[Training] when the sun goes down

Alys was not a violent person by nature, which was, perhaps, a shame, given that she had been born into the violent world of Caido. She'd always viewed the world through a realistic perspective, in which she knew that bad things existed and were possible, but she had been fortunate to avoid them. Still, she knew better than to rely on luck forever. Darkness was coming once more to Caido, and unlike in her past, she had more to fight for now.

So she moved and struck, and was satisfied when her blow landed squarely upon the dummy's jaw. But there was no time to pause and celebrate, hardly even time for her dark eyes to flicker to Deimos, searching for approval. For the dummy was moving once more, this time aiming for her right side, as though attempting to shove her out of the way. Her instinct was to try to move to free up her right side, seeing as it was her dominant side and therefore the one she had been punching with, and so she attempted to sidestep the dummy's approach, turning to the side to try and give herself room to maneuver. Sadly, this proved more challenging than Alys had anticipated, and her next punch - aiming for the dummy's jaw once more - missed.
