Salt nodded. ”That’s a likely scenario, seeing people take advantage of the recent battles. Well, getting into a fight when you expect it is one thing, but getting into fights in the wilderness usually comes without warning. So, why don’t we try one more thing, and then I’ll let you go about your day. “
The fighter walked over to where they had left the severed dummy arm and brought it to Lena, lying it at her feet. “Here you go, tend to this arm like you’re healing it. That’s something you’re likely to find yourself doing, right? I’m going to back away and circle you from about 30 feet away, and I’m going to attack you without warning, from an angle you’re not expecting. Let’s leave your sword, say, here” she placed Lena’s sword 10 feet away from her. “This is good practice for when you have your stuff in a pack close by but you don’t actually have something to defend yourself with on you. So, your goal is to survive my ambush, get to your sword, defend yourself, and either escape the battle or counter me and take me down. Sound like a plan?”
Even Salt wasn’t too sure what she was doing—this was her first time teaching after all. She couldn’t help but wonder if this was the best way to approach a practice like this, but she figured it couldn’t hurt to help this healer be more aware of her environment while in the field.
