Her arms were sore from the work out, her legs were shaking, and there were fresh bruises laid over purpled marks, decorating the skin not covered by her tank tops and shorts. She was aching, quivering, but there was a smile on her face.

She had finally gotten to a point where she could spin the wooden staff and keep it balanced.

To prove a point to herself, she spun it around her side and then around her waist, catching it and killing the spin with a yell of success. Her eyes were bright with excitement. She knew it wouldnt be the same with the sectional staff, but she had a head start.

Finally, her books came in handy!

"Spinning, huh? That's a good trick."

Once again Murdoch found himself in Tutorial and once again, there was someone else already here. HE socialized here more than anywhere else in the Academy, and he was starting to wonder if that was a problem.

She yelped in surprise at the sound of another voice in the training room. She turned, body seeming to whip wildly around, far too fast for him to see. She knew she couldn't protect herself well, but she still brought the Bo staff down aggressively, as if she knew what she was doing.

"I, uh..." she said, furrowing her brows. Then, she straightened, trying to relax. "Yeah. Pretty fun. Not as easy as it looks, though," she murmured, tilting her head as she tried to figure out who, exactly, this guy was.

"Whoa!" The speed threw him off, but that must have been her power!

"Have we met yet? I assume you're an agent here, yeah?"

She stared at him a moment longer before nodding. "Yeah. I've only been here a few weeks, though."

She moved towards him, holding out a hand. "Piper," she said, trying to smile. "Piper White."

He'd take her hand and and give it a shake.

"Murdoch Ó Caiside. Nice to meet you."

He takes a step back and starts stretching his arms!

"Training, huh? Always good to see other agents putting in the work to get better."

Her shake was firm but brief as she recoiled, stepping away from him. It wasn't that she disliked him, but she did dislike being touched.

"I haven't had much combat experience until now. It's not something I am willing to accept." She smirked, then turned, starting to spin the staff once more.

Murdoch offers a confused look at the recoil, but shrugs it off.

"That's a good outlook. I've been in a couple situations where I felt I could have done better."

"Are you... any good... at fighting, then?"

She asked, turning the staff and continuing the spinning. She still needed to focus, but at least she was managing.

"I'm alright, I guess. Been practicing a lot more and my power helps me learn faster, so I'd say so."

"What's your power?" She asked curiously. She fully expected him not to answer, but she wouldn't push, continuing to go through different moves with the staff.

"I remember everything. Pretty vividly."

He was fairly open about his power, and all other aspects of his life, never one to shy away from socializing.

"Basically, but it also pertains to muscle memory in the sense that I can reproduce any action I perform. So for example, I've been boxing, and my form is perfected fairly quickly."

"That's impressive," she said, turning to face Murdoch with an obvious smile. "Boxing, hmm? That's what Aaron is teaching me."

"Silverman? Very cool. I love it, and want to learn a lot about it. Right now I'm kind of training jack of all trades, but I figure I'll focus on some key aspects of combat and intelligence."

"It must be really useful," she said, moving to stretch, hand still on her bo.

"Useful and a burden." He points out.

"Hard to forget things when you want to."

"Like what?" There was no heat to her tone, just honest curiosity. "What could you possibly want to forget?"

"Some really messed up stuff, like burnt corpses. The look, the smell. It's pretty gnarly." He shudders.

Corpses. She knew the smell of Corpses fairly well, but that wasn't information she would offer up readily. Instead, she turned towards Murdoch, entering into a formal fighting stance and motioning for him to join her.

If he would, she'd run through some of her basic boxing steps she had learned, but no punch would have enough force to hurt him. It looked like she just wanted a friendly, maybe even playful, spar.

"That helps change you," she offered, either while moving with him or while throwing a few basic punches on her own. Whatever he would accept. "Change is usually good. Everything is a lesson."

There she goes, again. Quoting Him.

"That's pretty wise. I'm not sure if this is the change I want, but I've definitely felt more determined lately, which is nice."

He nods to her, with a smile.

"You have experience in this sort of thing?"

"Determination is definitely good," she confirmed with a nod. The green haired girl seemed to be moving faster than a normal person, but it definitely wasn't as fast as she COULD move.

"I have experiences in a lot of things," she murmured, kind of quietly, but eventually nodded. "I have pretty good memory, but more for the mundane. And I know the exact smell you're talking about."

"I've only been on one mission so far," she said as she tossed a few more punches. "And nobody died. Which was kind of the point of the mission."

In that way, it was a success. At least.
