"Oh come on, just five minutes." Delilah whined from her position lying on the floor. Her and Ethan had been practicing for the last few hours without a break and she was exhausted. Why she ever agreed to train with someone more stubborn that she was, she would never know. All she wanted to do right now was nap. Or possibly eat something fried. Which apparently she wasn't allowed to do anymore because they were training.

She refused to admit she was out of shape after the virus and being hurt. But yet she was still staring at the ceiling trying to convince Ethan Jordan that a break was necessary. Ethan Jordan who hadn't dueled in ages had her winded again and now she remembered why she once hated him. They were rivals once for a reason.

She use to have no problem practicing hours on end, but now her ankle was starting to twinge, not that she would ever admit that either. It was hard enough asking for a break. "Five minutes, and then I'll stop taking it easy on you."
