1x1 Silent Symphony & Of the Falls

[Veins Of Opal]

Vicente blinked as her request, but he took a minute to think on it. After a bit, he gave a sigh and nodded. "I can teach you the basics. If Lucien comes back, you'll be able to prove you're not weak." he said, quickly saying the "if" part, because he didn't really want to make Sigma worry about Lucien, after he saw the little scene in the kitchen.

[Falls]

Sigma frowned. "If?" she asked, echoing Vicente. Despite his attempt to make the word sound a little less potent, she'd caught it and held it nervously in her mind. She slid her gaze over to the kitchen doorway, half hoping Lucien would step through it. "He didn't say goodbye before he left..." she said, her voice soft and disappointed.

[Veins Of Opal]

"H-he didn't want to bother you." Vicente said quickly. "He told me to tell you goodbye for him. And don't worry, he's one of the best assassins in the Brotherhood. It's highly unlikely that he'll fail." Vicente reassured her, a frown on his face as she worriedly glanced at the doorway.

[Falls]

Sigma frowned, turning her gaze to her hands. "Idiot," she mumbled angrily. "He's such an idiot." She stood and opened the fridge, hardly looking at its contents before closing it again and absently running her fingers through her short dark hair. "When will you start teaching me?" she asked, looking back up to Vicente. She desperately needed to vent her stress. What better way to do so than with her fists?

[Veins Of Opal]

"Whenever you want me to." Vicente shrugged simply. "Lucien has a training room downstairs." he said, standing and drinking the rest of his water. He flicked his crimson eyes to Sigma, giving a nod. "I'll teach you hand to hand combat only."

[Falls]

Sigma ran her fingers through her hair again and nodded. "I want to start now." Her expression was almost desperate and her shoulders stiff with stress. She crossed her arms tightly against herself as way of making sure she stay well contained despite her anxiety. What worried her most was how worried Lucien's absence was making her. After all, this was pig-head Lucien she was thinking about; that one guy that she'd decided to loathe till kingdom come.

Vicente gave a nod. "Head down the stairs and take the first door on the right. That's the training room. I'll be there in a second." he said, and with that, he turned, walking into his room. Once in his room, he found his hand-wraps, wrapping the white cloth around his fist and wrists. He took off his amulet, laying it on the nightstand. He took off his shirt so nothing would happen to the cloth, for he had already had many shirts ruined in training. He took off his shoes, replacing them with foot wraps.

[Falls]

Sigma watched Vicente leave, walking out of the kitchen when he was out of sight. She did as she was told and took the stairs down to the lower floor, taking the first right into the training room. She was nervous and excited at the same time. Being able to hold her own in a fight would be useful now that she seemed to be fighting a lot more often.

Once Vicente was ready, he made his way down the stairs, making no noise at all as he walked across the stone and wooden floor. Opening the door, he carefully shut it behind him. He barely noticed the gritty sand of the training room floor on his bare feet. The cool air of the training room was familiar to his bare skin, his long hair tied back. He glanced to Sigma. "Are you ready?" he asked.

[Falls]

Sigma had to clench her jaw to keep from jumping at the sudden sound of Vicente's voice. "Yeah," she said with a nod, turning around and glancing down at his bare chest. Good gravy, will I EVER have an ab-free day with these guys? She made no comment about it but silently wished there was a shirt around to cover that distraction. "Where do we start?"
