what will you do when the vultures come for you, run and hide?
Aisha's chatting was cut short as some civilians began to join, those not emboldened with sibling's of arms as she was, just the will to learn. A satisfied grin set in as she watched them come, some bearing swords, some empty handed. They'd come to see what she and her fellow soldiers had to teach, and she planned on providing whatever knowledge she could.
A couple newcomers came by to speak with her. The first was tall with dark hair, vaguely reminiscent of the raven boy, though less gloomy in disposition. She grinned back as he greeted her, giving him a hearty clap on the shoulder, "It's what I'm here for," she winked, turning her attention to the other, a far more striking appearance with blue hair and forest green eyes.
This one spoke to the previous man, apparently they knew each other. That would work out, she'd pair them up for the trials ahead. She gave them a moment to chat, turning her attention to a friend to answer a quick question, then stepped back to address the group. Hands on hips, joyously confident, she set about it, "Welcome to the newly upgraded training grounds! I'm Aisha Khai, a member of the Shields and the facilitator for this session today."
"I think you all get why you're here so I'm not going too much into detail, but I'm going to be splitting you up into groups to pair with some of our experienced fighters, and you'll get to work with them for the day, sparring, learning stances, all that shit." From there the leopardess began to delegate, splitting up groups to go with different mentors, finally landing on Sah and Neos, "I'll start with you two," then she dismissed the gathered people to begin their individual training sessions.
On to her own charge, she had them spend some time warming up, showing them some basic stances and maneuvers; defense, offense, the best thrusts and the best strokes for beginners. Upon completion of the fundamentals, they were brought to some of the straw dummies. "First things first, I'll have you practice some swings on some targets yeah? Great, just show me what you know, extra points if head's roll." She shooed them on, showing them to their places and waiting for them to give what she'd taught a try.
Alright! We'll start with some practice, describe their attacks on the straw dummies, I'll be rolling for success. (there are some swords from the armory available if they need)
