[quote=paigesweetheart] [quote=TheDarkTemplar] "Its been a while since I've had to teach someone but sure why not. Nice to meet you Ariella, name's Shane and this right here is Riya", Shane unsheathed the short sword for Ariella to see before gesturing for her to hold it. "Well we better get to the training room if we wanna get enough time in" [/quote] Ariella's eyes widened as she saw him unsheathing the sword. Oh. That's what he meant by sparring! But she had no idea what to do with a sword! That was so much worse then her not knowing how to fight with her hands. She thought it was going to be some kind of hand to hand spar and he teaching her but it wasn't. Ariella looked down at the sword, slowly reaching for it and not knowing how to grab it. "I'm sorry... I can't do this... I don't know how to use the sword and I REALLY don't want to end up hurting someone because of it." she said turning her attention to Shane giving him a small smile, hopefully he would understand her little situation. Unless he will go easy and train her, then sure. She is a fast learner! And she can't be relying on her powers always. [/quote] Shane let out a short chuckle before taking back Riya, "Haha oh no, no one handles Riya but me and I wouldn't start you off with swords. I meant hand to hand combat and maybe some sparring with our powers". Shane could tell Ariella wasn't the type to favor weapons, perhaps he could change that over time. Hey for all he knew he could have a new partner. Wait no, it wouldn't be right to bring her into this kind of life...then again it could be nice to relive the good old days having a partner again. "Wow I make myself sound old", he thought before turning his attention back to Ariella, "Come on, I'll go easy on ya. Besides it's been a while since I've worked on my fighting so it should be a fair fight" he said before begining to head in the direction of the training room. If she followed then he'd soon have a partner, if not then oh well, just meant he wouldn't have to split the payoff for each job.
