-Armok rolls to the side, rising gracefully to slam his blade at Sanctus' legs. Sanctus rolls back, rising to a crouch, blade ready- I'm getting better. -
-Sanctus bares his teeth- You're getting better. -He leaps towards Armok, in another relentless assault-

-Armok ducks under the first slash, rising inches from Sanctus' face. He headbutts him, stepping back in a defensive stance. Sanctus staggers for a moment, then falls back, rubbing his head ruefully- Are you alright?
-
-Sanctus nods, chuckling- Aye, I seemed to have forgotten how hard your head was. -He rubs his own head, then takes Armok's offered hand and rises to his feet- I must see to my men, it was a good practice today.
-
-Armok nods, then walks to the railing and stares towards the distance, lost in thought once more-

Rose put her arms behind her head as she walked the perimeters of the base. She was getting her bearings here. It was nice to feel at home again. She really hated traveling sometimes.

-Armok stretches, standing on the railing on the roof. Although hiding the day away had been nice, he knew there were many responsibilities lurking. He waves at the crow, then steps off of the roof. He doesn't land quite so gracefully, but compensates by rising as if it had been intentional. He grins at a few soldiers who were chuckling at his antics, then winces and limps out of sight- That was great.

Something spiked in Rose's empathy feed. She made a face and paused in her walking to turn and look back towards the base curiously. It wasn't long till Armok limped into her line of view. She scrunched up her nose for a quick second. "Jumping off roofs I see?"

-He looks at Rose with a half grin- Well, I think I used to be better at it. -He pulls on his shirt, covering the nicks and cuts from the practice with Sanctus earlier, as well as the fading pink scars from the previous nights escapades- How have you been?

"I can confirm that. You were really a hassle to keep up with." She shrugged her shoulders at him. She let her eyes wander over the cuts and scars on him, assessing the damage silently before looking up to his face again. "I've been alright. A lot better since we moved back here." Rose shifted some before speaking again. "Yourself? Last time I saw you, you thought I was a figment of your imagination."

-He runs a hand through his growing hair sheepishly- Heh. I've figured out a few things since then... -Memories flash through his mind of the files he read on the Command UI in his office, and the picture of the two of them- We were close, once, I think? -Armok shrugs, then scratches his beard- Now, that I am out of prison... I know you. I don't know who you are, other than what your file told me, and you told me... but I know you.

"Well thats good" For the first time in the conversation, she smiled. Just a little. Rose thought for a moment over what he said and nodded her head. "Yeah, we were. I suppose we still are. Technically. You know, when you get your memories back." She moved her hands from behind her head and placed them on her hips, shifting her weight once more. "You do. And I'm sure you'll learn more about me as we go along. Or you'll start remembering things. Either or."

-He nods, thankfully- It's nice to see a friendly face, even if it is a figment of my imagination. -He grins playfully, then shrugs- I'm getting good with my sword again. Problem is, the damn thing was in some ruins somewhere, and it has an attitude problem.

Rose smiled a little more at the grin. "Though, you have to admit, I'm the coolest figment of your imagination. Ever." Mhm. Confidence, for the win. "Thats good. Especially that you're working on it." She thought over what he said and made a face. "This seems to be constant with any weapon you pick up."

-Armok looks at the sheathed blade in his hand, grateful that the eye is closed and dormant- I wouldn't know. -He chuckles, and idly tosses the blade to the wall. He blinks at the last minute, grabbing for it, but the shadow on the wall eats the blade- ... Do I do that often?
-The blade appears on its stand, in his room-

-He tosses his hands in surrender- I give up. These hands have minds of their own. I swear, I've done the craziest things lately. -He gestures to the shadows on the wall, which are reaching out like tentacles to rest on his shoulders and arms- See that? Ever since I tried to shadowstep, they do that.

She laughed at his outburst and shook her head some. She followed his gesture to the wall and smiled. "Maybe they're trying to help you?"

-He glances at once and sighs, shaking his head- Maybe. But they are kind of annoying sometimes. -The tentacle recoils, as if hurt by his remark, then returns to rest on his arm until he steps towards Rose, and away from the wall- Where were you headed? Perhaps I can be an escort.

"I would have to imagine." She bit her lower lip for a second. "Kinda like hearing what everyones thinking all the time." It was something that Rose still couldn't figure out. How to silence everyone else's thoughts. "I was just exploring. Probably going for a walk as well. You're more than welcome to come along"

I am sure you will figure out how to silence their thoughts... It took me a long time to ignore them. -He points at the shadows, then grins, trying to lighten the mood- At least I am still good at walking, eh? -Armok stretches, then cracks his neck- I'd love to join you.

Rose nodded her head. "I've got a couple centuries of practice. Still getting nowhere though." She made a face and shook her head at herself. She laughed softly. "Thats always a good thing. I don't know what we'd do with you if you couldn't walk. Or if you just kept walking into walls." She slipped her hands into her pockets. "Well then lets go." And with that, she started off into the woods.

-Armok chuckles, shaking his head as he follows her- So... not to pry, but I understand you've been wreaking inter-dimensional havoc?
