This was new. Kaleeth actually had Janius down. Sure, she had knocked him down before, but he was usually quick to recover. This time, however, she had her weight on him, so he couldn't move as freely. It was definitely a success, but it wasn't over yet. Frantically, she tried to think about what to do next. In her training, she had been taught not to let an opportunity go to waste, both by Janius, and by her father when she was becoming a hunter. Even if she didn't make the best choice, she had to do something.
Janius' shield protected his upper body, and Kaleeth did not know what to do to get around it, so she just tried to hit whatever was open. She did what she could to keep her shield between her and his axe, then started to strike at his right leg with her mace. Being that they were not in an actual fight, she did not hit him as hard as she could, so it was enough to hurt, but not injure beyond bruising. She couldn't really kill someone by hitting them in the leg, but she figured giving an opponent a broken leg would be better than nothing.

As they started again, Kaleeth quickly saw that he was going for the exact same attack. Since she was a bit more prepared this time, she knew how to respond, but she still had some worries about what he would do afterwards. After all, she had already told him what she intended to do, so he must have had some other kind of response in mind. She did not know what that would be, but she was hesitant to try the same thing again.
Kaleeth once again kept a close eye on his axe as she pushed forward with her shield with as much force as she could muster. Instead of trying to grab the axe, she lifted up her shield as she pushed forward to make it more difficult for him to unhook his weapon while keeping her mace ready and tried to pay close attention to whatever he was trying to do. If he did not attack, then she would just try and barrel over him.

Kaleeth felt a bit of frustration with her failure, but it was nothing new. It only served to motivate her further to learn, so she would not have to feel it so frequently. She stopped and looked down at her shield as Janius spoke, going over in her mind what she had done in the fight. Overall, she tried to make sure her thoughts focused on her advantages; what Janius said she was good at.
"Well...I was trying to grab your axe and pull it out of your hand. It would give me a chance to attack, but..." She began, taking a moment to contemplate what would have made her more successful. "You pushed, instead of pulled. If I wanted to protect myself, and maybe get your axe, I should have pushed too. You couldn't have attacked me if I would've pushed with my shield before you did. I am stronger than, well, almost everyone, so that would usually work. I just have to focus on what I am good at."

Kaleeth was disappointed her attack did not work, but she really did not expect anything different. He was able to block her strike, and given that they were simply training, it wasn't too forceful. As well, he grabbed her shield, which was strapped to her arm, but if he started to twist it, she would have to resist instead of letting it twist as she could with a center grip shield. At least since she was making sure to watch his axe, she was able to block his initial strike. However, he was quickly able to bring up his weapon to hook over her shield and pull it down.
Kaleeth felt exposed with her shield being pulled as low as it was, so she tried to think quickly on how to respond. Her immediate thoughts were to what Janius had told her. She would never be faster than him, but she could always be stronger. She knew that she should not even attempt to outdo his agility, so she tried to react with force. Reaching over with her weapon hand, she attempted to grab the blunt side of his axe so she could pull back on the weapon as hard as she could, and hopefully bring it out of his grasp.

I'm about to go to bed, so I made a shorter post. Goodnight.
Once in position, Kaleeth took up her defensive stance. Her shield was decently sized and, when held as Janius showed her, could quickly move to block high or low attacks. It was important that she kept her shield ready to defend, as doing so with her mace was much more difficult. Without any sort of guard, she could risk losing fingers if she blocked incorrectly in a real fight. It was something that made her feel like it might be a good idea to try to learn to use a sword eventually, but for now, the mace was easier. At least with it, she did not have to worry about aligning a blade properly with each swing. Even being slightly off could drastically reduce a sword's cutting potential.
As they began, Kaleeth did her best to do everything just as Janius had been teaching her. She had to think about it more consciously than someone like Janius, but by this point, she was at least following all the right steps. Her stance was good, her attention as focused as it could be on his movements, and her shield held at the right distance. Since she had a few moments to think, she decided to open with something more than a basic swing. Taking a few steps forward, she tried acting as if she was opening with one of the shield charges she was fond of, but instead swung low with her mace at his hip while trying to keep her eye on his weapon. Of course, the attack was not perfect, and she telegraphed her move more than she intended, but it was a less straightforward approach than she had been taking.

"I know, Meesei told me about it before." Kaleeth said as she finished up her breakfast. "It makes me nervous knowing that there is a metal that can hurt us so much. Just touching it can burn my scales, she said. I think I remember feeling that when we were fighting in that village, but it is hard to know for sure. My beast spirit was mostly in control then, so my memories are not all clear. Meesei said it isn't a common metal though, so that is good. She also said that the weapons it makes aren't very strong except against us, so only people expecting to fight lycans will use it."
Kaleeth stood up, looking down at Janius once again with an enthusiastic expression. "But I can worry about that later. I want to train." She said, walking the short distance to her bedroll. She started to put on her armor piece by piece as she continued the conversation. "Last time we fought, I did okay. I mean, I wasn't that good, and I would have died without you, but I think I did help. I don't think I'll ever be as good as you, but if I can just make myself a bit better, you won't have to worry about protecting me so much."

Ahnasha had somewhat managed to regain her composure by the time Fendros returned, so her appearance seemed normal once more. She remained fairly quiet as they began to eat, since Rhazii was still asleep. He had awoken once in the middle of the night, but he was still asleep for the moment, so she wanted to keep it that way. Although, with the increasing activity in the camp, it would probably not last long. "Sure, let's just try to keep it quiet. I really do not want to bother the others with this."
Kaleeth tried a few bites of the meat, noting that it was much more tender than usual. Even knowing that she could not catch diseases from it, eating the undercooked meat still felt strange and worrying. Like everything else, she supposed she would get used to it in time. "Yes, it's just...strange. Argonians are pretty resistant to disease, but to be completely immune...it is hard to think that I will never get sick again. It doesn't matter what you run into or how disgusting it is, you never have to worry. Hirince's magic must be strong. Although, I still worry that there might be something out there that can hurt us. What if another Daedra makes a disease?" She questioned as she ate. Even with her initial worry about the meat, she was eating rather quickly, which was mostly driven by her desire to get to their training. She had already collected her weapons and armor next to her bedroll, so all she needed to do was equip them and find an open area to spar, of which there were plenty on the beach.
