Day 10
Who: Xena & Katara
What: More Training
When: Late Morning
Where: Training Room
Rating: G-ish
Status: Complete

Xena had spent the last several days with Gabrielle. And they had been good. Very revealing. But, they hadn't done anything very strenuous, and she needed to work out again. It was late morning, and later than she would normally seek out some physical activity, but it was never too late in her opinion.

She locked the door and decided to go back to the training room she'd found before with all the weapons and dummies and cushioned floor mats. But then she remembered that she was supposed to be training Katara in the use of a bow staff. So, she looked up the girl's room number in the lobby and headed that way, backtracking a little but it didn't matter.

She was dressed in her usual leather armor and copper plating. Her sword was sheathed on her back and her chakram and whip were at her hips. She knocked on the door marked E104 and stood back to wait for her to answer. She didn't even know if she was in her room, but if she wanted to make sure the girl got some training in, this was the first place to look.

"Katara, it's Xena. Do you want to work with the staff some more today?" She called out against the door after she'd knocked.

Katara groaned softly as she heard the rapping at her door, then a familiar- though muffled- voice began to creep through. At first she thought she had been dreaming, tired as she was, but she soon realized it was real. Lids shot back from silver-blue eyes, and she lifted her body into a sitting position with a yawn.

What time had she gotten to sleep? Late it seemed. Once she’d finished with the new face the Planet had kidnapped, she’d gone straight to her room, had taken a quick bath, and had fallen asleep as soon as her head had hit her pillow. Naturally, she still felt the need for sleep; however, she also knew it was late morning, and she’d gone around with less sleep than this in the past. It was time to get up, and face the day.

She grabbed a robe and proceeded to quickly cover her person with it. This one was a vivid red, as her mint green robe was muddy and crumpled in a corner from the night before. Quickly, she moved to the door, pushed the hanging pelt out of her way, and opened it. Before her stood Xena, the warrior woman who had trained her in defensive moved with the staff a few days ago.

After quickly searching her mind for what the older woman had said through the door when she awoke, Katara said, “Yes. I would love to train today. I’m sorry to keep you waiting. I just woke up. I need to get ready, if that’s all right. You can come in and wait if you want.”

After gaining a response, Katara vacated the entryway and, grabbing her traditional Water Tribe attire, quickly moved to the washroom to ready herself. She had a shower hours earlier after she’d gotten out of the storm before bed, so there was no need for one now. She simply threw on her clothes, washed her face a bit, and pulled her hair back into a braid. All in all, it only took a couple of minutes. In the past, she’d had to develop a skill for readying herself quickly for the day, despite any lack of sleep.

Then she proceeded to move back through her room, looking as if she’d taken longer than a few minutes to dress. It wasn’t as if her tasks had been complicated, though. With a smile she went to train with Xena.

Xena stepped back when the door opened and a clearly disheveled Katara stood in the doorway. Xena couldn't help but smirk, wondering how she'd managed to sleep this late. But, she knew everyone had different sleeping patterns. Not everyone rose as early as she did.

"Alright." She stepped into the room and looked around. It was vastly different than her room, but it reminded her vaguely of an Amazon hut. She crossed her arms and waited for the girl to dress and ready herself for the training session ahead. She returned a small smile and a nod when the girl emerged from the washroom and headed for the door, obviously ready to go.

Xena stepped out of the room and into the hall, waiting for Katara to close the door and follow. She looked over her shoulder as she walked ahead. "Late night?" She asked casually. She'd looked like she needed more sleep when she first came to the door, but she looked relatively bright eyed now.

"Sorry it has taken so long to get back to training. I have been a little busy the last few days and haven't even been able to train myself." She smiled apologetically as they continued down the hall to the main building and then into the training room. She opened the door for Katara and turned the light on, walking in after her.
