Nick: From what I know of her record, pretty well. it said she was on the Fencing, Kendo, and Bat'leth teams in the academy, speaks Klingon fluently and has high marks in Klingon cultural classes. think all that combined, she make a better Klingon than most other Starfleet officers would.
********
Bri: *she takes the Bat'leth offered, examining it and checking its balance* This will be to the death or do you have other intentions?
***********
Freeman: Rin is durable as well. but maybe not on our level. If They both fought full on, truthfully, and i mean no offence to you Kenzie, but I think Rin would be rather effective. With her bare hands, she's punched into a mounted anti ship, heavy turbolaser to damage it heavily.
Seku: Yeah, that was crazy
"We have no tomorrow, but there's still hope for the future. In our struggle to survive the present, we push the future farther away. Will I see it in my lifetime? Probably not. Which means there's no time to waste. Someday the world will no longer need us. No need for the gun, or the hand to pull the trigger." -Punished Snake
T'Panne: I will take your word for it. I have not had many interactions with the rest of starfleet during my Tenure at Tartarus, but in that era where I was able to, I would agree with your assessment.
***
Achogho: *He scratches his at his beard* No, if I win you will go free. I suspect trying to capture you would be more trouble than it's worth and I would not want your ship's ire should you fall.
*The bat'leth is weighted normally, nothing unusual about it's balance or heft. Achogho waits for Bri to ready herself or continue, lifting his weapon to his hands*
***
Clea: *she gives a nod to the Jorin memory* Will she ever be? The pain of loss isn't something most can prepare themselves for. I have not suffered it myself, so it is a difficult thing for me to be the judge of, but from what I've seen of others... *she thinks to Jorin and the recent events on Hoth* maybe she will. But I'll be there to remind her that she still has family and those standing beside her, and that while what befell her brothers in the past will hurt... it is in the past.
***
Rin: Well without the force I wouldn't be likely to damage it.
*She chuckles* that was before I got my "Waine" model armor too. Maybe she would win, though I am much stronger and faster than you might think. While I can fight with a lightsaber, I'm at my best in hand to hand unarmed combat. Besides, don't sell an Echani short. *she shrugs* Might be better to just sit back, eat and enjoy the fun though.
Kenzie: ya’ll haven’t seen what I’m truly capable of, but suit yourself. Maybe Jorin’ll wanna go.
Mira: if she ever gets here.
*the hall is much louder now as the wrestling starts. A larger mando walks onto the hastily made ring and looks around pointing at kenzie*
Love struck mando: you! Spartan I will wrestle you to declare my love
Kenzie: *blinks a few times* me? I’m flattered but I’m already taken
Love struck mando: then I challenge the one who has taken you!
Kenzie: *looks down at raeshe* are you up for this? Other wise I could just put him in his place.
******
Jorin?: even if I wanted to I could not stop you. Tho you will need to prepare yourself for our unrestrained anger. She has been pushing it down with recent events that anger has only grown. She can only ignore it for so long, I suspect that regaining her memories will break the seal that holds it….. *the apparition looks around as the ground begins to shake* my time here wains, remember this exchange clea… remember us…. Remember that we once lived… *cleas vision begins to blur as the scene around her crumbles. The apparition takes off it’s broken helmet giving her a solemn nod, it may be the blurred vision but for a moment he looked as verok did before he died tho they do share the same face* don’t let her fall, you’re the only one that can pull her out when the time comes. *his words warped and echo in her mind as she regains consciousness, Jorin stirs on her lap*
"The rains have ceased and we are graced with another beautiful day. but you are not here to see it."
Nick: I only wish I could see it with my own eyes. *he chuckles* or battle with my own hands.
***********
Bri: *she gives the blade some practice swings, showing off a bit of her fighting form to show she knows what she's doing for the most part, giving it a spin in her hands before taking a ready stance, awaiting Achogho to do the same*
***********
Freeman: This has taken quite a turn.
Seku: Is this what Mandalorians do to try to win someone over?

T'Panne: I do not understand your excitement for wishing to take part in it yourself, but I am confident it will resolve favorably.
