Redsand Canyon double cuppin' in the ride

Aquene was almost visibly taken aback by his smile… almost. She hadn’t been aware that he was capable of smiling, for she had never seen it before, in the month and a half that she had been there. Slowly, she let a proud grin onto her features, falling into place behind him as she followed him to the sparring ring, listening intently to directions. “Understood.” She voiced as they settled into their places, her eyes narrowing as hints of humor lit her features. She could only hope to beat a master tactician at his own game, but it certainly would not stop her from trying.

Speed would be on her side like it had not been with Kallik, at least she presumed from the last spar she’d had with the man. She feinted left, diving right at the last  possible second she could have, similar as she had done with the auxiliary, teeth aiming for the meaty part of his shoulder near his neck, aiming to also try and slam her body into his to throw him off balance, hoping such a tactic might work.
