Welcome to Gaia! ::

Alexandria sighed as he made his way to the meeting point. He hadn't been sleeping much the last few days, and given the way Mimisbrunnr's message sounded, he knew exactly what had her so nervous. He wanted nothing more right now, then to be back home, in bed, pretending nothing happened. "...I'm here." He muttered, sulking lightly.

Alexandria tensed when the Page practically ran at him, throwing her arms around him. He fought the initial wave of panic and managed to not shove her off. "Okay is the farthest thing that I am right now..." She wasn't letting go, and there was only so long he could calm his growing panic. "Could you... let go." Alex pleaded. "Please?"

Alexandria shifted, head dropping. "It's... alright. I'm just...." Jumpy. When she asked what happen, he jumped. His head shot up and already pale skin seemed to get impossibly lighter. Alexandria shook his head, running his hands through his hair as if he'd feel fuzzy, angular ears again. "I don't wanna talk about it. Please don't make me talk about it." Alex wanted to go home. He wanted to go home and not power up for another couple of months. In a few short months, it would be a year since the attack and death of some of his team. After that he hadn't powered up for a while. The images in his head that he saw on a nightly basis, were enough to have him considering it again. "Can we just.... get this over with? I wanna go home."

"I don't even wanna think about it. I just wanna do this and go home." Alexandria hurt in every way possible. Physical, Mental, Emotional. "Lets just spar. Get this over with." The teen pulled out his key, shifting it between his fingers. "I don't mean to be rude Mimsbrunner. I just can't do a whole lot right now."

For the first few punches, all Alexandria seemed to do was duck and evade. To anyone watching, it might have seemed like he was trying to test reaction time when simply, Alexandria just didn't want to be touched. "I... I don't know if I can do this Mimisbrunner. I'm not focused, I jump at the slightest sound, the slightest movement." It was bad enough being jumpy at home, where his family was constantly around.

"I'm sorry Mimis.... " He gave her a weak smile before shaking his head lightly. "That's not true... Evasion and Timing are just as key as actually making contact on your opponent. If I dodge, you have to make your punches and kicks faster till you hit me. And with that regard, I have to move twice as fast to avoid them. So just because I don't turn around and throw a punch, doesn't make this any less of a training match..." They were just doing it differently than most. "Are you saying no surprises to calm me down, or are you saying it because of what happened on Mistral."
