The Doctor and Beak were Watching this play out from the sidelines. "Be careful Boy wonder, she might break your jaw" the doctor said as he check if any of his teeth were broken.
After Apollo decided that he cleaned himself of blood to an adequate enough level. Which would have been far cleaner if it was not for the fact this was his only set of clothes, and the weather did not exactly allow one to take said clothes off or to cover them ub water, but given the environment he only got his clothes to the level of looking like he might have only killed one person recently instead of a couple dozen.
Eventually after sometime he had wandered around until he had found the training ground. He watched Cybil, and Robin out the corner of his eye(Very Conspicuously so) while he grabbed a practice sword, and practiced on a training dummy.

"I meant the training as a whole, not this basic stuff." Robin asked in between grunts of exertion as he repeated the practice swings.
[color=9f2089]"Pfff, no. I just learned from a regular class. I wouldn't bother wasting my time trying to teach someone something I know for a fact they are physically and mentally incapable of."[/color] Once Cybil observed Robin managing each one of the swings successfully, she instructed that he perform each one 100 consecutive times.
She noticed Apollo arriving and begin practicing, but did her best to ignore and not acknowledge his presence. She did a far better job of it than he did.

"I mvith be able to do it. I can already sense the area around me and the strengths of weaknesses of people. Prediction might be possible for me..." Robin said as he did the swings. Eventually he swung too hard, losing his balance and falling over. "Ow."
[color=9f2089]"That sounds more like Telepathy than Clairsentience. That's not my domain, and I never studied it, so I doubt I'd be much help in developing something like that."[/color] Cybil remarked back. She sighed and offered Robin a hand in getting back up. [color=9f2089]"And this is why we practice."[/color]

"There are more than I could list, and I'm not sure whether they would speak with you, for a wide range of reasons."
"There are more than I could list, and I'm not sure whether they would speak with you, for a wide range of reasons."
Robin took the hand gratefully and stood with Cybil's help, nodding to her sheepishly. "Thanks for not laughing..." He resumed swinging.
Robin was thankful for the small mercy, and would require correcting a few times but got it perfected eventually.
By the end of the training Robin was exhausted. Even levitating his coat back to him was difficult, the cloak dragging along the floor. "Can we break for now?" he asked between gasps.
[color=9f2089]"Alright, take 5."[/color] Cybil replied to Robin with a nod. She wandered off and found a source of water, coming back with some in whatever contain would be appropriate given the setting, handing it to Robin while keeping another and taking a drink herself.
Apollo, who had been practicing in the background for most of Robin's training, primarily sparring with the other people around the small camp they had. He was not nearly as good as he was with a sword as he was with the crossbow, nevertheless he was quite impressive in combat.
Apollo quickly wiped off the sweat off his brow, and gave a look of disappointment at Robin "Oh come on. This is just embarrassing. I've seen better out of the fresh meat at bootcamps... Heck I've seen better at gyms most of the time." Apollo threw his canteen over to Robin hoping that he'd catch it. "Don't chug it, or you'll be losing anything you drank pretty quickly."
After a moment of contemplation, Apollo gave a sudden slap on the back, and a hearty laugh to Robin. "How about on we start on cardio training tomorrow, Maggot!" He said adopting a gruffer, more militaristic tone along with a slightly sadistic grin

Cybil looked at Apollo with displeased, half-lidded eyes. [color=9f2089]"My memory must be failing on me, because I certainly don't recall either of us asking for your opinion. But since you're here, you might as well give us the advice you're most qualified to: "How to Most Efficiently Create Widows and Orphans". I'm sure you must find that subject fascinating to talk about. Or maybe you'd prefer the topic "Why My People are Better Than Everyone Else and are the Only Ones That Should be Allowed to Continue Living"."[/color]
Robin took the water gratefully, chugging it until Apollo warned otherwise. When the marine and Cybil started butting heads again, he stood. "Cybil, if he has experience it would be wasteful not to listen to him. I know you don't like the military, but still..."
Apollo's muscles tightened as if about to strike, but it seemed at the last second he decided against it, and instead pointed an angry finger at Cybil. "I'M SORRY THAT I COULDN'T SAVE THE PEOPLE TRYING TO INVADE THE EMPIRE! I'm sorry that I can't live in your little idealistic world where people listen to things like logic, and reason! I wish I was in a world where war was never declared, and everything could be solved with diplomacy! But I don't, so I have to go out there like every other soldier, and try to protect my country! Men every day go out there, and lay their lives on the line to protect, little obnoxious punks like you!" He shouted into Cybil's face spraying spit everywhere at her"But to answer your question. The most efficient way to create orphans is to let the murderers in."
Cybil shielded her face with her hand as Apollo got uncomfortably close. [color=9f2089]"See this is what I'm talking about."[/color] She took a step back and wiped her hand off on her clothes. [color=9f2089]"These 'enemies of the empire', you've been taught they 'don't understand logic and reason', and that every last one of them are just 'murderers'. And you ate it right up, because why bother actually thinking, right? Just let whatever it takes to make swinging that sword and pulling that trigger as easy as possible swim around in that head of yours."[/color]
[color=9f2089]"As for you,"[/color] She looked over at Robin. [color=9f2089]"You can learn from him, or you can learn from me. One or the other."[/color]

The doctor looked at both of them. "in Most wars There's no glory, villains or heroes, Only people trying to survive...." The Doctor told both of them. "....and Sometimes you have to do things To ensure survival"
