[color=lavender]Belladonna spun around on her feet after hearing approaching footsteps. She nodded along to Kuroi's words and let out a deep sigh. The tension was rising inside of her and she needed to let go of it somehow. She itched to train her magic and return to learning combat. [color=lightskyblue]"I suppose we'll have to go and see what happens. Maybe we can go shopping later."[/color] Belle paused as she glanced around to take in the city, then looked over at the forsaken forest. 

[color=lightskyblue][b]"Rosemary dear, where do you think we should go train?"[/b][/color] She then looked over at Kuroi and smiled pleasantly. [color=lightskyblue]"[b]I noticed you had a keen ability to fight, especially pertaining to martial arts. I thought we could both train together and out of the watchful eye of others. You can show me what you know, and I can show you what I know as well. After all, we're in this together aren't we?"[/b][/color] Belladonna studied his expression after she spoke, then looked over at Rosemary for a response. She nodded to give her time to speak.

[color=pink][b]"Yes, right this way, Miss."[/b][/color] Rosemary smiled at her and began leading the group casually away from the city. Belladonna glanced around when possible and tried to act casual. She didn't want to seem as if she were new to Roshmi. Morgayne flew beside her, and Bella couldn't help but admire her ability to fly. How many times had Belle wished she could fly - it must have been countless. She kept gazing up at the birds flying over head with wonder and fascination. Life would be so much easier if she could have just flown away the Day the gang had nearly killed her. The vengeance sweeping through her blood nearly made her forget her task at hand, so she gripped her bow tightly. She started to play a game in her mind with what she could see, taste, smell and hear. Seeing as Roshmi was a big city, it was an easy and distracting task. 

Once the group was safely out of view of others and secluded, Belladonna turned to address everyone. Speaking seemed to come naturally for her, as her words slipped out of her mouth before she could stop herself. She hated to reveal herself to them, but she needed to know and also learn how to properly defend herself. She didn't want to spoil that she was an accomplished thief. That was probably not a noteworthy  trait to share; it wouldn't help gain their trust. She needed to gain their trust and respect, especially since she was the leader of them now. She would also fail to mention how she hated listening to the rules.

[color=lightskyblue][b]"So, why don't we take the time to name our best skill, and start helping one another learn it? For me, my talents range from parkour, hand-to-hand combat and using knives. I am not as well versed in martial arts as you Kuroi, however I'm sure you could teach me. I also like the bow and am basic with it, which I would love to improve. Namely, that sword you're carrying, Regulus, looks like a glorified knife, and I am interested in learning how to use it. I also cannot swim well, nor do I enjoy running."[/b][/color]

Belladonna took a deep breath, then continued. [color=lightskyblue][b]"Furthermore, I would like that everyone here keep what is discussed and done in training within this group of people. What stays in training, stays in training. We do not want to give our enemies an advantage."[/b][/color] Belle finished and turned to allow Regulus to speak. The others turned as well, following her lead.

Regulus, a burly demi-human centaur with piercing blue eyes and smile, burst out laughing. She hadn't been certain this man knew how to crack a joke, but he had. Thankfully, he could. She couldn't roll with someone strict. [color=sandybrown][b]"Glorified knife. Yes, I can show you how to use the glorified knife m'lady. I am not skilled at hand-to-hand, nor climbing. I prefer to keep my hooves on the ground.[/b]"[/color] Belle giggled at his words, then nodded as he finished. 

Next, she turned to Elleta; a soft-spoken but stern Elf who, if looks could kill, would be capable. She raised her brows at her questioningly. [color=palegreen][b]"The bow, and also, agility like you. I can also help teach you how to use your magic. I taught humans in the past how to control their abilities."[/b][/color] Elleta let out a small sigh as she recalled her past, and she noticed Regulus claps her shoulder soothingly. Elle responded by holding his hand affectionately. She had no idea how old this group was, but knew it was much different than Earth's ages. Belle wanted to master the bow and art and become as lethal as possible. She already had the basics down with the bow and felt as if it came naturally to her. The magic, though, would be more difficult. She wasn't excited about her power and wondered why the hell she couldn't have  something less related to her traumatic past.

Belladonna nodded and thanked her quietly, then turned to Morgayne. [color=cornsilk][b]"I am skilled with zoolinguilism, as you noticed earlier. I can use healing too. I'm weaker with chlorokinesis. I have great endurance with flying, too."[/b][/color] Belladonna nodded with gratitude and gestured for Rosemary to speak.  She was curious to see what her mentor had in store ability wise. 

[color=pink][b]"I am skilled at archery as well and possess excellent control with light magic. I am using some right now, actually, to keep us hidden from the city and wandering eyes. I am, however, not good with knives or swords."[/b][/color] Bella glanced up to see a shimmering wall around their secluded forest area. She smiled faintly. The others had noticed it but hadn't spoken nor pointed it out. They wanted Bell to experience everything firsthand. She appreciated them letting her notice it and comment on her own. She found the magic to be wondrous and felt a small thrill of excitement. How much else did this world hold for her to experience? 

[color=lightskyblue][b]"I appreciate your answers, thank you everyone. Now,"[/b][/color] Belladonna turned to finally address Kuroi. [color=lightskyblue][b]"Please let me know what your skills and abilities are. Some of us are better at combat, others at healing, and some with other crafts. I would like you to please let us know so we can effectively train."[/b][/color] Belladonna waited for him to speak and nodded encouragingly. She was keeping a pleasant demeanor up in order not to show her tension or anxiety.[/color]