***
Achogho: *He also gets into a stance and moves forward closing the gap but at a steady, almost casual pace. He has no rush to his movements, rather there's an air of patience, a focus on defense*
***
Clea: *she looks around as she regains consciousness, her unique eye feeling sorer than usual like before she began to accept the strain it placed on her. She continues to pet Jorin and sighs. She has a responsibility to see this through and save her aunt if need be. She needs to have confidence in herself and the trust the other Jorin placed on her.*
***
Reashe: I could give it a try, though I'm not sure how I'll do. *she looks like she wants to defend Kenzie, but Reashe is quite small and on the soft side, it will be a tough fight for her, she's not a veteran mandalorian yet.*
Rin: Maybe having something to fight for will stir your fighting spirit eh?
Nick: maybe because for centuries I've been a warrior and a soldier long before even being a starfleet officer, fighting and sparring being one of the things I enjoy greatly in my life?
***********
Bri: *she circles around, also drawing closer. opening with Kilog's gambit, slashing at him, narrowly missing on purpose. Instead of following up with B'Arq's defense as one would traditionally do using such a move, she clashes blades with him since he's focusing on defense, pushing her blade hard, enough to show that she's not any ordinary trill when it comes to strength but not going all out. grinning, she lets him ease into the fight*
***********
Freeman: *whispers to reashe* word of advice. guy waiting in there? Been having stomach problems lately I feel. focus on a few abdomen shots

[qT'Panne: I comprehend the deduction as to why you would be capable of it, my words were more to represent my own lack of understanding of such a feeling, as I find it illogical but I am bound by the culture I was born into.
***
Achogho: *He moves with the clash, using the shape of the blades to pull Bri closer and then feint with the other half of the bat'leth only to stop the blade suddenly and maneuver to push her off balance making it harder for her to keep up. He does find it unusual how she's displaying so much strength, he would expect it of the Vulcan woman, or one of the Romulans, but he does not believe Trill are that strong naturally. Perhaps one of the infamous augments that caused so many problems with that damned virus? He shutters the thoughts for now, he must focus his attention here and now, she will not be an easy opponent*
T'Lera: *She watches, rubbing her arm as she sees them clash*
***
Clea: You did, I didn't want to wake you, I thought you needed the rest. *She gives her a warm smile*
***
Reashe: I'll do my best. *She nods to the others, taking off parts of her armor as well and moving to the ring. She eyes him up, muttering something about the force and with me, preparing herself.*
Lythe: she’s just toying with him the soundest course of action is to end it swiftly
Kara: cuz it’s fun?
Lythe: hmm. *she takes out a padd writing something down*
******
Mando reff: *looks to raeshe* as the one challenged you name the conditions, to first blood or knock out?
*the man looks larger up close standing 6’5 and built like a brick wall*
Mando challenger: I’ll crush you like a bug tiny! *he seems heavily buzzed as he sways slightly pointing at her*
Kenzie: she’s got this in the bag
******
Jorin: I guess I haven’t slept in awhile… *she rubs the back of her neck* odd it doesn’t feel like I slept. *she shakes her head* anyway uh sorry for keeping you, if you want to rejoin everyone I’ll be fine here.
*a pulse of searing pain shoots thru her one eye as for a split second Jorin takes on the appearance of her old self from the dream. Clea’s ears ring as he mouths something but as soon as it happens it’s gone and Jorin is back to normal the pain and ringing gone*
"The rains have ceased and we are graced with another beautiful day. but you are not here to see it."
Nick: Ah, so it was a rhetorical question? should have just said that.
**********
Bri: *her tail which is currently invisible thanks to kara helps her keep balance as she takes a step back. Gripping the middle and lower grips of the bat'leth she winds up a swing more like a baseball or sword swing, aiming at his torso, glancing his blade with her own. the slash going diagonally, up to down, she uses the momentum to keep herself going and catch him off guard with a kick to the undefended side before retaking a defensive stance, narrowly avoiding getting her ankle nicked by the blade moving to defend* You can do more than stand blocking hits, i feel like you're holding back on me, Achogho
*********
Freeman: I hope so.
