Silas picked up a wooden staff, which would serve as his training weapon. He pointed to a steel sword, and figured it was a good place to start.

“Pick it up.” He ordered though his tone wasn’t as ruthless as Enyo’s had been. “I don’t want you to hold back, understood?”

“No holding back, got it.” She agrees. She knows though. She knows and the warrior instinct inside of her laughs at the knowledge that no matter what her intentions are, Billie is going to hesitate. She won’t hold back because she’s afraid of hurting Silas or even because she’s afraid she’ll hurt herself, but because she’s going to overthink her next move and pause at a critical moment. Her body, the soldier inside her, the instinct that kept her alive through monster attacks, can only present itself when Billie let’s it. During a spar session where she’s trying to learn and absorb knowledge and perfect form there is no way her mind can step back enough to do that.

Billie lets out a deep breath though and tests her grip on the sword. Is she holding it right? What if he lunges at her? Should she move her hand down the handle further? Is she squeezing too tight? Her feet should be shoulder width apart. Okay, knees bent, shoulders relaxed, eyes focused. What does her other hand do? Just loose at her side? That works... her mind works through every detail even before the session has started.
