Promised my squire I would meet him at practice last night, so he and I and his good friend Heinrich were the only ones in armor -- sir Paine and sir Villius were there watching and giving critique and filming. The night for me was about the on-side (or more to the point not setting up or fixating on the offside) and being able to bring intensity when I needed it. Also, working with Constantine to flesh out some of the stuff he has been working on.
Heinrich is a lefty, which was fortuitous because I have been wanting to practice my thrust more on traditional leftys, so Heinrich got it in the face a couple of times. Also, good for me to concentrate on attacking the lefty power with the snaps and wraps. I had some vicious shield control with constantine in one of our fights that I was super proud of as well. All in all, a good night fighting because i kept on track with what I wanted to work on.
Mentally, the night was weird though. I felt a little like I did not fit in -- which is dumb, but there you have it. I don't know if it is a me thing, or a me combined with being the only woman there thing. Part of it is that Villius likes to talk and sometimes I feel like I cannot get in a word edgewise, even with my own squire. Guess I will have to talk to him about that. ;)
