[quote=@Eklispe] "Well it is true i can't grant my shadow any sort of intelligence it's both more amusing than simply going through exercises in empty air and simoultansly trains my shadow magic. As does just being here actully, there a lot of not so friendly critters here which is why i told you not to come in here alone. Right now we are invisable to them, so just standing here is quite taxing actully." Elza considered the matter with a head tilt of her own, "It would be nice to have someone to spar with though..." she said wistfully. [/quote] Meruin nodded. Well, she wasn't really worried about the hostile creatures; a part of her experience a few years back taught her to have [i]at least[/i] three barriers up at any given time. Her barriers that were currently up would be individually be difficult for even the Sol of back then to breach - according to her memories at least. She sighed internally, she kind of missed Sol and the others. Hearing Elza wistful words, Meruin considered her options. She nodded to herself and said, "If you wish, we could spar. It has been awhile since I've fought anyone - the last person I fought was the previous 3rd ranked council member, and it wasn't much of a fight . . ." The man had laughed at her and generously given her a [i]whole week[/i] to prepare. Needless to say, he lost before a minute had gone up.
