Random Scenario Meme - Svalin and Vincent - 3 - Ghost
It was late and Svalin decided to take a walk around the grounds of the Defenders Compound. Everyone else was either asleep or out and Svalin wanted to make sure everything was fine. She took her job of protecting her wife, son and family members very seriously.

She kept walking, watching and listening for anything out of the ordinary.

	"I admire your confidence." He laughs slightly. "I've felt significantly less invincible the past few years than I once did.

	"The feedback from the ghost I exorcised should expire at sunrise. Spirits don't do as well during the day, so that should do away with the last vestiges of it."

Vincent floats over the fight for a bit, thinking. After a few minutes, he concentrates, and is able to conjure the illusion of his staff from his form. It's obviously different combat from Svalin and her sword, but he tries to learn from her footwork. He's been growing increasingly fond of the battle intuition he can invoke from Tyr, so he sees little reason not to cultivate his skills in addition to that.

He keeps to the fringes of the training room, since it doesn't seem to register his presence, as he goes through some combat drills.

	Svalin moved methodically from troll to troll. Some she carved up with her sword, some she hacked up with an axe and others she pounded into pulps with her hammer and she kept going until there were no more. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Vincent floats over to her, his form much more vivid. "Thank you for the exhibition, Lady Svalin. I think I was able to learn a few new combat maneuvers." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Thou'rt welcome," she said despite not doing the session for his benefit. "I must show. I doth not appreciate thine company when showering." (Reply to this)(Parent)
