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.

PA PA CHROOOOOM |D
Right!
[It's taking a lot of Selphie's strength just to defend against the strikes from Chrom but she does end up taking more than a few whaps from the flat of his blade that are going to leave some lovely bruises. She heaves in deep gulps of air and somehow manages to trip over her own feet in the process.
She lets out a startled noise as she lets her sabre fall from her hands as she stumbles and lands on the floor with a sound thud. She laughs sheepishly and waves her hands in front of her in surrender.]
Looks like I need to work on footwork still...
no subject
But you've improved a great deal since our first lesson. That is something you can be proud about.
[He tips down to pick up her sword and hand it to her.]
Do you have any injuries?
no subject
Probably gonna have some bruises that aren't really worth wasting healing magic on.
Unless... we're gonna have a round two?
[Yes Chrom, that is a challenging look you're getting from your student.]
no subject
[He glances at the clock, then nods.]
We have some time left before we switch. Very well.
[He only waits long enough for her to take up her weapon before he rushes in. Better make every second count!]
no subject
Bring it!
[She brings her sword and shield up to block the blow again but moves quicker and more aggressively in forcing an opening.]
