<div class="floatright">(http://i.imgur.com/yp3k1mQ.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Rein Valkard<br/><strong>Time:</strong>10:00 AM<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Celeste's Villa, Training Grounds<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Izzy, Onyx referenced, Open;<br/><hr/><hr/><br/>Shaking his legs off, Rein licked his lips and prepared to go at the sandbag again, but to his surprise Izzy asked if she could try instead. Folding his arms, he nodded and stepped back, moving to the opposite side of the sandbag, making sure none of it had been compromised yet before he gripped the bag. Part of him wondered just what she wanted to try out... Before the surprise set in following her first kick, where she attempted to execute a rapid sequence with the same limb. Balance and power were needed, enough to keep yourself upright, but striking hard enough to stun your opponent and let the next connect before they had the focus to grab you. This was what necessitated switching, in order to elude your opponent.<br/><br/>"Mmm..." he hummed softly, wondering if maybe she saw the limit to how much he kicked and maybe sought to understand it. It was a holdover from the past, where they trained themselves to the point of risking breaking their bones, resting for a bit, and then continuing... It was a fairly self-destructive tactic that only showed results as time marched on, and some did not even truly believe it. When she stopped kicking to complement his leg strength, he shook his head.<br/><br/>:I was stupid in the past, that's all. Training back then was different... This was before the days the rules changed. It's not something I would recommend anyone doing." He grumbled with distaste. But he had to admit he was pleased with Izzy's observation in seeing it in the first place. Mentioning how running felt better, he nodded. "I agree, nevermind the fact it's far more ethical." He mused. Still, old habits died hard for him...<br/><br/>As she asked what time he usually woke up, he tilted his head up,  hand to his chin. "Anywhere from 6 to 8 AM on my best days... Hm? Is that your idea of a challenge?" He gave a toothy smirk. "Hopefully Onyx won't get jealous of us." He added with a playful remark, though it seemed as soon as he mentioned her name, a look of distaste crossed her features. Howevee, the cause was not the namedrop, but her presence in question that seemed to have the deer on edge. He didn't need to ask why, knowing Onyx's behavior and her eagerness, he could imagine what sort of time the two of them spent together.<br/><br/>The final question prompted Rein to tilt his head with a smile. "Sounds good... What would you prefer? Close quarters unarmed, or weapons training?"
