Al was standing by the training fields with his hands thrust in his pockets. It was a little later than his recent usual, and unfortunately as a result all the training dummies had been taken. That's what he got for sleeping in... it was just so much harder to get up with even the slightest of chills on the air. Bed was just so warm and snuggly and Noah wasn't helping...

So now he was stuck waiting for one to free up. It was his own fault really, but it was too easy to blame the others for taking too long to finish up, so he kept casting them irritable glances from time to time.

I'm only like a week late making this. IDK.

Peyton didn't often concern herself with training dummies anymore, but she was on the training fields each and every morning, making herself available to anyone that might want or need a little extra guidance in their training, be it weapon or bare handed. She was there today, her coat unzipped over her usual shorts and t-shirt hanging loosely around her shoulders.

Since their talk on the island, Peyton didn't look at Al in the same loathing fashion, but it would have been a lie to say she was happy to see him standing there waiting for a turn on the dummies. Her lips twitched, features closing down into something cold before she huffed a breath and wandered towards him.

"You'd be better off finding yourself an actual partner. You'll get more practical training that way."

Al blinked as soon as he realized Peyton was actually talking to him. Not to herself or the other person who had been waiting directly behind him. He slowly raised an eyebrow at her in confusion while also raising a hand to point at himself as if to non-verbally ask, "me?". But he wasn't about to argue with her suggestion or question her motives with any genuine effort if he could help it.

"You offering?"

It was something he already knew the answer to. But, as eager as he was to spar, he didn't really honestly think he was strong enough for it yet. Not with any regularity, anyway. He'd dabbled in spars off and on, of course, but he lacked control and oftentimes lost focus when other people were involved. It was a dangerous situation and he was still left reeling from the last big mission he'd been sent off on. He honestly worried he was nearly out of lives to give and wasn't ready to live his last.

Still, it was really just a spar at the end of the day. No actual risk to anyone's life as long as they followed the rules. He couldn't see Peyton as the type to drag people out of the protective wards. There was also the issue of being unable to shake the feeling of his heart beating excitedly at the prospect. Win or lose, he sure loved a good spar.

Weight resting on one hip, she folded her arms and made a show of looking around the training field before returning pale eyes to him. "I don't see any other perma intermediates around here." It was a jab, but her tone lacked the usual scathing heat it usually did when she spoke with him.

Al decided to make a show of his glorious maturity by sticking his tongue out at her. Yup, he was totally still not old enough to drink in America and that was probably for the best.

He held his left hand out, drawing his staff to hand and then grinning at Peyton toothily. "Been a few years."

The sight of the weapon made her smirk, but it was his comment that brought out the sass. "And what have you been doing in that time?" The last time there fought they'd both been intermediate, but Peyton had clawed her way up the ranks rapidly. It had Bengal afew years, and Al didn't seem to have advanced much.

Shrugging out of her jacket, she moved to toss it into one of the picnic tables that edged the field. As she walked back to him she summoned her weapon, those same duel daggers she'd had before, but bigger, longer. Looking like something out of final fantasy.

Warrick rumbled with excitement, and his eagerness bled through their bond. He'd been chomping at the bit all month it seemed like, constantly hungry, constantly urging his partner out onto the training field.

Peyton was fine with that.

"Let's find out, eh?" Not bothering with hesitation, the petite Sun charged at the trainee. Swiping out at his chest with a quick snap of her wrist. Not a hugely powerful blow, but something to wake him up and set him on his toes. She wasn't going to make this easy for him.

"I've been doing what I want," he snapped back irritably. Yes, she'd outranked him. For quite a while, in fact. But he wasn't about to let that get him down. He'd beaten her before, once upon a time. If he lost, then he simply needed to get stronger. If he won, then he still needed to get stronger.

He took the slash with a hiss, but immediately thanked her with a staff to her face-region.

Nuru was rumbling lazily at the proceedings, still not entirely awake himself.

Peyton recoiled with a hiss and a curse as the staff connected with the side of her face, and one hand came up to press the back of it to her cheek, pale eyes narrowing on the trainee. "Oh, that's the game? Alright." If he wanted to play dirty, Peyton was more than happy to oblige.

A cold smile sliding into place among full lips, the petite Sun went on the offensive. Rushing in, she went low, both hands up and blades pointed out. Assuming to sink the both of them as do as humanly possible into his stomach. Toes digging into the dirt for extra leverage.

This close, she didn't have to soak loudly to be heard, the low growl was enough. "So a whole lot of ******** around, right?" Age jerked the blades back on the last. "Cause you haven't been out here."

Al growled as he took the brunt of her vicious attack and was forced to stagger backwards. "S-so what if I have been enjoying my time elsewhere?" He wasn't about to admit he'd been injured in any sort of way or the fact that it spooked him. That wasn't even something he'd admitted to Noah yet. Not until he was strong enough that it didn't matter.

He clutched his stomach as he moved back to recoup and contemplate in the seconds he had, a better tactic.

The Sun frowned at him, a look of disgust flickering across delicate features. "So what? Are you joking? This isn't a resort island, and you aren't here to enjoy yourself! First and foremost, you have a job to do." It had always bothered her, people that signed up knowing full well what they were getting into, and then shirking their responsibilities. It wasn't jut leaving more work for the rest of them, it was making yourself a liability to everyone else on the island, and Peyton considered it ridiculously selfish.

Fueled by this new found irritation at the intermediate, she darted forward to reclaim the space he'd been trying to make for himself. If he was trying to buy himself a moment to regroup, it wasn't going to happen. She struck hard and fast, blade coming in at his side in a backhanded arc.

"Whatever Peyton. You're not my ******** mom," he snapped irritably in reply. Unfortunately for him, a better tactic slipped through his fingers with the distraction and she was upon him again. Slashing deeply into his shield. "And I'm not a ******** sun." Pun intended.

He flapped at her aimlessly with his staff and free hand as if he was trying to shoo an invisible fly instead of sparring like he was supposed to. It goes without saying, it wasn't very effective.

There was more to it though. A lot more than her drawn conclusions of him. Her judgments were harsh and abrupt and tried to go right for his throat. Was it any wonder he didn't feel comfortable enough to actually talk to her about anything? He didn't think so and so he kept his real reasons for anything drawn close to his chest like a hand of poker.
