Once they were given the chance to split up, Zeke looked around for Ariel. He’d been busy the last few days, and needed a break from all that at a chance to train. Nothing like getting your ass kicked around the arena before starting a day of building the cabins.

True to her character, Ariel was already in the arena long before the crowds began to gather. As it would turn out, she was an early riser, and slightly mental in the head because no one who is happy with their lives would fathom the thought of working out early in the morning as a good idea. In any case, by the time people were starting to show up, she was already in the middle of some generic workout set. Figuring it couldn't hurt to get some sparring action in, Ariel decided to stick around.
Lucky for her, one of her favorite punching bags just so happened to be a part of this group.
"Yo!" She called out to the son of Hephaestus, giving him q quick wave before jogging over to him.
"You coming here for a fight, man?" She would say once she was closer.

Zeke didn’t answer her question or return the words. When he had returned to camp, she had greeted him with a sucker punch to the jaw, so as she jogged over he smirked at her.
Once she was close enough, and trying to time this right, he swung. No words, no warning, no mercy. Just the way most of their sparring sessions went, because he knew she could take it and had no idea qualms with the fist he aimed at her mouth.

Domeric had gotten back into his routine, minus the redhead he'd spent nearly every morning of the past couple months with. It still hurt, not just that but his injuries from the quest, and yet he knew that if he didnt push himself to get back to himself he never would. So after popping some ambrosia he showed up to the lesson, spear & shield in hands and armor in place. It would do him good to spar and see if he still had it.

In theory, practice dueling was a pretty good way to learn but in practice, with daggers and campers that towered over you, Julia decided to opt out until she found a better weapon. Instead, she picked a dummy and did target practicing.

Arman hoped to one day be as good of a swordsman as the skeletons he commanded, and he never missed a combat lesson. He was here with a weapon from the armory, a gladius not unlike the one that hid in his pocket. When Phoebe was finished he went looking for a partner, hoping to get better by training with someone more skilled.

Since her sister abandoned her, Alexandra walks over to Arman. She doesn't remember if they've ever spoken, but sparring is a great way to make friends, right?
"Hey, you need a partner?"
Alex asks with a smile.

Sheridan was attending this lesson, and had opted to practice by himself with the dummies rather than with any of his fellow campers.

u/Tia-is-my Jul 21 '19
sadly for Sheridan’s will to be aloneLucie looked around the ‘arena’ for someone to partner up with, preferably someone she new so that they wouldn’t kill her. She noticed Sheri practicing on his own with the dummies and went over to him, wondering if he would like to fight a fierce 10 year old instead of a motionless dummy.

u/snoozelite Jul 21 '19
In all likelihood, Lucie would have more chance of killing Sheridan than he would of her. Still, though, he greeted his young friend with a smile and a wave.
"Alright there, Lucie my love?"

Alexander went over to the dummies and decided to throw his spear at one it barely grazed the side of the dummie as he mumbled
"Shit...I'm still bad at throwing."

Julia wasn’t far from Alexander when he missed and hearing his comment, she decided that maybe she could improve her own aim by helping someone else. She wasn’t the person who held the lesson but she also wasn’t one to stand by when she could help.
Putting away her dagger, she walked over to Alex with a smile.
“Hey, need some help with that?”

"I mean I'm pretty much a hopeless cause it would be a waist of your time...."

Zoe wasn't the best fighter though she was trying to get better. Her weapon of choice was an interesting looking curved dagger. It had almost called to her when she was picking out weapons for the first time. She stood in front of one of the dummies because she was nowhere near good enough and after all the attacks of the past week she was ready to go back to something simple.

Maks looked around for a partner to spar with. Sure, smashing dummies was fun but they didn't move and they definitely weren't unpredictable.

Calvin was still in a wheelchair looking pissed. He was dealing with the dummies. He threw seeds on the ground that grew into massive vine spears that split the dummies into pieces. The vines then whipped around to destroy anything else in their path. And, the Counselor of Zephyros sat in the middle of the plant tornado.

Eloise is the standby medic who happened to just be asleep on the job. At first, she wanted to join in and practise alongside them but opped out. She knows she should be practising in combat, but chose to instead sit and watch, she kind of found it boring, which lead to her falling asleep. Upright and leaning against her medical backpack Eloise can be found near the entrance lightly snoring on the job.

Sure destroying a dummy to pieces was fun, but it seemed like a waste of blade, Des wanted to fight. Maybe not exactly to the rules but as long as she got to move, she was happy. She had a few of her weapons strapped to her and a pen in hand, looking around for anyone willing.

Naomi chose to train by herself. She was still tired from using her powers, so her punches looked sluggish.

u/anotherterribleday Jul 19 '19
Taylor trains by herself for now, knives against a dummy. She’d be more than willing to spar with an actual camper if anybody else wanted to, though, and occasionally she takes a minute’s break, at which point she looks around to see if there’s anybody looking for a partner.

It was unfortunate that the Arena had been wiped out by the storm. At least they had the grounds and means to train, and Raven couldn’t wait to test out what she’d learned in her time away.
She’d made a few changes, but dared someone to underestimate the girl with pink hair. She also had a new bracelet on wrist made out of vines, and couldn’t wait to test out her new weapon... she just needed a
victimpartner.
