Training.

Character(s): Squall and Maria.
Location: Training Center.
Rating: PG
Open/Closed/Finished: Closed
Summary: Maria's first training session with Squall.

Maria had a private message waiting for her on BBS:

Meet me in front of the Training Center at 1900 hours. No GFs. Be ready for combat.

-- SL


Squall was waiting in the hallway that led to the Training Center, leaning against the wall with his arms folded over his chest. He didn't have the Lion Heart with him, instead opting for a simple Revolver, but he had some decent magic equipped, along with Shiva and the Brothers: Aura, Curaga, Double, Thundaga, and Haste were among his arsenal for the day. The Commander also had a few Remedies and Potions, for the rare chance that something should go wrong. He didn't want Maria or himself to end up as T-Rexaur food -- that would be a terrible first tutoring session.

Locked in his own thoughts, his brow furrowed heavily. Truth be told, he was a little nervous. He had no idea what had possessed him to offer to teach Maria, but now that he had, he didn't want to do a bad job at it. Squall sighed and leaned his head back until it bumped softly against the wall. He hoped he wouldn't screw up.

Honestly? He didn't really need to worry about Maria. Hasted and with upgraded gunblades, which as everyone knows are overpowered weapons, she didn't need GFs and Junctions to cut through the grats. She had plenty of her own muscle that she'd earned the hard way.

Not that she was unscathed, mind; the grats had laid open several stripes on her forearms, which she seemed inclined to block with if she couldn't parry with her blades in time. She hadn't taken any wounds to the chest or head, so call it a victory as far as it went.

Trusting the Commander to do his thing with the T-Rexaur, she flipped lightly over one grat, nailed it to the ground with both gunblades, then chain-pulled the triggers like she was being offered a prize for most twitches of an index finger in ten seconds. Needless to say, when she yanked her weapons free of the ground, the grat didn't move much any more.

"Not unharmed, but not unreasonably harmed, sir," she said quite truthfully. Pain from this sort of wound was nothing to her, a minor annoyance at best. "It may seem arrogant to say this after only a few months of training, but I kind of feel like grats are old hat."

She spun her weapons back into place, then dug out a roll of linen bandages from a small pouch on the strap for the holster to start wrapping her forearms.

No need to worry. She will drop by the Infirmary once she's been dismissed, to get proper care. They're... very used to her there.
