Clare and Selendis

[shieldedvirtue]

Selendis stood in her usual position, crouched down with her arms up to block any of Clare's advances. It was probably repetitive and dull for anyone watching, but Selendis could do this all day and Clare needed the consistency. The girl was improving, at least, even if it was slow going. She hadn't expected much from the human, but had left room to be pleasantly surprised by seeing progress.

While she had no intention of truly hurting Clare, Selendis never really pulled her punches when they came. It was a real enough threat that Clare was learning to not let her guard down, and keep honing her reflexes. Still, Selendis kept them to a minimum, and she knew where to aim to make a point.

The feint, while well executed, was easily rebuffed by the alien woman. "The theatrics are unnecessary, and you are leaving yourself open. Do it again."

Selendis just waited for Clare to recollect herself and attack again, watching the entire process. Despite the obvious differences, she could almost see something of herself in Clare. Training as a Templar wasn't easy, but Selendis had done it alongside males that were larger and stronger than her. Clare had a long way to go before she impressed Selendis, but everyday she continued their training was a step in the right direction.

As predicted, Selendis blocked the attack, but nodded in approval. That was more like it.

"Again."

Clare was probably getting sick of that word by now.

Clare at the Clinic

I hope no one else has volunteered yet? /doesn't want to be a butt

Watson was in the clinic at that moment, shuffling about with his limp and his cane as he rearranged their stock of medical supplies in one cabinet and filled a case with a few of each. Naomi was conducting medical training every morning soon, and Watson had volunteered to help keep her lessons stocked clinic items.

He heard the tinkling of the small bell he'd hung on the doorknob, and peered out from the room he'd been in to look at the door. There was a weary-looking girl standing there. "You seem to be in a good amount of pain, young lady," he remarked as he put the case away and walked out to greet her. If she was capable of standing up, then it must not be that terrible, but Watson could never particularly tell with these stubborn warriors. "What can I do for you?"

Totally fine! ^_^

Clare after the Clinic

Yuuri had just finished setting up his apartment, for the most part. There was still a lot that he needed to do, but for now he needed to fill up the cupboards and fridge. They were both empty right now, but that would change soon enough! Especially since he was on his way to the supermarket right now.

Distracted with his walk, he didn't notice Clare until they were almost right on top of each other. Abruptly stopping, the young Maou's eyes widened as a smile spread over his face. "Clare!?" Yuuri said with a happy laugh. He hadn't noticed yet that she was inured.

"I'm just heading to the supermarket," Yuuri said with a smile. It had been a little while since he'd last seen his friend, so it was great to see her again. "I asked for the day off today because I had to move into my new apartment. That's why I'm heading to the ships since there's nothing much int there right now."

He couldn't help but note the way that she was holding her side. It was a curious sight, and he wondered if there was something wrong. "Is everything okay?" He found himself asking.
