Zavien
Still unaware of her lacking enthusiasm, Zavien grinned. "Then you came at the perfect time! I was just getting warmed up." At the option of method, he shrugged his shoulders. "The sword is my primary weapon, but I'm happy to practice anything." He didn't mention that hand-to-hand combat with a woman made him slightly uncomfortable, but he didn't want to offend her. After all, he respected women and their physical prowess more than most. He wasn't afraid to admit that Anju had easily beat him. However, the close physical proximity gave him pause.
Glancing between the redhead and her companions, Zavien nodded at each in turn. "It's a pleasure to meet you all. Any friend of Koa's is a friend of mine." His smile stayed warm and welcoming, genuine in everything he said and did. Walking over to his cup of water off to the side, he took a sip and indicated to the benches. "You can place any extra gear here, and your companions are also welcome to wait here in the shade if they'd like." He didn't know if vampire gourds liked shade, but it was available if they wanted.
Zavien took another sip of the cool liquid before returning to the center of the sandy training pit. Stretching his arms out, he prepared to face off in whatever manner Melita preferred. With his arm pulled across his body, he said, "Just let me know when you're ready."

I learned that in suffering,
we find the true measure of our strength.
