"Alright, fair enough. Lead the way. I guess."
He would say with a shrug.

She nodded again, and then turned around to lead him out of the apartments and through the streets once more. People avoided her, as they always did, but the whispers grew louder now that she had somebody following behind her. It wasn't terribly rare to see Lorelai necessarily, but to see her with anybody other than Haku, or without Haku at all, was practically unheard of.
She would lead the way to the TSI bunker.

Drake took a look at their obvious destination point and was feeling uncomfortable.
"Yo, if this turns out to be a trap, Imma tell you now a lot of people are going to die needlessly."

Her shoulders rose and fell in what almost looked like a silent chuckle. She didn't bother to correct him, maintaining her typical silence, as she continued towards the bunker. It was really up to him whether or not he followed.
As they arrived, she took out her badge and flashed it at the guards waiting, who immediately - and without hesitation - allowed both Lorelai and Drake to enter. If he continued to follow her, she would lead him down to the training rooms, most of which were surprisingly unoccupied.

Drake would follow but he would be cautious eyeing everyone and everything. Though doing his best to not appear threatening. He was strong but he heard a rumor that these people had anti meta gear... He wasn't sure what that meant but he didn't like it...

Everybody seemed to pay Drake only minimal attention. They were too busy doing their own things. Lorelai led him to one of the training rooms, and held the door open for him. Like a gentleman.

He raised a brow at her. This one was... weird. But inside he would go and he would inspect the training area.

There was a large, padded mat taking up most of the central training space, obviously meant to cushion any falls and keep people safe. Practice weapons lined two of the walls: everything from swords to flails and maces, and even something akin to a nerf gun. She personally thought all of those were ridiculous, but they were there for the less experienced. A few dummies were placed against the back wall, for personal training.
Lorelai closed the door behind him but didn't bother to lock it. She turned to face him, tilting her head to one side as she approached, pointedly looking at the mat.

"Guess you're wanting to get started then."
He would nod.
"First I'm gonna ask you, do you want me to fight at full power, or do you want me to hold back?"

She snickered and gave a shake of her head.
"I am human. Probably hold back."

Drake nodded.
"That's probably for the best."
He would say as he took off his gloves and put them in his back pocket.
"Alright, Whenever you're ready."

She ran her fingers delicately along the hilt of her sword, cooking a brow at Drake. She was more than certain that she could use the entirety of her strength and still be no match for him, but using a sword might be slightly unfair.
"Blade or no?"

"You said you wanted to test your swordsmanship, yeah?"

She nodded, and with that, she drew her sword. Both hands cradled the hilt, and she took a single, deep breath.
Lorelai's posture relaxed and her eyes focused. When she moved, she used the entirety of her speed, often enough to overwhelm a human opponent, and she moved with utter confidence. It was obvious that she was used to winning on speed alone.
She turned her body just enough to put momentum behind her attack, and swung at Drake's side with a two handed blow.

Drake would respond by pulling the sword out of it's sheath just enough to stop her attack!
"Impressive you're definitely one of the fastest I've met on your world. What else can you do?"
He asked curiously.
