((lol Having a little trouble there, Estrik?))
Blinking a few times to wipe the shock away, Rei quickly shook her head and closed her eyes. "Sorry..." she mumbled, much like a student would when they realized they've done something that was not wanted. The process of sweeping all the unwanted thoughts back out the door began. Ignoring her own pain was something Rei did quite often... it's just never been self-inflicted before.

((Estrik: No...>> <<))
Estrik returned to a serene state of mind and the pain subsided for now. He continued to suck on his tongue while applying pressure with the roof of his mouth to stop the bleeding. The mind registers the most severe and recent pain, so the hand was the one that had been hurting the most, seeing as it fit into column A and B. "It's important to understand that just as this cave, pain may not exist at all. Pain might just be an illusion," Estrik said, deliberately making it harder for Rei to concentrate. That was the next phase of the training, of course.

Sighing heavily, very bothered by her lack of mental capacity that day, Rei placed her fingers on her temples and lay back on the cold ground. The movement and new position irritated her broken bones and caused her spine to pop in several places. She winced just enough to notice, but her overall appearance remained calm. '...' Hm, ellipses among thoughts, eh? Must be a good sign. She had the slightest wish for Estrik to stop talking, but she also knew that he wouldn't be making something like this more difficult unless he had a reason to do so. 'It's just an illusion...' Rei took on the appearance of sleeping... well, she had been tired... it may be best to check...

"Wow, you've reached such a serene state that you can literally do it in your sleep, eh?" Estrik said as he sensed Rei's thoughts spike down as in a sleeping person's. He grabbed his staff and walked over, before beating Rei in the stomach with the butt of the staff. "So, are you still in pain or are you just not trying? Or is it something entirely different?" asked Estrik. Was this the next phase of training? Probably not. Estrik was just doing it for shits and giggles as they say.

((*points at Estrik darkly* eeeeeeviiiiiil.......)) The sleeping Rei- well, really only half asleep- was too deep in concentration to feel Estrik approaching. When the butt-end of the staff connected with her stomach, Rei's hand shot out and grabbed it, holding it in place above her. It was odd; when she was hit, the Mark seemed to flare dully with a golden light before fading to black again. The girl's eyes had remained closed, but now she opened them slowly, like someone just waking up. "Well... either you hit like you're just a flab of flesh or... that didn't really hurt." Of course, Rei still felt it, and yeah, it still left a sore mark, but she didn't feel the need to gasp for air or hold her stomach. ((Rei's magicks always seem to come in handy ))

((Estrik: /Necessary/ Evils, )) "You're getting there," Estrik said, smirking. He seemed to smirk a lot lately, maybe it was just the lack of synonyms that one knew, but that's just thinking out loud. Or on a computer screen. So, she's getting the hang of it so soon. Showoff, Estrik thought to himself, inserting a little mental joke. ((Sorry, shortness))

Grinning slightly, Rei released her end of the staff and sat up and leaned back on her hands. "So, is there more to it or are you just going to keep hitting me?" For once in several, very long days, Rei's eyes seemed to have some of their life back. Of course, she still didn't even want to think about what Estrik planned to do about Damon, but it felt good to be... calm after so long.

"A little bit from Column A and a little bit from Column B," Estrik said, using his arms to represent the 'columns' with one going up as said column was mentioned. "So, I'm going to assume that you've pretty much gotten the hang of ignoring yourself?" Estrik asked inquisitively. He lay down again as he whistled a tune. The recumbent Estrik said only these words, "Then fight me." Estrik wasn't going to hurt her badly, or kill her. More so rough her up a bit to get her to feel the serene emotion during the thick of battle, where it counts the most. And the only way to practice battling is to battle, after all.

Rei looked at Estrik as though he just tried to be funny and she didn't get the joke. "Wait... you're... serious?" This time was different then the last time they 'fought'; that had been in the battle square with safety measures being taken. She knew the seal had just been renewed and all but... could she ever really be sure? "Alright..." Didn't Estrik say she had to get rid of her fear? Moving into a crouch, Rei morphed into her one and only form. You know how it goes; tail, wings, red eyes, claws, inverted hind legs and talons.
The rat-like tail weaved slowly back and forth before her as her wings remained partially unfolded; there was still a rather still scar on the webbing of one of them from her second encounter with Damon.((*coughimpaledwithrailingpostcough*)) Rei's claws and talons made light 'clicks' against the hard ground as she flexed. 'I'll keep it easy...' she thought to herself. Pushing gently from the ground, Rei glided low to the ground toward Estrik and held out one clawed hand; if he moved, good, if not, a few scratches would heal soon enough.

