Ah, the sparring grounds. He missed the openness of it. Here he had the freedom to just flail his sword around without worrying about it cutting up a branch overhead and having said branch land square on top of his head. There was also zero chance of getting his sword stuck real good in a trunk while in the middle of a life-threatening situation. His memories at the outpost were a mixture of irritation and general unpleasantness, so this was nice.

Rhys summoned his weapon and slowly started walking further into the grounds, getting used to the weight of his sword in hand. After a few practice swings he began scanning the immediate area for a potential sparring partner. He was itching to see how much he'd improved since the last time he fought someone.

Does the current status effect apply right now? I'm not really sure.

There weren't many folks out and about at the moment. The weather still hadn't improved much, and there was damage that still needed repairing. Training still happened, but there were less people out there just for the hell of it than there usually might have been.

Zeke wasn't out there to train, nor was he just outside for kicks and giggles. He was on his way back to the dorms after a long shift in the infirmary. There was to-go cup of coffee in one hand and a notebook in the other. He was heading back to drop his stuff off before heading back out to help with the cafeteria again.

Someone did eventually come through the field, though they were sort of just zooming through. Not if he had anything to say about it, though. It took several strides but he eventually positioned himself several feet in front of the guy's way and pointed his sword straight at him.

"You." Not the friendliest greeting, but eh. "The only other guy out here as far as I can tell. Care to help a guy get some training done?"

Well he hadn't been planning on it...

{Rise to the challenge, boil!}

How about a nice long nap before dinner? It had been a long shift, he was tired. His weapon, apparently, wasn't hearing it though.

{You can sleep when you are dead. Go, fight!}

It made him sigh, but he did alter his trajectory towards the training field, and the man that had summoned him over. "Zeke," he'd inform him, taking a good look at the trainee's face, wondering if it was familiar at all.

"Rhys, good to meet'cha." As for him, Zeke's face familiar but then kinda not. He'd probably seen the guy in passing, kind of like how he saw most of all the other hunters in passing for the most part, but that was about it. And he was fine with that. He figured if he was around long enough he'd eventually get around to learning and forgetting and re-learning all the names and all the faces.

"So is that a yes or what?"

He summoned his weapon, shouldering the large ax as he headed over to meet Rhys on the training field. "Why not." Training was training, and there was always room for improvement.

The size of the weapon made Rhys question what in the hell he'd just gotten himself into, but he wasn't about to run off now.

Rhys lunged forward, closing what little gap there was between them and aiming to stab his opponent. It looked like a sad attempt at a fencing maneuver. it didn't helped that his sword was obviously not a saber so the move just didn't look...right.

Rhys wasn't interested in wasting any time, and Zeke could appreciate that. He wasn't interested in hanging around the training field all day. There was a comfy bed up in the dorms with his name on it, and hopefully another body, as well.

But first, he had a spar to concentrate on.

The trainee came at him, sword held a bit awkwardly, and a side step saved the Mist from the worst of it, but Rhys still managed to nick his shield.

He'd turn at the other man moved past him, and that big ax came up for a diagonal strike across the back of Rhy's shoulder, the chain hanging off the handle rattling loudly as he moved.

He was used to mostly missing non-creature targets, lack of practice or that kind of excuse, but still he curled his lip when the other hunter dodged as well as he did.

And to top that off, he felt the giant axe really dig into the shield over his back, throwing him off balance and nearly causing him to eat dirt. He did stumble forward but stayed on his feet, even managing to pivot so he was facing Zeke again.

The trainee had a solid look of determination on his face as he dashed forward again, swinging his blade straight across when he got close enough.
