The sound of metal striking wood ...
"Excellent! Â And again!"
A grunt, metal striking wood yet again ...
"Well done, Asdrellia! Â I think you need a rest though." Â Wolkan smiled, laying a hand on Asdrellia's shoulder.
"I think s-so as well."
She had been practicing for most of the day, Wolkan teaching and guiding her. Â Her arms felt heavy and her back hurt. Â But she gave a little smile at the compliment.
"Rest yourself. Â We will continue tomorrow. Â But you have gotten the thrust down quickly. Â Swinging ... well, we will practice more." Â Wolkan chuckled. Â "No offense, but you look like you are trying to swat a fly away."
"I am s-sorry --"
Wolkan waved a hand as he led her through the streets of Ul'Dah, and back to the Sands. Â "It's fine. Â It will take time but I believe you are honest in what you say, and you will become strong enough."
Asdrellia nodded, the pair stopping outside her room.
"Brother E-Sumi bade me remind you to not leave your room while here. Â It is on the fifth floor so none but a bird could reach you through the window. Â Now, eat, rest, and I will see you on the morrow." Â Wolkan bowed, turning on a heel and left her to put key in lock and enter her room.
Her whole body felt like lead as she removed the armor, leaving it in a pile on the floor. Â She was sweaty, dirty, and felt horrible.
"P-Perhaps a nice bath ..."
Turning to go behind the divider, Asdrellia went about pouring water into the tub, unaware of a large bird perched on the sill of her open window. Â Large black eyes moved as it scanned the room ...
"Excellent! Â And again!"
