[PRP-Discord Log-] Even Flows [Gundisalv x Blanche]

[krusnik05]

It seemed as though the Grand Weaver blessed Mirro te Weavia with endless sunshines and warm weather especially when Gundisalv mediated at the edge of the training grounds on the other side of the lake where he ensured that all of his recruits so far had a space to train their minds, body's and souls away from civilians. The armored Brave Leader looked out over the great expanse of the water that was the life source to all of them, not just the water tribers but to the rest of the world around them. The soft breeze kicked off from the surface of the waters and cooled the warm fur from the large Tah while his companion Vetersalv took the opportunity from his master's meditation to slumber peacefully.

Gundisalv tilted his head to the side ever so slightly when he felt within himself that always curious yet familiar instinctive sensation within his soul that something was going to change again. The Brave Tah narrowed his eyes slightly and felt as though he needed to do something...Aside from seek out the status of potential recruit in Tyra.....there was something else. Something good was going to happen and Gundisalv was almost always right with his instincts. It was just a matter of waiting patiently

[Blanche (Ice_Dragon_Demon)]

Blanche made her way to the training grounds in top form, her companion pararoo perched carefully on her back. She'd trained articuno specifically to help her have eyes in the air during a battle she could single the pararoo with different motions of her paw. The Pararoo would respond. It was something she was quite proud of. Though she'd yet to test it in a real battle. She had no doubt it would work quite well. She seemed to have a gift with creatures.

Blanche tough as she was, was not a water tribe brave; yet. It was something Blanche aspired to, she was intelligent and a tactical thinker, but she trained herself and her companion. She enjoyed the library thoroughly when she wasn't training learning all she could. Never knew when a single piece of knowledge would be the the difference between dying and narrowly avoiding it. The nan made her way to the training grounds. her head held formally high. One must always be alert as a soldier. Articuno jumped off her back and cawed landing in the tree nearby Gundislav.

the brave leader was here. Naturally Blanche had seen him from a distance while she trained herself. Right now he didn't seem to be training physically. Meditation instead it seemed like. Blanche strode forward much like a solder. It Just felt natural to her, Blanche paused a respectful distance away. "General Gundisalv." she spoke formally announcing herself, though the older and more experience Tah, probably had already been aware of the nan's presence.  

[krusnik05]

A deep breath entered through his being that connected him to the elements around him. The coolness of the water, the warmth of the sun, the strength of the earth and the flow of the wind wrapped around him and opened him to the energies and presences. He could feel his companion shift and lift it's head up with a thoughtful look that followed the sudden shadow of a paroo who landed on the tree closest to them and gave a caw of alert. Gundisalv turned his head to look at the newcomer with a raised brow but bowed his head respectfully to the Nan. "Welcome to the Brave training grounds." He said respectfully in his deep timbre then turned his attention to the water while Vetersalv looked at the Nan as well and dropped his head but there was an alertness in his eyes. The Brave Leader looked over the position of the Nan and nodded. "You carry yourself well. Tell me your name and purpose, Nan." Gundisalv gave his full attention while his instincts told him...this was the change.

[Blanche]

"Thank you Sir, For your most gracious welcome." The Nan returned the bow respectfully in greeting "Your words honor me General." she was please she had impressed him even a little, The magus general was quite something himself still having quite an imposing aura despite meditating peacefully, she swore she could feel his aura surrounding the entire area it almost made her hesitant. she made sure to keep her stern face though despite what she felt inside. "General Sir, My name is Blanche, Lake minded, I Seek to join your braves Sir!" She said formally "the Paroo in the tree is my companion Arcticuno." Blanche made a motion by flicking one of her ears and the paroo immediately without hesitation soared over and landed carefully on her back so that the general might get a look at her friend.  

[krusnik05]

The Brave leader bowed his head deeply then listened attentively to the Nan that presented herself and her paroo companion as potential recruits. Gundisalv narrowed his eyes slightly on Blanche then on Articuno before he spoke again. "You seek to join the Braves. That is very bold and serious to state, Nan Blanche. Is there anything you already know about the Braves?" The Leader asked wanting to know where he may begin to help her understand the seriousness of wanting to join the Braves through honesty while also letting her understand that he was dedicated to this path in life and that he expected the same of her as he expected it of his Brave Soldiers who have established themselves already while others have yet to become official members of the Brave Patrol Corps. Yet as that went through his mind, another thought followed those important ones as he glanced once more at the paroo having taken note that it obeyed the Nan by a signal and was obedient to stay on her back. That was interesting.  

