Aaron's expression goes stony and determined, but he seems happy as he turns and leaves. Jack might see him still favouring the left leg, but trying to hide it.

When she faced Jack, she had the same posture as before: a very practiced mimic of parade rest.

He looks up, notices Piper's stance, and smiles slightly. "You don't have to be so formal with me. What can I do for you?" Back to Top   Sarah White Mentor Defense When Autumn Came...

"Habit, sir," she explains, and while she tries to relax, its obviously not an easy task. "I had a question for you. I mean no offense by this, but as Director, I'm sure you've had your fair share of time on the field, yes?" After a moment, she blinked and added a quiet "sir." Old habits are hard to break.

Jack nods. "I've been on the field up until... oh, three years ago, maybe? So probably half my life, give or take." He's really bad at timelines.

Jack taps the desk in thought. "There have been times I've been unable to see who in fighting, either because they're too fast or turn invisible, but I haven't exactly lost my eyesight completely, yet." « Last Edit: Nov 16, 2015 11:51:16 GMT -6 by Jack Makaila » Back to Top   Sarah White Mentor Defense When Autumn Came...

"I need to learn to fight blind. I need to compensate for my weaknesses, and I depend too much on my eyes." She meshed her jaw together, teeth grinding ever so slightly. "And I need to learn to throw weapons. And a weapon that isn't my fist." At this point, she was rambling. Her hands had balled into fists behind her back and her eyes cleared with determination. "I was doing some research. Maybe a bat or a bow staff," she said, mispronunciating the word. "Something to extend my reach, and something I can hit somebody with and not break my own bones." Finally, she seemed to realize what she was doing. She shut her mouth with an audible snap of her teeth, and then quietly added, "Sir."

Most of it will probably save you from being hurt unnecessarily or even killed." Jack agrees, though he doesn't elaborate further. Instead, he changes the subject slightly.

"Ive been training. With Mathew Amtrum and Aaron Silverman. I know I am witty. I know my reflexes are better than most. I know most people can't hit me unless I let them, but..." She trailed off for a moment. "But Mathew Amtrum told me to list my weaknesses. Now. I want to make sure that I can better those. Maybe even turn them into strengths. I need to learn not to rush into things all of the time... And what to do when things go wrong."

She said with a little chuckle. "I want to find a weapon, and I want to learn to master that weapon. I want to learn to throw things, like thin blades. I want to work with my other senses." She paused for a moment, tilting her chin upwards slightly. "And I want to learn to be less predictable."

Anything with a blade, I can probably give you some pointers on, too." Jack smiles. After all, he's been called Jack of Blades in his youth. "Your power is...super speed, right?"

"But I don't have the endurance to go with it. Punch something at sixty miles an hour, and I'll probably break a few bones." Despite herself, she gingerly rubbed her arm. Her bones were healed, but the memory still plagued her. "Thus. The weapon."

Jack leans back, frowning thoughtfully. "What did you want to work on first? It'll likely be best to focus on one thing at a time." Back to Top   Sarah White Mentor Defense When Autumn Came...
