[Training] these same four walls

Dance with the waves, move with the sea,

Thal nodded her head in mute agreement. She might have brought up that she wasn't against any displays of blood, but then they were flinging sharp objects, and that took most of her attention. Because dang this woman was fast. Despite her own speed, she wouldn't stand a chance in hand-to-hand. Luckily, daggers weren't quite as hard to follow or dodge. With the first attacks out of the way, she was already painfully aware of their differences in skill, especially as Flora recalled one of the daggers. 

No, she couldn't do that, and it annoyed her more than a little bit. She'd been considering asking Dygra for such a modification, and her current experience just made it all the more enticing. However, she'd have to think about that later, when she wasn't trying to avoid getting poisoned. For now, Thal settled for giving the woman a humorless smile. The next poisoned knife heading her way proved difficult to dodge, but she jumped, throwing her blade at Flora's feet to move her away from her first dagger. Once her opponent moved, she slid into her landing, scooping her weapon from the sand before standing to strike again. The spray of sand had her squinting to protect her eyes. It made her look more menacing than intended, not that it was a bad thing.
