[PQ] all the scarred, all the beautiful

what will you do when the vultures come for you, run and hide?

Ah, maybe it was beginners luck that struck the new swordsman, maybe it was Neos choosing a new weapon, or maybe the tides of battle had turned on their own. In any capacity, Aisha watched another well played spar, proud of both what she taught them today, and what was their own potential. They once again leapt at each other, dodging and swinging, employing tactics they'd forged on their own.

That was really what she'd hoped to see; them use her knowledge to create their own masterpieces, carefully and precisely, and with a dash of rashness. The new blade served Neos well, far quicker, smarter. Where Sah tried to evade he eventually couldn't, and Neos did not relent. It was a sloppy end, one that used a bit more fist than a fair sword fight would call for, but it wasn't something Aisha would scold.

Sah's blade hit the ground, Aisha grinned as they finished. It seemed fair, a fitting end to their trials, their lessons. "Looks like you're even," she said, walking over to meet them both. "Both of you have done great today, and I really appreciate that you came. I'm kinda making it my job to provide lessons in swordsmanship, so stop by the barracks anytime if you want to learn more."

"You're free to practice some more with the others here, you know where to find us."
