[color=A0A0A0]"Thank you, Dame Tyaethe,"[/color] Fleuri said, bowing to her.  [color=A0A0A0]"Perhaps then, it's best if I make the most of the time I still have to improve myself."[/color]  With that, the knight walked through the doorway to outside.

It was a lot to take in.  Assuming that Merilia was still loyal to the Iron Roses, his guess would be that she was trying to give him some perspective on himself and some incentive to improve.  Still, there were questions left unasnwered.  Was Merilia somehow able to summon the spirits of the past departed knights to a dream?  Or were they phantom approximations of her memories of them?  Additionally, he wanted to find out if any of the other knights received a similar dream.

Upon entering the training yard, Fleuri grabbed a training sword and dagger and began to practice his swings on a dummy.  He closed his eyes, harkening back to the duel with Florian, trying to replicate the blows his foe rained down on him.  He tried some of the counters and parries that Florian had used against him- especially the one that Fleuri had unsuccessfully tried to use against him.  At some point it would be a good idea to find a partner to spar with, but first he wished to practice the movements and motions, to think back to the fight and draw whatever he could from it without any distractions.
