Noemi slunk her way from her room, to the training fields. Her finger would be held up as hunters passed her and then fall when she couldn't bring herself to ask anyone....for a....spar.
She had been locked up in her room after the long sahara mission she had been sent on and needed to get out. In fact the only people she had really seen was Shu...and that was it.
"E...Ex...Excuse...."
She tried to reach out, grabbing a taller man by the shirt, which was unusual for the girl but she was TRYING HERE, Trying so hard. Milo be proud of her. "Excuse...me..." She whispered, her eyes not really looking into the others. "Wou...would you like....to spar?"

Horace was rather single-mindedly heading to the training dummies. Any time he didn't spend with duties was spent one of four ways: reading novels (yes, the ones with sweet, happy endings), finding coffee, being with Jan, or on the training fields. Dr. Jannisari encouraged this activity above others, although she seemed to tolerate Jan. Possibly because Jan made him happy. He hummed and touched the silver fox necklace. The note Jan had given him was carefully stored between the pages of Grey's Anatomy in his room, and he almost never took the necklace off. In fact, he was so lost in his thoughts that the tug on his sweater caused him to jump. He looked around and them he looked down, an easy grin crossing his face. "Hi. Sorry, didn't see you." And then he leaned down to better hear her and his grin fell away. Horace knew all too well the dangers of small hunters. AKA they ******** sucked. But pain was learning. He shrugged his shoulders. "Sure. I'm Horace." He held out his hand for a shake.

"Oh...Oh thank you...." She nodded her head and tried not to be intimidated by the largeness of the man, because he was in fact, MUCCCCCCCCH taller then she was.
She took his hand gently, and shook it, focusing on his chest as if that was the place to talk to.
"Okay. okay." She breathed in, "My...I'm...um...I'm Noemi!" She nodded, "A mist huntress." She looked around at his coat, as she summoned her trident weapon.
"I...Do you wan...Want to go first?" She looked up and then looked down again.

He chucked her chin up gently. She seemed rather afraid - Horace would bet there were any number of people on this island who'd rush to her defense at the drop of a hat. Any hat. "C'mon, dollface, my eyes are up here." Horace winked, a grin causing the dimple in his cheek to pop out. Of course, he was less inclined towards any sort of protective nature when he saw her weapon. Ah, yes, great. A spear-type thing - trident. He grimaced and stepped back, Jannisari appearing on his fists. Horace exhaled slowly, grin fading from his face, and watched the way she held her trident. Don't underestimate the tinies, he told himself. Noemi wasn't as small as Peyton or Mikael, but still, he felt as thought he could pick her up and pocket her. He moved forward, lashing out with his right fist to clip her in the shoulder. Dancing back, he kept both eyes on her, waiting to see how she reacted. HP: 40/40 DMG: 3

She flushed....
"S...Sorry! I am no so good with strangers?" She whispered, "So...but I am working on it." She hesitated, and flicked her eyes up at his and then looked away.
She moved her weapon a bit to defend herself but still felt the graze of his weapon against her shield.
She hadn't expected a close range, and didn't quite pull back fast enough.
"Ah...so...sorry...."

She was clearly shy to a fault. Shy and timid and the sort of thing he might've been if he didn't push himself. It was funny, he thought - he could get so damn far just by slapping on a mask of confidence and telling himself he was comfortable. Noemi didn't hit him. He wasn't sure if it was nerves or what. "No sorries, Neomi. Just don't think of me as a stranger. How do you fight when you're surrounded by horsemen or in the House?" He felt a little bad for being so strident. But he had made a promise to himself: that this is how it would be. Darren had asked him once: "Why aren't you like this with everyone, instead of so quiet?" Horace hadn't had an answer, but he was done being quiet - or, at least, he could try. "Pretend I'm some horrible thing who eats girls like you for lunch." Horace grinned wolfishly and shifted, a seemingly idly movement. The shifting of his weight turned into a lunge. Horace knocked away her spear and buried his fists, one right after the other, in her stomach. "Pretend I'm a monster," he whispered and tugged on a lock of her hair. With that, he skidded back. There were two distances that were (relatively) safe: out of range, and so close Noemi would have no leverage. HP: 40/40 DMG: 9 CHG: 1/3

"Um...Milo, he helps me." She sighed, "Cause I am mist, so...so I play defense and healer? My weapon...." She shook her head, "And my partner is Milo, he helps me so much."
His quiet words worried and shocked her.
"Eats.......!?!?" She moved away and pushed him gently now with her trident. For some reason, she was imagining something terrible......

"Yeah, eats. Or something." He shrugged. Sparring was training so that went hunter met those monsters, they'd be ready. "Mist had to do a little bit of everything, so offense is good to know, too. C'mon, harder." HP: 38/40 DMG: CHG: 1/3

"But..." Evan had said never to fight. Well not excatly that but she felt better being more of a smaller shield for the two suns. (Milo and Evan).
Even Stormy.
Melusine sighed softly.
Bolstered by her weapon, and Horace's encouragements, Noemi nodded weakly. "O...Okay I can do this." She whispered mostly to herself. her swing came fast, with power behind it to push at Horace.
Then it was back in front of her as she looked for either approval or if she had hurt Horace.

Noemi seemed to come to some sort of conclusion because when she hit, she hit hard. Horace stumbled back. "Holy ******** s**t, there you go! I knew you shorties all had it in you." He bent down, put his hands on his knees and breathed deeply for a moment. "Alright, try to do it again." Instead of trying to strike back, he grinned and dropped into a defensive stance, arms up.

The confidence boost and the other hunters good will towards her made Noemi want to live up to the expectation.
She was tiny, she reminded herself, but she was nimble and a huntress and all she needed to do was focus and relax!
This was a spar. She could do this!
Her trident swung far and right, aiming for his side.

The small hunter seemed to be gaining confidence, he thought wryly. Or would have thought, had her trident not whacked solidly into his side. Horace stumbled, hands immediately reaching out to wrap around the trident to keep his balance. He twisted and pulled, hoping to make her stumble just a bit. "Getting better, little bit." Horace grinned and let go of her weapon. HP: 25/40 DMG: 1 CHG: 2/3

Even as it was connected, she felt the tug on her weapon, and Mel's huff at another hunter touching her. The mermaid overall wasn't so miffed.
But it had the effect Horace wanted and Noemi stumbled closer to him, within in range of his attacks.
She was quick to regain composure though, using the trident as leverage and pushing up with her legs, this time a kick to his stomach.

He grunted in approval at the move. Well, it was kind of a squeak and a grunt mixed together as he doubled over just a bit. Kicking, clawing, pulling - Horace thought more hunters should fight less formally and more in the style of 'use any advantage'. "s**t," he wheezed. "Perfect." Horace circled her warily, but did not attack. Instead, he waited. HP: 19/40 DMG: she's too cute, he can't hit idk CHG: 2/3
