“Little lamb little lamb with fleece as white as snow, every where the halloweeners were a lamb is sure to go…” The twist on the song was a bit morbid he’d admit, but Marcus figured it was appropriate. The lambs would probably be taken on a mentally scarring mission soon enough and be forced to face the reality that was a hunter’s life. Death early and probably brutally. Fun times to be had by all.
The training dummy was taking a bit of a beating as Marcus practiced his downwards slash. Dis had been trying to guide his moves but had likened Marcus’s skill to ‘A half drowned kirinni’ whatever that was.
A really stupid derpish deer thing.
Lovely.
What marcus would have preferred would have been a partner to put his attacks into practice. But no one was out, and he wasn’t sure if people would be up for it with the lambs newly awake.

"Wut is wit' all y'all an' yer singin' 'bout lambs? Lately it's all Ah here whenever Ah leave mah room." Ofelia spoke up as she walked into the area, sort of wanting to give a fair warning to Marcus on her approach. He was hacking away at a dummy with his weapon and the last thing she wanted to do was end up stabbed with it somehow. Sudden injuries seemed stupid and pointless if they could be avoided, even if Ofelia didn't mind getting hurt. Pain never really burned her too much, not after losing her eye, but she didn't exactly seek it out. "Ah take it there's gonna be sommin' amazin' happenin' ta us soon an' yer part of the group jus' waitin' fer the results?"
She paused her walking about four feet away from her, stopping to cross her arms beneath her chest. Marcus was still very much new to her, seeing as Ofelia had met him once or twice at the little weird parties, so all she knew was his name and not much else. It seemed like no one around the place actually wanted to get to know the new people very well, or at least not just yet.

The sound of a heavily accented voice made Marcus pause mid swing. Ah so "Get yourself lost on your way to the pasture?" He smiled. "It's a name. When me and the first batch of trainees showed up were got called the strays. The second group was dubbed the hatchlings. Now you get the title of lambs. Think of it like a very light hazing. Don't worry however, the actual hazing will happen sooner or later."
Swinging dis over his shoulder, Marcus shrugged. "To be honest, the first mission with the hatchlings? We picked up rotting dead bodies in the desert. Us Strays? Put into a situation where many of us thought we were going to die. You lambs? No idea what's in store. Probably some mental scarring to toughen your skin or some s**t. Speaking of-" The blade glowed blue. "Care to put your weapon to the test?"

The amount of knowledge Ofelia had in regards to battling could be counted on a single hand (and have fingers left over - namely four fingers left over) but that wasn't going to stop the teen from taking up the offer. A battle sounded like just what she needed to take the stress off - she was getting annoyed with all this talk of 'what' and 'when', so she grinned and nodded her head. "Ah'm always ready ta have ya show me yer moves."
The bracelet around her wrist seemed to snap and disappear, two large and sharp knuckledusters appearing on her hands only seconds later. Ofelia flexed her fingers inside the grips and shook her wrists a bit, letting herself get adjusted to Rue's weight.
Ya ready, Rue?
Do not address me so casually hick, and you know I am. I have little choice in what we do as a result of your stupidity.
Either way they were going to battle and Ofelia smirked, smacking her palms together. Brawls were fun.

So, we shall be picking on the little stray lambs today?
Why not?
Indeed, try to cut open her top like you were-
That is not the point of fighting newbies.
Funsucker.
Bloodsucker
Always and forever.
Marcus rolled his eyes. "Sorry, pervy weapon likes to make idiotic suggestion anyway, very nice." A define physical close combat fight is what this looked like it would be. "Come at me."

"Well, here Ah come." Ofelia wasn't much for words when it came to brawls, she'd shed blood more than her fair share of time over that damn shed, and she lowered herself down and dashed at Marcus. a last minute sweep of her arm sent her fist upwards but her timing was odd, the tip of Rue's blade barely nicking at her opponent. "Fuu."
Focus, hick. Focus.
Shuffit.

