Sensei

Ember had been intercepted by Corbin as she prepared for her combat lessons with her father. The message the raven brought to her surprised her and, if she was being honest, slightly disappointed her. She looked forward to her one on one lessons with Artorias, and to hear that another would be joining her meant she wouldn't get that time all to herself now. Was it selfish? A bit. But there was no protesting against her sire when he was the alpha and also the Hallows' premiere instructor when it came to all things sword fighting. So, with a bit of a harrumph, Ember gathered up the three sparring swords instead of two and made her way down to the training yard with Corbin.

When she arrived, the first thing she noticed was the new girl. Ember had no idea who she was, but she must have shown up with Ezra and Syanna, since she had the faint smell of both with her, and the smell of the Hallows on her meant she was no stranger or visitor from another pack. Her father was setting up a third dummy as she approached the arena and greeted her with a smile as she stepped up to the two, casting a sideways glance at the taller fae about her age, maybe a smidge older. Ember dropped all three swords to the sandy ground and dipped her head to her father. "Ready to begin, Dad!" she said and glanced up at the stranger next to her. "Who's she? A new student?" Ugh, she wasn't about to have to redo the remedial lessons because of this newcomer, was she?
