training ♔ monday morning

[nepotism]

WHO || Fredrick Jr., Luthir, Dovan, entirely open
WHAT || Weapons training
WHERE || Knights HQ, Training Room / Armory / Firing Range / Gym, Dragon's Hide wing, 2nd floor
WHEN || Monday, March 11th from 10am onwards
HOW || Actionspam

It's that time again. New squires would have heard the word come 'round that there would be open weapons orientation this Monday - which is also open to anyone who just wants to come spar with the newbies as well. As before, at the top of the main staircase is the entrance to an incredibly spacious room, that has gym and weight training equipment on the wall near the door, and then lots of old school training dummies and more at the far end. A glass door enters into a firing range, and another pair of large doors on the farthest wall lead to the armory.

Sir Luthir stands off to one side, all impassive elf, armored in his light, beautifully worked metal, and carrying a sword. Red-headed Sir Ironsides hefts an axe over his shoulder and offers a boisterous greeting to those approaching, and Fred helps round people up to the middle of the room.

Some of the squires' mentor Knights will have accompanied them - others will have left them to their own devices. Everyone's welcome to tag into threads or make their own!

It's plenty safe, as long as I don't put my finger on the trigger too soon and shoot myself in the foot.

[nepotism]

[ actually he seems to be keeping a close eye on charming and andie who are sparring across the way ] Sunlight, crosses, blood of virgins, that kind of thing?

[unhand]

...that something that happens a lot?

[likeagod]

[He glances toward the fight as well, then, noticing that he has a bit of an advantage over her.]

It's a bit more complicated than that, but those are a few of the factors, yes.

[Moroi vs Strigoi seemed to be a strange concept here.]

[nepotism]

[ and as charming delivers a particularly nasty blow to andie, he suddenly drops his sword to his side and brushes dimitri aside ] Whoa, uh, duty calls, I'll be back...

[uncease]

[He turns towards Fred, still holding the unconscious girl.] Yeah. It just... happened! I didn't think I would hit her that hard...

Is she going to be okay?

[nepotism]

She'll be fine. We'll bring her next door to the cleric's wing. You wanna help me lift?

[likeagod]

[He watches as Fred heads off, his brow creased with worry for the girl who fell, and he moves to stand off to the side in case he's needed.]

[uncurse]

To me? No. To you? [ she looks at his hook, eyebrows raised. ] Let's just stick with assuming you're accident-prone until proven otherwise. [ grade a victim blaming right hurr ]

[unhand]

[Wow, Emma, wow.] That's why you're supposed to teach me.

[uncurse]

That's why I suggest you learn to follow my rules if you want me to do that.

[uncease]

Yeah, I got her. She doesn't weigh much. [Good thing Andie is a tiny thing, since he was already holding her.]

Just lead the way and get the door, if you can.

[nepotism]

[ oh right W/E he'll open the door and point the way across the hall to the med wing ] Do you and I have to have a chat about knowing our limits?

[unhand]

You'd find me so dull if I did.

[uncurse]

I already find you dull, Hook. You're nothing I haven't seen before.

[uncease]

We were just sparring. I didn't mean to... [He sighs, because he feels REALLY BAD ABOUT THIS OKAY.] I just need to make sure that she's okay.

[unhand]

[He scoffs.] We both know that's not true.

[uncurse]

Find a new trick.

[nepotism]

If you meant to, we'd be having more than a chat. [ across they go~ ] She'll be fine. Promise.

[unhand]

I'm trying to learn one. Not with much help from you, I might add.

[uncurse]

You're not exactly cooperating, either.

[unhand]

[He considers that for a moment.]

I can behave. Not to the extent of your rules, but I'll listen.

[uncurse]

Then, be here at ten tomorrow. We'll go back over what Sir Luthir taught you, and practice.

[ it's not about him, it's about following her orders. all the same ... ]

[unhand]

[He beams at her.]

I'll be there.

[uncease]

[The concept of trying to hurt Andie is horrifying, but all he can focus on is getting her to someone who can help.]

You're really calm. Has this kind of thing happened before?
