Kragok, unfortunately, didn't hear the knock. He was busy training, something he'd done almost nonstop since his arrival in Econtra. His robes flourished and followed his movements in flowing steps, and he felt the weight of each blow as he threw it. His friend Leonidas was gone. Gone before he could ask the human about Sparta, about the people he ruled and of his own ways as a warrior. Kragok's fists cut through the air easily and sweat flew off his brow and arms, casting glittering droplets around the tiled floor of the empty room.

"Damn it all," he muttered, spinning on the ball of one foot and swinging his fist, "still not good enough!" His fist impacted against the apartment wall with a resounding crash, shaking the wall and most of the apartment from the force.

Well. That didn't sound good.

Thankfully, the door was unlocked or else Persephone would have been busting it down and the residents of Dor-Epta would be forced to requisition themselves a new door, which would just be a hassle and a half. Thinking that Lien-Da may have finally decided to kill Kragok after all, the young goddess burst into the room, wild eyed and --

Kragok didn't turn to face Persephone immediately. He still felt shame burning on his face from his action, and the worry he'd sparked in her. "My apologies, Persephone. I was merely training, as I usually do anymore. You caught me at an awkward moment, I suppose." He turned back around to face her, wiping the red from his cheeks.

"Come to learn to play chess finally?" he asked.

Persephone masked her concern quickly with a smile. "Quite alright. I just thought someone had come to assassinate you finally, is all. No worries," she said teasingly, a grin easily spreading across her features.

"And, yes. I have. If you'd like me to come back later, though, I don't mind?"
