Luptă cu săbii

Getting to see her parents and wrestle with her dad a bit like old times had revived her a bit. It wasn't that she was unhappy here by any means, but she had admittedly been a little homesick. She was slowly but surely making The Hallows feel more like home, but she had never really made friends that weren't her family before moving here so it had been a new kind of challenge for her. The only familiar face for her was Ember, but she had left on a diplomacy mission or something of that sort shortly after she got settled in so she had mostly been left to her own devices. She'd found her own kind of routine of taking a run on the beach in the early to mid morning before she did some training or a patrol. Sometimes she'd find someone to train with, sometimes she'd do it on her own, but either way it had been nice to have a couple of things lined up each day that made her feel like she was making progress.

She finished up her run and made her way back up toward the castle, pausing for a bit in the garden to grab a drink and sit in the shade to cool off. She had mostly adjusted to Auster's heat by now, but the Auster summer was still a bit muggy and heavy for her taste. As she was sitting there though she happened to catch the distinctive sound of fighting–more accurately what sounded like a sword or something similar hitting what she imagined was one of the training dummies. Enough of the wolves around this pack had swords that the sound of their training was very familiar.

Well, that was convenient! Training was certainly more enjoyable with a partner than training alone. She got up and gave her coat a shake before trotting over to the training grounds and to her surprise she found Ember was the one she had heard training. She knew Ember had come back for the bonfire festival, but she hadn't realized that she'd be staying for a bit longer. She happened to walk up as Ember was taking a break so she walked over, saying, "Always training, even on your days off, huh?" with a grin. She glanced over at the training dummy that was practically in ribbons already and added jokingly, "Jeeze, what did that guy do?"
