"Oh, come on, Briar. It was just a spar. You still did well!" Briar huffed at her companion's insistence that she had done well in the spar she lost against Avantika in the tournament. She had put on a nice face for her opponent when she was declared the winner and had gone on through the rest of the festival just happy to be with Artorias while he was there, but once all the other wolves filtered away and she was left to her own thoughts she could only feel embarrassed by the fact that she had gotten kicked out in the first round of spars. She knew some of it was just luck or who happened to get the best attack in at the right time, but it was still a big blow to her pride. She'd lost in front of everyone, but most importantly in front of Artorias and her family. She had thrown herself into training the very next day and hadn't gone far from the training grounds since then. Marigold stuck somewhere close by most of the time, occasionally throwing her a tip or a recommendation as she beat up and tore apart training dummy after training dummy, but after two days straight even her antlered fox companion was beginning to grow tired of it and worried for the young woman. Briar wouldn't give herself any slack, not even when Marigold tried to assure her that she had plenty of justifiable reasons to be behind on her training if she really felt like she was. The Fatalis Princess knew she needed to be better. How was she possibly going to stand proudly next to Artorias if she couldn't even beat anyone in a spar? |
