Melita
Eating fire is your ambition
to swallow the flame down

Melita didn’t have any other staffs available, not when she had the one Ludo had entrusted to her. Still rifling through her bag, just in case, her nose wrinkled slightly. “I don’t have any extra of those, but if you want to snag a really big stick,” and here she rose back to her full height, gaze looking out over potential driftwood or lines against the beach, where jungle exploits might have had a fallen branch or two, “Over there might have a good one.” She pointed in the direction, intending to wait until Lilliane returned with what she needed.
The youth didn’t bother to comment on the last line. She might’ve done the same, once, but she’d learned her lesson many times when it came to predators, enemies, and adversaries.

She shrugged her shoulders at the Grounds’ implications. “Eh, most don’t bother me here at all,” probably because she had a preceding reputation as either one of Jack’s, being constantly armed to the teeth, mildly feral, or a loose cannon. All of this suited her just fine.
When Lilliane returned with whatever she could find, Melita began her warm-ups again, though slowed down and modified. “We want to make sure the muscles are stretched for using a staff,” and she began to maneuver it back and forth, from one hand to the other, over callouses long since instigated across her skin.
