The New Girl In Town (Open)

[Cara Dunn]

After her time at the festival and the healing after, Cara had headed to Cabal as originally planned. It seemed the obvious stop in the road, a military compound fenced in, and also the best place to learn what she could. Slinging her bow over her good shoulder, she eyed teh area before heading towards the front building. Made sense that she should stop there first if they made it that obvious.

"This place is huge." And fancy. People in uniforms, tables and tress creating shade in the lawn. Shouts in teh distance followed by laughter. It seemed a lot like home. For now.

[Rhona Hall]

Rhona passing by would hear Cara's words and stop thinking of offering her help. "You looking to join?" She took a drink of water from a squeeze bottle.

[Cara Dunn]

She didn't think much of the other girl stopping, figuring it was just part of her personal business, but the question drew Cara's attention.

"That's the plan." She nodded and shifted to face the other blonde, considering her. She seemed vaguely familiar, but only just. Another face in the crowd.

"I take it you're from here?"

[Rhona Hall]

"Not from but been here a while at least. I am Rhona, Rhona Hall, I hail from God Territory, training to rise up the Mountain and claim a Right of my own." She nodded reaching a hand to Cara. She would also start to point out a few buildings to help. "Through those doors, people can help you get signed up and over there are the training field and combat facilities, you'll be using those a bit. The Research hall is over yonder... and housing with recreational is right in that direction. What is it you plan to do while you train here?"

[Cara Dunn]

So no one she knew, but she'd know this place. Close enough. Cara nodded, reaching out a hand of her own to introduce herself.

"Cara Dunn. Nice to meet you." She could appreciate ambition, and the help was more than welcome, recognizing God Territory as another protectorate. Her eyes glimmered with interest at the mention of a training field and research hall, two things that were perfect for what she needed.

"Perfect." Shifting her bag to rest further on her other shoulder, she felt a twinge of pain but nothing like it had been.

"I'm here to study what this place has on qi beasts, though I suppose some kind of formal training wouldn't hurt, either."

[Rhona Hall]

Cara was nothing to scoff at she would keep Rhona on her toes if they went head to head. judging by handshake alone there was no meekness and she was lively.

"Qi-beasts?" Rhona had thought about it. "Not sure I see much of those around unless they are unfriendly and cruising for a bruising. Still, We do have a stable and who knows maybe there is something about their study that I have not quite delved into. At the very least if you start any research or study you'll be well off given this place usually has everything people need for whatever suits their fancy."

"Do you have any formal training experience?"

[Cara Dunn]

She didn't think much of Rhona's handshake other than it was confident; it was stronger than those she was around. Coming from a place like Cabal, she'd be more worried if it was otherwise.

"There's plenty back home to deal with," she admitted with a wry grin, "among other things." Setting the back gown, she gave a small thoughtful hum at the mention of a stables. It was definitely a good start, and a good sign she'd was at the right place. From there it was a matter of time.

"That's why I'm here. I have the training I gave myself."

[Rhona Hall]

"That will be interesting to see, should you be in the field at any time feel free to spar with me once in a while. Could test your training at any time." She grinned

[Cara Dunn]

"I'll keep that in mind." She grinned, the corners of her mouth curling with confidence. "In the meantime, you might want to settle for target practice."

[Rhona Hall]

Rhona blinked a time or two trying to understand what Cara meant.

"What do you have in mind?"

[Cara Dunn]

Cara cocked her head towards her bow.

"I don't spar, darlin'. I hunt." It might have felt awkward under other circumstances, but Cara didin't feel any shame. "You want an arrow through your heart or right hook that'll bloody your nose, I'm yours, but if you want fancy dance moves and formal training, you'll have to find them somewhere else."

[Rhona Hall]

Well that was a surprising development She reveals to have a prowess. It grew a grin on Rhona's lips. "You know yeah, that sounds great."

[Cara Dunn]

Well, if she thought she could keep up, then great. Cara was used to the opposite. She shook her head, letting the offer slide for now.

"Good to know. Until then, we'll see what happens." She looked over the buildings again and nodded. "Sounds like I need to go visit the official types, huh?"

[Rhona Hall]

"Oh before you pick a bone with a working soldier?" She thought about it jokingly. "Hm... yeah might be a good idea. Wouldn't want to give the wrong idea." She chuckled. "Rain check on that then?"

[Cara Dunn]

"I'm not looking to have my face redecorated," she agreed wryly. She'd hit thugs just fine, but trained soldiers? That was something for later. One thing at a time.

"Rain check it is.' She hefted teh bag back up with a nod, heading towards the building Rhona had pointed out.

"Until next time."
