Once up Dulga immediately went to put her cloak and mask on. She let out a breath of relief now that she was covered up. She turned her head to Mina and saw that she was speaking to Jais, and for a moment Dulga thought about talking to her about what was said but stopped herself. Mina’s wounds, both physical and emotional, needed time to rest. Instead Dulga looked to Adriane, scowling at her. She was very presumptuous about what Dulga’s mother would have thought. That and Dulga understood Adriane May just be trying to goad Dulga. Hitting sensitive topic, talking about close people, everything Dulga was doing. She wasn’t going to fall for it.

[color=548b54]”If we were fighting in earnest I would have a gun and more holes in my body. Besides… Kasuke-San isn’t someone I can afford to go easy on. She’s stronger than me.”[/color] Dulga said quietly to Adriane. Today’s spar told Dulga one thing: she was crap in hand-to-hand. Sure physically she was stronger and tougher than Mina, but Mina wasn’t fragile either and her blows were much more decisive than Dulga’s wild flailing. Too many times Dulga found herself in a position where she would be dead if Mina was after her life, and Dulga only had one clean hit on Mina who survived angrier and stronger than before. Dulga needed to improve.

It was just then a stranger who had been watching them fight approached. Dulga didn’t know who she was but she offered to take Dulga up for a bout. Cracking her shoulders Dulga shook her head. [color=548b54]”Soon. I need to go take a shower.”[/color] Looking down at her foot, Dulga also needed to fix her boot. One shot of Mina’s laser cut a clean hole through it and Dulga’s sock, and she wanted to make sure she didn’t get a wound that could get infected.
