The clock chimed powerfully as Felicity's eyes widened. Training! Yes, Gwenael offered to bring her here to train her skills farther. Indeed, the reason for being here was fresh in her mind. Even then, at the back of her mind, she knew Gwenael was trying to change the topic. Yet, they were still casual and barely knew each other. Why would a Thayne open up to her on the matters of gods? Felicity decided to dismiss her concerns for now, smiling back as she clenched her fists and nodded.

Gwenael's features grew softer, his skin and hues, as his wings dissipated into the air. Felicity looked down to see that his talons became feet. Looking up again, she saw him entering an unarmed fighting stance. "Come, show me what you know so far."

Felicity smirked, "I thought the Thayne saw all? Don't you know what I'm capable of?"

Gwenael playfully rolled his eyes, "There's a difference between knowledge and experience, Rhyolite."

Felicity entered a closed, defensive karate stance, eyeing the Thayne carefully as she locked on his looser stance.

"Remember, Trisgen taught me." Gwenael smirked, "And Hromagh taught Trisgen. I am hard to beat."

"Oh, I bet!" Felicity darted towards him, aiming for his chest with a sturdy punch. Yet, in the smooth speed of a master, Gwenael batted her arm aside and aimed a punch of his own. Felicity grasped that fist with the palm of her hand. Felicity was shocked, although not surprised, that despite his lithe form, Gwenael's strength was an equal to her own. Yet, as a Thayne, he likely had more strength he kept locked from her. With both hands grappled, they started kicking at each other. Felicity aimed for his thigh, but Gwenael held fast and used his own powerful leg to completely off balance Felicity. In an instant, she was on her bum, looking up at the smiling Thayne.

"You are too tight and constricted," Gwenael critiqued, "You have solid form and battle memory, but you lack fluid motion."

Felicity nodded, attempting to stand. She was surprised when Gwenael bent down, extending his hand to her. The youthful pleasure on his face let her know he was enjoying this already. Felicity could not help but feel content that she helped him feel better after all.
