"Again!"
I hear him yell, and I kick the dummy again and again and again, and it falls to the floor cracks under the smooth vanilla coloured floor i'm clearly breathless. I put my hands on my knees and take deep and long breaths and now I can hear his footsteps walking closer, I can see his black hair with zero to no grey hairs and I look up to see the friendly green eyes just like my own staring down at me, then his putting a hand on my shoulder.
"Deep breaths, Scar."
He says softly and gently.
And I fully look up and stand up and I smirk.
"I'm fine"
"Say kiddo."
He walks over to the weapons on the wall, grabs two swords, and throws one to me and I catch it with my left hand.
"How about you spar me?"
I sigh.
"I wanna spar mum!"
I almost whine and he just chuckles at me the sound smooth and deep with the accent I know all to well. Then puts a hand on his chest.
"You don't want to spar with me?! I'm hurt my dear, hurt. I'll have you know there are many who would kill for the opportunity"
I roll my eyes and huff.
"I could still best you"
He chuckled again and smirks.
"Your only fourteen darling, don't get to cocky now"
we get into fighting positions are green eyes staring into the others.
