Training Day

[knowledgeordeath]

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.]

[She's no match for him, physically. Kolivan outclasses her in size, speed, and strength. He also has years on her in battle experience, so coming up with a strategy to incapacitate her should be easy. But she's going to have to think of something if she wants to last longer than five seconds in this training. She asked for it, after all.

But first, she needs to gather data.

Blocking her weapon is expected, but she notes that he doesn't even budge in doing so. She draws back, just half a step, only to aim another downward swing at him. She focuses lower this time; how well can he defend the legs that are so easily within Pidge's reach?]

[knowledgeordeath]

[Wise. Fighting at her height when outclassed. It's a wise move.

Kolivan shifts back to get out of her reach, taking advantage of her shorter reach to essentially just step out of the way. Once he's beyond her range, he rushes forward to kick at her head. It's a harsh blow if it lands but he's not intending to go easy on her.

No. He expects her to get hit or to dodge. That's it.]

[pidge_out]

[He's already figured out how far her reach goes. Pidge mentally makes a note of that and files it away.

As soon as she sees that incoming kick, she opts for the dodge option, ducking beneath the swing of Kolivan's leg. She's still moving forward though, enough to drop into a small slide so she can get past him. On the way she tries to catch him by the leg and pull, hoping to knock him off balance and send him to the floor.]

[knowledgeordeath]

[He lets her pull. He even lets her take him down. However, it's all so that way he can roll with her attached to his leg to fling her across the room with the momentum that he builds up.

Largely just to see how she handles that.]

[pidge_out]

[Pidge is very well aware that she's going to be very, very bruised at the end of all this.

She decides, at the very last second, that as he rolls and tries to fling her off she's not going to let go. She does her damnedest to stay attached at his leg, using the momentum he's provided her to aim a kick at whatever she's able to reach.]

[knowledgeordeath]

[Which really is only to his leg. But, hanging on is not a terrible move. There's a stubbornness to it which is worth noting. Something Kolivan is certainly doing as he shifts his blade around to aim at her.

Could he potentially hurt himself to get her off of him? Possibly. But obviously Blades don't mess around when sparring.]
