Perhaps after being beat black and blue, I ought to be more cautious with how I fight, who I challenge and why I do it. "We ain't magnificent y'now." Scout, Pillar, Diorite and Kaiser's cannons are all evidence of that. Just means I better work a whole lot harder. My leg shakes, slowly thumping on the ground as I stare at all the empty training mats, surely there's someone itching for a spar, right?

I lurch myself upwards, stepping past station and careers training until I find a somewhat recognizable face. I smile, the same confident grin injected with ounces upon ounces of arrogance worn upon my sleeve. "You look like you could use a friendly spar," I begin, pausing as I try to find a decent weapon on the lack. "Could I care to entertain?"

She doesn't spend as much time in the training center of District One as she should. It just gets boring after some time, and she'd rather be somewhere drowning herself in a bottle. Still, while practicing, Blue finds that she isn't as rusty as she thought — she has been training since she was eight, anyway, just like every other Career here.

It isn't long before she sets her weapon down when a boy with an arrogant smile approaches her. "You look like you could use a friendly spar," he says. "Could I care to entertain?" She wonders what inclined him to ask; perhaps he saw her practicing on the dummies earlier.

Blue raises an eyebrow at him inquisitively, but doesn't ask. She is sure his answer will be simple, anyway. "Sure," she replies, picking up a large battleaxe from the rack — her favorite weapon.

"But I think I ought to know your name first, before we start?"

"even stars burn out."

There's a feeling of magnificence and maleficence when there's a weapon in my hand -- I could do some nasty shit but somehow look great would doing it. It's a power dynamic and when a sword or axe becomes an extension of your arm, you know you can cleave a path of destruction before you with a grace only seen by the gods.

I wonder if she's hit that level; she sure looks like it. And this feels almost confirmed when she reaches and grabs the largest battleaxe from the rack, obviously blunted but the sheer size and weight of it alone could leave bruised skin and a broken ego.

"But I think I ought to know your name first, before we start?"

I nod. "Of course," I say, picking up a sword that must look measly in comparison. "My name's Fray, Achilles Fray." I try not to play it off as a big deal, family names mean nothing here. "And you are?"
