Jedrick And Xander....

This is somewhere in a little sandy area away from the main village of Halyard....maybe midday to evening....its short yes but icly important

Jedrick had gotten tougher, not easier on the badger, “Was that 100 push-ups and sits up..count out loud boy!” He pushed him with running faster as well and jumping jacks, run to a point ,touch the ground and come back over and over again.

Xander looked ready to collapse as he did this and pants, he touched the ground and returned for the 100th time and although he wanted to sit he stood up straight and arm over chest bowed to Jedrick “Sir..” And waited.

Jedrick nodded “Well done, you may sit now and have some fish and cordial. You are improving and that is always good.”

Xander sits and quietly eats his meal. Spending two days in his room with very little contact and seeing the death of his friend was a lot to go through, he was slapped when he shed a tear by accident later on, a couple deep breaths and a cough he manages to keep another tear at bay.

Jedrick watches him, “Now after the meal I want to see some more running”

Xander speaks “Its, hot sir wouldn’t it be best to rest a little more?” He then frowns, he spoke when he wasn’t talked to and quickly looks down at the sand ”I..am sorry sir, forgive me for speaking”

Jedrick narrows his eyes, but he refrains from slapping the badger, ”Accepted…this time, next time not so much and yes it is hot, its summer but the evening proves good for training and sometimes being out when it’s hot is ok as well . A warrior should care not for the weather, not a true one, ready to face all weather thee is”

Xander simply nods, he has learned to not speak out of turn, to ask questions only when he is told its ok.

Jedrick asks “Your how old now Xander?”

Xander answers right off “4.5 Seasons sir.”

Jedrick nods “I started to learn to use a blade then and so shall you…soon that is”

Xander nods in understanding, “Yes sir” He said quietly.

Jedrick just walks studying the badger, “You are gaining muscle also good as I want you to be strong, I know lets lift some heavy boards”

Xander frowns but quickly eases the front and nods, sure he will lift whatever he is told..rocks, boards, slabs of concert or push a boat into the sea if need be.

Jedrick finds a bench he him life a few times “Ok time to head home, let’s go” He walks towards the house.

Xander follows, his shoulders hurt…his feet hurt…his whole body hurts but he doesn’t complain at all, he has a scar on his check and forehead some now from the claws, he is lucky to not be blind in fact. Another scar from a whip is hidden on his back, that too is healing and will leave a scar, but he complains not, the wildcat did look at it at least. After dinner he will sleep and if lucky can sleep in the next morning.
