At least she was an above-par Linecaster. "Thanks. Now I know how it feels." He smiles tightly, as the throbbing in his shoulder starts to increase and old instincts rear their heads. He goes to try and see if he can tug his training knife out of the air.

"That's a double negative," he points out. "But I wasn't trying to kill you. Unless I'm otherwise ordered, my objective is to simply put an enemy combatant out of commission, and this was training, not an actual fight." He just did it again. He didn't need to say all that, did he.

Fresco jumped out of the way of the kick, then skipped in and threw an uppercut had Ayia's jaw--but it was a feint, and out of nowhere came a powerful left hook to her head.

Unable to get out of his grip, Ayia used a foolproof method to escape: stomping his foot. Hard. Edited January 28, 2021 by Channelknight Fadran

She brandished it, swinging it over her head and around her back like a pole dancer. "You give up yet?"

Spren of Kindness she/her Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 Martin walks over to the tree he had thrown a knife at and leans against it, locking his jaw. He's an idiot. A massive idiot. Manpower doesn't not trump magic, and isn't that a thing to say? Magic's real. His shoulder aches dully, and he absently rubs it. There's almost certainly a bruise forming there. Okay. Get moving. He walks over to Ayia. "I'll be honest, I'm not sure what good I am on an elite team." @Channelknight Fadran
