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.

[His answering grin is grateful nonetheless as he takes the moment offered to recompose himself.]
We just ended a long and difficult war with the country to the south, in my own world. I was to become the next Exalt...after the death of my beloved sister. I had imagined that she would continue to rule for many more decades, so as you can imagine...the title does not yet sit well with me.

[Flynn nods, shaking his shoulders to loosen up a little.]
The fact that you chose to face it head-on rather than running away from it - that deserves some commendation, I would think. It's fine to have reservations, but it's what you do in spite of the discomfort that defines your character.

Thank you. It's a duty I don't intend to neglect.
[He just wants to make sure he can actually do it well. That's what worries him. He hoists his sword once more and smiles.]
But we came to improve our combat skills, did we not? Shall we go again?

[Chrom salutes with his blade raised, which he then drops with a swift swiping gesture.]
Our time is nearly up in any case. I look forward to fighting beside one of your skill, Flynn.
don't give me the shoujo sparkles icon
[Of course, that was being optimistic.]
