Amara tensed up a bit when Sokoya seemed a bit cold, but then again, Amara couldnt blame her at all. She gave a small thank you nod before she did move to sit on the wall. "I didnt mean to ask, well, probably stupid questions in your eyes. I've just never seen anyone like you all, and I dont know. The things I've heard, I should be terrified, but instead..." her voice faded as she looked down, like she was trying to think of the right wording. "I guess I'm more interested, than anything to actually see and talk to someone so different" she admitted as she looked at Sokoya. "I know humans can be greedy, I've seen it, but they've called you all such, crude names, but you arent the ones breaking into our homes just to attack us. We do that by going into your dungeons." Amara realized then she was rambling. "Sorry for going on like that. I just dont think it's fair the humans treat you so bad when they are in the wrong."

Sokoya showed the slightest bit of surprise to what Amara said about not only her, but also about the general relationship between humans and monsters and how they were both in the wrong at times. Perhaps Orion didn't make such a mistake by keeping her alive after all. She noted, only nodding to what she said before hearing footsteps approaching them. It was Orion, and he had finished preparations with the lizard men to train Amara. He walked back and noticed that Amara was sitting down on the ground, leaning against a wall. "I didn't take that long... did I?" He asked them, before shaking his head and getting back to business. "In any case everything is ready for you Amara. If you come with me I can take you to show who will be training you to hone your skills." He offered her a hand to help her up, a subconscious reaction of his, but he still remembered proper manners.

Amara shook her head when Orion asked if he had taken long. "Not at all. I'm just a little tired and wanted to rest my feet while waiting." She allowed him to help her up before she looked at Sokoya. "Thank you for not getting upset with my rambling" she said before she dusted off her dress. She looked back to Orion. She took a deep breath as she closed her eyes for a moment. "Alright" she said, ready to meet who was going to train her. Her blue eyes glanced around before she looked at Sokoya. "I'm probably going to ask a foolish question, and I am sorry, but would anyone there be mad if I looked them in the eye when she speak to me" she asked, looking at Orion as well, not knowing who would be more willing to answer her.

Orion looked at her with a quizzical face, however it was obviously hidden because of his mask. "I don't think that anyone would be offended if you looked at them in the eyes. In fact, I would think that they would be offended if you didn't look them in the eyes while you talked. Now... let's get moving. They are waiting patiently for us." Orion turned and began walking towards where the lizard men were, making sure that she was following behind him. "There will be three teachers for your skills, because I simply couldn't find just one teacher for you out of convenience." As he continued to walk, he could hear the sounds of milling lizardmen get closer, but before he would get to the center once again, he took a right and stopped in front of a large tent with a few weapons and pieces of equipment off to the side. "Before you meet your teachers, I figured it would be smart to have some armor fitted for you so that we don't have to wait as long. Ocho!" A lizardmen with a metal helmet and some heavy leather leggings walked out of the tent and bowed to Orion before eyeing Amara. "This is the one you wanted me to fit for armor?" Ocho asked him incredulously, but Orion gave him a simple nod and Ocho shrugged. "Okay then. So Amara, do you want to wear lighter or heavier armor?" He asked her, sizing her up.

Amara gave a small nod to Orion as she followed closely. "Some humans hate being looked at, even when spoken to. I dont want to upset anyone" she replied as she looked around in awe. She knew a few would be watching her closely, and she didnt blame them one bit. She was new, and she was part of a world that hated them for no reason. When Orion told her about three different teachers, she gave a small nod. "Might be a little better than just one, different methods they learned, they could use in teachings" she said. When she was spoken to by someone Orion called Ocho, she seemed a little confused. "I never really had much more than fake armor. Perhaps something lighter if you dont mind." She tried to be polite as best she could. "Would it be possible to get different armor later on as I get used to it" she asked. "If it's not too much trouble that is."

"Lighter armor?" Ocho began. "Okay then. I'll get to work on making some armor for you." He looked at her outfit, and he figured that she would want a full set of armor and nothing less. "It's going to take some time, but I'll begin working on the leather to begin crafting the armor for you. After it's finished I'll need you here to better fit it for you. Orion?" He looked at Ocho, who whispered something to him and his face changed to annoyed. "Fine, fine... just get it done." Ocho nodded and got to work, letting Orion walked over to the training ground, where a few lizard men were practicing with bows and sparring with one another, whether it be swords, sticks or fists. Three of them were standing together and talking to one another and Orion walked all the way over to them and he pointed them to their new student. They turned around and their faces were all one of shock and confusion, followed by questions of sanity and if he realized that Amara was a human, but he waved them off and told them that she would be trained. Knowing that they wouldn't be able to change his mind, at least for right now, they walked over and got a better look at her. Two females and a male consisted of her teachers, their names being Isekara, Lor-re, and Enivera, who would teach her how to fight, use her healing and her water and ice spells respectively.

Amara gave a polite nod to Ocho. "Thank you" she said before she followed Orion to what she assumed was the sparing area. Amara's eyes wondered a bit before her eyes landed on the three, who seemed shocked as to who she was. "Hello" she said with a polite nod. "I'm sorry if it threw you off that I'm, well, not like you, but I am grateful to meet you" she said. "I'm Amara" she said, slowly warming up to the dungeon more than what she had when she was first down there. Then again, when she was first down there, she was with rude company, and scared out of her mind when she was captured.

Isekara and Lor-re merely nodded to Amara when she stated her name, but Enivera still wasn't bought on the idea. She leaned over to Orion and gave him an earfull, listing off all of the reasons why they shouldn't go through with this, however Orion countered with his own set of reasons and told her that it was going to happen, so Enivera meelky obliged to his request and went through with the idea. "So Amara, you will be taught by these three in a rotating span of three days, with a break after six days... no reason to over train you, after all." He grabbed a short stick and twirled it in his hands for a few seconds before looking back at Amara. "So Amara, which teacher do you want to train with first?"

Amara looked between the three, seeing the different reactions to her. She seemed to be debating it before she finally spoke. "Her please" she said motioning to Enivera. "I saw your reaction to me, and I want to show you that it wont be so bad teaching me" she replied with a slight lowering of her head, wanting to be respectful. She glanced to Orion to see what his reaction would be to her pick. She looked back at the three teachers before she added on. "I hope you are not upset with my choice."

Enivera flinched for the briefest of moments when she called her name, but she straightened herself up and didn't protest, not only because Orion was standing right there, but Sokoya was also standing there, and as mentioned before the lizard men revered the Naga. She took in a deep breath before walking to her, eyes locked with hers. "Very well. I am not disrespected by your choice, however you must prove to the three of us that you are worthy of being spared by Orion and that he didn't choose poorly." Orion merely raised an eyebrow to this reaction but didn't say anything to that, but instead spoke up about her other two teachers. "So Enivera will be your first teacher. Let's see..." He looked at the remaining two for a moment before coming to a decision. "Isekara, you will teach her tomorrow about how to fight and Lor-re you will teach her the day after that, and then the cycle repeats itself. Understood?" The other two teachers nodded and Orion let them get back to the business they had beforehand, leaving Amara with Enivera. "If you are ready to begin come with me." She bluntly stated, walking over to a set of targets, expecting Amara to follow.