"We have no tomorrow, but there's still hope for the future. In our struggle to survive the present, we push the future farther away. Will I see it in my lifetime? Probably not. Which means there's no time to waste. Someday the world will no longer need us. No need for the gun, or the hand to pull the trigger." -Punished Snake
Achogho: *He continues his probing attacks and feints, watching how she reacts and her focus, analyzing her fighting style* Battles are not always won by the most vicious. Cunning and intellect served a warrior well even in a physical confrontation. *He moves again with another feint but this time twists his bat'leth to hook her blade through one of the gaps in the metal and suddenly twist making it significantly harder to defend while the twist also enables him to slash with the other half* You are very unusual.
***
Reashe: Lets go for knockout. *she takes a stance, watching the massive Mando and preparing herself* Ready.
***
Clea: Are you sure you want to stay out here away from the others? *she rubs the back of her neck* I guess you didn't really get enough sleep then.
Lythe: hmm I suppose this could be considered a debate with out words.
*******
Large mando: *gets into an odd looking stance as he sways a bit. He seems drunk but to a trained eye he looks composed as if using the swaying to throw off his opponent tho the smell of alcohol on his breath is heavy. He stumbles forward and throws a surprisingly fast round house kick to her side following up with a three rapidly throw straight punches over extending on the last one*
Kenzie: Interesting style but definitely amateur
******
Jorin: I’m uuh not very sociable but if you really want me there….
"The rains have ceased and we are graced with another beautiful day. but you are not here to see it."
Bri: *she responds to the probing attacks and feints defensively, though using the opportunities to get more physical hits in, kicks and elbows, there would be a headbutt too if she had an opening for it. he can tell based on the strength she was showing before that she'd holding back on these hits, not going full force but they do still hurt, take a bit of wind out of him each time. moving with unnatural grace and balance due to her unseen tail, when he hooks her bat'leth and makes it hard to defend, realizing his blade is locked with hers while its hooked, twisting hard with her strength to throw the slash and him off balance and course, narrowly missing her face as she avoids the swing, pulling her bat'leth back and slashing diagonally down to up, catching him in the leg potentially while he's still off balance* There is a balance between intellect, cunning, strength, willpower, and of course, a little luck. I'll say you're a bit unusual yourself, but in a fun way. *she comments after taking up a defensive stance once more regardless if her slash nicks him in the leg or not.*
*****
Freeman: She can use his own momentum against him. Lets see how this plays out
"We have no tomorrow, but there's still hope for the future. In our struggle to survive the present, we push the future farther away. Will I see it in my lifetime? Probably not. Which means there's no time to waste. Someday the world will no longer need us. No need for the gun, or the hand to pull the trigger." -Punished Snake
Achogho: *Despite her twisting pulling him off balance, thanks to the design of the bat'leth he's able to sweep the other side of it to deflect her strike, preventing too much damage from being done.* You fight well, as if with formal training. I doubt there are many in the federation with such in depth knowledge. *He muses that she is likely still from the future which could explain such a thing, but he still finds it impressive that she knows proper bat'leth combat and not simply what an outside observer might have seen of it.*
***
Reashe: *She focuses on dodging the kick due to its power but with the punches she does not hesitate to deflect them though their strength makes it harder on her. Her reactions are quick, almost instinctive. Its not quite on the level of someone with a true connection to the force but her adherent training shows itself due to how well she anticipates the blows. She takes advantage of the final punch, trying to use it and his own body to help bring him to the ground with a careful trip*
Rin: Oooh, a drunken based style? Those are rather rare in the galaxy.
***
Clea: I think it'd be nice to have you around. *She gives Jorin a quick hug* And it'd mean a lot to the others to know you're okay too.
Jorin: alright then. *she lets out a small “brrrt” sound as she’s hugged* lets not keep them waiting. *she makes her way to the mess with clea*
******
Large mando: *the trip catches him off balance and sends him stumbling, he rolls a few times then lies flat on the ground with a loud belch*
Announcer mando: *walks over to the large mando* and he’s out like a light, the winner by knock out is raeshe! *the crowd starts to laugh not at raeshe but at the large mando making an a** of himself* now who else wishes to fight? Perhaps the juggernaut herself? *he motions to kenzie* or one of our new comers?
Kenzie: err I’ll sit these out it’d be unfair for me to fight anyone here.
