"Good then," Chloe said standing before looking back towards Jacob. "In that case you can teach me how to 'properly train'," she said referencing to their earlier discussion in which he had accused her of not training properly. She gestured towards the punch bag she had never learnt how to use a punch bag as normally she just practised with her two blades on training dummies but having watched Jacob have a go she couldn't help but want to have a go. Additionally it would give her an excuse to spend more time with Jacob as she found him interesting to talk to as she could never predict what he'd do next.

"Aren't you meant to keep you're thumb out of your fist," Chloe said after a few seconds. She wasn't really sure about what to say but she had a vague memory about reading a book in which one character had said that to another but that had been years ago before she had even left home when she was just a kid and the memory was slightly fuzzy. She looked up through her eyelashes unsure at Jacob to his reaction to her statement.

Chloe mimicked Jacob's fist balling her hand up with her thumb under his fingers like hers. Her fist felt some what uncomfortable as she contorted her fingers into a position which they were clearly not normally meant to be in. She pulled her arm before punching at the bag using her shoulder to gather momentum but she dropped it disheartened after she hit the bag with a pathetic thump. Whilst she had taken fairly quickly to fighting with swords and even archery she was fairly useless when it came to using her fists in a fight. She looked back at him unsure about whether she had done it okay or whether she had messed it all up.

"You're so funny" Chloe said rolling her eyes at Jacob's pun her voice rich with sarcasm. She looked down nervous as someone else entered the boxing ring. She wasn't sure why it bothered her that another person had entered but it was different when Jacob was the one watching her but she didn't know why she made the distinction in her mind as surely he was just another person but she trusted him not to laugh at her for her lack of prowess even though she'd laughed at him whilst she could make no assumptions about the newcomer. Closing her eyes for a second Chloe thought about what she was doing with the punch bag before blinking them open with a start and punching the bag five times in quick succession. The moves felt somewhat fluid but still awkward and the sound was a louder more reassuring 'thud'. She rubbed the knuckles on her right hand the impact with the punching bag without gloves sent vibrations running through the bones of her hand.

After a few seconds of hesitation, Chloe took the gauze from Jacob's palm tentatively holding it by her finger tips unwilling to make contact fully with the bloodstains which adorned the gauze which had been made from Jacob's knuckles bleeding. It was unpleasantly warm as she laid it across her knuckles but she put it on anyway. She looked at her hands with a critical eye frowning as she saw that the difference between their two hand sizes as the blood stains left from Jacob's knuckles did not match up to her knuckles.
Chloe raised her hands up to below her chin her hands balled obediently into fists. She closed her eyes searching for something which she could focus on in order to generate the emotion and anger that Jacob had told her to muster. Fixing on the moment when she had confronted her father and mother about her true parentage. She had only discovered it during their study of genetics at school when she had realised that it was impossible for her red haired green eyed father to be her true father. Opening her blue eyes she punched the bag multiple times as she felt the anger at her parents running through her carried through to her punches.

Chloe paused for a second after she had punched the bag multiple times her hands dangling by her sides limps she still covered by the gauze but she was pleased to note that no new blood had joined the blood stains which already existed on it. She looked at Jacob unsure feeling the anger she had channeled for that brief moment melt away and a small smile crept across her face slowly, "Was that okay." she asked tentatively. Outside of the she was confident the type of girl who'd spend her time laughing with her friends at others maybe even at Jacob but here in the boxing ring she had no real idea about what she was doing.

Elianna nodded. “ Alright. Now, don’t be scared if you hurt me on accident. We always have Ambrosia and Nector. Stuff like that.” She went over to her weapons and picked up her daggers, twirling them around as she turned to face Aquila. She got into her stance and nodded as she said, “ Whenever you’re ready, Aquila.” She didn’t want to push the newbie too far or too hard. Aquila nodded; released a slow breath and started to cautiously circle the girl; his gaze becoming more intense the calmer his breathing became. He span the javelin, then dropped into a low stance and stabbed it quickly towards her, sticking to basic attacks for the time being until he got used to the weapon being in his hand. It was times like these that he regretted not accepting the fight-classes his mother had always tried to get him to go to- it was as if the woman had always known he'd need them.

"I dunno," Chloe said unsure of what she was supposed to say. The way he had phrased it made it sound almost like it was a test but Chloe didn't know what her test was on. Her fingers grazed over the gauze scratching slightly into it but the gauze protected her hands from her marks and the only thing she did was slightly unravel a few threads of the gauze. She looked up after a few seconds meeting his eyes; she did feel lighter though about it all like a weight she hadn't even realised was on her shoulders was lifted and she couldn't stop a smile for creeping across her face.

Chloe bit back a laugh as she saw Jacob decimate the punching bag like it was nothing. "You can never resist a chance to show off," she said knowing raising her eyebrows tauntingly but her blue eyes had a mischievous glint in them which revealed her true emotions and how she was only kidding. His feat had been impressive admittedly but as Jacob had almost detached it from the ceiling with the power of his kick but Chloe was less easy to impress.

Elianna dodged, a dagger coming down to help block the javelin from making contact. As Aquila was still open, she darted in, slashing at him as she passed before whirling around, blades at the ready. She didn’t want to go too hard or fast for him as he was learning his weapon. He sucked in a breath of surprise at her quick movements and managed to jump back out of the way of the slash, then lowered the javelin to go on the defence. Suddenly, he had an idea, and wondered if it would help him control his powers- he let electricity surge into the bronze. It took a moment of concentration, but after that, none at all- he was overloaded with electricity most of the time anyways with no way to release it, as his emotions tended to cause surges- but with this, it appeared he could create a more dangerous weapon AND relieve some stress. Bonus! He glanced up at her as his weapon began to crackle, then raised his eyebrows, challenging her.

Her blades caught him multiple times and he flinched every time they sliced into his flesh, leaving behind tender and painful wounds that made it increasingly more tiring to move and block. Whenever their weapons would clash small sparks would jump from the javelin, harmless to the woman until he would touch it to her skin, which he hadn't succeeded in doing yet. When she caught him across the back of one of his thighs, he fell too one knee, panting heavily and planting his javelin in the ground to lean on, head bent. 'Remitto- I yield.' He panted, holding up a hand of surrender.

"Which question," Chloe asked scrunching up her nose slightly as she thought about everything that had been said by Jacob in the last ten minutes or so without success. "What question," Chloe repeated as her short term memory came up a blank.

"Yea charmspeak has its evils. But so does mist control." She said to Burleigh now as she creates a small star from her magic.

'You weren't too hard on me.' Aquila panted, accepting her hand and getting to his feet. 'Training istraining, right?' He put the javelin back and then returned to her. 'Nectar sounds great, for once, I don't want to miss the games,' he grinned at her widely, looking excited.

"It just all depends on how you choose to use your powers that counts." She would say to Burleigh as she splits the magic star into two.
(I have Jade open btw)
