((*laughs* And so we see firsthand why Teig shouldn't write when tired. She forgets to consider very important details. XD We'll pretend I left a sentence out where she dropped the blade before grabbing Lyka's arm. wink ))
Delila panted tiredly, head tilted back even after the gauntlet had been removed. She wasn't sure whether to be proud or ashamed of herself, honestly, as she had no other fight to compare to. She would have loved to do better than that, but Lyka was a formidable warrior. She was probably lucky to have lasted as long as she did against her.
Lyka's words went a long way to lift her spirits, however, and she smiled slightly as she took the offered hand and bounded nimbly to her feet. "Thank you. For both the sparring match and for the kind words. I know I still have a long way to go in my training, but this exercise today has helped me pinpoint some of the weaknesses I need to work on improving." Although she was tired, it was a good sort of exhaustion, one that only comes from pushing one's limits and challenging herself to do better than her best.

"You did well. Perhaps we can spar again sometime."
Lyka picked up the blade that Delila had dropped during the battle and handed it back to her, acompanied with a rare affectionate nudge of her cheek to the teen's shoulder.
"You seem to like these Delila. Work on manuvering them, and close-range combat, but it looks as if you've had enough practice for one day. Go get something to eat."
((and wow that was a short post. Anyhow, RP concluded. Delila's freed up now. ^^))

((*chuckles* Cool. wink *does a wrap-up post*))
Flashing a rare smile, Delila nodded. "Thank you. I think I would enjoy that, Lyka." She accepted the blade, nearly blushing with pride, though she did purr softly at Lyka's praise and surprising show of affection. She turned away, stopping briefly at the weapons rack to find a strange-looking, unique double carrying sleeve for the knives. Quickly strapping it on and sheathing the knives, she bowed again in respect to her sparring partner before going off in search of dinner for tonight. She'd worked up quite an appetite with her energetic training exercises. Spirits have mercy on any prey that crossed her path this evening.

((NEW RP))
The black and red teen was a whirl of claws and fangs, tearing relentlessly into the practice target, a defenseless wooden stump. Wood chips and splinters flew through the air, pinging harmlessly off of nearby weapons and racks, as well as Delila's ear. Growling softly, she drew her blades from their sheathes in one swift, smooth motion -- just like she'd practiced -- tearing into the practice dummy with renewed vigor.
The nightmares still haunted her at night. Each and every night without fail. Some nights were worse than others...meaning some nights were at least tolerable. The worst were the nights she woke up screaming. She could only pray in shame that no one heard her on those nights. She'd never live down the horrible embarrassment.
Her only consolation and release took the form of her resumed training sessions. She threw herself into her training regimen more than ever now. If she didn't, she feared that she might give in to her nightly horrors...
The thought was too much to bear...or even consider. So she took the more encouraging option and pushed herself harder and harder in her daily sessions. Some days she nearly dropped from exhaustion before she'd let herself stop, but if that was what it took...
Delila never noticed the figure watching her from a distance. Theta's cold, analytical stare followed the teen's every move, taking note of each weakness...and each strength. So this is what the Shadow Huntress had been doing with her time each day. How...interesting.
((Hope it's okay I posted briefly with Theta there. I know Byagane is busy right now and didn't want to pester her for RP. If she wants to take over at any point for Theta, that's fine with me.))
