Out for Some Air

[Namari Lovelle]

Although the woman had begun practicing fighting in the castle training grounds, Namari still enjoyed seeing her old friends in the arena. So she sat at the side of the arena, watching the new competitors, and old competitors, practice their fighting moves. Namari fiddled with her claymores hilt as she watched.

The woman had found it a hassle to leave her pets at home. They often wrecked the place. So Namari had brought them along to the arena. It was good for her two pets, also, because it would get them some fresh air. Peter, the fire gecko, lept around. He was still small, the runt of his family, and normally would sit on Namari's head. Benny the dragon on the other hand was fairly big now. He was the size of a child. Benny chased after Peter, and they threw fire at each other as they played. Namari chuckled as she watched.

The woman had also cut her hair short. It now only went halfway down her back, and was tied up in a pony-tail. She had realized that in a battle, her extremely long hair would probably not be a good thing. Not to mention it was easy for her pets to burn off or chew.

She yawned, stretching and closing her eyes. she rested her head against the wall, not minding falling asleep at that moment.

Roland walked into the arena with spear in hand. He had been training with his axe, but his first love was the spear and he wanted a full day just focused on it. He walked into the sparring zone and looked for possible opponents. He didn't mind if he fought or just worked on his stances and fundamentals.

After a few matches with random fighters, Roland walked over to take a breather and refresh himself with water. It was then he noticed a small dragon running around, he smiled, 'Namari must be around.' he began to look for her. He wanted to talk to her about Avaleur a little more. She seemed to be the one with the most knowledge in town, at least of those he knew.

[Namari Lovelle]

Namari blinked, spotting Roland. Smiling, she waved to him, "Hey, Roland!"

[Deleted]

Roland turned and saw Namari waving, she looked different. He noticed her shorter hair and different hair style as he approached her. "Hey Namari. I figured you would be at the castle training grounds."

[Namari Lovelle]

"Yeah, well it's nice to see some of my old friends at the arena every once in a while!" Namari chuckled. "So what are you doing here? I'm guessing you were practicing?"

[Deleted]

He smiled, "Still am. Just taking a break, don't want to over do it. Not yet anyways."

[Namari Lovelle]

Namari chuckled, "Makes sense. Don't want to over-tire yourself. So what have you been up to lately?"

[Deleted]

"Well basically you could call me the beast slayer of Avaleur. I have an uncanny ability to attract beast out in the wilderness." he chuckled. "Other than that I was thinking about being a teacher. I'm not sure if I'm old enough but I think I'm the most advanced military tactician around. And I know my cultures."

[Namari Lovelle]

Scratching the back of her head, she asked, "Well, how old are you? asically you have to be 18 and up, and prove to the other teachers to have accessive knowlege regarding the subject."

[Deleted]

"Oh we'll then maybe I could become a teacher! I'm 18, now all I have to do is prove myself to the others." he smiled he hoped he could be a teacher. "So did you come her to train or?"

[Namari Lovelle]

"Nope. Just to watch, really. Give my arms some rest for today," she chuckled.

[Deleted]

"Oh that's understandable." he looked towards the practice area, Benny and Peter were playing. "Wow he has gotten big."

[Namari Lovelle]

Namari nodded. "I think that's as big as Peter will grow, though. But Benny will probably get really big!" she smirked. "It'll be interesting when I can learn how to ride him, once he gets big enough."

[Deleted]

"I wonder how long it will take before he lets you. I mean maybe he will right away, but I don't really know much about dragon riding."

[Namari Lovelle]

"He probably will let me right away. I'm practically his mother," Namari smirked. "I mean, he hatched and the first thing he saw was me, right?"

[Deleted]

"Well that is true I had forgotten that part." he smiled, "It'll probably be real easy then, besides learning not to fall off and kill yourself from way up in the sky that is."

[Namari Lovelle]

Namari smirked, "Yeah, I should try not to do that. It'd be a bad idea."

[Deleted]

"I'm just messing with you, I'm sure you'll be a natural. Besides he would catch you if you fell." he reasurred her.

[Namari Lovelle]

"The little bugger better!" she chuckled, as Benny looked at her and tilted his head before playing with Peter again.

[Deleted]

Roland laughed as well. Something about hearing the word bugger from Namari was hilarious. "Can he even fly yet?"
