Aneisia was in the weyrbowl dressed in black pants with a brown shirt as she had her hands bowled up ready to fight the opponent infront of her. She was now fifteen and as such the weyrling training of hand to hand combat had begun. Her opponent was a older female green rider who had volunteered to teach Aneisia. While they circled one another for a moment as she went to aim a right punch at the other woman before a foot was kicked underneath her that caused her to fall backwards. When she looked up the young woman held out a hand to pull Aneisia up and she got back into position.
"Keep focused and expect the unexpected because the holdless will not go easy on you," said the other woman as she went to aim a well placed left hook at Aneisia who blocked it with her right hand. "Good," said the green rider who in turn went to land a right hook at Aneisia who blocked again yet was driven back a step. "You've got to protect yourself in any situation because as a green rider your especially vulnerable to men," said the green rider to Aneisia. She would defend herself was the only thought to play in Aneisia's head because no man would take advantage of her. "Your green will rise soon enough and you've got to be ready for anything," said the green rider as she used a left foot to knock Aneisia off her balance. She fell back down into the dust and looked up at the other rider. "Get up," said the green rider as she looked at Aneisia who pushed a few hairs out of her face and stood up again. The young woman would prove herself and then started to circle her partner again.
