Aithne
I see how this is gonna go
Frustration rolls off Aithne like a physical thing, and she snarls as her lunge misses again. Okay, so maybe continuing to do the same thing over and over and expecting different results isn't her best plan, but what choice does she have given the current state of things? All she knows is that the next time she gets into an impromptu spar with Thalassa, she'd better be prepared. All she's shown with this pathetic display is that she's weak.
Snarling again, though it's aimed more internally than towards the captain, Aithne braces against the force of Thalassa's hand against her hide. The shove itself doesn't force the fyrund to move, but the draining impact of the other Ancient's magic has Aithne sidestepping, attempting to avoid further siphoning. When she thinks she's out of Thalassa's range, she shifts back into her Ancient form. Stooping, she picks up a rock that lies on the ground by her feet and heaves it towards her unwilling mentor with all her strength.
"Then help me be stronger!" she shouts, finally losing her temper. It isn't that she wants to be handed a win, but she does genuinely want to learn. Why can't Thalassa see that Aithne just wants to be like her?
