Darrien stared at his opponent, her palms straightened out as she mimicked two blades out of them. Her look was one of focus, but he could already see the annoyance in her expression. Of course, the fact that she was quite shorter than him must have contributed to said annoyance as well, though he imagined that the fact that he was able to quite easily dodge all her attacks up until now without retaliating must have been the main cause of frustration

Though emotions were still foreign to him, he did get out some enjoyment from sparring with his younger sister, maintaining his own skills and improving that of his sister, though he guessed that in order to improve one's combat skills, both people needed to actually fight and him dodging her attacks with such ease could not be called true combat. However, as his brain was processing all the moves she was doing and predicting all the moves she was trying to do, his earpiece started to beep slowly, probably an incoming message from their appointed knight commander.

Before the second beep even started, his sister attempted a lunge with one of her hands towards his neck, however, displaying his amazing reflexes, he grabbed her by the forearm stopping the attack a mere inch from his neck, the blue plasma shining brightly close to his neck before vanishing, it seems she truly did not want to kill him. Her second attack was a lunge with her second hand, this one, however, he dodged and before his sister could try and use on of her feet for a third attack, he stopped her.

"Hold on, dear sister, we have a message from our dear Knight Commander." A moment of confusion passed, his sister probably thinking this was some sort of trick, before freeing herself from his grip and grabbing her earpiece just in time to hear the message.

[i]“Good morning, team leads and representatives. This is Commander Botrelle, checking in to remind you of your expected attendance at this morning’s quarterly research forum. We have a visiting guest, and several matters to discuss, so I expect to see every one of your lovely faces in the Oak Room on Level One Below in fifteen.” [/i]

It was what he expected, he knew about the meeting each and every second, but if he had to choose between the meeting and sparring with his sister, then it would have not been even a contest, the meeting would have had to wait a bit more, though from the glares his sister threw his way, she was probably not of the same opinion.

The moment he finished donning trademark crimson, he walked for the exit trusting that his sister would follow suit as well and true enough, he heard another pair of light steps and judging by their force of impact, they were his sisters steps alright. It took them about ten minutes to get there and when he entered he could already see Commander Lulu in her seat, having already prepared most of her needed materials for this meeting, but amazingly enough, other than her, they were the first to arrive there.

"Commander, always a pleasure to see you!" Darrien bowed slightly to show respect towards someone of a higher rank and spoke in the most pleasant tone he could muster, though judging from her personality, he guessed that she might have seen through his veil of chivalry and saw the true person behind it, but for once in his lifetime, he could not guess what this person thought. Afterwards, he simply took his seat by the table, the second one to the commanders right and awaited.

His sisters greeting was much less formal than his own, with a simple nod of acknowledgement and a "Commander!" before taking her own seat, the second seat to the Commanders left. It was somewhat amusing that they were placed so symmetrically to one another, for a moment, he thought that maybe the seats were placed like this on purpose, before realizing that command could really not be bothered where the two sat and that this was a mere coincidence.

He turned his head towards the commander, but before he could say anything else to Lulu, the rest of the group arrived, including one of his "friends" and former partners Korra Norrevinter. "Hello, partner!" He smiled as he greeted her and though she was brash most of time, he found the time he spent with her quite enjoyable, especially on the knights they went out, she drank many people under the table and though he himself avoided getting drunk, it was amusing to see men as big as her passed out.

However, before he could say another word, everyone was seated and the meeting started out.
