Lethal combination

Caelia was a bit nervous herself, though likely for entirely different reasons. While she wasn't necessarily worried about the actual fights, she was worried about not doing as good as she possibly could - the thought of disappointing herself, or even someone else within Valhalla, was a very real worry. She'd been practicing quite a bit lately but generally she was faced with a loss, which was always disappointing, no matter how hard she tried to remind herself she simply needed more practice. Hopefully this would help with those worries.

Her attention turned to the male that approached, offering him a smile, one that was clearly tight-lipped but polite enough just the same. "I am," Caelia acknowledged with a nod of her head. Who was this guy, anyway? Her gaze skimmed over him, wondering how familiar he was with fighting. He was considerably older than her, even older than Aurielle, so she had to think he'd learned a thing or two in his life, right? Hopefully. "I'm Caelia Adravendi. The first move's yours." With that, the female braced herself for whatever attack he might have planned, widening her stance and letting her muscles tense in anticipation.
