[BCOLOR=transparent]Lyssa stood alone in the training grounds, tearing a practice dummy to bits as she trained in preparation for the battle tomorrow. A hammer blow was followed up with a snap of her fingers that precluded her summoned swords hurtling into the straw man, ending with an orb of light that set the dummy ablaze as soon as it made impact. Planting her hammer into the ground, Lyssa stepped back and overlooked her handiwork, frowning. This was pointless. If she wanted to improve, she'd need an actual spar. Too bad for her that no one seemed to be around. [/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]Too bad Aesil was hungry. It had only been a day or two since she left the lap of luxury that was the Palace, but she was already missing the nigh-infinite amount of fish and rice she was able to consume there. More importantly, though, she missed the fact that she could wear blankets in weird ways and that would be considered an acceptable attire for just about any situation. Kanade's clothes-shopping spree involving the beast girl had only ended up with Aesil feeling way too antsy, and, with that in mind, she headed towards the training field. At least, over there, she could switch from eating bricks to eating straw dummies.[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]When she arrived at those barren fields, it appeared that the only other person present was Lyssa, the knight lady with the hammer. Good. She had only been noticing it recently, but it slightly bothered her when people were surprised at her eating habits.[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]"Hello," she said, with a nod. Maybe the knight had some snacks to offer.[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]"Aesil." Lyssa returned the nod, putting out the fire she had created by smashing what was left of the dummy with her hammer. "Let me guess, hungry again?" [/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]"How you know?" She asked, tilting her head to the side in honest surprise.[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]"Because you seem to always be hungry." Lyssa responded, a resigned grin on her face. And then her eyebrows shot up in surprise as an idea popped up in her head. "Say...tell you what. Spar with me for a round and I'll get you some food. How does that sound?" [/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]"Spar?"[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]"You know, fighting, but not to kill? I was told you had a trainer for this."[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]"Playing? Ok." Then, Aesil blinked. "How much is 'some'?"[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]"I still have some bacon in my quarters. Enough for two days' meals, I suppose." [/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]"Ok. You go first?"[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]Nodding, Lyssa took her place on the training ground, standing across from Aesil. Raising her free hand, she conjured a few swords of light and sent them flying towards Aesil, making sure to tone down their power so as to not accidentally kill the girl. [/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]Aesil watched the swords of light with some interest as they sped towards her. They weren't as brilliant as they had been when Lyssa was tossing around her light magic against that one martial artist person she had eaten, and, well...that interest became disappointment. Not playing seriously wasn't fun, after all.[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]Stepping in between the gaps left by the projectiles, Aesil brought up a hand, palm facing upwards, and then curled and uncurled her fingers.[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]Frowning, Lyssa raised her hammer, enveloping it in a shroud of light. Perhaps taking it so easy on Aesil was ill-advised, considering how well the girl handled herself in a fight. Leaping up, she drove her hammer down towards Aesil. [/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]Aesil's instinct was to leap away as Lyssa fell from the sky, but her knowledge was to stay as close as possible. If this sort of attack scared her off, she'd never be able to catch the attention of whatever other massive monsters that were going to be sent after Kanade. Rasoba had taught her to stay close, and make her the most obvious target, so that was exactly what she was going to do. Sidestepping the cratering blow from Lyssa's hammer, Aesil looked down at the knight.[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]"Faster please."[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]Lyssa narrowed her eyes as she summoned forth her wings of light in a golden blaze.[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]"Fine, you want it? You have it." [/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]Oooh...shiny...but still nothing compared to Efrida's aura, Kanade's song, or Konyuu's divine arms. Still standing where she was, Aesil waited for Lyssa to act once more, going out of her way to motion the knight to continue.[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]Lyssa charged, flapping her wings to increase her speed as she rushed at Aesil with a swipe of her hammer. [/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]Still not close. This time, Aesil opted to step backwards, just far enough that the tip of the hammer almost grazed her chest. Another motion for Lyssa to continue was done, as she wondered how long it would take Lyssa to finally hit her.[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]The armored girl sighed, narrowing her eyes. Well, at least this experience was teaching her something: she really needed to get better at fighting enemies faster than her. Honestly, if this was an actual battle, she'd probably just try to collapse a building on a speedy foe, but that wasn't exactly feasible here. Roaring, she charged forward, putting all her effort in trying to hit Aesil.[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]Aesil approved of Lyssa's roar, and...yeah, ok.[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]Another whiffed attack, and the beast girl decided that she needed someone faster to practice dodging against. [/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]"My turn now."[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]Clenching her fist like Rasoba had instructed her to do, Aesil pivoted off her left foot, turning to the side as Lyssa passed her. Stomping down and launching herself with her right foot next, she reciprocated Lyssa's roar with her own, as she slammed her fist into the knight lady's back.[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]Lyssa grunted as she took the shot, her armor absorbing most of the blow. Whirling around, she raised her free hand and moved to grab Aesil's outstretched wrist while she was occupied. [/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]Aesil was surprised to see Lyssa take the attack so well, and couldn't help but smile as the knight's attempt to grab her was almost successful. Pulling her hand away from Lyssa's, the Beast of Goetia mimicked her opponent's actions once more, lashing out with her spare hand to grab onto the knight's hammer.[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]As Aesil gripped Lyssa's hammer, Lyssa yanked back tightly on the weapon, trying to take Aesil off balance before she threw a gauntleted fist into her chest. [/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]A surprise, and then a hit, strong enough that Aesil felt bile rush up her throat as she doubled over from the strength of Lyssa's punch. In that instant, her eyes widened, her hunger sharpened, and her mouth opened, but just as suddenly, she clamped her jaws shut, taking the tip of her tongue out with it. Inside her mouth, she drowned those hungering thoughts out with pain and blood, until she could breathe normally again and stand up.[/BCOLOR]
[BCOLOR=transparent]"Wow, congratulations," she said with a lisp, her toothy smile full of blood and saliva, "Food now?"[/BCOLOR]
