Libby had woken with the sun, even if her sleep hours were few it was all routine really. She got up, went for a morning run, did a few practice runs with the combat dummies and then finally washed up at the fountain. She was in her cabin studying her book from the previous night when the smell of the strawberry fields and breakfast wafted through the cabin areas. If she weren't so entranced in her katas she would have heard Zac's scream and been more worried for him. However she didn't hear it and didn't see him head toward the shore for that matter. By the time he arrived back in the camp area she was already washing up.<br/><br/>Dressed for her daily workouts and training she had her shield strapped to her back, her sword at her side and her leather armor in tact. It had taken her nearly all the time she had spent there to obtain all that gear but it was well worth it in the end. Especially when the Ares boys beat you down during a practice run. They may be good in a fight but she was just as good a match. The only difference was how many bruises she left with. Just because Libby was a girl she wouldn't let them treat her any differently. She could last a good while, sometimes longer than most of the others, but there were a few who got a lot of good hits on her and she'd take them without complaint. At least without complaint in front of others, in her own privacy it was a whole different matter.<br/><br/>Now that things were getting going she started down to the mess hall. Her stomach reminded her that it was needing attention as much as her physique did. She pushed back her dark hair and continued down to find something to satiate that bit of hunger. She did keep an eye out for Terry or Zac, or even any new people who might be decent in the training field.
