*A bright day today. Not quite blazing, but one would be hard pressed to call themselves cold. A clear blue sky smiles back at the land and warm breezes kiss the people below. A good day to be alive, and a better one to fight!*

*The NS courtyard, hosting many uses. Today, it's hosts a spar between Katherine Vein and Charlotte De'Loin. An almost flashy battle, amassing itself quiet a crowd despite it's nearing end.*

*Charlotte stands a pole's length away from Kath. Nestled in her battered armor, scratched and dented from blows of her captain. Still, the macen stood strong, gripping her quarterstaff with determination.*

*Quickly, she engages once more with a few powerful jabs. Advancing on her captain, but careful not to overextended. She was practicing to keep her head in a fight after all.*

*Wood clashed against wood as the staff was deflected once, then twice, but the third one got in. The thrust was strong, and could have left serious injury had they not been wearing armor. Under the armor, Katherine was extremely exhausted; unlike Charlotte, she definitely didn't have as much stamina. Alas, this was one of the restrictions of going into magic; it left her unable to focus as much in the physical aspect.*

*Katherine braces her staff against Charlotte's going in for a bind and raising both weapons up, then suddenly abandons her weapon and tries to grab Charlotte's arms. She doubted that she could win, but she needed to practice it anyway.*
Amy
*The blond is seeming caught off guard by the sudden grapple. Her arms seized and unable to effectively use her weapon. Charlotte hadn't much clue what to do now in this moment. Her weapon rendered ineffective and being caught in such an uncomfortable state...*

*But Charlotte's physical prowess wasn't to be underestimated. Her arms captured, but her legs were still able. The Macen then brings her foot in between kaths legs, attempting to trip the woman as she pushed forward with her whole body in a bit for power against Kath.*
Joshua
*Katherine had good position, but Charlotte's power combined with the smooth steel bracers caused the woman to fall flat on her back. Instinctively, she puts her hands up near her face, knowing that Charlotte still has her quarterstaff. Breathing hard, she slowly lowers her guard and opens her visor.*

"Alright, I think that's good for the day, Char. I'm beat."

*Sitting up, Katherine removes her helmet, taking in deep breaths. Sweat caused her hair to stick to her forehead, and heat radiated from her.*

"How long have we been sparring for?"
Amy
*Charlotte rests at ease as Kath declares the fight over. Panting for a moment as she attempts to cool her blood, tossing her staff to the side.*

*She pulls off her own helmet completely nestling it into her armpit. She smiles down at her captain, skin glistening from sweat. Extending a hand to help Katherine up, she ponders the question.*

"Hmm. I'd say about a month? Maybe two... Why d'ya ask?"
Joshua
"I meant this session, dummy."

*Smiling, Katherine accepts Charlotte's hand, standing back up to her feet. She would definitely need to wash after this.*

"That was good! Seems like I still need to work on my power. What are you doing afterwards?"

*Katherine begins heading back to the armory, preparing to change.*