*Jorin walks in looking around*
Jorin: I leave for ten minutes and they set up a fighting ring… *she lets out a chucking sigh*
Announcer mando: *looks over noticing Jorin.* ah surely our leader will grace the ring? For who among you can withstand the dragons flames! The wrath of mandalore made flesh!
Mira: damn almost makes me want to fight her.
"The rains have ceased and we are graced with another beautiful day. but you are not here to see it."
Bri: I had good teachers and mentors. *she lowers her bat'leth* First blood it seems. I was trying to establish the victory conditions before we started since we agreed it isn't to the death. Do you relent or shall we continue?
************
Freeman: See, knew she had it.
"We have no tomorrow, but there's still hope for the future. In our struggle to survive the present, we push the future farther away. Will I see it in my lifetime? Probably not. Which means there's no time to waste. Someday the world will no longer need us. No need for the gun, or the hand to pull the trigger." -Punished Snake
Achogho: *He rests part of the bat'leth blade on the floor and nods* I relent. Go, take your prize. *He gestures to T'Panne and the others. Though he does give an odd glance to T'Panne, its entirely because he still feels disappointed he was unable to experience proper melee combat with a Vulcan.*
T'Lera: *She lets out a sigh of a relief that it all turned out alright*
T'Panne: *She gives a respectful bow as her and her surviving crew are all freed from their restraints before coming over to the others. T'Lera has to resist the urge to hug her, but they do give a friendly vulcan greeting to each other*
***
Reashe: *She looks a little surprised but then cheers out before coming over to Kenzie and giving her a proud passionate kiss as if trying to show off in case anyone else gets any ideas* How'd I do?
Clea: Oh? *She giggles as they invite Jorin to fight* I wonder who should attempt it. Rin perhaps? Mira? *She looks between them wondering who would be more fun for Jorin to spar with.*
Rin: *She gives a little wave, unsure if she should really partake especially after her last conversation with Jorin*
Kenzie: *gently lifts her up and spins in place as she returns the kiss, setting her down offer a moment* really uuh marking your territory huh? *she says with a joking grin* you did great, using his own mass against him was smart.
Mira: *pats her stomach* got a bun in the oven so I’m taking it easy for the next nine months, when it’s baked tho I’d love to go a round or two.
Jorin: I suppose that leaves rin or the spartan. I’m not sure of rin’s capabilities but I know of the echani. *she looks at kenzie* I must admit after seeing you in battle I am eager to test my mettle against you.
Kenzie: *smirks cracking her knuckles* well I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t waiting for this, we could make it interesting with a wager. That is unless you’d rather fight rin.
Jorin: hmm I suppose that depends on her *she says looking over at rin with a brow perked*
"The rains have ceased and we are graced with another beautiful day. but you are not here to see it."
Bri: the honor was all mine *she says while bowing and offering the bat'leth back* I'm glad we could resolve this. What are your plans next? If you've got nothing on your schedule, could offer you something.
******
Seku: you don't have to fight it you don't want to, Rin.
Freeman: *he downs a drink*
"We have no tomorrow, but there's still hope for the future. In our struggle to survive the present, we push the future farther away. Will I see it in my lifetime? Probably not. Which means there's no time to waste. Someday the world will no longer need us. No need for the gun, or the hand to pull the trigger." -Punished Snake
Achogho: I'll be returning to Qo'nos. I don't feel like chasing the prize I sought out here any longer. *He gives a look to one of the other Klingons who takes the bat'leth and returns it to its mount*
***
Reashe: Yeah, I wanted them to know for sure. *With that she gives a playful little smirk though her look becomes curious at Kenzie's response to the request for a fight.* Oh? What kind of wager were you planning?
Rin: If Jorin would like to I suppose I can. *She gives a nod, before trying to reassure Seku that she doesn't need to worry* It will be fine. Probably. *She gets up and starts to stretch*
Jorin: hmm I suppose it would be rude to challenge a newly arrived guest, and Kenzie has been wanting this fight for awhile now.
Kenzie: yeah… tho I would have rather fought you when you were bigger. *she looks over at rin* sorry maybe next time? *she then whispers to raeshe* you’ll have to wait and see.
