Sighing as she cleaned up her mock opponents, Bestla threw a sour glare at the trees and trashcans that she'd been using for punching practice. Throwing herself at inanimate objects just wasn't the same as actually fighting someone. And while she could go out and harass some Negaverse officer, she preferred a fight that she was guaranteed to come out of alive.
"Well guys," she muttered to the trashcans as she righted them, "Guess I'll be seeing you again tomorrow night."
Grymoire Sorry for the late start~

Back alleys and the darker bits of town weren't usually where he found himself but he'd sensed another Senshi not far away from where he was patrolling and had decided to investigate. The Senshi seemed to be practicing, which was at least a plus, but he wouldn't have suggested trash cans as something to practice on. Things that didn't move didn't really teach you how to hit someone running from or at you. Dropping off the roof ledge he'd been standing on he landed a bit behind the other Senshi. "There are better things you can hit than those you know."

Jumping slightly and cursing herself for not paying better attention to her surroundings, Bestla whirled around and stared for a moment at the senshi who'd appeared behind her. Once she was sure she could answer without squeaking, she snorted.
"Maybe so, but I don't know too may folks willing to be my punching bag. And the ones I do know, I haven't seen in a while."
Still feeling spooked, she tried to hide it by turnign and finishing putting the trash can to rights.
"I work with what I can find, you know?"

"There's plenty of negaverse agents around you could use instead you know? And there's a few senshi out there who do training camps." Looking her over she seemed like one of the new ones who never quite got their footing. It seemed like those he was meeting now hadn't dealt with any of the strange things like he and his friends had in the beginning. "If you'd like some actual help....?" He could at least offer to teach her a few things. It was the least he could do now that he was back home.

"Are there really?" Bestla was interested in spite of herself. "First I've heard of any sort of training camp. As for the other, I would prefer not just diving in when I'm not sure what they can do. I mean, because really tall and built isn't gonna do me much good against someone who can wield a spear or shoot arrows or summon big, damn monsters."
For a moment, she went silent before laughing sourly. "I mean, all my magic is good for is making things slow for a few seconds."
She went silent again before taking a shaky breath and pulling herself straight. Turning to give the other senshi a good, long look, she finally gave a sharp nod.
"Help would be great, unless this is you trying out new ways to hit on folks. If that's the case, you're cute and all, but not interested in boys right now."

Her comment made him sputter for a moment and he shook his head. "Um, no. I'm not interested in -anyone-, thanks." Why did everyone either hit on him or keep thinking he was hitting on them? Stars. "There are a couple of us who do training camps. They were more common years ago but they're still around." He needed ti find Castor to see if he was still doing them. "You should be able to pick and choose who you attack. You can feel the difference between someone who's as strong as or stronger than you. Just don't attack anyone stronger. Their newbies can't do much harm." At least they couldn't magically and if she wanted to get in a fist fight that was her problem. "Do you want to try against me? Or should we go find someone who could use a lesson in being on the wrong side?"

"Good," Bestla nodded and did her best to not smile at the spluttering she'd caused with her question. "I'm a lot more likely to trust someone when I know they aren't trying to get into my pants."
Couple of 'us', huh, she thought as she listened. So a bonafide senshi trainer had stumbled across her. Awesome.
"Y'might want to clue the cats in on that stuff. So they can, y'know, let us know when they do their HI YOU'RE MAGIC NAO s**t."
And who said she wanted to flat out attack anyone? What was wrong with a little recon and studying the situation for a moment? And of course she wouldn't atttack someone stronger than her. Though, admittedly, it would be interesting to meet that person. Her meandering attention was caught by the other senshi's offer. Grinning, she nodded.
"That'd be awesome, thanks! I'm sorta curious how I'd stack up against someone like you. Name's Bestla, bee tee double-u."

"Good luck with that. The cat who awakened me didn't offer much help but some other Senshi did." And the rest he'd just figured out through trial and error. Having friends had been good too, even if they'd mostly grown well past him. "Arsinoe. Are you sure you want to go up against me? I'm not exactly all that good in a fist fight and I could actually seriously hurt you ..... but I could keep my magic to myself and see how you do against a moving target." At least that way he wouldn't have to worry about hurting her and he could give her pointers.

Well, it had been a nice dream anyway, thought Bestla.
"Sounds about like my own experiences. Like I said, I just really haven't seen the senshi I met around lately."
She studied Arsinoe quietly, trying to gauge what his abilities might be. After a moment, she smiled.
"Let's try that moving target thing. I mean, my magic is worth ******** if I'm completely honest with myself. Making s**t glow is hardly useful in a life or death sitch."
Shaking out her arms and stretching carefully, she waited to see what Arsinoe would do.
"Sure beats kicking trash cans."

"Never doubt your abilities or why you have then." He tsked slightly before taking a few steps back from her. "You may not be amazing in a one on one fight but with others? That ability might mean the difference between life and death to your friends." Thinking for a moment he motioned up toward the roof. "It'll be easier if we're up there where we can move. So ... try to see if you can hit me." He grinned before hopping up onto one of the window ledges and making his way up toward the roof.

Well, all right. She could see the logic there, even if she didn't entirely like it. And there were ways to use a simple glow to good effect. She'd just... really have preferred something a little more hard hitting.
Oh well.
Bestla was shaken out of her moping by Arsinoe's grin and the invitation to see if she could hit him. Laughing, she followed.
"I'll get you one way or another," she promised as she pulled herself up onto the roof.

"We'll see." He grinned as he made it to the roof and got his feet under him. It would be better if she could get him but if she was used to non moving targets it might be a bit harder. It would be a better lesson if he attacked her too but if she couldn't handle hitting him then he didn't want to hurt her. Those weren't always kind of lessons he thought someone should learn when they were new.

For a moment, Bestla mentally thanked Castor for suggesting that she practice her roof running and use weights to help her build a better endurance. As wiry as Arsinoe was, she had a feeling he'd be speedy. So, the question was how best to hit him. She didn't want to throw anything, there was too much potential to really hurt him there. But maybe throwing something to herd him?
She'd think about it.
For now, she simply launched herself at him, closing her fingers in a loose fist that wouldn't hurt as badly and aiming for his shoulder.
"Can we call this senshitag? Senshitag sounds so much more awesome than just training."

"If you .." He ducked under her swing and pushed himself back away from her again. He really did enjoy the extra power he got as Senshi. It made jumping back out of danger a lot easier than it would be normally. "Really want to. Come up with that all on your own?" He'd never seen the point in giving things silly names but he had a feeling that Corvus would have appreciated the nickname. "It's only tag though if you can hit me." She was faster than he thought but he'd gotten really good at keeping out of someone elses grip.

Alternately pouting and laughing, Bestla made up her mind to land at least one 'love tap' on Arsinoe before she gave up for the night. But given that her earlier reading of him as being speedy was pretty damn accurate, she just had to figure out how.
Grinning a bit, she held back a little, watching him run, "Sure did! I'm a damned fountain of awesome nicknames. And sass. Whole lotta sass."
So, if she couldn't outrun him, maybe she could be sneaky. Throwing things was still out, but maybe... After a moment, she took off after him again, this time, as she ran, her hands were busily tugging at the sash around her waist until it came loose in her hands and then knotting one end.
Taking a deep breath, she put on an extra burst of speed and whipped the sash out, hoping to hit him with the knot and get her 'tag'.
Grymoire Sorry! Life kind of hit hard.
