<div class="floatright">(http://i.imgur.com/RoDooxQ.jpg)</div>Pipa and Vania loitered at the edge of the gym as Pipa related in detail the state she had both found, and left, Tharja in. She also made sure to inform her that they would be gaining Tharja as a roommate.<br/><br/>“... and when I saw the headmistress, she advised me to train in eros magic, as a supplement to my other training.  She made a convincing- uh, demonstration.”<br/><div class="floatright">(https://imgur.com/i4xGSc8.jpg)</div><br/>Vania raised an eyebrow and giggled, “I heard half the courtyard caught a demonstration of your rear.”<br/><br/>Pipa laughed, it was really more funny than embarrassing. She noticed her sense of modesty shifting dramatically in her new, albeit temporary, home at the Temple of Cyril.<br/><br/>“Two green cheeks, flat against the glass, plain as day,” Ursak interrupted, approaching from the same direction they had entered. She gave Vania a warm, confident smile before exchanging a long, stoney, unreadable look, that left Pipa a little unsure about Ursak's reaction. She wondered how the half blooded contestant would interpret her appearance in the window of the headmistress’s office. As a show of strength and confidence, she hoped.<br/><br/>Ursak let her wonder for a nervous moment, before cracking up, grasping Pipa by the shoulder and giving her a playful shake.<br/><br/>Pipa and Vania both joined in on the laugh. Pipa relished the camaraderie that she felt growing in their group.  She tried not to dwell on the likely fate that some or all of them, would be lost to the dungeon and its perils.<br/><br/>“You think too much, peavta,” Ursak said, when she noticed Pipa's attention wavering. “Time to train.”<br/><div class="floatright">(https://imgur.com/kZFIW0b.jpg)</div><br/>Pipa nodded, in agreement with both points.  Ursak was clearly pleased that she had worn her gift, as Pipa quickly slipped out of the clothes she had worn over the leather bikini set. The aggressive half orc stood by with her hands on her hips,  grunting out a short, guttural syllable in approval.<br/><br/>Pipa clapped her hands together once as she strode out into the center of the practice area.  She squared her stance and prepared to spar.<br/><br/>Ursak was happy to oblige. They spent the next 20 minutes tangled in a series of takedowns. Some holds were slightly lingering and there were more than a couple instances of wandering hands, but for the most part it was a lot of demonstrating defensive blocks and different approaches to countering them.<br/><br/>Vania watched, and wanted a turn against Ursak when Pipa plopped down on her butt to catch her breath.  The lithe, adept elf landed a solid elbow to Ursak's nose, as she spun away from an attempted grapple, and spent the next few  minutes apologizing as Ursak laughed, pinching the bridge of her nose as it released a steady stream of bright blood.<br/><br/>A temple priest approached, and Ursak allowed them to perform a simple healing spell, before they directed the trio to the baths.<br/><br/>