As if he knew what was going to happen (well actually he did, he had foreseen the attack) Estrik hopped right up after the transformation was complete. A blue light seemed to illuminate his head and his hand, although Estrik failed to see it, or even know about it. The right hand seemed to punch at the air before Rei came along, sending a telekinetic wave towards Rei at the very same altitude that his punch had been, as if he were actually making contact with her face. "Feel that one?" Estrik said as he began to get into an almost dancing stance, side-stepping Rei before she could have made contact. His hands assumed fighting stances as he awaited another assault.

Eyes narrowing, Rei's arms immediately brought themselves up to guard her face and head against the telekinesis. 'Illusion...' When it passed her, she felt the force of it and the Mark flared again-unknowingly to Rei- but the pain wasn't all present. 'Wow... it worked...? Hey-!' Her thoughts were cut off when she realized Estrik had moved and she was still heading for the wall. Gasping quietly, the airborne girl reflexively folded her wings and spun in the air to come skidding to the ground on her back.
Hissing through her teeth and curling on her side to baby her ribs, Rei covered herself pathetically with one of her wings. Maybe Estrik wouldn't notice that that actually hurt quite a bit. She could feel blood drip slowly down her back from her spine after scraping along the ground, but that hardly registered on her Pain-O-Meter. For the sake of doing something, Rei reached along the ground, felt a small stalagmite, broke it from the floor, and threw it like a knife toward Estrik.

Around Estrik now was an almost non-existent barrier of telepathy, it kept using energy, but it was worth it. For example, if it wasn't up, Estrik would have been impaled via stalagmite. Estrik side-stepped a little cockily, and thus didn't completely dodged it. The sharp point of then end cut through his shirt and into his flesh, leaving a long, yet thin, cut along his right arm. Estrik recentered mentally to mostly ignore the pain, although some feeling was still present. After all, he had to do three things now with that nifty mind, keep up the senses, fight Rei, and now keep his mind cleared. Who ever said it would be easy?
An illuminating blue light surrounded his leg as he kicked upwards into the air, sending a snap kick into the dead center of Rei's stomach. He felt her pain, but sadly, if he were to go too easy on her then the lesson would have no practical purpose. Estrik was just training her to take a beating, not win the battle. That would be at another day, another time, and another place as it goes.

The kinetic kick sent Rei skidding once more until coming to a rather violent stop against the cavern wall. She groaned and closed her eyes. 'It may not even exist... just like this cave...' After a moment, the pain in her stomach and back went away- another golden flare- but the pain in her ribs did not. Broken bones, what're you going to do? Alright, so Estrik just may have been taking this more serious than Rei was, but she could fix that. In another instant, Rei was sprinting toward Estrik, her talons leaving shallow gashes in the ground. Once close enough, she folded her wings and seemed to pounce toward her 'opponent' claws outstretched and ready.

Estrik raised small barriers of psychic energy around his arms as they came up to block the swiping claws. They mostly blunted the attack, but the sheer force of it still hurt, as if he was being attacked with a pipe. When he finally couldn't take anymore of it, a stalactite broke off and whizzed toward Rei, the almost-sharp point ready to impale any fleshy thing that came into its path. The invisible mist that acted as a second sensory way dissipated, although Estrik could still 'sense' the stalactite as his psychic energies wrapped around it. Little random thoughts escaped from his mind as he tapped deeper into his energy to do more multitasking. Sacrifices had to be made, of course.

Rei heard the fwoosh the stalactite made as it came whizzing her way and managed to dodge any major injury. Her hand placed itself on her shoulder and came back before her eyes with some pretty red on it. If the blood wasn't right here in front of her, she wouldn't have known the almost-pointy rock formation had made a minor gash in her shoulder. Blinking a couple times, Rei brought her attention back to the 'battle'. Dropping quickly, Rei's leg made a sweeping motion under Estrik, and then the other pivoted and came back the other way to kick him... preferably across the cavern.
