More replies of the martial kind. The guy was so level headed and calm and collected. This made it clear to Pulren that he was severely outclassed as his attack seemed ot be turned on itself and he found himself reeling and almost falling to the ground. Almost. He did have enough command over himself to stop that from happening and when the call for enough was sounded by Aoren, he only nodded. "Yeah, I yield. I have no hope of defeating you."
Turning and standing as straight as his bruised ego would allow, Pulren looked to his better and took the analysis of his fighting with a nod. It was accurate. "Well, it's been bar brawls my whole life before the Guard, man. My only serious training has come from the Guard and that is armed and armored. Some of us weren't blessed with a proper upbringing, I guess." Maybe he was doomed to shuck scales, as Uncle Pal had always told him. It made his heart sink a little. He perked up a little and wiped some water from the corner of his eye when Aoren told him that he could still have potential.
He looked down at the dirt before looking back at Aoren. "I'd really appreciate that.If I have this stuff, I need to know how to use it. I don't want to kill anyone by accident with it. I saw all those Guards drown and burn, the twisted looks on their faces." He tried to rub the images out of his eyes before blinking again and nodding to Aoren. "I'm ready to listen and learn. I'll keep quiet and do whatever you say." He would. He really didn't want to be a loser.
