A Little Practice
The training room at the Defender's compound had been designed to withstand all that the inhabitants could dish out. Today Svalin was inside and pushing the room and the program to its limit. The enemies she faced were just holograms, but force fields gave them the ability to hit and be hit. It also allowed the creation of unlimited enemies at unlimited power levels.

Sweat ran down Svalin's face and soaked her clothes. Her arms felt heavy and Vigfrior seemed to weigh more as time passed. She didn't know how many enemies she had face or how long she had been in the room, but she didn't feel like she was ready to stop just yet.

A troll charged at her and she ducked beneath the swing of his club and jabbed at the back of his kneed with the end of staff-Vigfrior. The troll stumbled and Vigfrior shifted into a war hammer and Svalin brought it down on the back of the troll's head. The troll went down and Svalin spun on a heel and swung the hammer at the troll that had been coming up behind her. It connected with the thing's stomach and it doubled over. Svalin spun the hammer around and brought it up in an upswing connecting with the troll's chin. The thing was lifted off its feet and went sailing through the air.

With the brief pause Svalin glanced over at the control room. Solver's carrier sat on a shelf next to the control panel and he was fast asleep sitting inside of it. Svalin smiled and turned back to a new batch of enemies.

	"God save me from the classics," Rory muttered, barely avoiding a blow. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

There may have been the briefest of small smiles on Svalin's face. She didn't particularly care for the same movies as her wife, but she kept quiet and watched them anyway. Marriage was about compromise after all.

Svalin finished off her orc and paused. The others were facing one orc each and it was the last of them. Svalin watched to make sure none of the others were in trouble.

	The boys seem doing fine, but "Orcs are surprisingly electric-resistant," Vernique says, still trying to bring hers down, with a frown. "Must have underdeveloped nervous systems or something." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"They art a most hardy foe," Svalin said as she charged the orc her wife was facing. She hit the thing over the head with the quarter staff. The orc stumbled and went down to a knee. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"They're like radio shows that happen to have pictures; all conversation." Rory followed that up with a very, very efficient slice to the neck of the orc in front of Svalin, almost seamless from his follow-through on his own orc. "Sorry to intrude." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thou'rt welcome," Svalin said. She looked at Rory. Her interest was piqued by the move and his skill with a sword. "Where didst thou learn the sword?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Nolan just rolled his eyes. "Vernique, shall we leave these two alone to hack at each other with swords and perhaps go watch a /real/ movie?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"No harm, but mine wife doth think I need to 'get out' more." Svalin shook her head and chased thoughts of wifely meddling away. "If thou wishes, we canst spar." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
