We are the future

ooc: Thanks for joining in everyone! I'd like to get this thread to three rounds as an actual lesson and then we'll break out into individual spars - double the opportunity for points! Next post will be due September 4th, but I'll post again before then if everyone replies before the 4th. We don't necessarily need to follow an exact posting order. Just post whenever you can!

Seeing Resin arrive first immediately calmed her nerves and pulled a smile to her face. She easily returned the kiss she was given and she gave the larger woman a grateful smile to the reassurance she was given. "Thanks, I hope you're right," she replied with a chuckle before looking to see who else would join them. Only a moment later Aslatiel appeared beside them, questioning what they would be doing. Tamsyn smiled and replied, "A bit of fighting training! I'll explain everything after everyone else gets here." And soon enough they did. Everyone responded very quickly and for that she was grateful. She was afraid that she'd have Students that wouldn't show, but it didn't seem like any of their fighting inclined Students had done that. There was even a few full fledged Warriors that appeared as well and she was extra grateful for their participation.

She greeted everyone with a nod as they approached, first to Dunkan and Indigo and then an extra grin given to Natha when she appeared. Good, both of the Lieutenants had joined in for the training as she had hoped. Sirius had been pretty insistent on bringing some experienced fighters with her if they were going to be out of the pack's lands and she felt like this more than covered that requirement. Sedna joined in as well and she was soon followed by a male that Tam wasn't familiar with. She looked to the brown-hued male curiously and he was kind enough to introduce himself before she had to ask for his name. She gave him a smile and a nod, replying, "Welcome, Adralius! Thank you for joining us." The more familiar face of Naiche came next with yet another new face bringing up the rear. The younger woman introduced herself as well and Tamsyn offered her a smile. "Welcome, Kaizer! I'm glad to see some new faces - this will be a great chance for you and Adralius to get to know your fellow Warriors."

She gave it just another moment or two to make sure that everyone that had wanted to join had and then she gave a nod of finality and turned her attention to the small crowd ahead of her. She was pleased with how many had decided to attend. "Okay! I guess we'll get started then. To our new members, my name is Tamsyn. I'm the General for the Armada. We're going to be training in fighting today... but not here. We're going to take a bit of a field trip." She grinned and got to her paws and nodded over her shoulder. "If everyone will follow me, I'll take you to where we'll be training today."

With that she turned and made her way though the willow trees and away from the Armada's borders. It wasn't a long walk to get to the other side of the cluster of willow trees and then they passed into the Lover's Mangroves. The trees grew closer together here and didn't leave a lot of space to move - or at least not nearly as much as they were used to in the plains. A good portion of what space was left between the trees was obstructed with streams and puddles and was fairly damp in general. It was the complete opposite of the neat, open environment of the training areas they used by the beach so it would do very well for the lesson she wanted to teach today.

Once they reached a small clearing that she had picked out before hand during her scouting with Sirius she paused and turned to face everyone, giving them a moment to gather around before she began to speak. "As most of you have experienced by now, raids are a fairly common thing for the Armada. It's something that I want us to continue to work on and be prepared for. Just because our last raid was successful doesn't mean that we can ease up on our training." She paused as Blue leapt from her back and climbed up into the tree that was beside her, giving the black lemur a glance before continuing on. "This also means that we need to be ready to fight in any terrain. Not every pack is going to live in pretty, open plains that have lots of room to move. We need to be ready to face whatever we find when we get there. Today, these mangroves are going to act as our unusual, uneven terrain."

She paused before giving a nod toward the trees around them. "Give yourselves a moment to scout out the area and get pick out what you think might be a challenge for you when it comes to fighting. That's something we would do before launching an attack on a pack so it's realistic to the scenario we're trying to create here. Once you're done scouting come back here and I'll give you your next instructions." With that she let them go, giving Resin a glance and a smile to see what her lover thought of the training so far.
