Training Montage
Day 7, Month 7
The Practice Grounds
Bax is there first, running over an obstacle course he’s set up, and Hark’ul shows up to run some laps. They engage in a brief spar until Hark’ul starts to lose control over himself and backs off; they discuss it a little and Bax says they ought to push themselves more, to stress-test, and Hark agrees after thinking it over a little more.
Sav shows up then, astonished at the presence of other people already there. They realized they were starting to get soft, after over a month staying in one place and not running for their life, so needed to figure out a way to not lose their edge. Bax starts running both of them through the obstacle course he built, until Sav suggests doing it live, e.g. (much like she did with Hark) scrambling over real buildings and walls. Bax doesn’t like the idea of bothering other people, but Sav is unconcerned and they end up doing it anyway.
Once they come to a pause, Hark’ul and Bax both agree it was kind of fun and maybe the practical course could be included as part of the training regime. The three make plans to show up most days to do this together.
