Fiona, offering her a smile. Was something on her mind?

Re: Arrive / Mingle cutsthestrings February 9 2010, 20:14:59 UTC

The smile warmed her up a little; her arms pulled away from their position around herself and she offered a little smile.

Re: Arrive / Mingle future_sandworm February 9 2010, 20:17:40 UTC

"Hello, Fiona," he said, meeting her eyes. "How are you doing."

Re: Arrive / Mingle cutsthestrings February 9 2010, 20:20:44 UTC

The answer was 'not well' but far be it from Fiona to admit to such things. No, it was much easier to hole up in her room and do homework than do that. Her eyes were tired and there were hints of nervousness. Almost like a different girl.

"Hey, Leto. How're you? Sorry I've missed some meetings."

Re: Arrive / Mingle future_sandworm February 9 2010, 20:25:20 UTC

Turning serious, Leto said: "What happened?" The 'not well' might not be spoken, but it was still obvious. He reached out to place a hand on her arm.

Re: Arrive / Mingle cutsthestrings February 9 2010, 20:28:45 UTC

She shook that off; not his hand, but the question.

"Nothing important. What about you? How are things?"

Re: Arrive / Mingle future_sandworm February 9 2010, 20:31:31 UTC

"I'm good," he replied. "Nothing has changed there. But you should know by now that I can see beyond your words." He spoke gently, his hand not moving away.

Re: Arrive / Mingle cutsthestrings February 9 2010, 20:39:56 UTC

She breathed out and let the breath deflate her.

"I know. Don't want to talk about it here."

Clipped words, clipped sentences. It was how she spoke when she was uncomfortable.

"Maybe later?"

Re: Arrive / Mingle future_sandworm February 9 2010, 20:43:40 UTC

He nodded, smiling again. "I'll come and see you later."

Re: Arrive / Mingle cutsthestrings February 9 2010, 20:44:48 UTC

That got another small smile out of her.

"That would be nice. You can play with Nyx too."
