BULLETPROOF {fight training}

*Tinaro* · 08-14-2016, 01:51 AM

He was surprised anyone showed up at all. Then again, he was the new Prima Guardia; they had to show up. The immense authority daunted him, bringing a certain uncertainty to his demeanour. He wanted this position. He wanted the responsibilities that came with the rank. He wanted the power, the right to give orders and enforce decisions. Sometimes it felt like too much. He didn't want to be above anyone; he was equal with everyone else in the pack.

Tinaro made sure to extend a nod to each arriving member as they seated themselves - a silent gesture of a greeting. An older male, Hansel, was the first to arrive, followed by Karabela. "I'm good, thanks," he answered her inquiry before turning his gaze to Lark, followed by Lillianna. Sandpiper was next, greeting him in a chime. "Hi Piper," he dipped his head to the tan-furred girl. An auburn woman emerged next - an unfamiliar face. Was she the one Bass had spoken about at the meeting? Liviana he believed her name was. Before he could dwell on the female's name for much longer, an alabaster and tawny man emerged - Decim. The Lastic male was about to call the training together, hesitating for a few moments to gather his thoughts, before he was interrupted by the arrival of a russet-marked male - Zell, followed by Dart, Abaven's own fox, Kakashi with Quake, and Váli, who he believed was Abaven's highest ranking field medic. At least some of them apologised, though this being his first training as Prima Guardia, Tinaro didn't really mind. Not yet. "In the nick of time," he assured the ebony man. No-one else seemed to be coming, and if someone did, he wouldn't be as forgiving.

He let out a short bark to get the crowd's attention. Cue improvisation. "Hello and welcome everyone. I'd like to thank you all for coming out today. As Bass mentioned at the meeting, you'll all be assigned a training partner. So when you hear their name, move to sit with them, have a small chat if you haven't already met them. You'll be working with them today and possibly in the future, so I strongly encourage you to meet with them sometime after this training and the next one." He quickly counted everyone - an even number. Perfect. "Hansel will be with Váli. Sandpiper will be with Decim. Lark will be with Quake. Liviana will be with Kakashi. Lillianna will be with Zell. Karabela will be with Dart." He tried to partner everyone with someone of a different age, different gender, and different rank. Hopefully everyone would be satisfied with these pairings. He gave them some time to resettle themselves and have a brief greeting. "Now that you know your partner, I would like to announce our first activity - melee spars. With your partner, you'll be fighting against another partnership. So discuss some tactics between each other, and I'll decide the groups." Then he gave them some more time to talk, maybe come up with a quirky team name. "Karabela and Dart will be versing Lark and Quake. Hansel and Váli will be versing Sandpiper and Decim. Lillianna and Zell will be versing Liviana and Kakashi. Remember, it's not about winning. Learning to cooperate with your partner is the key. Sometimes you may have to aid a pack-mate in war, so it's important to be able to work together with anyone." He paused, lifting his muzzle. "Go forth and start your spars when you're ready."

ooc: Let's get this training started! The pairs are as following: Karabela & Dart vs. Lark & Quake, Hansel & Váli vs. Sandpiper & Decim, Lilliana & Zell vs. Liviana & Kakashi. All spars must be started by the 22nd of August, only in this thread please. Two rounds with a three-day time limit unless negotiated otherwise with your group members. You may judge these when finished, though that's up to you.
