Returning to the training fields was a no-brainer for Riley, if you will forgive the pun. She simply had to try again, though she was no longer desperate for any and all fighting. This time, she was there to win, and once she lost, she would accept her defeat and move on instead of harassing the horsemen for more spars.
Her first opponent was fairly well built, and reminded her a bit of Herryk. She looked forward to seeing that boil again, so she could do to him exactly what she proceeded to do to the thick youth in front of her. He was on his back after several minutes, with her claws at his neck - and he looked a little too happy about it.
This clan loved fighting, perhaps, a little too much. If there was even such a thing.

Riley's second battle was less impressive, but she put as much effort into it as she had the previous one. She was simply outmatched, and when she found herself pinned to the floor by a rather surly gentlemen, she was at least glad he didn't seem to find as much pleasure in it as her previous opponent had. He rolled off her instantly, and even gave her a hand up. It was remarkably pleasant, even in the wake of her utter defeat.

While her run in the 'tournament' was over, Shehk still got up again to again do battle, taking the staff and finding another opponent who was willing to face off against a Pricolici who had her a** handed to her the day (and the fight) before.
She found a young male who seemed almost unsure of going off against her for some reason. Maybe she looked too fragile.
Or maybe he knew something she didn't.
A few sturdy clonks with that staff told her that he could hit a lot harder than she could, however, and she was soon downed again, panting and leaning on her staff. Damn!
She could do better than that!

Another opponent came to find her rather than making Shehk seek out someone to pester into battle. Another circle not too far off, the staff. She was starting to get used to the feel of it in her hands. She stepped in and quickly smashed her staff into the opponent's hand, apparently the quicker of the two.
Then again, Shehk took a lot of pride in being speedy, and once the staff was out of her opponent's hands she slammed it against the back of her neck to down her, carefully pressing it between the horseman's shoulders once she was down and panting.
Phew!
That had been a quick one.

Okay, she had it in her for one more. One more spar.
Okay.
Shehk found there was another opponent that was about as worn out as she was and they felt it would be an even match up of battling each other, rather then pairing up against someone who wasn't up to their snuff.
However, it seemed to be a bit too evenly matched...

In fact, it was a pretty even exchange until Shehk shifted her weight in and smacked the staff she held across her opponent's knees, her own knees having suffered too many times at the hands of staffs to them.
Good thing they weren't arrows.
Still, her opponent conceeded soon enough and they both sat there, panting and catching their breath before Shehk began to laugh.
"Oh man.
That was so much better than Yesterday's run." she laughed, rubbing her knees. "Got any ice or something I could put on my poor bruises or... would that be frowned upon?"
"Taking care of yourself isn't frowned upon.." the Horseman replied and after a minute, the pair got up to go look into getting Shehk a little something for her wounds....

Shehk stretched as she walked of the dorms and out onto the growing familiarity of the pathways that connected the canopy to each other - at least it did for the convenience of grounded individuals like the pricolici who couldn't help but keep stopping to look down at the ground below.
So far away. Her tail was practically wagging. If she'd been born with wings she probably would have been pretty damn happy about it, just based on her currently growing love of the heights - especially when the breeze came by. She was like a dog with her head out the window, tail wagging a million miles a minute as she began to cross into the familiar territory of the training grounds.

Sammy wasn't far behind but unlike Shehk her head hang low this morning. Hands where stuffed in the pockets of her cargo pants as she marched along after the other ghoul, avoiding holes in the makeshift path built for students. "We heading to trainin again?" She almost sounded... disappointed?

Riley hadn't meant to follow the ghouls, but she'd caught up to them before she could stop herself, and that suited her just fine regardless. She slowed down once she found herself beside Sammy, and her wings folded behind her as she took on the ghoul's walking pace fluidly. Why do you sound so sad about that? This was Sammy, wasn't it? Wouldn't she be excited? Riley certainly was.
You love a good fight. You still owe me one, too. She punched the ghoul in the shoulder. I'll get that from you soon enough.

Shehk paused in her step, glancing back at Sammy and her bummed face, tilting her head a bit. "Now what is this I hear? Glum tones from one of my most favorite people in the world?" the pricolici turned, hopping on one foot over to the undead and half leaning against her chest playfully, tail wagging.
"Why would you not want to go and train, Sammy m'dear?" she asked, passing a look to Riley with half a grin as it seemed the Mindflayer was of the same sort of mindset as she was.

Sammy waved her left hand dismissivly after Riley offered a punch to the shoulder shaking her head at both her friends as they all fell into step properly. "I don't know it's a long story. I just, feel off is all." She sighed running a hand through her streak of white hair. "The meditation class just... didn't work out right for me is all. I feel like I still have a crap ton of stuff on my mind that I wasn't planning on worrying about anytime soon and now its all like. UHHHHHGH BOTHER!"
To prove how annoying it was she started flicking the sides of her friends heads. "Like that."

Riley was going somewhere, which meant Canon followed. She was less stealthy about doing so this time around, however. Now that they were on a first name basis and all. The Skark still planned to continue her research into Telepathy, and the Illithid sounded like a fascinating species. No mouths, just like Skarks! Well, not just like, but definitely closer than most!
Long tail swinging happily, she ran up just in time to see the undead ghoul flick Riley and the dog ghoul's heads. What was this? A greeting between friends perhaps?
"Hello!" she piped up, uncertain how the others might react to Canon greeting them as Skarks did. She played it safe. "I'm Canon!"

Riley took it as good as she gave it, so when Sammy flicked her in the head, she merely twitched in dismay and moved a step away from the ghoul. Well. Be that as it may, we are in a place of wonders. Shake off your worries and let us enjoy the time we have here.
She heard Canon's voice, and turned to lift her face in lieu of a smile, quite pleased that the ghoul had chosen to walk with them instead of stalk behind this time around. Canon Indy, I was hoping we would see you again. Ladies, you remember the ghoul from yesterday, do you not? Canon Indy, these are my friends, Shehk and Sammy. We are headed to our training for the day. I take it you will be joining us?

Shehk rubbed the back of her head when she was flicked, ears drooping back a bit. "Well, if you keep thinking about it and letting it weigh you down, it'll just hurt your performance, y'know?" the pricolici tried to reassure, sighing. "I'll admit I need a bit more practice in the meditation, but you're definitely doing it wrong if you're pulling a me about it."
It wasn't like anything had happened while sitting in that room besides consultation with her own thoughts.
However, Shehk paused as she looked to see who Riley was introducing, recalling the little Skark from their training run the first day. She'd been mighty impressive!
"Well! It's nice to meet you, Canon Indy. I'm Shehk." she introduced, offering a hand for a shake. "Definitely wouldn't mind an extra set of hands to go training with us."
