The following morning found Calvin sweating and snarling, deciding he needed to get some stuff off his chest. Unfortunately for his men, that meant a rigorous exercise routine, which included a 5 mile run before the sun had even rose and now a rather serious sparing match.<br/><br/>â€œI said COME AT ME!â€ he snarls at his men, all of which were hesitant to advance on him again, having just now recovered from being thrown by him last time.<br/><br/>â€œCOME AT ME! THATS AN ORDER!â€ he practically roared at them, his anger spurring their actions, causing them to lurch forward at him.<br/><br/>The encounter lasted about the span of 6 heartbeats, essentially the time that it took for him to grab and toss each of them. In the end he stood amongst them, his chest heaving with his heavy panting and still not feeling better about his feelings.<br/><br/>â€œOn your feet! We are going AGAIN!â€ he growled.<br/><br/>â€œNow now I think that is enough for today...â€ came the smooth and calm voice of his second as he stepped into view. â€œYou boys go wash up and get something to eat. Training is done for todayâ€<br/><br/>There were several murmurs of thanks as they rush from the training arena, leaving a fuming Calvin in their wake.<br/><br/>â€œWhy did you do that?!â€ he snapped at Erick, the otter only smirked and leaned against one of the training dummies.<br/><br/>â€œBecause you were going to kill them. I know you and that soft heart of yours so I was sparing her the pain of having to deal with that guiltâ€<br/><br/>â€œI had it all under control, I was not going to push them much longer, I just needed....just needed...â€ he growls and snap kicks the dummy Erick was leaning against, making the otter get up from where he was leaning, least he be knocked to the ground by the next kick he knew was coming.<br/><br/>â€œSure you did. You know if you keep this up people are going to think you like that bit...â€ he could not get the rest of the word out as Calvin growled, hemming him up by the throat and slamming him into the wall.<br/><br/>â€œDon't you dare! Don't you fucking dare!â€ Calvin's eyes burned with an intensity that Erick only saw on the battle field.<br/><br/>Raising his hands as a sign of peace and defeat Erick took a much needed deep breath when he was set back down on the ground. Coughing as he rubbed his throat, â€œSorry man. Just teasing youâ€ his voice horse and mixed with a cough.<br/><br/>Calvin sighed, â€œYeah..I know. Come on the morning meal should be done. I need to gnaw on a bone before I lose itâ€<br/><br/>With that the pair strode out together, heading to get their morning meal, Calvin hoping some nearly raw meat helped with his mood.
