Snippet #2540433

Locien had just finished the Dummy and was pacing back and forth before getting in a ready stance before drawing his sword and aligning it with the stance, gripping the blade with both hands taking several deep breaths before slicing at the dummy a few times without hitting it to warm up, fighting with the sword was a serious matter to him. He respected the way of the blade, and it's craftsmanship if given the right materials. There is also time and effort to making the blade as well.

He then finished up his warm up by taking a deep breath before slicing at the dummy for real, the steel biting through the makeshift dummy easily. He took a deep breath before sheathing it and heard someone approach with their blade in hand. He was about to grip his sword again but the corner of his eye spotted Thalia. He sighed of slight relief. "You have your blade out. Did something Waylay you on the way back?"
