Kaylin shrugged and stretched out a bit before settling on something she could practice alone. It wasn't ideal, but it was the best she had.
She made sure that she had a large clear area ahead and to the side, places where no one else would cross in front of her suddenly. She pinned up two targets off to the side, then went back to the start of the training mat, her back to the door.
Another look to be sure that no one was going to get in the way of her throws, she hefted her throwing daggers, then threw them ahead, different amounts, not as one would throw a dagger typically, but tossing them. One landed blade facing her, another blade angled to the side.
She grinned. Not as much fun as having had a real reason to throw them properly but....
A fast mental calculation as she looked at where they both lay, then she took a running start.
As she got close to the first, she threw herself forward into a tumble roll that had her moving forward, low, presenting as small a target as possible, until her hand slide carefully over the blade and grasped the handle on the far side. She rolled to a crouch, threw the dagger to the side and continued her forward motion without loosing speed.
She rolled to her feet and kept moving, running past the other knife without touching it with her feet, and then without warning bending all the way backwards until one hand hit mat, and the other... rested on the hilt.
She brought her legs up, kicking as she went against an invisible foe. It started as a slow motion, that picked up speed as soon as she could no longer effectively kick, and as soon as she had her feet on the mat again, she spun, throwing the dagger.
She looked at her work and swore. The first knife was firmly in the center of the target. The second was firmly in as well, but high of center somewhat. She crossed her arms and kept swearing, jumping from language to language.
Too much time fighting shadows and one offs. She needed to hit a lower target when she aimed for it, ***** it.
That would be when she looked around again, in hopes of finding a new challenger to spar against. Yuna, maybe? Or Tasha....?
