Caius took Alexia all around the Von Helsing Estate, and eventually they ended up at the large doors of the Arena. It didn't seem at all fitting to have a Von Helsing visiting and not show them the part of the Estate used for private training and sparring.
"Large," Alexia said as she stepped onto the concrete stage and turned around to take a gander at every part of the room.
"Larger than the ones you have back home?" Caius asked with a little smile but he already knew the answer.
"Definitely not," Alexia said, "But it will do."
With that, she grabbed the handle of her sword and pulled it out of its scabbard. Its curved blade gleaming.
"Draw your weapon, Cousin," Alexia said.
Caius's brows furrowed.
"You just got here."
"Think I'm tired?" Alexia asked with a smirk.
"Will be understandable," Caius said.
"And you're sweet to care," Alexia said, "But it's fine. I'd like to know just how capable you are. Draw your weapon."
