Well, it was Wednesday again, and he knew what was going to come. Pain. So, so much pain now that Claude had Fancy Coat powers. He groaned while he was still safe and alone, rubbed at one of several sore muscles, and braced himself for what would hopefully just be a quick training session instead of a protracted lesson in why he really, really needed to get himself Promotion Ready.
Getting your a** kicked is a great way to lose weight, he added to himself half-heartedly.
More than that, though, he wondered about the exchange between Claude and Lex or Alexei or whatever. She hadn't mentioned a brother before; the frosty tone between each other was probably why. And while the captain was normally curt with everyone, that Twitter exchange had been particularly venomous. He worried (of course).
Arriving early to the training fields, Dawson began to try and stretch out his limbs with a grimace. Gotta rise above the pain; he owed Claude only his best.

If Claudia Anne Morgan ever had a button, that could set her off with ease, it was her brother. On top of that, his childish retort to what was nothing more than banter had gone too far. Much too far. She appeared on the field on time, and made a bee line for Dawson. Nothing in her demeanor gave away at the turmoil she was feeling, with the exception of her gaze, which seemed distant. Though she was always quiet and stoic, her eyes were focused. Not so much so today. "Ready?" She asked, not looking at him.

"Hey, Cap'n!" he greeted her brightly as usual, popping something in his back as he twisted one last time. "Ready t'get my a** whupped, yeah." He paused as he summoned his shield, trying to gauge Claude's mood. It was almost impossible most days, but there was still something just a bit off. "Lessee watcha got," Dawson said as he raised his shield.

"Mn." She summoned her pistol, which had gotten larger and more ornate as a result of her promotion, and finally tore her eyes away from some spot to look at Dawson. She raised her weapon and pulled the trigger, landing a solid shot on his shield. HP: 50 / 50

Naturally she started off strong as Chance had. "Whoa now!" Dawson said with a small laugh as he pulled his shield closer to him. "What'd they give you, a Mario shroom? Hah. This yer first spar after the promotion, Cap'n?"

Though Claude did not play video games (the only ones she did were The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker and Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, both for obvious reasons) she was familiar enough with Mario through various avenues growing up. "Yeah." She replied simply. It was her first spar after promotion, and though the first hit had been pretty solid, the next one was so-so. Hm. At least she still hit his shield. HP: 50 / 50

"Nice, nice." He held against the next shot and started trying to move, provide Claude with a mobile target than an easy one. Dawson had long since gotten over how silly he looked bobbing and weaving. "So, uh, how you been?" he asked, trying to strike a balance between polite and his usual blundering questions. "Twitter got kinda, uh....yeah." Trying and failing. hp: 33 damage: defending for 1 charge: 1/3

Dawson was being well... Dawson, and his attempt to try and be suave but failing, brought a faint smirk to her lips. Trying to tip toe in, but just barreling through instead. "Fine." Was the answer to how she was, and in regards to Twitter, she gave him a simple: "Indeed." Claude fired off another shot, and noted that her weapon was charged. She glanced at her pistol, and then back up at Dawson. "I'm trying my new charged attack." She informed him. HP: 50 / 50

"You didn't mention havin' a brother." Might as well fail spectacularly at this, right? "He's kinda a d**k, pardon my French. Funny Victorian vocab speakin' d**k but a d**k all the same." At Claude's announcement, he grew a little pale and tried to steady his shield in preparation. Chance hadn't used a new charge on him, but if her shots indicated anything before....oh boy. "Th-Thanks fer the warnin', Cap'n!" he said, trying not to quiver. "Let 'er rip!" hp: 29 damage: defending for 1 really Dawson charge: 2/3

"I didn't." Claude affirmed in an unapologetic tone. It wasn't something she felt the need to inform everyone of, even friends. "Mn." Was also her non-committal sound to his observation. He wasn't wrong, actually, but at the same time, he didn't know Lex like she did... This Island changed people, and she hadn't seen any cases of for the better yet. She waited for Dawson to get prepared, and it was then she did as well. Claude aimed her pistol, and tilted her head as she listened to Ula's murmurs. She braced the weapon with both hands, and unleashed her charge, the flint sparkling brightly as she shot a powerful blast at the trainee, taking some recoil from the attack as well. HP: 42 / 50

Claude might have heard him curse just above the sound of the blast, a split second before it knocked against his shield and seemed to implode around him. When the dust settled, Dawson was flat on his a** and clutching his shield arm, the weapon itself knocked over his head. Hissing in pain, he rolled over quickly and snatched his shield up with the other arm, turning to hide the injured one as he grunted his way back to his feet, knowing he was going to walk away with even more bruises this time from that attack alone.
"Whoaaaa, tha' was frickin' rad, Cap'n!" he enthused nevertheless, starry-eyed. "s**t, I want one! But 'til then."
The runes glowed, and a familiar aura of fire encapsulated Dawson.
"You ain' done with me yet," he finished with a grin. "C'mon now. Talk t'me, Cap'n, you got family here n' I wanna here 'bout it."

While Claude didn't flinch or wince as Dawson was nearly thrown head over heels, inwardly she did feel a bit bad. While she was here to practice, as was Dawson, it didn't mean she wanted to throw him around the field either. Logically though, it was best to get this kind of experience from someone who wasn't out to end him. It really was the safest environment possible. She eyed her pistol briefly, pleased with the attack, and switched the weapon to her other hand. Of course Dawson wasn't finished yet. She waited until he was back on his feet before she even took another shot. A brow quirked at him as she gave him a look. Really, Dawson? Asking her to talk? You knew better. "There isn't much to say." She replied simply. "He's the reason I came to Deus." HP: 42 / 50

"The reason, huh?" He ran at Claude despite the shot nearly knocking away his fiery cocoon completely. While he willfully ignored the fact that trying to make Claude talk was a lot like trying to pry open a rusty locked box, Dawson was very consciously aware that he did need to make every second of their spars count. Even if it meant going against his impulse to run and hide that still rose up like a still from a pop up book.
He had a thing about hitting women, but it was easy to forget that rule against Claude when they fought. Brow set in concentration, he fought to keep up with her long enough to swing the shield like a discus, remembering for once to move his hips with it to give it more oomph. "Go on, f'it ain' much t'say."

Oh, this was new. Claude did appreciate that Dawson switched over to offense, and that swing he took at her was very solid. She was knocked back by the strike, and once she was firmly back on her feet she zipped away to put some distance between them. "What are you fishing for, Dawson?" She asked with a small smirk, amused by his rather clever comeback to her words. Once she was a good distance away she spun on her heel and shot at him. HP: 35 / 50

He probably shouldn't have gotten too close; his bold move earned him an attack that nearly knocked him back on his a** again. That was what he got for forgetting this wasn't the temple. "s**t, Cap'n, yer gettin' good," he cheered. Sucking in breaths, Dawson didn't pursue again and rooted himself to the spot, shakily raising his shield. His barrier was barely holding, but he knew the dampeners would stop her from actually harming him. "I mean ya cain' say he a reason n' then don' explain it. Leaves a man hangin'." hp: 3 defense: 4 charge: 2/3 Lucyal i got too used to rolling attacks thanks to his artifact run whoops......