Marcus smiled as she got a small hit on him. "Nicely done. Now, one good thing about sparring is that we don't often draw blood, not unless we're idiots and keep attacking well over our physical limits or taking blows when our FEAR shield is down. So best advice is when you think you're close to down and out while sparring it to bow out. I almost killed someone once. It didn't feel cool, mostly since I consider him a friend."
Dis purred the suggestion to god for her legs, one which prove marginally successful.

Ofelia nodded her head, mostly listening, when she forgot to think that he was actually going to attack her back. His blade came down and got her legs, sending her stumbling backwards. She wasn't prepared for much more so she actually hit the ground, stunning herself enough that she couldn't attack.
Well, not couldn't, didn't. She instead pushed herself back up to her feet, nodding towards Marcus. They could die doing something like this? Bring it on. "Ah accept yer challenge."

"Good. Now, try to keep you balance when you're targeted. Don't tense up when taking a hit, or when making one. Let the weapon do the work." Dis muttered something about lazy hunters but Marcus went on. "Over time, you'll figure out what works and what doesn't. What doesn't work for me is blocking, a weak point. What I am good at is stabbing." Slashing at her, he missed.
"Stabbing? much better at."

"Focus, got it." Yeah, Ofelia really didn't get the concept of focus too much. What she did understand was that she just wanted to make contact and have some fun, so she switched her weight a bit and decided to swing with her left hand rather than her right. The results showed as she made contact, her hit going for his left shoulder in an effort to get around his weapon.
You don't think much when fighting, do you? Not really a stretch from your common activities though. Rue's voice piped in as Ofelia swung, almost distracting her. I swear to you though if we hurt him badly I will find a way to keep you up all night.
Ofelia was going to take the risk and positioned herself to punch again.

Grunting as the claw dug into his FEAR shield, Marcus smiled. "Nice attack. Now, by any chance, has anyone told you how our FEAR shields work?" Marcus was going to guess no, given how no one told him until a long while later. "If you're notice, you hit me, yet, no blood. Care to guess what happens when an abomination hits us?" He swung wide, missing her arm.

"Ah haven't got a single clue." Ofelia only knew about Fear Shield from her battle with Robert and she'd promised him not to talk about it for some reason. Where all these spars like Fight Club or something? Never the less she ducked as Marcus swung at her and returned the move with an uppercut of her own, barely making contact with his flesh.
"Ah guess we just hang in there until our shield drops or sommin'?"

He chuckled, even as she got him. "They do just what our weapons do. They pass through us, but, the take away the FEAR shield out weapons make for us. Without out weapon's we're like any human, weak and unable to fight back. With them we can fight those freaks on equal ground, and we fight until we're told to retreat, they die or we die. Simple as that."
Marcus felt Dis telling him to cut the chatter and get back to actual sparring. "Out weapons feed off of their FEAR, not our own, so it's a handy tool in fighting them." Stabbing at her, he smiled. So much better with thrusting that slashing.

Even though she wasn't really getting hurt Ofelia still wasn't so sure she liked this whole false pain thing that seemed to come with all this smacking and hitting. She knew she was throwing back the same amount of pain whenever she punched around and, in the back of her head, she could hear Rue moan.
Yessss, yess. It's time, do it.
Urrrr? Ofelia sort of figured what her Weapon wanted, but she kept at it, trying to stay defensive. She was already hurting like hell from just a few hits.

Marcus on the other hand, was fine more or less. She'd gotten hits in and it's not like he was expecting a whole lot. Heck, at lost he expected her to flail about and maybe hit him a few times but so far it wasn't all senseless flailing. Good sign that she might not fumble about like some of the other trainees.
Like you.
Yeah, something along those lines.
"Alright, what else can I inform you on that you might not know... Hm, well-" He wasn't sure. "Ask anything you like, I'll try to answer best I can." His thrust went off, almost missing her leg.