"The rains have ceased and we are graced with another beautiful day. but you are not here to see it."
Briana: Gonna take up science or something? or just gonna sit home in a villa sipping bloodwine until the empire calls upon you once more?
***********
Freeman: Jorin, you fighting anyone has a lot of.... connotations around it. you sure you're up for it?
"We have no tomorrow, but there's still hope for the future. In our struggle to survive the present, we push the future farther away. Will I see it in my lifetime? Probably not. Which means there's no time to waste. Someday the world will no longer need us. No need for the gun, or the hand to pull the trigger." -Punished Snake
Jorin: *she looks between rin and kenzie* a fight with either of you wouldn’t be fare on my end, you’d mop the floor with me
Marek: yes I see your concern freeman, jorins hold over the clan is fragile at best, no one questioned when the previous Jorin named them his successor yet even now she has large boots to fill and much to prove.
Jorin: and losing to Kenzie would only prove my weakness. *she sighs looking bothered by something*
Kenzie: I guess you’re right. But wouldn’t turning down a fight make you look bad too?
Jorin: damned if I do damned if I don’t…
"The rains have ceased and we are graced with another beautiful day. but you are not here to see it."
Briana: Well whatever there is left, I wish you luck with it. Perhaps we'll meet again someday. *She looks to T'Lera and T'Panne* Mother and daughter reunited again. Shall we get you to where we've got to go then? I suppose your crew is coming with us. I wonder how much that changes things for the situation. We'll make sure they're at home on the Tepes.
********
Freeman: I apologize for voicing my concerns, but I don't want to see you lose your hold on the clan jorin. It's probably the only thing holding you together and keeping you above ground.... I doubt you being my master to train me is enough to keep you going if you lost the clan, and I'd rather not test otherwise. You're too important to me and the rest of us for many reasons.
Seku: What's wrong, Brian? Don't think we could train you well? *She teasingly gestures between herself and Rin*
Freeman: Not at the cost it would come with.
"We have no tomorrow, but there's still hope for the future. In our struggle to survive the present, we push the future farther away. Will I see it in my lifetime? Probably not. Which means there's no time to waste. Someday the world will no longer need us. No need for the gun, or the hand to pull the trigger." -Punished Snake
T'Lera: Here, Captain. This might be of some help to you. *She hands the vial to Achogho. While some of the Klingons seem wary at first, Achogho shows now fear, whatever it is if a Vulcan is the one giving it to him with those words, they are likely to be genuine and the situation had been resolved amicably already.*
Achogho: I will... see that it goes to good use, after we understand it. Your people are free to return to your ship when you are ready.
T'Panne: Once we cure my affliction, this body of mine will need to remain here, and I can lead my crew once more as I had before. It will be of little issue overall though they will still appreciate some quarters while we make our return trip to vulcan. Afterwards, I should be able to report to Starfleet.
***
Clea: Just friendly sparring is allowed right?
Rin: Well, a potential way around it would be if Kenzie and I sparred instead, though I'm not sure I want to get up to something that I assume would be... very intense. But if it would help Jorin it'd be fine.
Jorin: *looks between rin and seku then down at herself with a sigh* you’d learn much more from them…… and honestly I don’t even have it in me…. I’m not in fighting shape mentally or physically. *she sighs* I should’ve just stayed in the reactor room.
Kenzie: I understand. I’d say let the others have the ring.
"The rains have ceased and we are graced with another beautiful day. but you are not here to see it."
Briana: It's a gift from me to you. You don't seem the type to use a single dose for yourself, I'm sure you can figure out how to reverse engineer it. After all you probably already have once. *She looks to T'Panne* and I mean they'll have quarters until we can reach a starbase or another ship to drop you off. We can't just leave you floating in escape pods. Though shore leave on Vulcan could probably work better while you work everything out with command. *She looks to Kara* That's everything. Back to the Tepes.
*****
Freeman: Jorin, there's more to this than fighting. Your mind may not be ready to fight but you can teach me other things. And I'm not just gonna abandon you!
"We have no tomorrow, but there's still hope for the future. In our struggle to survive the present, we push the future farther away. Will I see it in my lifetime? Probably not.

