He and his clothes were a bit tattered from the hike to the ruins and the practice he was doing. He had a large, heavy stick in hand, whacking it against a solid column among the ruins. He was practicing his strikes, a few turns and dodges here and there. His form was aggressive and overconfident but, his strikes were accurate and the stick cracked against the stone. It spoke of the force put behind it. In that moment, something caught beneath his boot and he slipped. He stumbled down onto a nearby rock with a grunt but, it was nothing serious.

Getting up so that he could properly greet her, he pulled his hood completely back and offered an embarrassed smile. His skin was flushed from exercise and embarrassment. "Uh, hi! I really hope you didn't see that..."
