Aurea nods understandingly at Sienna before moving over to one of the punching bags that decorated the sparring deck. She started laying into the equipment with multiple rapid punches, shaking the bag down to the equipment base as she responded.

"I can defintely understand that. With so many strong martial artists out there making a name for yourself is a big step. Though I think the fight will always be the most important thing for me. The rush, the competition to see who is the better fighter. If you win, you've had the fight of your life and you move forward learning from it. If you lose it means even more intense training, finding your limits and how far you can go. It's all about pushing past the wall to that next level. That's why I'm here."

Nora looked over at the huffing Brandie after their little gaming excursion. She seemed a bit surprised at Brandie being out of energy so soon. When he asked how she was still going Nora smiled as she was all to happy to explain.

"Oh that's probably because I had, like, three stacks of pancakes this morning and they were drenched in syrup. They weren't as good as Ren's but they were really good. Then again Ren did always say that I was energetic. So maybe it wasn't the pancakes. Or were they waffles? No, no they were pancakes. Still you can sit down if you want. It's not like the boat's going anywhere. Well it is going somewhere but you know what I mean."

The black haired young woman looked nonplussed by Argent's lack of a shirt. Staring him the in eye she nodded and proceeded to introduce herself.

"Of course, my name is Blake Belladonna. I'm acting as a temporary hire-on for the ship while we're in transit. It's a quiet and peaceful enough job. It really just something to keep busy until the tournament. Well, if you don't want me to call you sir I believe I will need a name as well."
