He didn't have to wait long before the first one arrived. Crimson gaze rose to see Tyranis approaching, and his teeth flashed in a quick grin. "I agree, nephew." He was glad that he was now able to say that. When he'd first met Tyranis and joined the youth's pack, he had kept it secret so he could leave it up to Elias to decide if he wanted them to know or not. He couldn't wait to get started, to see if Ty had improved since the last time they sparred. Next entered another one of his nephew's, one he hadn't yet met or talked to, but he knew about him enough to put a name to a face. "We're doing fight training today," He answered, wondering if that would pique their interest. Next up were two lambs who would receive a scrutinizing look, followed by a few other members he had yet to meet, and lastly, another nephew who seemed quite excited to be by his brother's side again. He waited a bit longer to see if anyone else would arrive, but after a while when nobody else did, he frowned. He knew there were more members than this. Perhaps he ought to speak to his brother about the missing individuals later...
Standing up, he moved from one side of the circle to the other, all while keeping his gaze on those that had gathered. After a few moments, he returned to his spot at the head of the group. "Right, thank you all for coming. Today we are going to do some fight training, which is also going to include a spar for each of you. The purpose of today's lesson is to ensure that everyone knows how to defend themselves in the event of an enemy attack. And I do mean everyone." Gaze fell upon the lambs, wondering how they would react to what he said. Surely they wouldn't protest, right? And if they did? Well, he supposed he'd leave it up to the imagination for now. The eyeless one, however, would be interesting to watch. How the hell did she manage to survive so long the way she was? It sort of intrigued him, and he wanted to see how well she would fare...if at all.
"For those of you who don't know who I am, my name is Acere Praetor, Ruina's Judge. I assume you all understand Ruina's culture and our way of life, and fighting is very much a part of it. Whether you are here by choice or not, you must participate. As a member of Ruina, you are required to do what is asked of you, and failure to do so well...that's not something you want to find out. So do yourselves a favor, hm?" He let that sink in for a few moments, allowing time for questions or concerns before continuing. "Right, so one thing I'd like to do, is pair you up. There's enough of you to each have a partner, so I'll pair you all up shortly. First things first..." He eyed them all, leaving a long pause between his words, Does anyone object to today's training?" It was more of a rhetorical question, but he asked to see who would have to possibly be weeded out.
OOC//Sorry for such a late reply, didn't mean to. Next round due by 9/15. The sooner the better, however. Ace's next reply will address anyone who speaks as well as randomly pairing up partners. Latecomers are still welcome (though Ace won't be too pleased).
