MAEA
Wide awake in bed, words in my brain
"Secretly you love this, do you even wanna go free?"
"Secretly you love this, do you even wanna go free?"
There was nothing like a good spar to blow off steam and figure out what your flaws were in a fight. Considering how outnumbered she had felt lately, Maea figured it couldn't hurt to try and ameliorate that particular deficiency in herself. Reaching out to anyone she could think of that might be up for some joint training, she found herself overlooking the warm-ups one balmy Longheat morning, early enough that the real heat of the day had yet to kick in.
"So, I was thinking we could take turns to stand in the middle and defend, and the rest will work together to attack. And since it'll be a mess, let's just use fists - the point is getting used to being attacked from multiple directions at once."
Ensuring that she too was good and warmed up, Maea volunteered as the first person to defend. Grinning enthusiastically at the others, she withdrew to the center of the training area where there was open space, and readied herself for the upcoming melee. Her hands felt a bit strange without either chakram or the new glaive, unused to fighting bare-handed, but it did leave the mind open to focus on things like positioning, cooperation and situational awareness. For her, the focus was to remain on her feet and avoid 'lethal' damage. For the others, not getting in each other's way might prove a challenge in itself.
"Are you ready? Let's go!"
