((FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!))
It would take about an hour to go from the Temple to the Training Grounds, but that number changes depending on just how much in a hurry you are. In her case it took about half the time.
Coline put her sprint to a gradual stop upon stepping into the Training Grounds and held her knees, panting heavily as she tried to catch her breath. She was determined to get there as fast as she could and didn't bother to stop ever since she started running. It was weird though. Normally a feat like this didn't tire her out too much. Which could only mean one thing.
She had to get her butt to training. Stat.
Raising her head, her breathing still quite heavy, she could see two of her fellow recruits sparring in a distance. And it seemed like there were more people out of their tents this time around. Her attention soon shifted to the pile of weaponry situated close to the sand ring. She winced. Had anything terrible happened to her trident during her absence she would never forgive herself.

 Bapp managed to grab on to Sta for a moment but she easily broke free from his grasp. She gave his cape a yank for the heck of it. "Better." Sta smiled. "Maybe you should try to be a bit more swift about this though." She readied herself again, concentrating on Bapp's movements. [[training blah blah blah... I don't want to write it out right now] OOC: No big deal xD. I should really be doing homework. It's like 12:30 and I've already pulled two all nighters this week]

 "Almost... Maybe I should use a different tactic... Jujitsu... should work. It's a martial art for fighting armed opponents so..." Bapp mumbled to himself.
Once more, he lunged for the arm holding the blade, but this time, he slid his foot forward, stabilising his stance.
Then...
[Signature Disarm?]
((lol overkill. This was what I've been doing the whole time. biggrin ))

(( WORMHOLE Cue sparring with invented peeps! )) The Underworld is a merciless place... Working with a moderately advanced trainee was actually probably the most boring part of his role. The recruit was just beginning to get his confidence up, and this was where mistakes and bad habits actually began to creep in. He'd spent what felt like an hour reminding the boy he was sparring with to keep his hands evenly spaced on the quarterstaff - surely that was basic? - even while he lunged forward with the weapon. He sighed inwardly, dodging another lunge.
"That was better. You remembered to switch your right hand from top to bottom. But you need to make sure you time it correctly to get maximum reach."
Just as he turned to let the boy try again, he caught sight of something. He looked again. It was her! After so many days he hadn't expected her to be up until the end of the week. It looked like she was going to keep on surprising him.
Attention distracted, he just managed to dodge the next thrust. Befor ethe boy could retract his weapon, he took hold of it and pulled. The boy, grip incorrect on the weapon, lost his balance and fell at the instructor's feet.
"Keep working on that," Jessie said dismissively, striding away while the boy tried to figure out what had happened. "Hey, Coline! Coline!"
...Which breeds many a merciless creature. (( I'm... doing this because... you guys all need an active trainer! Not because I just want to rp with Nii at all! ))

Sta hit the ground hard. Out came a profanity. She let go of her sword and tried to get up. Remarkably, she wasn't horrible injured because of her concentration. She was just bruised pretty bad. She couldn't help but smirk.
"Good job. I dropped my sword."
Sta picked up her sword and got up. Out of the corner of her eye she could see another person coming.
edit: She stood up straight when she saw the captain out of respect.
"Sir," she said with respect.

"Oh sh-! I'm so sorry! I threw too hard!" He rushed forward to help her up, but she stood on her own.
(( O.O When did the instructor walk over?
=.= I'm now drawing a bunch of comics with martial arts moves. Too much History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi...
*guild comic about 14% done* ))

[OOC: I have no idea what's going on. I am failing so hard with now. But I was talking about Sta seeing Coline. Then Sta sees the captain going to Coline and straightens up because she always does that around superiors]

(( I'll totally reply to you when Nii replies, Sta =D
And I walked over JUST NOW. That's the thing with drow. You never see them coming. Elven grace, hiding in the shadows and all that. ;O HE WAS OVE RTHERE ALL ALONG DOING HIS INSTRUCTY JOB
EDIT: Dont worry Sta, nothing to be confused about. You're still sparring with Bapp, the captain just happened to walk towards Coline. Your reactions are fine~ ))

"I'm fine, I'm fine. Didn't I just tell you about the strength of women? Don't worry about it." Sta tightened her grip on her sword. "Worry about yourself."
Sta lunged forward and swung at Bapp with her sword. All the while she was considering where it would do the least damage to hit him.
[Counter]

By instinct, Coline put on a firm face and straightened herself up immediately upon hearing the Captain's stern voice. "Sir." she said, just as the girl closeby had done. She remained silent, bracing herself for whatever scolding or punishment the Captain may have in store for her.
((What time is it where you guys are, btw?))

(( Oh man I totally have to go @___@ dsfjghsfdsfd NEVERMIND I can reply quickly ))
The Captain approached Coline, nodding curtly to Sta but otherwise ignoring her.
"How are you feeling?"
(( crappy but I GOTTA GO JHSFDGS back in 2 hours! ;~~; le francaaaais ))

((Yeaaaaaay! Thanks Lori! *but is lazy by nature XP*))
Bapp shifted back, in order to parry the blow.
[Parry!]
But he couldn't move back fast enough, getting hit by the blade and knocked back.
"Aww... Dammit!"

Sta was a bit busy with other things so she didn't notice the captain ignoring her. She probably wouldn't have noticed anyways. [OOC: But she did notice that the Captain was getting a bit attached to a certain someone.Cough.] Sta lowered her sword. "So, Bapp, you got the hang of disarming people?" She sheathed it and sat on the broken dummy. [I need to finish my homework and study for a test and it's half past 1 so I'm gonna go now... be back tomorrow! :3]
