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.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[The already crouched position did help Kolivan in catching Ulaz as he attempted to retreat and put distance between them. Ulaz hadn't anticipated that move and could not change how fast he was moving back in time for Kolivan to catch him.

Thus he took Kolivan's full weight as he slammed into him. A stubborn Blade to the end, he attempted to twist out from Kolivan's reach one last time, but he still ended hitting the ground.

He may not have been completely out of practice, but he was apparently out of practice with an opponent larger than himself]

[Just like that, Kolivan is on top of him, his blade aimed to kill. But the final blow never comes since this is a friendly match. With a nod, he get up and sheathes his sword before reaching down to help Ulaz to his feet.

Ulaz is clearly out practice with larger opponents but he's pleased to see his speed is still the same.]

We'll need to train regularly to get you used to larger opponents again.

[That's Kolivan for "I had fun."]

[Ending up flat on his back with Kolivan’s blade aimed at him was not something he wanted to see. Surprisingly though, it wasn’t the first time he had. When Kolivan offers his hand, he takes it getting back to his feet and sheathing his sword.

Yes, he speaks “Kolivan-ese”. He knows the hidden message in there]

Yes, I think we will. I have been disadvantaged in that area for some time. I will accept all the training you will give.

[He'd had fun too, Kolivan]

Who have you trained with here?

[Because it's clear that Ulaz has been. He still moves well and his speed hasn't degraded. All good signs. Still, it leaves him curious to know who he's been sparring with him since it means that he'll have to keep an eye on those people.

Less out of suspicion and more curiosity.]

A lot of those from our world. Keith has been good practice.

The one you may find most interesting is Kogarasumaru. He is the living embodiment of a sword from his home. As such, he is a skilled swordsman and he is quicker than I am.

The living embodiment of a sword?

[He frowns. But that's not really a surprising look on his face given how he frowns all the time.

Mostly he just isn't fond of being confused.]

Apparently in his own world, he is a sword. As I understand it, there is a belief in his country that if an object is used often enough and cared for many decaphoebs, there is the chance it will gain a soul and a human form. He is one such. Apparently there are many others that have come after him that have also gained this.

I will have to watch you two train to see if he's probably handling you.

[Mostly that just means he's curious.]

I’m sure he’d have no problems with that. Kogarasumaru has said that he wanted to meet others from the Blades should they arrive.

[Properly handling him...]

Find a time. I will observe then.

[It's so easy and natural to give orders that he does it without even thinking about it.]

I will speak with him about and find out when works for you come observe.

[He doesn't really think there is going to be an issue at all, but still not going to assume in case he has plans]

Good.

[He looks to his arm.]

I will rest for now to give this a chance to heal. Contact me with that information when you are ready.

That is good idea. Letting it heal. I will let know when I have answer from Kogarasumaru.

And let me know if you require anything further for your arm.

I will call upon you to look at it tomorrow. This will suffice for today.

[He's at least aware that he should have it looked at again tomorrow but he figures this will be fine for the time being. Probably not the wisest thing but this is Kolivan. He's not about to lose his arm in a day so he's not going to give it much thought.]

Let me know when you want me to come over.

[He trusts that Kolivan is able to take care of it for at least one night. Plus it would be easier to examine for more serious injuries once swelling from the injury and extended exercise went down]

I will see you then.
