You shrug and say that you've had quite a bit of training in hand-to-hand fighting, and that you prefer punches and low kicks in a fight. [color=0066cc]"Though,"[/color] - You add; [color=0066cc]"my training could be applied in many ways. It was based on reading my opponent's moves and countering them, not any specific way of fighting."[/color]
Heno noticed Aqua staring in confusion. "Anybody can join, Stone woman! Is important to get lots of training, ya?" He turned towards Shara again, scratching his chin quizzically. "Hmm... I only train using styles of martial arts... Uh... Take horse stance?
"Here you go, then. Enjoy", Timea said, gently laying the piece of liver into Sibylla's hand, then licking off her own fingers.
"You probably would have, but you still shouldn't waste any food. A creature died to give us that", she said to Hillary after giving the liver piece to Sibylla, glancing down to the girl. "If Sibylla didn't want it, I would've eaten it myself."
A moment after this, Timea looked back to Sibylla, asking, "I wonder, though. Hillary mentioned your snake friends eat, just now? How does that work? I would've thought they'd get all their nutrients from you?"

"Hmm? I'm just confused. What is 'excercise', and what is the purpose of stretching or relaxing muscles?" Aqua asked Heno. "And I would enjoy training, but I doubt you would be able to teach me anything. Not to mention that I will always have my weapon with me, so training unarmed is pointless"
"Exercise, is used to keep body in shape. Strengthen muscles, increase stamina, etc. Is so that you don't get worse at technique, you know. Don't use skill, you lose skill as they say. Is not just for teaching new things. And I can help exercise with weapon. Sword is not for show."
Cybil sighed heavily and relaxed her posture as Zephy walked over and spoke to her. [color=9f2089]"I'm just getting the feeling you might have been right earlier."[/color]
[color=9f2089]"Yes, fine."[/color] She answered Robin.

Sibylla greedily bit into the chunk of meat after she was handed it, showing no signs of eating manners. After eating half herself, she tore off small enough strips of meat for her snakes to swallow and held them up above her scalp for her snakes to snap up, repeating the action until she was out of food. After licking her own fingers clean, she shrugged to Timea. "They git angry an' nasty if'n ah don't give 'em anything when ah eat. S'all ah really know."

You crunch your eyes together for a moment, trying to remember the basic martial arts training you were given. Taking a guess that the horse stance is a basic one, you enter the first stance you were taught. Heno would recognise it as something close to the horse stance, but with the knees less bent.
OoC: Sorry about the late reply.

"You exert your body to stay strong? That makes no sense." Aqua said. She took a few steps back and summoned her mace from her gemstone. "I still don't think you have anything to teach me, but there isn't anything better to do. Perhaps you could even stand to learn from me. I do have thousands of years more experience than you, after all."
Zephy blinked for a moment before she'd smile softly. [color=46e16f] "And what was it that you told me before? Not everyone here's horrible, right?" [/color] The fan dropped from her face as she snapped it shut. [color=46e16f] "Plus, a hero of justice can't get all bent out of shape over one slip-up. They've gotta persevere!" [/color] The blonde's hair began to flow like it was in a gentle breeze as she spoke, pointing her fan toward Cybil.
Her ears twitched as Robin walked closer. [color=46e16f] "Speaking of not horrible, that spell... How'd you do it...?" [/color] Her hair slowly stopped waving as she looked the white haired man over slowly... mainly his clothes.

"I was just checking. You've been kinda quiet since the sparring match." He looked at Zephy. "I have a spell tome. I charge up magical energy, then recite a spell from that."
Watching Sibylla tear in to the meat, Timea frowned a little; not because the lack of manners bothered her, per sé, but because she considdered the hastily tearing into the meat was disrespecting the creature from whence it came. "How... odd... I think their digestive tracks might be linked to yours, but how that would work, exactly, I couldn't" Timea commented in response to Sibylla's answer, then blew a small sigh. "Whatever the case, you don't need to eat so quickly, you know? Nothing is going to come and take your meal from you."
With that said, Timea looked down to Hillary, and nodded, while looking mildly confused. "Well, yes," she answered, her expression then returning to normal, as she understood Hillary wouldn't know what is and isn't an animal outside her own world. "Specifically, a fish."
Timea then took on the form of the giant falcon she had taken on when flying Sibylla and Heno around earlier, this time with a second pouch on her stomach. "Let's head out, though. We'll talk on the way," she announced, her voice sounding a little more shrill again.

"Oh." was all Hillary said. It wasn't clear yet how Hillary took the idea of eating other animals, and frankly she wasn't entirely sure on it either. She didn't have much time to think about it thought as Timea changed into the giant falcon, gasping at the spectacle of it all. "Come on Sybilla." She exclaimed, reaching over to try and take the snakey's hand and guide her to that giant falcon.
Hillary would have a bit of trouble climbing into the pouch, as she couldn't seem to step into the pouch given the sand making her have a more liquid consistency. She would eventually manage however, although if Timea was watching her climb in she'd see Hillary partially deform once she tumbled in before she eventually righted herself without much trouble at all.

Heno corrected her stance, and tried to teach her all the basic punches, before telling her to repeat them some strange number of times until she got a hang of them... He then looked towards her prosthetic, and said. "Probably best to take that off for now. Can't actually tone that muscle after all.
Heno turned towards Aqua."You obviously do not have muscle. Muscle needs to be worked to stay strong... And it's just good to maintain the technique anyway. Now take a basic striking stance?"

"My body is made of light, of course I don't have muscle." Aqua said, then entered a sideways stance with her empty left hand forward and held out defensively, and her mace held low behind her. Her knees were not bent at all, and it was clear that it was self-taught and not a traditional stance
[color=9f2089]"Yeah, I guess you're right."[/color] Cybil took a deep breath in, held it for several seconds, then released, opening her eyes along with her exhale. [color=9f2089]"Thanks."[/color]

"How d'ya'll know that fer sure? Back home there wuz lots a critters whut try'an took mah food." Sibylla sounded rather paranoid as she spoke.
Sibylla didn't put up any sort of resistance as Hillary grabbed her hand and pulled her over, cooperating fully. She'd help Hillary get in if she'd let her, then climbed aboard herself.

[color=46e16f] "Oh...? Interesting..." [/color] The blonde replied softly before tapping her chin with her fan. [color=46e16f] "You... wouldn't mind if I had a look through it, would you?" [/color]She'd ask
Then she turned, giving her sister and thumbs up and a grin. [color=46e16f] "That's more like it! And don't mention it~" [/color]

Allowing yourself to be corrected at first, and preforming the first punches as instructed, you soon revert back to the style taught to you. You tell him that you feel much more comfortable in this more upright stance, and then add that you'd prefer to keep your prosthetic since you'll have to get used to fighting with it.
The stance you settle in is half side-ways on, and with slightly bent knees. Your right arm is pulled back slightly, and your left held out defensively in front of you. Watching you practice, Heno would perhaps notice that your style is based very much on mobility and delivering solid punches. As you practice, you begin to feel pressure building up inside your head.

"Go ahead. Not sure if you can use it though." Robin levitated the tome over to Zephy, then looked at Cybil. "You have any magic, apart from that prediction?"
