Stress relief

[Denzel Kumori]

Denzel stepped into the arena training room, she lowered her head to avoid peoples glares. She wasnt really welcome anywhere currently, but she needed to become stronger and she needed to relieve some stress. Dante was on her mind constantly, and she wished that she could hear his voice one more time...and see his smile.

[Namari Lovelle]

Namari sat in the training room, watching people practice. She then spotted Denzel walking into the room. Namari grinned.

"Hey, Denzel!" Namari yelled out to her young friend, and waved.

[Denzel Kumori]

she smiled weakly and waved back. "hey namari! long time no see!"

[Namari Lovelle]

Namari grinned and walked over to her. Standing infront of Denzel, she frowned when she saw the look on her face.

"Is...something the matter?" she questioned.

[Denzel Kumori]

"N-no!" nothing wrong" she replied. " i just came for maybe a bit of weapon practise....its been a long time since ive used my own weapons. but....." denzel looked at the people who didnt know what to exactly think of her at the moment.

[Namari Lovelle]

"...are you sure?" Namari asked, worried. She did not believe the girl in the slightest.

[Denzel Kumori]

"yeah. " she smiled to hide her sadness and everything else she felt at the moment. "im just a bit stressed." she tried to hide behind a new mask.

[Namari Lovelle]

"...alright, I suppose." Namari sighed. "Well, since you want to practice, do you want me to help you?" she asked, still frowning. Why Denzel was trying to hide it, she did not know. All Namari knew, was that she was good at it.

[Denzel Kumori]

"That would be great! thanks namari." she smiled. She hasn't practise for awhile, and didn't exactly know what to do. but she was happy that namari was here to help her.

[Namari Lovelle]

"Alright, well what would you like to practice then?" She asked, grinning at the girl.

[Denzel Kumori]

"my swordsmanship." she smiled back.

[Namari Lovelle]

"Hmm...well, go practice on that dummy over there and I'll say anything I find wrong" Namari pointed to a wooden dummy in the corner, proped up on a stand.

[Denzel Kumori]

She nodded and did as she was told. Unsheathing her sword, denzel hacked away at the dummy. Her stance wasnt right, the way she was holding it wasnt right, the way she was even swinging it wasnt right.

Denzel dropped the sword to rest her hands from the pain of the vibrations... plus she was already exhausted.

[Namari Lovelle]

Namari tapped her cheek, thinking. She finally walked over to the dummy, and picked up the sword.

"Well, first of all, you need to stand with your knees bent, feet apart. As if you need to stay balanced while someone is pushing you." Namari stood how she explained it.

"Next, hold the sword how you feel comfortable. In away that you wouldn't hurt yourself swinging it." Namari held the sword in a defensive position.

"Lastly, don't just swing your weapon and hope it hits. Hit it so that you hit hard, quickly and with the least amount of effort possible." she looked at the dummy, and quickly raised the sword, slashing it from it's shoulder to waist. It split in half, and Namari blushed. She had not meant to hit it that hard.

[Denzel Kumori]

Denzel stared in awe. "that was amazing! your really good!!"

[Namari Lovelle]

Namari blushed more, but smirked. "Thanks. Now, try again. But do it on this one," She pointed to the dummy next to the one she just cut in half.

[Denzel Kumori]

Denzel nodded, picking up the sword again. she did exactly what Namari did, but it would take practice before she would be any good. Namari managed to cut a training dummy in half, while denzel is too careful and tries tnot to damae it too much.

[Namari Lovelle]

"You're improving. But don't be afraid to destroy it. It was meant to be harmed." she frowned. "Act as if it were your most hated enemy, alright?"

[Denzel Kumori]

Denzel bit her lip, knowing whos face she would imagine. It was a neutral friendship really, but it WAS in her blood to consider a werewolf to be her most hated enemy. she attacked the dummy with a clean diagonal slice.

[Namari Lovelle]

Namari stared at the dummy, before smirking, "Thats it, kid! Do it like that and you'll improve in no time at all!"
