On his way to the training grounds, he stopped by his room, as he needed to actually get the daggers to fight with, and there was no way he was lugging these behemoth of a runic around for no reason, though he was glad he had managed to charge them before, if at least a bit. Heaving around 30 pounds of ancient was a pain in the a**.
With daggers in hand, he turned to Sherry.
"Ok, I think I have everything. Are you ready?"

Sherry was more than happy to follow Jake around on the way to the training grounds. Heck, she was just happy to follow him around at all. After everything, it made her happy, at least for the moment, and that was good enough for her.
She grinned at him. "Yep. Ready if you are."

Arriving at the training grounds, he took the daggers out, waving them around a bit. They were still a bit heavy, since it had been some time since he charged it, but a lot of manageable than not being completely uncharged. If anything, he needed to work out some more. He couldn't even remember the last time he did. Not since Chester...
He shook the though out of his mind, and raised the daggers.
"Remember, don't go easy on me."

Sherry grinned at him. He looked ready, though it was weird to see him with the daggers and not Chester.
"I won't." She summoned Armagnac, holding the glaive in a rather casual manner, nearly leaning on it. Armagnac was pleased by this whole situation.
"Have you had much practice with those?" She nodded at the daggers he was holding.

To be honest, it was rather weird having another weapon besides Chester, but it had been so long, and...
He shook his head.
"No, not really. And swinging at practice dummies isn't going to help me much, so you better give it your best shot."
He grinned then, eyeing the glaive. It was a strange feeling, somewhat familiar in a sense, as if he had done this before.

She nodded at him. Practice dummies only helped so much. "So, you were told to train?" She asked the question even as she shifted her weapon in her hands.
It almost felt weird having a conversation and preparing to spar like old time, almost like things were normal. Almost. She knew they weren't normal, but... this was what they had, and she was alright with that. Even if it was so familiar it almost hurt.
She smiled at him, even as she moved, leaning in and taking a swing at him. He'd said to give her best, so she didn't bother warning him. Hopefully he'd seen it coming.

"Yah, apparently it has something to do with... weapons resonating off their owner, or something..."
His memory of the conversation was a little foggy, but the gist of it was, it was his fault that Chester wasn't back to normal. At least, not yet. Hopefully he wasn't too late.
The swing startled him out of his brooding as he barely raised the daggers in time to defend himself. The hum of the barriers kicked in, and he let out a relieved sigh, glad to know that for once, something of Mark's was actually working properly.
Grunting, he swung the daggers, barely hitting Sherry.
He really should have charged these more.

"Hmm," she said, stepping back a bit even as she felt his attack against her shield. "That fits with what I remember Sam saying. Weapons and hunters linked, or something."
Sherry hadn't quite stopped moving as she spoke, and the glaive came in for another swing, low this time, but solid.

Fending off another blow, he lowered the daggers momentarily, catching his breath.
"There's... something else. Mark said something about if I left it for too long, I might not..."
He trailed off, and shook his head. No, he couldn't let himself think such thoughts. It WASN'T too late. He would save Chester, no matter what. The weapon had always been there when he needed him, so he couldn't give up now. No, he would do whatever it took to bring him back.
Gritting his teeth, he swung again, a little harder this time.

She blinked. What? It was possible that.... "Really? But..." Sherry shook her head and managed to get in a half decent defensive stance as Jake attacked again. The thought that whatever had happened to Chester might be permanent tugged at her already fragile heart.
The fact that Jake actually landed a decent hit threw her off balance enough that her counter blow wouldn't be much more than a graze.

He only hoped it wasn't true, wanted it to be a big lie, but he had a feeling that wasn't the case, but... he was a hunter long enough to know that sometimes, the truth hurt. Reality was rarely kind to them, and so, he swung again, sincerely hoping it wasn't too late.

She'd found more of her footing by the time he hit again, and though she winced, some part of her brain told her it hadn't been his best hit. The rest of her mind was occupied with the thought that Chester might not come back. She liked Chester, and what was more... Jake kind of needed him. Badly. On the field and off.
"Then I guess we train," she said. She followed the statement with another attack.

Her resolve startled him slightly, making him stumble back as he tried to recover from the hit. But she was right. Moping about it now wasn't going to do anything, and he was grateful she wasn't taking pity on him because of it. He wouldn't give up. He would do his best.
He wasn't sure if it was him or the daggers, but they seemed to get heavier, and he barely nicked Sherry this time.

She didn't even flinch at his last hit. "Come on," she said, encouragement in her voice, "you'll get the hang of them."
Not that she was going to just let him hit her. She'd agreed not to go easy on him, after all. Even if she kind of was, opting to aim for his shins with the blunt end of her weapon.

He needed a lot, LOT more practice.
The barrier helped protect his kneecaps from getting popped out, but he felt the impact, knees buckling slightly.
"Yah," he panted. "Thanks for not going easy on me."
