Hotaru and Eva walked away from the rest of the group that were going to learn to use the guns they would possibly need when they went up against Aiden. Hotaru, being too proud to use something in a fight other than her own two fist, went off with the blonde for a little training of her own.
"After this all ends," Eva started. "We gotta catch up big time."
The pale Tora nodded. "Yeah, it's been awhile. A lot of stuff's changed since the good ol' days."
The blonde shrugged. "Yeah, like you gettin' over Greg so fast..." she muttered under her breath. Hotaru instantly turned her head to her, giving her a look as if to ask, 'what did that mean?' Eva shook her head. "Nothin', let's go, we gotta find that Egil guy 'Toru mentioned. Gotta be around here somewhere..." she trailed off, trying to find the other blonde mentioned by Satoru.

Egil walked softly through the range, making his way to the front. Satoru had told him to be at the ready to drop what he was doing and help out, and fortunately he had been. Though it wasn't to say that he missed his free time, he missed it dearly, but he wouldn't ever say 'no' to Satoru.
He soon spotted a blond and a brunette pair walking to him and e quickened his pace a bit. "S'cuse m'." He said, accent unfortunately think today. "Ar' ya tw' los'?" Most weren't allowed to be around this particular area without permission. The two had seemed to wander away from the front room. "'Less ya have p'rmissi'n 'fr'm T'ru, only 'mpl'yees 're 'lowed back 'ere." His speech was clear enough, he thought, but he hoped they didn't think he was a drunk or anything...

Eva grinned. "We're here on important business, my friend." she began. "The name's Eva, and this here is my friend Hotaru." she could openly say her old leader's name in this area, no one that would leak anything out was around thankfully. "Long story short, her and her friends gotta mad man after them and she needs to learn how to fight again to protect 'erself." Hotaru gave a nod to the man before letting Eva continue.
"Anyway, it's my job to train her again, but 'Toru said that if we needed a sparring partner for her to find someone named Egil." She grinned again. "I'mma guess that that's you, right?"

Egils eyes grew a little larger as the tale (short as it was) was told. He gave a nod afterward. "Egil Mednick." He stated, deciding to give the two his full name. It was only proper for an introduction after all. "'N if ya need a g'd sparrin' par'ner I c'n cer'nly help." The Ookami tried smiling at the two women, only hoping that it didn't make him look like a murderer on a rampage.

Hotaru smiled at Egil. "Thanks, really means a lot." she told him sincerely. It was probably hard for a person to look at her and believe she was a fighter. Then again, people normally thought the same about Eva until she proved them otherwise. "Oh, um, Megumi by the way, my last name." she added in real quick. He was polite enough to share his full name, she decided she should do the same.
The last name thing didn't bother Eva, who looked at Egil after Hotaru had finished talking. "So, got a certain place we can train without any interruptions?" she asked him, starting to get serious. As calm and kick back as Eva could be, when it came to fighting, she was known for her strict and cold attitude.

The smile got a bit warmer, she reminded him a bit of Mathias on his better days. "N'ce ta meetcha Miss Megumi." He responded cheerfully before answering Eva's question. "Ther' 're a f'w sp'ts ou'side," The Swede said. "An' a couple of b'ck rooms."
He glanced at Eva's eyes for a moment, attempting to figure out how intense this training session would be. If Satoru had told them to find HIM, it probably wasn't going to be very light... or this person they were up against was his approximate height and build. Perhaps both. "I sugges' th' b'ck rooms though. They're equip'd fer th's sort o' thing."

"Alright then." the blonde Tora said with a nod. "Lead the way, we'll follow." she said, voice calm, but with a tense edge to it at the same time. Eva could already tell just how soft Hotaru had gotten just by how she was acting. It kind of irratated her a little to think that her best student(and later on LEADER) had wasted a skill that was considered gold to Eva.
Hotaru tried preparing herself, this was what she had been waiting for since the whole problem with Aiden began. This training was gonna be tough knowing her old friend and her methods, but at this point, she was prepared for anything.

Egil nodded and began walking, altering his usual pace to account for Eva's apparent impatience and irritation. He certainly hoped the brunette wasn't about to get seriously hurt during this. Then again, that generally happened for crash courses in ANYTHING, and fighting certainly wasn't going to be an exception.
The trio turned down a hall and Egil opened a door to reveal what seemed to be a well-equipped training room. The Swede smiled, this had been where Satoru and he had given Mina her lessons in self defense. Ah, the good old days. "'Ere it is." He announced.

Eva's cold compsure broke slightly as a small smirk came up at the sight of the training room. She quickly wiped it off, however. "This'll be perfect." she said, walking into the room until she was standing at about the center of it. Hotaru followed her, waiting for her instructions.
"Alright, listen." the blonde began. "I want you and Egil to spar for a minute or two first, just to see what all I need to patch up with you." Hotaru nodded in response. Eva then turned to Egil. "And listen, I can not stress this enough when I say to go all out. Don't worry about her well being, rough her up as much as you possibly can. Her real opponent won't show her any mercy if I got my information right, and it's best she prepares for that right from the start." she may have come off a tad harsh as she said all of that, but it was for Hotaru's own good that she was doing it that way.
The brunette looked over at Egil and grinned. "I'll be fine, just do what she said." she told him, only wanting the most she can get from this.

Egil sighed. "Very well." He wouldn't break anything though, that would inconvenience the training. Besides, he really didn't want to hurt Hotaru.
He looked at her for a brief moment before moving forward, fast, and grabbing her forearm and upper arm to slam the brunette into the mat on the floor as hard as he could without doing any too serious damage.

Eva took a step back before Egil had made his move. That was already one mistake Hotaru made, not expecting the hit as fast as it was.
The brunette slammed straight into the mat, almost cursing herself for not being prepared like she should have been. She jumped back to her feet as quick as possible, charging forward to ram her elbow right into his chest. He seemed like a big enough guy to handle it.

Egil grabbed her elbow and stopped the young woman in her tracks, then planted his foot in her stomach. Another followed in order to push her back. He never went for his opponent's back, it just wasn't how he did things. There just was something... not right about it. Still, Hotaru was being a bit predictable. With her size against his, she'd be better off using her speed to her advantage and evade him, tire him out with his own force and stay fresh and ready to strike when the moment was right.

Eva watched silently for a moment, catching onto the same thing as Egil. "Think before you act, dammit!" she ordered. "He's a hell of a lot bigger than you, use that speed of yours you were known for back in the day! Wear 'im out then strike!"
Hotaru nodded after being pushed back the way she had. That had been her biggest issue while fighting Aiden, now that she thought about it. She had been too concerned with trying to actually hit him than she had trying to avoid his attacks.
She stayed where she was, readying herself for the next attack that was going to be thrown at her.

Egil gave a nod to Eva to thank her for doling out the advice to her student and charged forward, swinging a fist out at Hotaru. She would probably dodge now that she was actually thinking about the fight, but that was a good thing. If she dodged, she'd get a kick from whichever leg was closer to her. Egil had been told to go all out, and while he didn't particularly LIKE it, it was for a worthy cause.

Hotaru moved her whole upper body backwards in order to dodge the fist, following a quick backflip, somewhat hoping for her feet to be close enough for a pretty hard kick up his chin as she flipped. The brunette landed perfectly on her feet, still on guard for what else he had to throw at her. Good thing about her ballet from way back, she was still pretty flexable.
