Leo needed to train.
In fact, she needed to train pretty badly. It was obvious, after nearly getting her a** beat by an old human, that she really, really needed to get better at this fighting thing.
Well, not that that hadn't been obvious before. But her first lair task for the Lost Clan had pretty much carved it out in relief; she sucked. She seriously, honestly, horribly blew at fighting, if a feeble old human (with a cane for jack's sake) could nearly get the best of her. Her and Mei had only narrowly escaped that encounter.
So. Obviously more training was needed, and so that was what she'd been doing this last half hour. She'd parked herself at one of the training dummies and alternated between punching and kicking, just as Yin had shown her. It was pretty basic, considering what some of the other students were doing, but it was the best she could do - and hadn't she heard someone say once that the basics were always the most important when it came to fighting?
It didn't matter anyway, because Leo would continue to train, no matter what anyone said or did. She would get better, even if she had to work her a** off to get there.

Fai paused, looking at her curiously through pitch black eyes. "You do realize, darkling, that I'm a horseman, don't you?" he asked after a second. "But if that's not a problem, yes, I would be very interested in seeing the level of power that Halloween students have." It was a great idea, he realized. He would be able to compare their power levels.
"Tell me, are you new to this school or have you risen in rank?" he asked, starting his scientific research.

"Er." Okay, so that did explain a few things, loincloth included. "Well, that's not really a problem for me, so no worries." Although it meant that she'd probably be getting her a** kicked pretty quickly; but that'd always been the likeliest outcome, anyway, and surely there was something to learn in defeat as well.
"I'm not exactly new to this school, but I haven't really risen in rank either. Some family troubles kept me from school, you know how it goes." Did he? He was a horseman and she wasn't quite sure whether or not they had schools. Still, the concept wasn't that hard to grasp and he seemed intelligent enough. "I just came back recently."

"I see," Fai said. "I suppose we should go into the large building for this spar? I would enjoy seeing inside," he said, shamelessly taking advantage of this new excuse and heading inside. It smelled faintly of blood and the sound of battle caught his ears.
"Ah, lovely," he said happily. "I see there's an empty sparring room there?" he suggested, only to head into the sparring room in question before she could reply. Poor, poor little scareling, led around by the big--
Nope, Fai was barely 5'6. But he was still a horseman!

"Yes of course," he said, although he was somewhat disappointed. He would have liked to have seen her FEAR ability. Were they different from those of the horsemen? Ah well, perhaps when he got another spar.
"If you don't mind, I would like to begin," Fai said, taking a strange stance. His hands shot out, hitting her several times quickly with his fingertips, each in a vital spot. Ah, it had been quite some time since he had gotten his hands dirty, so to say. He rather enjoyed it.

Ouch, his attack had hurt. It was a bit like Yin's attack, if she thought about it - the quick targeting of what she figured were special points on her body. Yin had been nicer about it though, holding back a bit, whereas this horseman wasn't holding back at all.
Which she quite appreciated, in a way. She'd known when he said he was a horseman that the likelyhood of this battle lasting very long hadn't been big at all; but surely there was still something to learn, even from a quick battle.
As he was withdrawing from his attack, she went in with a punch, channelling her personal FEAR fragment. That didn't count as a FEAR ability, did it? Although then again... She was a bit worried about it and her distraction made the punch much less effective than it could've been.
Right. Might as well just clear it up. "FEAR fragment, can we still use that this battle?"

She managed a happy smile at his compliment before his fingers found her throat. This boil was good, that was for sure - she wasn't sure her FEAR shield would last much longer. But it was educational; even though Yin's style had been somewhat similar in utilizing some of the same principles, there were still rather big differences between the two boils' fighting styles. So even as she was losing pretty badly, Leo still felt like she was learning a bit about other fighting forms.
She took his advice and waited a second to recover from his latest attack before speaking; "Oh, I'm a Monster. A Mare, to be more precise; there's not a whole lot of us around, but we're common enough still. What about you? Which one of the old clans are you from?" That might've been a bit of an insensitive question, but she meant no harm - the Mare was genuinely curious. She'd yet to learn how to discern the different clans just from their clothing styles, but she was working on it, and had at least gotten a bit better since joining the Lost Clan as an initiated student.
Charging forward, she went in for another punch. It was pretty weak, but at least it connected.
