— So that's how a fight is done right Charles?
I waited Charles answer patiently and with calm. He looked between me and Jessie for a while before grinning.
— It is. That's a good lesson for you Camille.
I couldn't help the wide smile that spread on my face.
— Well I had a reeeeally good teacher on this one.
— Oh shut up!
I turned and asked as innocently as possible.
— Jessie why are you grumpy? I'm complimenting you on your teaching skills. Wasn't it what you wanted when you accepted to spare with me?
He stopped rubbing his elbow and glared at me.
— Stop being so smug because you managed to beat me once.
Erik cleared his throat.
— I actually counted 5...
— Damn you all! I'm starting to think you complotted against me. That must be it. For her to actually beat me, an experienced and talented hunter.
Charles sighted.
— Oh please boy. Stop being so petulant. You wanted to prove a point and forget that even inexperienced she is still far more strong and faster than you.
I tried to smooth my victory.
— Not so much. I had to use all my strength to counter his.
— Jessie is good but I would like to remind you that you were already spent after your training with Charles. Intervened Erik.
Jessie snickered and left the room.
— Thanks for reminding him of some basis rules Charles. He keeps forgetting that we hunt creatures that are more powerful than us.
My mentor replied absent-mindedly.
— You welcome Erik. I'll walk you to your room Camille.
Jessie is oh-so-impulsive. Erik had to deal with that way too often so of course he is glad for the little "teaching".
