Juniper slammed her sword into the ground and supported her body against it beads of sweat sliding down her face. She hadn't realised how exhausted she was but it all added up. They were up early for a morning run before breakfast, followed by class training and now the extra training with Geir. She heard her mother's voice in her head; "Pace yourself, June, you should be more careful," which made her shudder. She tried not to think of her mother too often.<br/><br/>"I'm fine," she uttered. "It's all these layers making me hot." Unable to admit she was tired to Geir, fearing that she would seem weak to her training partner, she stuck with her lie and removed her heavy outer tunic. Underneath she wore a thinner cotton vest, which clung to her skin due to sweat highlighting her curves. The family crest on her right arm was exposed, it was a pair of dragon wings fanned out and below it was a naked oak tree.  "I'll ready again in a minute."<br/><br/>Aynir gave a low growl, warning her to slow down. He nuzzled against her, offering himself as a leaning prop. Stubbornly, both glared at each other until Juniper sighed and raised her hands in defeat. "Actually, I'm going to have to call it quits for today," she admitted with a slight pout. Annoyed with herself, she could not bring herself to look Geir in the eyes and so locked her gaze on the ground by their feet.
