Tranquil as a Forest, But on Fire! ...Just on fire.
WHO: Chrom, his new band of 'Shepherds', OPEN
WHAT: Now that there's a new team working together for the sake of the greater good, their first task is tobeat the shit out of each other gather and spar, to better learn the skills, strengths, and weaknesses of their future allies on the battlefield. There may be shenanigans, there may not. But there will definitely be friendships of at least C-Rank by the end of this session.
WHEN: October 18th, 8 a.m.
WHERE: Training Hall
NOTES: Feel free to tag as many (or as few) sparring partners as you like. Chrom will be watching to take note of which people work best together for future reference. If you want him to come by and give feedback after a session, feel free to say so at the end of the spar!
The largest room of the training center had been specially reserved for Chrom and his assembled team. Kulevi was hovering just outside the front doors to direct Heroes to the proper location, advising them to stop by the armory if they needed to pick up any equipment for the training session. There weren't any refreshments, not yet, but Kulevi hinted that there might be sandwiches and punch once they concluded their sparring with one another.
Once everyone had arrived, Chrom greeted them with a smile. "I'm glad so many of you were able to attend. Given the warning we received a few days ago, I plan to have us conclude well before the appointed time if you wish to act upon that anonymous tip. In the meantime, let us begin." He produced a small tin can that rattled in his hand. "Inside are pairs of marbles with matching colors. Draw a marble, and find the person whose marble matches yours. This will be your first sparring partner. After ten minutes, the bell will ring and you will switch to someone new. Please take some time to introduce yourselves, and decide if you wish to spar with real weapons and spells, or if you would rather make use of the blunted and wooden practice weapons.
"We'll take a fifteen-minute break after three rounds. It is my hope that, by the end of our training regimen, we will all have a better understanding and appreciation of one another." He walked down the line, holding out the can to allow each person to draw a marble. When everyone had drawn, Chrom himself took the last one. He was not exempt from this exercise either.

[IT IS A PROTECTIVE DEVICE AND IT LOOKS COOL. I mean.]
No offense, your highness, but iff'n you're givin' me advice what to do... Just tells me you already have a way to deflect it.
[Which means he's not going to go in for a head-bonk just yet, and instead ducks, then heads back up, intending to hold his spear in both hands and thrust it at Chrom's neck. Hope you don't choke!]
no subject
*shot stabbed exploded*]True, the element of surprise is necessary.
[He's still grinning, obviously enjoying himself as they clash weapons. The spear thrust, however, is something he can't easily parry, and he's forced to tilt himself to the side as he jerks up his shield to block. Shields are something else he's had to get used to holding, but he seems to be managing just fine.]
And perhaps I should remain silent instead of offering advice in the middle of a fight, ha!
[He pushes at the spear with his shield to throw it off before following with a horizontal slash from his blade.]
no subject
I'm just tryin' to learn from the best!
[He holds up his spear to block the blow - but a spear can only take so much before it snaps!]
... Uh-oh.
no subject
...Perhaps we got a little carried away. Stay but a moment, I'll fetch you another from storage.
[Unless Donnel feels like carrying on the spar severely impaired, but in Ylisse, they fight with their fists if their weapons break without anything handy to replace them. Unless there are any objections, Chrom lays down his shield and sheathes his sword before jogging off to go get Donnel a new spear.]
no subject
[He suddenly calls out, not having dropped his 'two' weapons.]
One day, this is gunna happen to me in battle, and the other fella ain't gunna be polite about it. I have to... I need to learn how to survive if that happens! Please don't stop now!
no subject
Very well.
[He returns and picks up the shield, slipping it back onto his forearm once more.]
What jobs do you have equipped? Sometimes one of your skills can substitute in an emergency if you should lose your weapon. And you may not have the reach you once did, but a spear can still be dangerous as long as you can keep hold of the end with the blade.
no subject
[Drago perks up, upon hearing that.]
It's still a might off adjustment, but I'll do my best. I don't know what to expected anymore, especially in a place like this.
no subject
[He turns at the sight of Drago's sudden interest and grins.]
Your chocobo can assist you as well. They're very loyal companions, and capable of inflicting plenty of damage on their own...enough for you to regain your feet, mount, and retreat if necessary.
[Chrom doesn't raise his weapon just yet, however.]
If you wish to practice, we may.
no subject
I think I'm ready for Round Two, sir, if you are! Let me give this one more shot!
