Vigil and Rowan full text
The music from Len and Kail helped calm her down from that... incident from earlier, with that bastard, bastard bastard BASTARD of a man, but Rowan still had some pent up aggression to take out. She stalked over to the training hall, looking for a nice looking, large dummy to stab over and over.
Vigilance had left just half an hour or so before Rowan, but was soon found again at the training hall as well. A pair of short swords gleamed in his hands, flashing as he whirled and slashed and stabbed at the dummy in front of him. Bee sat off to the side, intently watching her master's movements as if she was studying them.
Rowan gave Vigil a quick wave of acknowledgement, before a dagger appeared in her hands and she practically pounced on an unsuspecting dummy, the sharp end making its way into the neck, underarm, eyes, stomach, etc. Anywhere that was most vulnerable on a person.
The Tiefling pauses just long enough to raise one sword in greeting as well, before lunging forward in a vicious swipe.
Rowan steps back, and a rapier is suddenly gripped in her palm, jutting forward over and over. The dummy is beginning to look less like a training item, and more a disheveled, ripped bit of cloth with stuffing coming out. She kept stabbing the tip of her rapier into the dummy, pulling the stuffing out as if pulling out... more visceral bits, each stab accompanied with a growl.
Vigil himself beats at his own dummy until he ultimately ends up slicing it's head off with an upward slash. He turns to watch as Bee immediately pounces on the stuffed head, tearing into it with claws and icy fangs.
Rowan gives Bee a menacing grin of agreement at the action. Now done with her slashes, she takes a step back. And another. And another. Soon, she's about 20ft away, and there's a crossbow in her hands. She aims it at the head, and shoots. Her dummy, just like Vigil's, is now missing it's head, as the arrow meets its mark and tears the remaining cloth off.
Vigilance: "Nice shot."
Vigilance moves over to Bee, carefully pulling her away from the dummy head before she clings the stuffing everywhere.
Vigilance: "I think I'd hate to be your enemy, even with my Bee's help."
Rowan: "Don't worry. This only happens to people who piss me off."
She slides her weapons back in their places on her person, wiping some sweat from her brow.
Rowan: "Sides, Bee seems even more bloodthirsty than me."
Vigilance: "Does she?"
He laughs lightly and shifts his grip on his short swords, assuming a defensive stance pointed at nothing in particular.
Vigilance: "She does love a good fight, in all honestly. Makes for a good balance between us, if you ask me."
Rowan eyes him.
Rowan: "Nah, I can't see you as the bloodthirsty type. You've got that goody-two-shoes look about you. That's not an insult, by the way. Shit like that is useful."
Vigilence: "Goody two shoes? Hah, that fits my brother more than me."
He takes a few swipes at the air in front of him.
Vigilance: "I just do what I have to."
Rowan: "Brother, hm?"
She takes out a dagger and twirls it around her fingers.
Vigilance: "Yep. Older."
Another slash and then he moves to block his imaginary foe's imaginary strike.
Rowan: "Got any other family?"
She watches him strike, leaning casually against the wall while twirling her blade.
Vigilance: "Just my mother and brother, now."
He whirls, slashing at the air with both blades.
Vigilance: "You? What's your family like?"
Rowan: "Dead."
She flipped her blade, catching it on it's tip.
Vigilance: "Oh. I..... Ah, I'm sorry."
He stops and sheaths his swords, stepping back and turning toward a dummy beside the one Rowan had decapitated. He pulls his longbow off his back and drops to one knee.
Vigilance: "Losing family isn't easy..."
Rowan: "Yeah. It isn't."
She flips the dagger and sheathes it in her coat, watching him aim his weapon.
Vigilance looses the arrow in a quick, smooth motion, and it sticks in the dummy's chest.
Rowan: "Nice."
Vigilance stands again.
Viglance: "Thanks."
Rowan sighs.
Rowan: "I think Imma head to my room. No offense, but some time to myself sounds kinda nice about now."
Vigilance: "Oh, I see...."
He looks over at Bee as the Drake skitters up the side of the dummy he'd shot.
Vigilance: "If you're ever up for a good spar, you'll most likely find me around here."
Rowan gives him a salute.
Rowan: "Will keep that in mind. It was nice talkin' to ya. And seeing the lil demon baby again."
She points a finger at Bee.
Vigilance laughs.
Vigilance: "You hear that, Bee? You're a demon now, not a drake!"
Bee just grabs the arrow stuck in the dummy and wrestles with it until she falls off entirely.
Rowan laughs.
Rowan: "Yep, looks like a demon to me."
She starts walking out of the training hall.
Rowan: "See ya around."
