Getting stronger, a task far easier said than done. It was the only goal Al really saw ahead of himself at all times. Even before he landed on the island all those years ago. Except somewhere along the way he seemed to of lost sight of it. He got comfortable, lazy, he looked down at his midsection and grasped a bit of his love handles, doughy. He was tired of constantly feeling weak and useless, but worse than that was feeling like he wasn't dependable. He could barely defend himself, let alone those he cared about. No one took him seriously anymore and who could really blame them? The training field had finally dried out from all the rain and was back to being mostly sand by his favorite spot. He summoned Nuru and began swinging at a dummy, practicing his aim again. The weapon lazily yawned in his thoughts. It felt too early to him, but if his hunter insisted.

Lawrence always kept fit even if his training for a long time had been in private. When he wasn’t flying around, running or training against the dummies he was scaling various buildings in and around the island. It was his solution to the fact he was forced to eat normally these days and meant that rather than being just a bag of bones he was slowly building very lean wiry muscle.
He’d also decided that to increase his chances of survival and capacity to protect his family that he needed to properly begin to train himself against actual opponents. Peyton had been the first of what he hoped was many fights, and though he’d lost it hadn’t mattered at all to him, he enjoyed pain as much as victory and the fading black eyes were testament to this.
When he spotted Al he smirked and made his way over. “Looking for a sparring partner?” he asked smugly.

Nuru was already growling a warning before Lawrence's voice was heard, causing Al's head to swivel around to give the deceptively weak looking hunter a confused stare. "You? Spar?" He clenched his teeth tightly. He couldn't really refuse in the grounds it might have made him look weak and afraid. He was determined to show he was neither of those things. "But wont that get your ...hand.. dirty?"

Lawrence quirked an eyebrow at Al. He took it as a minor offence that he brought up the missing hand thing as if it was some kind of disability, along with implying he was prissy, but for now all of that would simply feed into the desire to break his face.
Butch as always went completely ballistic in the presence of another dog, the hands on Lawrence's watch switching to MURDER.
"Will it now?" he said. "Not as dirty as it will get you I should wager."

"We'll just have to find out then, wont we?" Al retorted with a defiant smirk as the bracelet around his wrist glowed and shifted. He pulled the, now staff, from the air and pointed it at Lawr.
The barghest began barking excitedly. He loved a good fight, especially against another canine.

Al glowered in annoyance, "Nobody asked you to go easy." But that didn't stop Al from taking advantage of his free swing. His hands shifted their grip on the staff and he swung like a baseball bat in the direction of Lawr's torso. Nuru gave a satisfied grumble as he got the first taste of fear. This one new, but delicious in its own way like all the others. HP - 50/50

"Well done." Lawrence said as the stick caught him across his body, letting it for now with the full awareness that Butch could handle it in the initial stages. Besides, the pain was pleasant, a flash of something that was almost emotion.
"Now you need to do that over and over and over." he said.
Butch snarled his approval in his thoughts as he lunged forward with his claws brandished like a cat.

"I plan to," Al spat through clenched teeth. Lawr was still somehow annoying even when you hit him with s**t. Did he think he was his teacher or something? He wasn't and Al was sure there was nothing the b*****d could actually teach him. He took the sharp cold rake of claws and allowed Nuru to dull the pain. It was only beginning, he reminded himself, so better to toughen up. He honestly wasn't used to sharp weapons being used against him and they somehow looked more intimidating than others. But it was just an illusion. A weapon was a weapon, and his was just getting started. Nuru begged for another bite, he hoped for blood this time. Unfortunately - and fortunately, they were far away from that. Al shifted his grip again, and this time thrust the weapon out straight and swung upwards as hard as he could. The weapon's runes flickered for a moment at contact, like a match that was nearly lit but flickered back out again with a smolder. HP - 44/50
DMG - 10
CHG - 2/3

Lawrence felt the blow substantially, Butch taking a sizeable chunk of damage from the other man, reeling back a few steps before lunging forward like a slighted cat, aiming to dig both sets of talons into Al's shoulders and squeeze.
"I'd love.." he panted through clenched teeth. "To make sure you could never touch my son ever again."

Al yelped as the talons dug in about his shoulders, temporarily restraining him. As soon as he realized what hit him, he glared defiantly at Lawr. Sweat already starting to trickle down his face from the fight. "And I'd like a ******** puppy. We don't always get what we want." His voice was strained, but he still managed to growl his words. HP - 38/50

This seemed to cheer Lawr up a great deal.
"Oh but I usually do." he crooned, leaning in close. "You'd be surprised how often it happens."
And he drove the blades in much, much harder.
