Hello Everyone
Last Night Those Of Us Who Belong To The Golden Kingdom Were Summoned By The Queen To Hear Some Heavily Mysterious And Rather Alarming News
Previous To This Occurrence Feferi Terezi And I Discussed A Possible Meeting To Better Ourselves By Raising Our Skill Levels With The Hope That Doing So Will Increase The Chances Of A Favorable Outcome When Confronting These Otherworldly Creatures
Whatever Is Transpiring It Is Imperative That We Be Prepared And Personally I Would Be More Disposed To Practice In The Presence Of Prospective Partners
In Addition To Showing Signs Of Potential Powers My Dear Friend Karkat Is Currently Training In The Army And Has Agreed To Instruct Those Of Us Willing To Learn In Self Defense Techniques
I Request That You Do Not Bring Weapons As They Will Be Too Conspicuous In A Public Space But That You Do Bring Comfortable Clothing And If You Have Met Anyone Else That You Believe To Be Involved I Highly Encourage You Usher Them Along As More Perspectives Will Only Serve To Supplement Our Understanding Of The Situation
Karkat And I Would Like To Meet Tomorrow At 4 In Central Park Between The Fountain And The Elderly Flash Dancing Lesson
Please Contact Me Presently If You Will Be Late Or Cannot Attend

Bag packed with her sketchbook, raw meat, and grapes, Kanaya found herself ready for the journey to the park. The walk from her new place was a bit longer than before, so even though she lingered while choosing a workout outfit -- a simple white shirt and roomy ankle-length red skirt -- she overshot the timing and arrived nearly twenty minutes early.

She tucked herself beneath a tree near the upbeat dance class, pulling out her sketchbook. The wispy hair, flabby arms, and neon leotards would serve as good drawing subjects and an easy-to-follow beacon for her fellow superpowered peers to home in on.

"Good!" he praised when she managed to block his elbow. He could tell she was struggling a bit, but she was improving quickly. It was interesting to be on the opposite end of training someone. He wondered idly if Bro ever felt pride in his improvement, though he strongly doubted it. It was a struggle to keep his eldest brother out of his mind in a time like this. Doing his best to shut the thoughts out, he focused on the woman in front of him.

"After a good block, if you can bring the momentum forward and launch a counterattack you should go for it," he explained. "Don't let them recover to get another hit in. Block and parry. When I strike, block, then push back and go for a hit."

Immediately he repeats his former movements, swooping past her and aiming his elbow at her back.

Releasing a breath, she was starting to feel a slight strain while training. She had never done this much in a very long time; becoming a Lawyer didn't grant her much time to not sit on her butt reading and studying but she was far from giving up. Terezi brought up her fists and followed Dave's scent; it seemed he was repeating himself which gave her a bit of an edge. Repeating the process again, she had a little more control and strength in her stance.

Blocking the elbow tap, Terezi continue to push her arm against Dave's elbow to try and push it back. In her mind, she figured that there should be an opening near his side. She made sure as she was pushing him away, she was lifting his arm up to expose more of his body.

With her free hand, Terezi went in for the kill. Her exhale sounded more like a grunt; her mind was focusing on the follow through that she didn't think to breathe calmly over the situation. She was holding back and went to tap where she believe Dave's torso would be.

He could have easily fought against her attack, done his own counter, but that wasn't the point of the exercise. Pushed back, he let her get the hit on him. A couple of steps backward to regain his lost balance, he brought his arms up as if to ready for another attack.

"Good work!" he said again. He could see a weariness in her movements, so he straightened and shoved his hands in his pockets. That was probably enough for a first lesson. "Tired? We don't have to keep going. We can always meet up outside of this to train more."

In fact, despite his anxiety about fighting, he kind of liked the idea. Mostly as an excuse to spend more time with her.

Terezi held up her fists ready for another round until he asked if she was tired. She relaxed and lowered her hands; with a nod she sighed with a smile. "Yeah, sadly I rarely do this kind of work. It's exhilarating but tiring at this point."

Her eyes seem to light up at the offer, "Really?! Yeah!" Terezi was trying to hold back her excitement but her grin was giving away her feelings. "I'd like that; I have to be in top shape before the next battle, you know? I think I'll try working on my stamina and strength training in the meantime."

It sounded like more work to put on top of her schedule at school but she knew she wouldn't be able to get anywhere without pushing herself from time to time.
