Scout was seated on one of the haybails at the training rings polishing her gun (which was unnecessary since it was a magical sentient weapon and provided she didn't die or something, it would come out shiny and new every time). She had been seated like that for quite some time because she felt that asking anyone to spar would have been rude or interrupting or any other number of things unpleasant.
So she sat there and polished her gun instead.

He spotted someone on sitting on the sparring fields from pretty far off, and for a while he wailed on some training dummies and only occasionally glanced over to see if said person was still there. Each time he looked there they sat, doing something or another that they probably could have been doing somewhere else (because who came to the sparring fields to do something other than spar?).
After he'd started breaking a sweat he must have glanced over at least ten times already, and his curiosity eventually got the better of him. With Zephira hoisted onto his shoulder he started walking over, and on the way picked up a pebble to chuck at said person just for the hell of it.
When he was close enough he realized who it was and laughed lightly, chucked the pebble at her to get her attention, then jogged the rest of the way.
"Yo," he greeted simply and with a small smile.

The pebble certainly startled her to the point where she dropped her gun. What followed after was of course an awkward clamoring to make sure her gun wasn't on the ground and that nothing had broken.
(Again, sort of a silly concept when she could simply desummon and resummon it, but Scout was meticulous like that).
"Hey!" she said to the person approaching, which she then quickly identified as Rhys. It didn't make her any less unhappy. "That wasn't nice."

He couldn't help the chuckle that followed from her reaction to the pebble, and he kept a good distance away in case she wanted to retaliate in some form.
"You looked totally into whatever you were doing, thought I'd get the jump on you. Have some fun," Rhys replied with a shrug. "You looked like you could use an excuse to loosen up anyway. How long you been out here just sitting and messing with that thing?"

"Not long ..." Scout lied, hands clinging a little tighter to her gun as she looked down. Okay it had been a while.
It wasn't very fun on her end. She didn't much like rocks being thrown at her, especially not in an area where wayward projectiles often spelled a trip to the infirmary.

He quirked a brow; he'd been watching her so he knew it was a while, but saw no reason to press it. He did throw a rock at her so already had something he probably ought to apologize for...so no, he shrugged it off.
"Alright, well how 'bout we get you movin' for a bit? Care for a little one on one?"

Scout stared at him for a moment or two too long, but eventually got up. "... Okay ..."
She moved to the center of the ring and waited for him to summon his own weapon. Scout wasn't very good at battling (she just didn't have a feel for it), but she would try not to leave Rhys hanging.

"Sweet," he said with a grin as he stepped a few paces away from her. Zephira was already in his hands and he didn't wait all that long, not even long enough to Scout to get too comfortable standing there with her weapon, before charging.

He tried his best to close the distance as quickly as possible, only moving in close enough to take a swing at Scout. The closer he was the harder it'd be for her to get a shot off with that gun of hers, which meant he'd have a better shot at winning. In theory, anyway. He recalled the last mission they'd been assigned and winced; man would it suck if he'd actually been among those that got shot...
He felt his blade make fairly solid contact and he grinned. Had to keep his focus, but that didn't mean he couldn't mentally give himself a pat on the back for having a good start.

She didn't want to say go easy on me but she still was kind of hoping he'd go easy on her.
Yet Deus never really worked that way. She felt the sword hit her shield and in her mind she sighed because this was why she hated fighting. What was fun about getting beat up or beating someone else up?
Scout, nothing if not a hard worker, didn't leave a job half finished though. She turned heeled and ran for some cover (having a sniper rifle really didn't help in these one on one situations; she was much more outfitted for teamwork).

He wasn't sure what made him to hesitate, but the next time he looked her way Scout was already off, aiming her rifle straight for him. The best he could do was duck for cover (and he felt a bullet make contact with his shield just as he managed to find some) while looking for a way to close the distance again.
He heard Zephira chide; somewhere deep down he could tell she was rolling her eyes at him, too, and he huffed.

Scout tried to separate her feelings (she saw the way he flinched- it must have hurt pretty bad ...) from her duty (< Hit! Hit!! > Rigs shrieked in her ear).
It was hard and she purposely aimed her next shot slightly off course. She could have done more damage, but tried not to. Maybe it was weakness, a kind of fuzzy soft that Deus so common snuffed out. Maybe she really was just bad at this. Either way, it was the action she chose.

And he'd been off to such a great start, too.
Rhys did his best to stay under cover while he looked for a closer spot; he'd have to work his way closer to her while under fire. Good practice for the future, but that didn't make it any less tedious. Through gritted teeth Rhys got up and out from his cover to run for another spot that he spotted when he felt another bullet whiz past him, nicking what should have been his shoulder in the process.
"Damnit!" he groaned as he skid back into relative safety. "Zeph, seriously, the hell do I do? Sword against gun here."
‹ I don't have any secret warrior memories if that's what you're hoping for, you idiot. Figure it out. Just whatever you do, don't throw me and pray that it hits. I have a feeling your aim is worse than your ability to strategize. ›
He elbowed the stack of hay that was his cover, hard, as a slew of expletives left him. "Really?! Just once could you try and help me out?"
‹ Alright, how's this? Don't lose. ›
"Useless piece of--!"

Scout didn't quite understand why Rhys was yelling these things at her. "Help him"? Wasn't the point to not help?
Either way, she lowered her gun and waited patiently. "Do ... you need help?" His shield hadn't smashed yet (at least, she hadn't seen the wards kick in yet) and he didn't look too injured, but if there was one thing Abbi had taught her it was that people could get injured at any time in any way on this island.

When he heard Scout calling back he looked over the hay bale he was using for cover and shook his head.
"Nope, all good 'cept for the whole getting shot at bit," he said, offering up a weak smile. "You probably shouldn't be too concerned about your enemy in a real fight, but thanks for checkin' in. You're doin' great!"
Rhys ducked for cover again, just a cinch closer this time, and sighed. At least she wasn't shooting right that instant, so he had some time to get his brain together to keep his focus. His only shot was to get up close and personal, otherwise he'd probably have to resort to chucking even more stones at the poor girl.
