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.

Xena watched with fascination as the girl pulled the water from a container recently appeared and seemed to heal herself with it. She couldn't figure out what else she would have been doing with the water, especially since it went to the places that had been struck by the staff. She nodded and then turned her attention back to Katara's face as she began to speak.

She crossed her arms over her chest as she spoke of her friend and how she wanted to learn to use a sword. Xena's brow rose when Katara mentioned the girl was blind. She wasn't sure she could teach a girl who couldn't see a sword coming at her how to defend herself, much less attack. How did one explain it to someone who couldn't see? Still, it could be challenge, and Xena was a sucker for a challenge.

"Yeah, I think we could work something out. Why don't we train together in the next couple of days? I'll bring Gabrielle along." She agreed that it would be a good experience. Gabrielle needed to get out. She seemed to be clinging a lot lately, and Xena needed her space. She loved Gabrielle's company, more than anyone else's, but even Xena needed to breathe.

"So, I'll come find you and Toph in the next couple of days for a session. Alright? You did well today, keep it up and you'll be a natural before long." Xena nodded to her and then stepped out of the training room.
