    The man is still confused. Now what are undead? Sounds like some kind of living after someone died or so.

But it will take more than fleetness of foot to make you a warrior. Tell me," she opens one gauntlet. "Have you any dead trees? Something, perhaps, the camp would wish to be rid of?"

    Iknika nods and goes to ask Brinika. The tiny goblin will have a solid block of wood brought shortly, by her drone or someone else.

    In that case, Eschelle leads Iknika a little ways into the woods and props the block up on a small stone shelf by a babbling brook. She holds down each end with her hands.

    "Strike the block, dear heart,"
    the lady commands, staring at Iknika with those strange eyes like ruddy pieces of gold.

    Sophie tilts her head.

    "Maybe. It's always hard to tell whether two kinds of magic can work together. I'll ask her, though. Perhaps you can exchange notes."

    [Exercises!]

    Iknika strikes the block with all her might. Which is not considerable. Eschelle will doubtlessly notice that her swing is too wide, and she bends her arm back too far, losing energy.

    "Control your swing! Both hands, girl! Don't pet the thing with one and throw with the other,"
    Eschelle commands, her voice as steady as her own hands. "Put your hands higher on the haft, but not too high. Straighten your back, and get your weight behind it. You have to use every ounce."

    "Now! Do it!"
    And again she'll say such, several more times, until Iknika is chopping and hacking of her own volition without a need for a command. A purely automatic thing.

    "That would be awesome. And I doubt things will be to different, if it is like Mr Balthier says."
    he replies. Then his expression changes and he pokes his fingers against each other.
    "Notes?" he asks. "I guess that might be a problem, since I don't got any."

    Provided her form needs no further adjustments, Eschelle intends to work the goblin until she can't swing any longer, and may even enforce a few more strikes after that.

    When she's satisfied, Eschelle releases the block of wood and walks around to put a hand on Iknika's shoulder. She'll try to take the hatchet back so she can stow it away, and she peers closely at the block. Appraising the damage, mostly, but destroying the block wasn't the point of the exercise. "That was good. We have a long road ahead, dear heart, but I think there is knighthood at its end." She glances around. "There will come a time when you'll fell trees such as these with a single stroke."

    [EXERCISES!]

    "Hmm..."
    Eschelle muses on this, wandering further toward the trees with a thoughtful look on her face. She purses her lips as she looks from trunk to trunk. "Ah, here we go. Do keep your distance, Iknika."

    The tree is old, perhaps, but Eschelle isn't exactly the best judge of such things. Concerns for the plant's age are cast aside as she squares up and takes a readied stance: feet spread apart at different angles, knees bent, one leg extended slightly to assist and react to the swing when it occurs. Her shoulders set, she hefts the maul, it's curved, hooked head casting a grim shadow on the grass...

    She produces a haymaker swing, so powerful it throws one of her feet into the air (and a clod of dirt behind that). It seems almost mundane... at least before the air moves with her and space seems to contort as the hammer's head collides with the tree trunk. With a world shattering crack, louder than cannon fire, the tree's middle explodes, sending a shower of splinters in all directions. The hammer carries 'cleanly' through, though the shorn halves of the plant look like a thing ripped apart by the jaws of a mighty beast.

    With a huge, profoundly melancholy sound and a series of cracks like the snapping of bones, the tree's upper half smashes to the ground. It shudders there a moment, leaves swaying and being tugged away.

    Eschelle recovers, stands up straight, and plants the haft of her hammer against the grass. She takes a deep breath, and she feels a little sweat break out on her forehead. "Hh... there. What do you think?" She asks, looking at Iknika, appraising just as much from her appearance as she does the answer.
