Vera is still on the ground and looks exhausted.
"Get up", says Anne.
"Do you think I could have some water or something?", responds Vera.
Anne sighs, "After we finish this sparring practice, sure."
"Exactly how long is this sparring practice going to take…I feel like we have been doing it all morning.", says Vera.
Anne narrows her eyes, "You want to be a mercenary right?"
Vera nods, "Of course…I just feel like my body can't handle much more of this…"
Anne looks stone faced, "You can. Now get up."
Vera starts getting up. Her progress is rather slow. Anne kicks her.
"Hey…I'm trying ok…no need to hit me while I'm down.", complains Vera.
