Turning as she realized another was approaching, she instinctively tightened her grip on the handles of the weapons. When she saw it was Vulpes, she tilted her head and watched as he passed by. She frowned at his comment, irritated that was what seemed to be on everyone's mind. "It is illogical, that is all. And when in certain company, none of which is present, I do not like the attention." she admitted truthfully as she again inhaled deeply, trying to remain focused but not tense.

* Ali watched her focus and smiled as the rain began to pour down in what seemed like gallons upon gallons, just perfect training weather.*The Elbow Blades are acrobatic weapons, to wield them correctly you must learn to spin them around and be able to stop it at a split second with only your hands. To be at their peak they must be spun at high velocity, a highly skilled Elbow Blade wielder can determine the depths of the cuts and at what point afterwards the wounds will open. In your case you'd probably want to make sure you can simply disable and make sure your opponents loose but doesn't die, you'll need to train hard for such a thing. Everybody can kill during a fight to win, to cripple your opponent and still ensuring them to live on afterwards is the difficult thing to do. But for now, swing them around at imaginary targets and get the feel of the weapons.* Ali spoke as raindrops dripped down from the large shade cap all around him, the lower bottom of his pants and cloak becoming soaked. This was merely the first lesson to enable Ziven to use a weapon, afterwards she would advance as well as build up her muscles a bit and getting more stamina. It would also help on her self esteem.*

She nodded a bit to what he said. Still feeling amazingly uncomfortable with the idea of using weapons at all, she took a few moments to again place the spell to "dull" the edge of the blades so that when she would strike herself, she would feel the pain but not be cut.
The rain pouring down did not seem to bother her, she simply continued on as if the weather condition were perfectly normal. Letting them spin around some, she began to understand some of his explanation of how they would work in combat.
Another point as to why she had troubles with learning how to use weapons is that she wished to understand first where to strike if she were to be using a weapon, which was never truly explained well to her. "I do not know how to swing them correctly. I prefer to understand exactly how and where to do something before starting, it is much more difficult to retrain to correct something than it is to learn it right the first time through. This is part of why my master would become frustrated with me, he kept insisting there was no perfection in basics."

* Ali nodded abit to her words before he began to unhook the cloak, then the sword and any other weapon he had, taking off the cap afterwards and then the gloves and T-shirt after that. Placing everything onto dry sand with the cap working as an umbrella. He then walked up towards her and stood his ground, beginning to point in various areas such as the neck, below the arms and on the backside of the leg as well as various other places.* The neck, armpit and backside of my leg, behind the knee cap are sudden kills as there are main arteries there, below the collar bone, between two of the ribs are slow kills, there you may puncture main arteries but they would bleed outwards, only inwards and they are difficult to stop. Other places are basically painful and if struck enough may lead to death or even shock.* By the time Ali was done, his hair had already become wet. So after a quick shake with his head, he moved his arms out a bit and waited.*Now slash me ten times as quick as you are able to at the moment and in various places and put some effort in it, I don't want you standing like a brick and moving your arms, use your entire body in a swing and thrust.

She nodded her head from time to time as he explained, trying to absorb every detail of his explanation. When he asked her to move in and slash at him, she did not feel ready. Reviewing where he pointed in her mind, she reached out slowly with one blade, pointing and even touching him where he pointed to. "Wait .. Here .. here .." moving around him, but still not intentionally pressing against him, she touched every spot he had pointed to before she would do as he asked. Once he would agree to this, she would release the spell on the edge and do as he asked. This was not simply a delay tactic but a way for her to learn the feel of how her arms would move with these weapons on her person as she tried to aim for those areas. She bobbed her head then, looking to him for confirmation. "Correct?"

Correct*Ali smiled a little at her afterwards, she memorized quickly. Good. Only question was if she would remember it several days, months and years from now on. Time would tell that. *

Ice hid himself from everyone as he spied on Aliator. 'Nothing has change.' He thought to himself as he fouced more on hearing and sight.

When he replied she nodded slightly to his approval, ignoring everything else. Releasing the spell on the blades, she continued to look at Ali with an intense expression, clearly torn between fear and determination of what she was asked to do.
Inhaling deeply, she set forth with his request and, without warning, tried to stab him ten times as requested, aiming near the areas he had pointed to her earlier, but not spot on because her intention was not to harm him fatally. With the wetness from the rain and the uneven ground beneath her feet, she was not able to stab at him as fast as she would if they had been on solid, dry ground. After only six cuts toward him, she stops, feeling that her footing was slipping and she would lose her balance if she did not.
Able to catch her balance, she looked at him, curious and nervous to know what he might say or if he might strike back now. Then she noticed something, faint but there .. someone she did not know was near enough for her to sense but she did not know if they were passing by. Blue eyes did not move from Ali as she spoke softly. "We are not alone."

Indeed and he's watching me in particular.* Ali smirked a little before he licked his left thumb and started to run it over the bleeding wounds Ziven had given him, in all secret levitating one end of the cap slightly by moving his right fingers. Once that was done, Ali opened up his right hand wide and turned towards where he could sense the stranger. Grabbing ahold of one of his pistols as it was thrown out from underneath the cap and firing four rapid shots at him, Ali never liked to be spied on.*

*Vupi stood close to them, but not to close to get entangled into Ziven's training. He watched her movements, as if it migth come in handy afterwards* Go girl! Chop him up! *A few words for her encouragement, and for his discomfort*

Tilting her head, she was unsure what Ali was doing until he had fired a shot. Ziven arched a brow, watching where he fired the shot at, wondering with a morbid curiosity if his aim had been true. Though she heard Vulpes voice, she decided not to react, trying to remain attentive to what she and Ali were doing. "Do you know whomever it is you are shooting at?"

Ice saw and heard the bullet come for him. Without thinking a gaint wall of ice shot up and shield him. Thono main power was protection. Ice stood up and walked to Aliator with both hand held up. "May I ask you something?" That was all he said.

Some guy, if he doesn't leave I'll aim lower and splatter his brains all over the ground below* Ali twirled the pistol around his finger for a moment before he slid it down into the back of his pants, studying the wounds Ziven had given him for a few moments.* Good enough start I suppose, you'll get better.* The sound of the man caused Ali to turn back around slowly, watching him for a few moments before he simply folded his arms in front of his chest.* This better not be a waste of my time.

As Ali's gaze shifted to the man, hers did also, curious to know what this might be about. As she did, she realized that the cold was beginning to get to her. Though Ali said that he did not want her to use magic for training, she assumed it would not hurt to do what was necessary to remain healthy and able to continue. For the moment, she did what she could to remain dry.