[krusnik05]

[Blanche]Blanche gave the general her full attention waiting until he was finished before giving her answer. "Indeed it is General," The nan agreed solemnly, she had given it very serious thought before coming to her decision. This was where she knew she could serve and protect her tribe the best. Blanche was neither tanner, nor crafter though her critical quick thinking mind could serve her tribe in other ways this was what she honestly preferred. "Sir I have researched thoroughly all recorded material on the braves in Mirro te Weavia's extensive Library, I have learned the ranks, tactics and current recruits of the Braves." She spared no expense during her research. "The chronicler's were quite detailed before their departure." Blanche added, she quite enjoyed having her nose in a book. Knowledge was something most water tribe balam prided themselves on, Blanche was similar in that respect to many however, that was not all there was. Still standing in perfect form "General, despite my hours of research I have not allowed myself become physically complacent. I have a strict training regiment I do routinely." Blanche's Pararoo regarded Gundislav curiously but remained where it was.

"General," she continued speaking with the utmost respect. "If you wish to judge my physical prowess I would humbly request a duel." She would prove herself capable.  

[krusnik05]

This was going to be interesting. It was the first time that anyone asked him for a duel to prove themselves worthy. With their great minds it made them proficient in communication and logic it pleased him to know that she took care of her mind to know the knowledge and to further it. It was also pleasing to hear that she took care of her physical state as well given that being in the military even during peace times, because they were peaceful by nature first and foremost, they needed to be well versed and physically equipped to handle any situation that would be stressful on the body. They needed to be able to react without a second thought to protect to fight when they least expect it. The large Tah stood up, towering with his armor glinting in the sun and the armor capes waved with the wind before settling down. "If a duel is what you wish for then I will grant it however there are other manners in which to test your physical prowess." He stated calmly before furrowing his brows in seriousness. "It is neither beneath me nor above me to not hold back against you as the enemy will not be conscience of such things except for the intent to destroy. I have no intention to harm you but I will not be easy if this is the path you truly wish to walk towards." Gundisalv spoke wisely as he began to remove his armor to set down to the sit carefully while his wotter looked between the b'alam with more interest now as if he understood what was going on between them. Vetersalv licked his maw and began to get up to move out of the way....especially to see if he could lay on one of those armor capes.

[Blanche]

His words were wise and true and blanche believed very much the same. after hearing his words Blanche gave the Tah General a bow "I expected nothing less General Sir." Blanche then signaled the pararoo to a perch nearby. the creature obeyed and watched Blanche slipped the cloth that adorned her shoulders off as well and placed it carefully to the side. Blanche turned fully facing Gundislav full of determination. "Requesting a duel against a much stronger and seasoned opponent and expecting to win is foolishness itself Sir." She knew well she wouldn't win, she didn't expect to but she would give it her best and perhaps earn his respect or something of the like. Gundislav was in a league of his own he was a magus blessed by the weaver and Blanche respected him greatly. "I hope to at the very least offer you some challenge."  

[krusnik05]

Gundisalv watched as Blanche directed her paroo to leave her back to a safe height in the trees while she placed her garments to the side so that she may face him as equal as possible. While he was a Magus and was large in comparison to the rest of the citizens, Gundisalv knew his mind and his heart in that such a size different would never be used to his advantage. However, neither was he going to sell himself or Blanche short of a good opportunity to know prepare one self in facing someone larger or smaller than themselves.

The Magus stood there calm, cool and collected with a passive expression that showed no emotion, not from his eyes nor did a twitch of his muscles, ears or tail give way to his thoughts. "In warfare, anything is possible. A small stream has the capability of becoming a great river. To believe that one would not be able to overcome an opponent of great skills is foolish. You little stream have the capability to become a great river." Gundisalv bowed his head but his eyes became sharp and ice cold. "Challenge yourself while I assist you to prove and believe that you are a great river."

I apologize deeply for not transferring this one into this thread for it to be counted >___<

Gundisalv watched Blanche's movements and noted that she was not going straightforward but was measuring her own steps while calculating what strengths and weaknesses he may present to make her plans. Good. The magus wanted his soldiers to never rush head first into any situation or battle without knowing what sort of odds were in their favor or if they ought to fight defensively or offensively. Gundisalv crouched slightly low with his head and shoulders lowered and his forelegs in front of him while his tail curled above his hips defensively then reached with his left paw to swipe at Blanche yet leaving his right side open for any hurt of the Nan. The Tah wanted to know what she would do when her opponent gave such an opening....and more than anything he wanted to feel the power behind her attack. There was a difference in attacking for defense and to destroy.....Guni wanted to know with what mindset she attacked with even with this sparring match.
