It was a common misconception that those around her believed Efos didn't have the sense of touch. Her Grace just stopped pain receptors in her brain, which thankfully left her with an unhindered sense of touch. In that moment, Efos was exceptionally grateful for this as Tristan wrapped her hands. It was a delicate action, which was a striking juxtaposition as to what they were about to do, and the small moment of connection wasn't lost on Efos, who savored every moment of interaction with those she liked; a graceling lived a lonely life.

Efos didn't hesitate as she planted a foot before her and swung with her weight behind her, aiming for his side. She wasn't afraid of hurting her fellow guardsmen, as his Grace was hand to hand combat. A small fearless girl couldn't do any damage that he couldn't handle. A more sensible man would think twice about challenging someone who was supernaturally gifted in fight, but Efos wasn't a sensible man. Perhaps she was just a glutton for punishment.

'Michai held his breath. "I wanted to see the king today." He said matter-of-factly. He knew seeing the kind was one of high request, but maybe if he played with Ms.Lolas mind, maybe he could see him. He stood to his feet and dusted his clothes off.



Attai widened her eyes. "Free?" She couldn't believe her ears! Freedom. Oh to be free! She looked at the boy with wonder. "I wish I could live without fear of being taken." Her whole life she had been running from the king, hiding herself.

(Umm do you have anyone free? Maybe the baker?)

Yo, I'm here.))

Alejo looked over and spotted Hava and Rivi. "Good morning. Are the girl's wounds better?" If they weren't he didn't want to have force her to train. She already hated the king enough and he didn't want to make it worse.

(Stormsong~ i am going to guess she went into the Bakery?)

(after i finish with rping with eloquent and the bread i'll have your character be next in line )

Tristan allowed her hit to make contact, but as soon as her fist touched him, he spun around and used a roundhouse kick to knock her off her feet. “Again.” he said as he helped her off the ground and retook his fighting stance. “This time, try aiming for my chin or throat. I know you’re short, but hitting someone in the side, especially when you are weaker than them, won’t be effective. You have to use your short height to your advantage and aim for the soft spots on your attacker. If you hit a man in his throat or chin with enough force, punching upwards, you can possibly knock them out.” He told her. “Now, attack me again.”

Lola blinked, her mind growing slightly foggy. “See the king?” She asked, frowning. “I suppose we could go see him. He should be in the throne room right now.” She said, taking his hand. “Let’s go together!”

“Why of course you can!” he said confidently. “You just have to go to one of the kingdoms that offer refuge to gracelings.” He said, as if it was as simple as that.

Efos could hear the blood pumping in her ears now. This was good; exactly what she needed. The royal family had been exceptionally bad recently, namely the Prince and the King, and she needed to get her frustration out somehow. Positioning herself into a fighters stance again, she vaugley wondered what it was like to feel pain. How much was too much? Was it all the same? Could some take more than others? Questions rattled off in her mind, distracting her for a few moments. Shaking her head as though to physically rid herself of those thoughts, Efos nodded at her fellow guardsmen's words, and this time swung upwards towards his chin. She was awfully short, and unsure if her fist was even going to make it to its mark.

Hava nodded and gestured for Rivi to show him her hands. “They are almost as good as new! I would just ask that you be careful and go slow with her training.” She instructed, her eyes begging him to care for the girl. 

Rivi held her hands out for Alejo to see. She wasn’t sure what training with him would entail, but she knew she couldn’t unleash her fire like she had the last time she saw the man.

I’m planning on making another character so are there any particular types of characters we need more of? Normals, Gracelings, nobles etc)

Normals/nobles are in short supply right now.))

Alright I’ll see what I can do)

Alejo looked over at the Rivi and pointed to some wooden dummies about 15 feet away from where they stood. "I want to figure out the range your fire reaches and how much you can control it so I've set up an exercise for you. I would like you to use the least amount of flame you can on order for it to hit that target."
