Angela's lack of stamina was a touch annoying but compared to many of the students she'd had she wasn't so bad, for a female she could one day be quiet competent even good if she dedicated herself. Akara was leaning back her arms crossed the blunted tip of the foil dancing lightly across the ground as she watched Angela's back as Angela spoke. A prideful smile took her lips and she ran her fingertips through her hair tossing it back. It was true everything she said and she knew it of course but to have it pointed out stroked her ego and made her feel nice.<br/><br/>The interruption of another voice had Akara's head snapped up and she eyed the snake woman. At her suggestions Akara showed no reaction though she formed her opinions in an instant. she tried to tell herself that her odd distrust of the woman had nothing to do with it, use as her distrust had nothing to do with the fact that she very much disliked snakes. No none of it had anything to do with the other.<br/><br/>At her apology and bow before withdrawing Akara inclined her head a touch accepting the bow of respect with grace before turning back to Angela. "She is right, much of my skill is enhanced not only by being a hero but by the armor you provide me with but gift and blessings are not everything. My master an old man in his sixties can still knock me on my backside should he choose to and he does far too often." She said with a wry smile, "He has not a drop of hero blood in his veins. Do you understand why I'm telling you this?" Akara asked coming forward and placing a hand on the girls shoulder.<br/><br/>She wasn't a normally touchy person but she was trying to adjust her thinking and adapt. If she was to be intimate with Angela then she should be comfortable touching her in a casual manner. "It's to show you that I'm not infallible, there are those who can still harm me and if you work hard enough you can be one of them." She said with a light smile before it turned teasing, "That is if you can manage to keep your breath. I some how expected your stamina to be a bit...more." She said with laughter lurking in her eyes before she turned away shaking her head as she slashed the foil through the air making it whistle with a flick of her wrist.<br/><br/>"OK like I showed you attack and be prepared to parry my counter." She said taking her stance her back strait her shoulder back her sword held loosely in her hand angled across her body, her knees were slightly bent and she stood on the balls of her feet making movement easy. She was training Angela in fencing since it was the only type of sword play where her build and slight frame would be an advantage  rather then a detriment. It was Akara's favorite style one that she relied on heavily in her own particular style.
