"I will take that break but after that let's keep going. More training blades though. I'm not quite ready for more of that at the moment."

Alistair smiled approvingly. "It's good to know your limits. I'd be happy to continue."

Emily grinned.

Several hours later Emily walked out with a sword in a sheathe slung across her back. Waist sheathes just weren't very practical if you were going to be doing any climbing.

In between fights and Kata's Emily had had a short conversation with her parents. She had promised to be careful, and then promised again when they didn't believe her the first time.

The second time they had either believed her or given up and accepted that she'd be herself.

She'd also promised to call them again every day she could.

Regardless, she had other things to do now. She was on her way to a shooting range. Archery was more fun but she had promised to be careful and at her skill level and especially with her lower stats guns just did more DPS. That might change if she specialized but she wasn't quite willing to commit to that. Specialization was boring.