Jorin: I guess I haven’t slept in awhile… *she rubs the back of her neck* odd it doesn’t feel like I slept. *she shakes her head* anyway uh sorry for keeping you, if you want to rejoin everyone I’ll be fine here.
*a pulse of searing pain shoots thru her one eye as for a split second Jorin takes on the appearance of her old self from the dream. Clea’s ears ring as he mouths something but as soon as it happens it’s gone and Jorin is back to normal the pain and ringing gone*
**********
Bri: *her tail which is currently invisible thanks to kara helps her keep balance as she takes a step back. Gripping the middle and lower grips of the bat'leth she winds up a swing more like a baseball or sword swing, aiming at his torso, glancing his blade with her own. the slash going diagonally, up to down, she uses the momentum to keep herself going and catch him off guard with a kick to the undefended side before retaking a defensive stance, narrowly avoiding getting her ankle nicked by the blade moving to defend* You can do more than stand blocking hits, i feel like you're holding back on me, Achogho
*********
Freeman: I hope so.
***
Reashe: Lets go for knockout. *she takes a stance, watching the massive Mando and preparing herself* Ready.
***
Clea: Are you sure you want to stay out here away from the others? *she rubs the back of her neck* I guess you didn't really get enough sleep then.
Lythe: hmm I suppose this could be considered a debate with out words.
*******
Large mando: *gets into an odd looking stance as he sways a bit. He seems drunk but to a trained eye he looks composed as if using the swaying to throw off his opponent tho the smell of alcohol on his breath is heavy. He stumbles forward and throws a surprisingly fast round house kick to her side following up with a three rapidly throw straight punches over extending on the last one*
Kenzie: Interesting style but definitely amateur
******
Jorin: I’m uuh not very sociable but if you really want me there….
*****
Freeman: She can use his own momentum against him. Lets see how this plays out
***
Reashe: *She focuses on dodging the kick due to its power but with the punches she does not hesitate to deflect them though their strength makes it harder on her. Her reactions are quick, almost instinctive. Its not quite on the level of someone with a true connection to the force but her adherent training shows itself due to how well she anticipates the blows. She takes advantage of the final punch, trying to use it and his own body to help bring him to the ground with a careful trip*
Rin: Oooh, a drunken based style? Those are rather rare in the galaxy.
***
Clea: I think it'd be nice to have you around. *She gives Jorin a quick hug* And it'd mean a lot to the others to know you're okay too.
Lythe: hmm
******
Jorin: alright then. *she lets out a small “brrrt” sound as she’s hugged* lets not keep them waiting. *she makes her way to the mess with clea*
******
Large mando: *the trip catches him off balance and sends him stumbling, he rolls a few times then lies flat on the ground with a loud belch*
Announcer mando: *walks over to the large mando* and he’s out like a light, the winner by knock out is raeshe! *the crowd starts to laugh not at raeshe but at the large mando making an a** of himself* now who else wishes to fight? Perhaps the juggernaut herself? *he motions to kenzie* or one of our new comers?
Kenzie: err I’ll sit these out it’d be unfair for me to fight anyone here.
*Jorin walks in looking around*
Jorin: I leave for ten minutes and they set up a fighting ring… *she lets out a chucking sigh*
Announcer mando: *looks over noticing Jorin.* ah surely our leader will grace the ring? For who among you can withstand the dragons flames! The wrath of mandalore made flesh!
Mira: damn almost makes me want to fight her.
************
Freeman: See, knew she had it.
T'Lera: *She lets out a sigh of a relief that it all turned out alright*
T'Panne: *She gives a respectful bow as her and her surviving crew are all freed from their restraints before coming over to the others. T'Lera has to resist the urge to hug her, but they do give a friendly vulcan greeting to each other*
***
Reashe: *She looks a little surprised but then cheers out before coming over to Kenzie and giving her a proud passionate kiss as if trying to show off in case anyone else gets any ideas* How'd I do?
Clea: Oh? *She giggles as they invite Jorin to fight* I wonder who should attempt it. Rin perhaps? Mira? *She looks between them wondering who would be more fun for Jorin to spar with.*
Rin: *She gives a little wave, unsure if she should really partake especially after her last conversation with Jorin*
Lythe: it would seem so.
