Of all the things Isla had expected in offering herself as their training dummy, so to speak, reluctance and worry had not been one of them. Perhaps she had been too hasty in her assumptions and plans; the last thing she wanted to do was make Jigano feel uncomfortable. "Well, I am able to... monitor myself, if you understand my meaning. I haven't had any injuries since I ascended, really, but I am reasonably confident that my body will be fine."
But it seemed Jigano was giving it much more thought (evidently) than Isla, and she folded her hands in her lap and smile to him apologetically. "The shrine in the Temple is not far away at all, so I would be able to make it should the worst happen. But... you are right, perhaps I ought to have given this more consideration. Please accept my apologies, Jigano. There are other ways we might train." So saying, she hopped off the bed and wheeled the little table with the tools on between them, offering for him to take one of the seats.
