The salle- Wednesday afternoon

[thatwaslucky]

This was still happening.

By today, Rey had just gotten frustrated enough to go down to the gym with her staff, to pound things until she felt better. There were dummies set up, and moving helped, so those poor things were just going to take a whacking today.

Yeeeep. She wasn’t trying to think about how that would sound out loud.

[Hey, remember the gym and salle? Open!]

"I can test that later," Aloy said. "I haven't had any practice in a while."

“All right,” Rey nodded, stepping clear of the dummies, and added apologetically, “This May not be my best work.”

"Don't worry. Your life doesn't depend on it," Aloy said, raising her spear into a staff-stance.

“That’s the first thing to go right this week,” Rey quipped, skipping starting in any real Stance- she didn’t usually spar with people- and going in with a high blow.

Aloy caught it easily, but then it was a starting shot, wasn't it? She countered with one of her own, tapping her would-be staff down low, towards Rey's knee. "Bad week?"

Rey caught that, too, turning her hands to try a slightly faster shot to Aloy's shoulder.

"Hasn't it been bad for everyone?"
