Have at!

*the first day/morning of Chrodechild's planned practices. It's set up to be a relatively informal affair. She has bought/borrowed some hay from the stables--some spread on the ground to keep it from getting too muddy, some still in bales good for using as targets. She's also set up some already-broken-but-still-in-some solid-condition pots for

[Was just exploring Budehuc until he came upon this setup. Interested, he observes from a distance.]

*nods to Jale, mid-swing*

Join in if you like. Perhaps Miss Kasumi would do a bout with you. *she looks over to the last place she saw the ninja*

[jale_bait]

... Training, huh? Why not.

*guided by her look, he makes his way over to whom he presumes to be Kasumi*

[nightsveilqueen]

*smiles reassuringly to Alanis* Welcome. There's targets there, or perhaps you can find someone to work with.

[nightsveilqueen]

Perhaps you use wands differently here? Where I come from, you focus your will on your wand and strike your target with a bolt of energy formed from you and your wand.

That is how our Mage Corps fights. They save ritual magic and Marks of the Stars--which would be akin to your runes--for major battles.

*looking at the already set practice ground reminiscently; it reminds her of solderies' training session in Obel*

This is what I call real practice.

[nightsveilqueen]

Thank you. *whoosh! with her sword*

[younggeneral]

*O-ow! That was unexpected. Millay is able to avoid that at the right moment and unsheathe her sword quickly, keeping a distance from Chrodechild. *

[nightsveilqueen]

((Ack, I just meant she was still going through kata, not attacking Millay. I will one day learn to be properly descriptive.))

That was clumsy of me. But since you have your sword out...

**Sarah is the type that's socially inept. While she'd like to has a friend, she's not one to be able to express it. So, she'll watch you, standing there as if she were a personal handmaid**

[nightsveilqueen]

*while Chrodechild is the queen of social graces, at least when it comes to expressing fondness of any kind. (end sarcasm)* Sarah? *a bit surprised to see her* Were you going to join us?

[staind_chisou]

I apologize. I am not good with a sword. I prefer my targets at a distance.

[nightsveilqueen]

*points to the clay pots she's set up* It's not much of a practice range, but perhaps it will suit...?
