Ofelia had decided to try and become more of a good Sun, what with constantly training and not spending all day every day in the kitchen or hiding in her room (or apologizing to people for stuff she didn't really feel like she did wrong) and so the teen was once again at the indoor training ground. Even if it was still tropical outside her brain told her it was getting closer to winter, since they'd just had a shitty Thanksgiving and all, so indoors.

Plus it was okay to not wear shoes indoors, she could kick and move around barefoot without worrying about stepping on something regrettable, and the teen was busy warming up her body by doing a few stretches as the day started to move along.

Sherry had more or less worked out a system with Armagnac. If they trained, the weapon wouldn't complain when Sherry wanted to relax. Too much, anyway. Right now, it was Armagnac's time. So, Sherry found herself poking around the training grounds.



You've said that already. Several times, in fact. Sherry shook her head and let out an exasperated sigh. Armagnac was usually predictable. It was just a matter of finding someone willing to help her make the weapon happy. So far, she hadn't spotted anyone she was willing to ask, though. She could start texting people, but she was hoping to have a go with someone new today.

The search for something different had led her inside. Sherry didn't spend too much time at the indoor training ground, so it still held some interest for her. Liven things up a little--

There was someone she knew. "Ofelia! How are you doing?"



Sherry ignored the weapon. She didn't quite know the Sun well enough to walk up and ask for a fight, yet. She offered a smile instead.

Ofelia was in the middle of doing push-ups when she heard someone call her name, a voice that had only recently become familiar, and the teen rolled herself into a handstand before flipping onto her feet and looking at whomever it was that had addressed her. It was indeed whom she though - Sherry - and a grin broke out over the face of a teacher who was happy to see one of her pupils.

Ehehehe, Ofelia though herself a teacher. "Hiya Cherry. Er....yeah, whatever. What brings ya here?" Well, aside from the fact it was a training ground and people came to train Ofelia had a bad habit of asking overly obvious questions. Sill she always did it with happy enthusiasm so she couldn't really be faulted for it.

Sherry was mildly impressed at how exactly Ofelia got to her feet. She made it look super easy.

Armagnac was all approvals, so far.

"It's time to fit in my daily training," Sherry shrugged as she responded to the question. She might have been more enthusiastic about it, but she did it every day. Armagnac grumbled in her head, something about getting to the point already. "You wouldn't be willing to have a spar, would you? I was rather hoping to fit one in today."

"Sparrin'? Sure, Ah'll spar wit'cha." The teen grinned, pleased to have a moving partner rather than a dummy, and she flexed her hands and wrists for a moment before Rue was summoned out. The weapon graced her knuckles, the blades sparkling with clean, and the teen was even more pleased to find Rue's screaming wasn't so loud.

Maybe Harrison had been totally right about cleaning her and how it would get her to shut the hell up. "Wouldja like ta go first?"

"Great!" Sherry really should have known by this point that most people on the island were open for a fight. Especially if they were in the training grounds.

She summoned her own weapon a moment after Ofelia, adjusting the glaive slightly in her hands as she assessed her opponent's weapon. Close combat, from the looks of it. Sherry could always use more of that.

"I find starting these things is always the hardest. Both parties know what's coming, and all that," she took a step back as she spoke. Good footing was important.

"Well then, have at it." Ofelia took a step back as she looked at the glaive and prepped herself for long range sharp combat. This would be interesting.

Sherry only nodded before she shifted her weight and moved in to attack. She felt they were difficult to start, but once things got going, spars had a nice rhythm to them. Well, as long as Armagnac wasn't yelling at her.

The swing came from the side, from Sherry's right. It wasn't high, but still angled down. Armagnac purred with glee. This is what the weapon wanted.

The first attack came quickly, it wasn't too surprising considering everyone was always getting more and more in tune with their weapons, and the sharp point of the blade got a fair hit in. Ofelia was impressed enough that she grinned on it, and the teen took two steps back and kicked at Sherry's leg with her foot. It was enough to have her weapon get a little excited, but Rue's screaming stayed a low tone so it was all good.

The hit that actually connected was pretty weak but served well enough to get a decent charge.

Sherry did her best to recover from the kick that had been sent her way. She answered with a low, sideways swing. A nice, solid hit.

Armagnac seemed pleased.

"Don't worry about going easy on me," she eyed her opponent. A Sun. Sherry was prepared to bleed.

Well, crap, maybe Ofelia needed to focus? Sherry's attack hit her off guard, sending her stumbling back a bit, but it had been a fair and good strike and was worth of comment. Without Rue screaming in her head the teen could actually talk. "Nice, nice."

Perhaps Sherry shouldn't have said that, seeing as Ofelia was mostly just warming up and didn't want to hurt a trainee, but as soon as the other hunter said she didn't want to be gone easy on the redhead grinned and lunged forward. She was ambidextrous, perfect for two weapons like she had, and two strong strikes came out of no where as she countered back for the damage done to her previously.

And there it was. Good, solid hits, that sent her stumbling back. Just like she'd been expecting.

Happy now?

Armagnac stopped ranting enough to say that, yes, she was happy, and to tell Sherry she should hit back just as hard. This was the kind of training she'd hoped the girl would find.

The voice in her head raged, however, when Sherry's next swing failed to connect with anything but air.

Maybe it would have been best if Sherry had stayed quiet, mostly because Ofelia was picking up her stride as easily as she normally did, and once she got hold of the rhythmn of fighting she started to tear down her opponent as if she was nothing more than a stepping stone in her path.

It was so easy, always so easy, to just not even look at an opponent as anything but a thing in her way to victory.

Rue's screams were starting to get loud in her ears.

Sherry knew now why Ofelia, the girl who made the tastiest cookies ever, was in Sun. The last attack had hurt more than the one before it, even though Sherry hadn't thought it possible.

She did little more than stumble back in response, trying to regain her footing. Ofelia was strong, and Sherry knew she'd walk away from this battle having learned something.

Armagnac was bellowing at her.

The object was still standing, the object was still moving, and Ofelia felt her hands suddenly grow lighter as the runes on her weapon started their vividly red glowing. A charge was ready, a charge needed to be released, and Ofelia didn't waste it.

A single fight glowed bright than the other, stronger than the other, and it was soon driven deep into Sherry's shield as the redhead attacked.
