Tori

Tori nodded. "Sure, if you want to. It'll help you with your conjuring skills, and I can alway use help with target practice. Why don't we try that first, and we can do something else later if we have time?" The blue haired boy walked over to the wall, pulling down a silver bow and a quiver full of arrows. He pulled off his navy blue cloak and hung it on a hook on the wall. Underneath the thick fabric, he had been wearing a jeans and a blue t-shirt, showing off his heavily scarred arms. "I'm ready whenever you are!" He chirped, testing out the string on the bow.

Ivan nodded with a smile to brighten the room. "Just don't hurt my Cerberus!" he chuckled and closed his eyes, placing his hands close to gather, thinking of what he was going to make. Shadows drifted to the center of his open hands, then soon a burst of darkness exploded in front of him, a dog appeared with out a rear or lower end. As it began to walk closer to Tori, it's lower end began to slowly fade in and the dog began to gain color as the dog began to become real. Ivan gasped and smirked as he looked at Tori, almost leaning on the wall, but missing it by a foot. He laughed and stood back up, realizing how clumsy that looked. "Hike!" Ivan called and watched the guard dog race towards Tori, growling and evilly snarling.

Tori

"Don't worry, I have good aim. I won't hurt your pet." Tori promised. He waited until the dog was practically on top of his before jumping back, landing a couple of feet in the air. He took a couple steps higher, seemingly standing on the air four or five feet above the ground. He quickly took aim, hitting the guard dog in the back of the neck. "You ok, Ivan?" He called, concerned by his friend's fall. "Did you hurt yourself?"

Ivan shook his head and looked at Tori with a smirk. "No!" he called over to him, impressed by Tori's sudden actions. He bit his lip and pressed his hand to gather as he watched the shadows return. "I think I know how to now!" he called to Tori and put his hands back to gather and made a monkey. "Ready?" he asked, planning for the monkey to attack him this time.

Tori

Tori lowered his bow, nodding. "Yeah, I'm ready whenever you are!" He called cheerfully, dropping lightly to the floor, whatever he was standing on gone. "You're getting pretty good at the this, aren't you? Are you going to try something other than a dog this time?"

He nodded and yelled "Hike!" watching the monkey pounce all over the place, running after Tori. "It's a cuddly monkey!" he yelled laughing a little. [Wrighters Block]

[The March Hare]

{No problem.}

Tori

"I see." Tori murmured, nocking another arrow and narrowing his eyes. "Unfortunately, I'm not really a fan of monkeys." He let the arrow go, hitting the shadow beast dead on. "Is that all you've got?" He teased, lowering his bow. "Come on, I've been shooting for years. Give me a challenge."

Tori

"Oh, sure. Just this way." Tori murmured, letting go of Ivan and starting back down the hall. He understood the sudden change of subject quite well. Everyone had painful memories that they wouldn't talk about, including Tori himself. It was pretty common, and Tori knew it would only be painful for Ivan to talk about. "We can practice in here." He chirped, pushing open another door. Inside was a large, empty room made specially for combat practice. Weapons of every kind lined the walls, all with razor sharps blades and gleaming silver handles.

{I don't know. Uh, maybe they could escape and meet October and Jirachi?}

((That's actually a good idea.))

He smirked and brought his hands to gather, creating a giant rhino. He smirked and yelled "Hike!" watching it angerly parade toward him.

Tori

"Never met one of these before." Tori murmured, jumping out of the beast's way, only narrowly missing being impaled by the thing's horn. "Aren't they endangered or something? It feels almost wrong to kill one." He jumped back up into the air, hovering a full foot over the rhino. "Well, I guess it's him or me." The boy paused, taking aim. His arrow found a nick in the thing's think hide, plunging deep into the creature's neck.
