Janius had suspected that Kaleeth would get frustrated with this exercise, but rather than simply give up, her violent outburst was more than Janius had bargained for. The wooden cut to her arm didn't halt her charge as she held Janius against the wall. Janius opened his mouth and found with a pained face that he couldn't breathe. Immediately, his sword clattered to the ground and he brought both hands up to try and pull at Kaleeth's arm, just enough to take in a small breath and speak with a strain. "Perhaps...a bit...passionate, but...that works..." Janius wheezed in a breath, then tried to smile, "...If you would be so kind...as to release me, then...then I might put a reason to this exercise..."

Even though Kaleeth's face showed a burning anger, Janius trusted her not to go over the edge. He would just rather speak to her without being asphyxiated.

With her limbs restrained and Fendros' weight pinning her, Ahnasha had nowhere to go. Fendros smiled and brushed a hand over Ahnasha's ear after she conceded, then stood up off from her. "That was new," Fendros remarked, rolling one shoulder, "might need some work, though." Stepping back a couple of paces and putting his fists up again, Fendros waited for Ahnasha to recover and ready herself before proceeding.

Once the next bout started, Fendros shuffled forward immediately and threw left jabs at Ahnasha to keep the pressure on her. He tried to keep her out of reach until she inevitably attacked, upon which point he went for a kick to the side of her knee to put her off balance.
