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.

[Lailah clapped her hands together.]
Please, hold out your hands, Chrom.
no subject
[He does so, palms down, looking at her inquisitively to make sure he's doing this right. Should his palms be turned upward instead?]
And then?
no subject
That's it.
no subject
[Chrom examines the mark. That's two brands he wears now. Still, it's fairly inconspicuous, and he doesn't really feel all that different. He works his fingers open and closed a few times, but there's no stiffness or pain.]
That was surprisingly simple. There's nothing else?
no subject
[Oh, wait.]
You might come down with a fever for a few days while your body grows accustom to my power.
[and it should be starting... right... about...]
no subject
[It hits him pretty hard, and he rocks a little, blinking hard once. Twice. He puts his hand to his forehead, suppressing a small grimace.]
I...see what you mean.
[Good thing this happened after practice, he's not suitable for sparring at this point.]
no subject
[Lailah tilted her head as her tongue slipped out.]
Well, thank goodness I took on that Blacksmith job so I developed upper body strength...
[And so Lailah explained the situation to people in the vicinity, hauled Chrom out of the dojo on her shoulders with little effort, and nursed him back to health... including sponge-baths.]
