<div class="floatright">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/f/fd/Valdar.jpg)</div><strong>Character name:</strong>Rhoven Bryce (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=234819.msg11565549#msg11565549)<br/><strong>Position:</strong>Valdar, formerly Gaidin<br/><strong>Bondmate:</strong>None<br/><strong>Tag:</strong>Yfan, Kombatants, Open<br/><strong>Time:</strong>Afternoon, Saven 6th, 990NE<br/><strong>Place:</strong>Training Grounds<br/><strong>Warning:</strong><br/><hr/><br/>Rhoven managed not to twitch at being called Valdar. It was a slow process, but he was getting used to it. He watched the sparring in silence, towel about his neck. They certainly both seemed to do a lot of talking. Rhoven preferred to fight in relative silence, save his breath and give his opponent as few indications what he was thinking or doing as possible. Maybe he had been more talkative back in the day? Janna had teased him about it once, but, he couldn't remember the last time he had attempted something like witty banter. Both combatants were skilled, regardless, Kalain as expected and Theraeve surprisingly so. He hadn't seen her get quite so... Physical, before. He wasn't about to complain.<br/><br/>"I wouldn't judge it improper, in a real fight." Rhoven agreed with the trainee. A bit rude in a sparring bout, perhaps. "You do whatever you have to, including going for your opponents throat with your teeth." He said grimly. "A sharp blow to the forehead is useful. The skin is thin, and bleeds heavily. You can blind your opponent with their own blood if you get a good strike." He glanced at Yfan again. "A headbutt would be more practical from Th- From the Aes Sedai. She's smaller. It's easier to bring her head up, in to the nose." He shrugged after a moment. "It's easy to make guesses from here, but you don't know until you're in the moment. Keep watching people more skilled than you are. Even if you can't emulate them now, it's something to work towards. You'll be there soon enough." He advised. Hopefully the trainee would take his duties more seriously than Rhoven had, and avoid his mistakes.<br/><br/>
