"Good block!" Rashel called.
Mary-Lynnette looked up from her exertions, smiling smugly, then spun and kicked her opponent to the floor.
"Oww." Ash looked up from being sprawled across the floor. "Could you be more gentle when roundhouse kicking me?"
"Sorry sweetie, I keep forgetting I'm a vampire now."
"But that didn't stop you from putting your all into the move did it?" Ash complained.
"You snooze, you lose." Mary-Lynnette said simply.
"Being gentle gets you killed." Rashel explained grimly.
"Way to go, encouraging her to be violent. I think I preferred the shin-kicking…"
Nilsson opened the door cautiously. "Mr. Thierry wants to see you now."
Mary-Lynnette turned to face him. "Why?" She asked curiously.
"He wouldn't say why, miss."
"How many times to I have to ask you to call me Mare?"
"It wouldn't be proper miss."
"Aargh!"
"And it annoys you…"
Nilsson shut the door quickly to avoid the practice sword that landed in the door with a SPROING and continued to wobble in the door.
"Mare!" Ash exclaimed, shocked.
"Thierry can afford a new door." Mare announced before walking out.
"You've had a bad effect on her, Rashel."
"What can I say? I make an impression…"
Just a short one today as I am in a rush. Will right more some other time. Call this a teaser. What on earth does Thierry want them to do?
