His yelp caused Noemi to freeze in place, as if she had done something wrong. Her mouth went a little bit slack, as he backed away. Though it should be expected, it startled her none the less.
"M...me?" She looked down at herself, a few scrapes and some newly forming bruises but other then that, she was alright. "The shadowlings, much stronger then I thought." She dropped her hand to her side, "You were very strong! You kept hitting them. I couldn't do anything." She sounded envious.
She was.

Oliver watched her closely, at least until that first compliment. Then he looked away and rubbed the back of his head, a bright blush spreading across his freckled cheeks. "N-no, you kept c-coming back, it was really brave..." He trailed off nervously, unaccustomed to having such nice things said about him. Especially his strength, which was poor at best compared to the majority of hunters.

She started to flush a bit too, though it was mostly because he called her brave. She was proud of them and mostly herself.
She laced her hands together, messing with her fingers.
"Do...do.........." She frowned, "Do you want to try again?"

For a second Oliver looked like he was going to say no, and nervously avoid the training courses for the next two weeks. But he was torn. If Noemi could keep going, how could he give up after just one try? A look of determination crossed his face. Then Oliver stood up, staggered, and jumped back into the training run with his axe swinging. He managed to clear the way so Noemi could enter, but more shadowlings were on their way.

His determination was mirrored by her own, following in after the life hunter with the trident swinging shadowlings away from her.
She clutched the weapon tight, but it was not brought to her chest defensively, it was brought down to hold in attacking position.
"We...We can do it." She urged.

"Okay!" Oliver replied, sounding more confident than ever since arriving on the island. But that apparent confidence was covered with a veneer of grim determination. He didn't expect to get through, but he did understand how important it was to try even if they failed each and every time.

Noemi was totally following after Oliver, using him as a shield and only using her weapon as a way to make other shadowlings back off.
Oliver got farther ahead though, and Noemi was left at the mercy of the shadowlings....Again.
She closed her eyes and just accepted her fate.

Oliver spared a glance backwards, only to see Noemi go down. The tired teen felt a fleeting desire to just give up himself, but he couldn't do that in front of Noemi. Neither of them were strong, or particularly brave, but that was why they had to keep trying. He knew his friend would never be disappointed with his failures as long as he tried his best.

Instead of attempting to go back in, Noemi stayed outside the portal and held her weapon against her. She was disappointed in herself for not doing anything more then being captured, and tired of trying to show that she could do it.
She cheered Oliver on though, from her vantage point. The sun techs had taken pity on her and allowed her to come watch now, so she could see Oliver finish!

Oliver, unaware that Noemi was watching, swung at the shadowlings again. If she had returned, he didn't hear her... The axe was feeling heavy in his hands, but most of his attack relied on momentum rather than brute strength. Quote: Wave: 4 Attack Dmg: 8 Total Shadowlings taken out: 21 Recoveries left: 0

Her eyes were glued to the window. Just one more hit and he would be free to go before the shadowlings became heavier.
She held her breath, waiting.

The door at the far end was in sight. If he could just make it a few more feet, before the shadowlings could get him... Swinging his axe to clear out a couple that were in between himself and safety, the frightened teen finally escaped. Safe and sound. More or less. Maybe.

Noemi was rushed to the exit with some of the techs, as they pulled together to wait for Oliver to come oout. Once he did there would be a loud..
"BANZAI"
And little poppers were pulled with confetti and streamers. Even Noemi was smiling at the one she pointed at Oliver.
"You did it Oliver! Wow you did it!" She was all smiles at him, "You were so good! I can't believe you were so brave, so much braver then me!"

Oliver was so surprised he nearly fell backwards through the portal. His own frightened yelp was loud enough to rival the enthusiastic BANZAI, and the only thing saving him from another run-in with the shadowlings was the loud THUD as his panicky, off-center retreat caused the back of his head to slam into the portal frame. Then Noemi's words began to penetrate through his rattled brain, and he felt the heat slowly grow in his cheeks. Along with the pain slowly radiating out from the back of his head. "... Ow..." He muttered in a rather stunned tone, one hand gingerly touching the growing bruise, and slowly slipped down into a seated position on the tile floor.

Noemi watched in slow motion as Oliver sprang back, hitting his head. She waved the techs away and then went over to the life hunter.
"Are you okay Oliver?" She reached her hand over to brush over his hair, "Y..you should be careful! I'm sorry we scared you." She lowered herself down and smiled at him.
"Do you want a snack to celebrate?"
