The cool night air was not as cold as it was in the more northerly regions in Leafchange, for which Hadama was quietly grateful. He wore a sturdy vest in acknowledgment of the changing temperatures, but his arms were still bare as he began to warm up. Zavien's answer drew an approving nod from the Mer King, however, and he settled into a defensive stance with his weapon held in guard. "It is good to hear that you seek Safrin's blessing." Emerald eyes caught the moonlight and twinkled with a reflection of distant stars. "I am honored to help."
A slight shake of his head was the answer to Zavien's question. "Speed and endurance. But nothing specific." Training against the Dragoon's sword would provide all that he needed. It was enough to test their skills together, to learn how each other fought for when - not if - they found themselves shoulder-to-shoulder against the Void.
Once again Hadama found himself in the position of being tasked with making the first move; it was not his preferred style, but stepping outside his comfort zone was an important aspect of training, too. He nodded briefly, considering Zavien's weapon and reach, and then spun his trident so that the blunt end faced his opponent and struck forward with a simple but powerful thrust aimed just below the Dragoon's rib cage.
