"Order" is such a misleading word. For us, it usually means PIZZA PARTY WOOHOO!

"Well, the fastest way to learn how to fight properly, is experience. Only your own body would know its limiters and what it can and cannot do." Bapp said, sounding unusually smart for a moment there.

"So basically, all you need is a sparring partner and keep at it."

"I must say, I disagree. You start by learning the basics. How to move your body, tactics, strategies, the like, and then touch the weapon, and fight after. It is like music. The best jazz musicians played classical, till they had it down." Harata sighed. "But, I supposed, because you are s-xist, and refuse to fight females, you need a training partner."

Feeling the tug on his hair, he followed the source and looked over to see that Harata was not going to be so easily left behind. A flash of guilt came over him, but once she opened her mouth and started talking, it was gone. It hadn't been his intention to forget her, but he had thought she found something better to do. Unsure if he was happy or not to see that, he listened to the exchange between her and Bapp as they discussed who's version of training was better. Having nothing else to do while waiting as they sorted it out, the Overseer sneezed and that was all he really had to contribute.

He went back to looking at the ram, again wondering how it helped. He was sure if he asked, he would get the question answered, or perhaps figure it out for himself. Again, doing that funny little thing when he looked between Bapp, the ram and back again, he might have been coming to his own conclusion.

But while he knew nothing of fighting. Feeling tired and not at all concerned with who won the battle of wits, he sat down and scratched his chin, off in his own little world of thought.

Appearing to have been lost in thought, Coline barely noticed that the Overseer's compliment and that he'd already walked over to her two fellow recruits. "Thank... you." she answered belatedly, not quite over her dazed state.

Her eyes darted back to the direction in which the drow had gone. It wasn't like him to leave so... abruptly. Shaking her head, she laughed to herself quietly. It was a silly thought. She'd only shared a few conversations with the Captain. Apart from that, she didn't know much about him at all.

But still... she couldn't help but feel worried. Was it something she said? Did she do something to displease him? After one last long stare Coline paced towards the Overseer, casting her two fellow recruits a wary glance before bowing her head. "I apologize for the brief meeting, my Lord, but I shall be taking my leave." she said. "Is there anything I can assist you with before I depart?"

"I'm not sexist! It's chivalry! C-H-I-V-A-L-Ree!" Bapp defended.

Lifting his gaze from his bare feet as Coline approached him with a palpable purpose, he gave her a hopeless and pitiful look, and glanced meaningfully at Bapp and Harata with a rolling shrug of his shoulders. His body language was clear enough, that Coline could always try to help him with the two before they had to settle things over blows. But the gentle smile and his words reassured her otherwise, "I have nothing for you to do at the time."

"Well, there is one thing ..." He added in before she turned away, and he stalled for time, glancing away. The Overseer, in truth, did not have anything in mind, and had to come up with something on the spot. The abruptness of Coline leaving only had him wishing she stay a little longer, because he could sense she was upset about something.

Thinking quickly, sitting where he was near the ram, he pulled the black and red robe up over his head, held it out to Coline and continued, "Could you please return the Captain's robe for me?"

Her eyes widened as the white-haired man started to strip off his robe, blood rushing up to her cheeks, and her head immediately turned away. She met the Overseer with an occasional glance before reaching out to the robe, doing her best to not let her eyes stray towards... uncharted territory.

She stood there for a few moments unsure of how to excuse herself. It wasn't everyday that she found herself in the presence of a naked man. Marching off to a nearby chest she pulled out a blanket, then walking back draped it over the Overseer's bare form.

Coline took a few steps back, still quite flustered yet somehow composed, and placed a hand over her chest before giving the demigod one final bow. "If that would be all..." And with that she turned her heel and distanced herself.

When it was certain that she was out of sight, the young recruit held her head and breathed out a sigh of relief. That was... wow. But she soon shook the thought off. She glanced towards the direction where the Captain had gone off to earlier on, her brow furrowed in concern. Should she go after him? Then, as if to answer her question, a stinging sensation crept up her leg; not so grave as to render her to the ground but enough to make her realize that aimlessly searching for the Captain was not the wisest decision at the moment.

And so with careful yet hastened steps, Coline made her way to the Temple.

To say nothing of Coline's reaction confusing him further, he wasn't sure if it was a very good trade. An itchy blanket in return for the finer robes? Not meaning to sound ungrateful, it was better than nothing, because there were an occasional cold winter-breathed breeze. Although, it was strange enough meeting the man who's clothes he was borrowing and who's bed he had borrowed. Not to mention how odd Coline was around him, meaning the Captain - and she was still a nameless member of the Order to him.

Now he would sit there, wearing only the blanket and lapsing into another of his recently developing daydreams. The Overseer only hoped the robe helped her.

Harata looked at Bapp. "The thing is, honey, chivalry is dead. In this age, where women should be equal to men, it's nothing more than s-xism." She then turned to the Overseer. "Aye. You silly man. What do you think you are doing?" She shrugged, then her eyes widened slightly as she realized what he was doing. "Ah. I presume you need new robes now?" She looked at him, shivering slightly under the blanket, and then laughed. "I'm sorry," she said, between her silent laughs, wipping tears from her eyes. "You just look so silly. Here." She reached into her trenchcoat like coat, then pulled out a spare pair of robes. They were black, but lacking in any symbols. "These will have to do. Oh, and another thing. Don't remove your clothing in public like that. Supposedly, everyone's body is sacred. Plus, we don't want to give Bapp a nose bleed, now do we?" She flashed an evil smile at Bapp.

Bapp sighed.
"Keep tasteless jokes to yourself." He walked back over to the ram and went through another round of getting flung through the air.

"True, women should be equal to men. But in this society, no matter what women are still seen as inferior. It's not the fault of our generation, but many, many generations of evolution. Whenever a crisis occurs, it's always 'save women and children first'."

"I don't see chivalry as sexism. Chivalry and sexism are two different things altogether. It doesn't mean protecting women, but protecting the weak."

He scratched his head.

"What the hell am I talking about? It just all flowed out in one shot." He laughed it off, and went back to getting battered by the ram.

Harata glared at Bapp. "No. My friend. I disagree. It is those men who seek to lower women, and been empowered over them who call it chivalry. It is those who admit it is, in fact, s-xism, who I do not mind. And I am not weak. Most of the women here are strong. Look around. Who do you see training? Who has the most skill? Why are you so afraid to fight women?"

"Huh ... wha ...?"
Not following the conversation close enough, he made a face at the black robes that were thrust in his direction, and with a frown, his eyes slowly rolled up to Harata's face. Why would he need another borrowed robe, when he had just barely gotten rid of his last one? Frustrated with the girl and how she had spoken to the Captain, himself and now Bapp, he dry-washed his hands over his face and back through his hair.

When Harata turned to snap back at Bapp, he jumped up to his feet, sand flying and struck a stance that let anyone know he wasn't going to be pushed around anymore. Waiting until he had Harata's attention, he advanced on her, and for a man without a scrap of clothing and without an ounce of shame for it, he could have been described as intimidating, if only because of how crazy it seemed.

Scowling, he said very clearly and stern, "Y'know, don't worry about doing me any more favors." And that was all he wanted her to know, walking past. Leaving behind both blanket and robe, he was just going to go see if there was a new robe for him in the temple. People were getting on his nerves.

Harata rolled her eyes, and shouted after him. "HAVE FUN!!!!" She turned to Bapp, "Now, what were we debating?"
