[The snow's piled up again. Mina's got her work cut out for her. At this rate, she'll have to dedicate more than three hours a day at the arena.
Mina isn't here, though. Instead, Louis moves to a corner where he clears out enough snow with manual labor to maneuver himself. Then he takes his sword in hand, gives it an experimental swing, and nods in muted satisfaction before launching into a series of wide swings accompanied by the appropriate footwork.
Doing so quashes some of his concerns. The sword carries a bit of bulk, so he knows now that he hasn't lost his strength. He takes a step back to try again when he glimpses movement out of his periphery.
[ Ann's glad for a little break from being cooped up in the apartment. As much as she begs Seto to come and 'fight her', for some reason he refuses. Kind of like how he refuses to give her a rematch to their race because he CHEATS. But the lack of boyfriend doesn't stop her from coming to at least do a little practice, because after the worm incident the last thing she needs is to get rusty. Besides, it's been a little while, and she's pretty sure Carmen would like to come out and play, too.
Well. Maybe not. It's freezing, and despite her humble Finnish origins, she's not entirely about this cold. Carmen's probably not, either.
She sighs, stretching her arms high above her head, before she blinks as movement catches her attention. Glancing over, she smiles and lifts a hand in greeting. ]
Oh, hey there, Louis! What's up? Here to get a little training in too?
[Louis is dressed as he would be on any other day. His body does a fair job of weathering lesser extremes in temperature, so, while he registers that it's cold, it's not cold enough for him to stay indoors. Moving around helps, too.
Lowering his sword, he raises his free hand to return her greeting.]
[ Unlike her poor companion, she's all bundled up as if it's the ice age all over again. She doesn't plan on staying so cold, of course, but right now... well. It'll pass. Probably. ]
Same! We had a little scare a few months back, and I don't really wanna be unprepared if it happens again, you know? Or something similar.
Well, if I'm honest, I'm not used to really sparring with anyone else. Mostly, I don't want to hurt you, although looking at you carrying that sword around like it's nothing, it's probably very unlikely I could.
[ Is he fire proof, though... well. She doesn't have to use Carmen. Hand to hand combat is just as important. ]

I wouldn't say that. What do you wield in battle?