******
Kenzie: *gently lifts her up and spins in place as she returns the kiss, setting her down offer a moment* really uuh marking your territory huh? *she says with a joking grin* you did great, using his own mass against him was smart.
Mira: *pats her stomach* got a bun in the oven so I’m taking it easy for the next nine months, when it’s baked tho I’d love to go a round or two.
Jorin: I suppose that leaves rin or the spartan. I’m not sure of rin’s capabilities but I know of the echani. *she looks at kenzie* I must admit after seeing you in battle I am eager to test my mettle against you.
Kenzie: *smirks cracking her knuckles* well I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t waiting for this, we could make it interesting with a wager. That is unless you’d rather fight rin.
Jorin: hmm I suppose that depends on her *she says looking over at rin with a brow perked*
******
Seku: you don't have to fight it you don't want to, Rin.
Freeman: *he downs a drink*
***
Reashe: Yeah, I wanted them to know for sure. *With that she gives a playful little smirk though her look becomes curious at Kenzie's response to the request for a fight.* Oh? What kind of wager were you planning?
Rin: If Jorin would like to I suppose I can. *She gives a nod, before trying to reassure Seku that she doesn't need to worry* It will be fine. Probably. *She gets up and starts to stretch*
*******
Jorin: hmm I suppose it would be rude to challenge a newly arrived guest, and Kenzie has been wanting this fight for awhile now.
Kenzie: yeah… tho I would have rather fought you when you were bigger. *she looks over at rin* sorry maybe next time? *she then whispers to raeshe* you’ll have to wait and see.
***********
Freeman: Jorin, you fighting anyone has a lot of.... connotations around it. you sure you're up for it?
*T'Lera looks over to Lythe and Kara wondering how they're feeling*
***
Clea: It might be good for her. *she gives a little nod, still nibbling on some snack from the feast*
Rin: Its alright Kenzie, really. *she takes a seat trying to reassure her*
*Reashe still looks curious but nods, waiting patiently*
Marek: yes I see your concern freeman, jorins hold over the clan is fragile at best, no one questioned when the previous Jorin named them his successor yet even now she has large boots to fill and much to prove.
Jorin: and losing to Kenzie would only prove my weakness. *she sighs looking bothered by something*
Kenzie: I guess you’re right. But wouldn’t turning down a fight make you look bad too?
Jorin: damned if I do damned if I don’t…
********
Freeman: I apologize for voicing my concerns, but I don't want to see you lose your hold on the clan jorin. It's probably the only thing holding you together and keeping you above ground.... I doubt you being my master to train me is enough to keep you going if you lost the clan, and I'd rather not test otherwise. You're too important to me and the rest of us for many reasons.
Seku: What's wrong, Brian? Don't think we could train you well? *She teasingly gestures between herself and Rin*
Freeman: Not at the cost it would come with.
Achogho: I will... see that it goes to good use, after we understand it. Your people are free to return to your ship when you are ready.
T'Panne: Once we cure my affliction, this body of mine will need to remain here, and I can lead my crew once more as I had before. It will be of little issue overall though they will still appreciate some quarters while we make our return trip to vulcan. Afterwards, I should be able to report to Starfleet.
***
Clea: Just friendly sparring is allowed right?
Rin: Well, a potential way around it would be if Kenzie and I sparred instead, though I'm not sure I want to get up to something that I assume would be... very intense. But if it would help Jorin it'd be fine.
******
Jorin: *looks between rin and seku then down at herself with a sigh* you’d learn much more from them…… and honestly I don’t even have it in me…. I’m not in fighting shape mentally or physically. *she sighs* I should’ve just stayed in the reactor room.
Kenzie: I understand. I’d say let the others have the ring.
*****
Freeman: Jorin, there's more to this than fighting. Your mind may not be ready to fight but you can teach me other things. And I'm not just gonna abandon you!
T'Lera: Lets get going and finish this.
***
Rin: *She pats Jorin on the back and Clea gives Jorin a hug* Don't be so hard on yourself. You've done a good job leading from what I've seen.
Reashe: *She sighs* I guess maybe we shouldn't have had that brawl before, then it wouldn't have started this conversation.
