driftfleet | Training Day

Who: Kolivan and YOU
Broadcast: Nope
Action: On the Iskaulit
When: Today!

[Kolivan has been getting more familiar with locations here but one thing is clear...he needs to keep up with his own personal training. This may be a peaceful time here but he knows there are dangerous people already in this place. People he needs to prepare himself for should they decide to be anything less than peaceful.

So he's either in the gym or the obstacle course when he's not attending to his duties on the ship he was assigned. It means he's not asleep much but then again it's not like he is one to spend much time at rest. Not when he feels that there is a very real danger he needs to be prepared for. Just in case. Because he doesn't ever want to be caught off guard again and overwhelmed. He wants to be able to face his foes head on and not lose.

This also means it's easy enough to come across him and even if he doesn't look your way instantly it seems rather clear that he already knows you're there. Like he sensed your arrival. But it's only when he's finished a series of complex movements (with his sword and legs in the gym or through the more complicated area of the obstacle course) that he actually acknowledges you.]

Do you need something?

[It's gruff but...he's always like this. Don't mind him.]

[To many this would seem like two enemies suddenly attacking each other. To many this would be horrifying.

To Kolivan this is a welcome addition to his training for the day.

His reaction is as swift as her attack, letting her tackle him to the ground where he uses the momentum to launch her off of him. For a normal person that would mean being slammed right into the wall beyond. He'll see what she does to counter it since she's more capable than a normal person might be.

In the meantime, he's rolling himself back to his feet to get ready to crouch low so his center of gravity won't be so high.]

[ She twists her body in the air, utilizing the momentum to use the wall to her advantage. She tumbles, rolling on the ground before she's back on her feet, watching Kolivan with the intent to attack again. Good to know he hasn't lost his edge.

It's been so long since they rough housed.

She tried to compare their training to dancing once, deadly and precise as they moved around each other. It would be easy to hurt each other but the point isn't necessarily to injure their sparring partner.

Krolia rushes forward, throwing a punch at his face before dropping down to try and sweep his legs from under him. ]

[He knows her moves well and he shifts his stance as she flies forward. Reaching out, he grabs at her leg and arm, taking advantage of his superior length. Of course he could throw her away again but instead he lets go so he can throw his own punch to her face followed by a kick to her side.

These are things that he knows could seriously break someone not prepared to handle his strength and speed. But Krolia is different.

He can trust her to take care of herself.]

[ She's not quick enough in this instance, managing to block the punch to her face but the kick catches her side. Thankfully for her, the kick barely makes contact, but it's enough. She groans a bit, rolling to regain her footing as she looks up at him. She pushes herself up quickly, using her momentum to try and sweep his leg out form under him.

Krolia wasn't certain she could best him this time, but at least this was a good test to see the effects of living among this new fleet was having on her ability to move. It would allow her to evaluate a better exercise routine going forward. ]

[He has to shift his legs to stand his ground through the sweep to his legs. The result is a painful kick that is sure to bruise him later but he doesn't even flinch as he instead reaches to grab for her so he can try throwing her again.

And taking note that her movement is still good. Fast. Light. Well balanced. Good. That's what he wants to see from his Blades.]

[ She twists in his grasp, taking her chance to bite down on his forearm enough to cause him to bleed (that is, if her teeth penetrate his armor). She would use all her tools available as she tries to swing her lets up and around his neck to use her momentum to bring him down to the floor.

Krolia is determined to best Kolivan in this match - though who is to say what will happen? The downside to being a little out of practice.]

[The bite manages to slip into a weakness in his armor. He feels her mouth sink into his flesh and the blood flows. It's not heavy but with the activity of both of them it's sure to look worse than it is.

He'll have to look at it later.

For now he does actually let her bring him down. However, he shifts his weight to throw his shoulder into it so that he can flip around even with her on him. He can tell it's been a little while since she's been in a proper fight. That's something he'll have to work on in future training sessions.]
