Alexander had wandered off to the training yard, deciding that the best way to force out his stress would be to beat a wooden dummy into something less recognizable. Yes, that would let him vent well enough, keep him from being angry at Calliope. That wouldn't bode well, especially considering he didn't want her to see him as a jailer. His blade was out, slashing quickly against the dummy in front of him. It was just solid wood, showing innumerable cuts and nicks from session after session of training. Quickly, Alexander felt the sheen of sweat on his brow, and immediately felt the chill of the cold outside, but he ignored it as he fell into a rhythm, his blade moving in patterns across the dummy.

Alexander heard the steps before he heard the voice they belonged to, assuming some knight or guard in this manor had decided to come and train. 'Heh, rookies...' Alexander decided to give a little show, moving faster, his blade becoming harder to see as it weaved across the dummy. Deciding to top it off with a move that he had been working on, Alexander slammed the blade of his sword into the dummy, leaving it jutting out from the wood. He spun as he went, both of his hands crossing behind him, pulling two daggers out from seemingly nowhere, hurling them both into two separate dummies. As he spun around, he noticed Calliope. "Oh... Hello there..." His blade was sticking out of the dummy, two daggers sticking out of other dummies.

Quite the performance.
