Winter 30th 513 AV, 13th Bell
Location: Wave Guard Head Quarters; The Training Ground

Though small and unassuming the grounds held their purpose well in Ricky's opinion, with the rising sun cloaked by the clouds that cloaked Mathew's Bay high in it's venture Ricky could only imagine what Syna thought about the harsh Winter here in Zeltiva. The air felt cold to the skin and surely the breeze just waited for the chance to pick up and soak the frigid tempature into the bone. One could very well suffer Bonesnapper if they weren't carefully protected from this weather, but that's one of the few things that made a real Zeltivan such a hardy intellectual. Ricky considered himself no different as well. He actually prided in himself that such a city was his home, even if troubling times lied at the heart of such a glorious bastion. Now that he'd taken to heart the idea of training and planned himself a schedule to fit in with his work, he could no doubt be fit and ready to protect the home he worked so hard to keep safe.

Yet today wasn't the day he would train himself, rather than train another who was meant to arrive. It was under his orders for the day, instead of a patrol route he was to train a new addition to their numbers. It felt strange in a way considering he deferred to patrol routes and keeping Zeltiva secure and safe, but that part of his life had only come to pass now... he had much more serious obligations to worry on. Obligations being a literal part of the Wave Guard rather than just a man of the Guard, and to that of his family as well since he had a wife and son that waited for him at home. "Ain't got t' take all that 'eavy ass weight no more, instead me burdens can be beared wit' the Guard as well as me family." A lesson learned well after his encounter with the pirates during the summer, his near death experience only made him realize just how precious, and valuable, his friends and family were in moments of dire need.

Thus Ricky stood adorned in the azure uniform that every Wave Guard dressed in, however the silver emblem worn over his heart proved a symbol of his rank as he waited. Arms crossed and back against the wall Ricky kicked back with one foot propped on the wall while the other propped him up, and the old fisherman waited for the guardsmen he was to train with great patience. After all he felt honored to be given todays job, teaching the next generation how to follow in the footsteps of a Wave Guard... that definitely proved to make a difference in this wonderful place he called home.

voss didn't really understand why he was the only one not training with the group today. Sure Eric had said something along the lines of breaking in another older waveguard in the art of teaching,but why was he the one that got picked and not that bloody snob idrian? He would have loved one on one training. He actually liked eric and the others of the group. Always something funny going around when training. Still no sense in sulking about it. Eric had said that experiencing multiple teachers was good for you. New perspective and all that.

Voss arrived at the training ground, smile on his face, wearing a sturdy and warm coat most of the zeltivian sailors wore on cold days and a bright red bandanna kept his head and ears warm. Though the fact he barely reached five foot and two inches didn't really make him look like a sailor. He wouldn't be cold today that was for sure. He waved towards the single man standing at the training ground, wearing the uniform of the guard.
“You Ricky? I'm voss, Eric told to meet you here.” The youth greeted with a broad smile on his face. “Nice meeting ya by the way. So I guess you're my teacher for the time being.” He offered the older man a hand.

Be it the strange feeling something would occur today or his head felt a sense of paranoia, Ricky counted the odds of which would be likely since he still dealt with his... occurances. Natalie hasn't seem to act up and show her self to him as often as he feared, but the idea this "ghost" of the past would do so still started to worry the fisherman. However with the sudden sound of another's voice to snap him back into reality, his eyes fell down upon a man somewhat shorter than him. Red bandana, proper jacket to keep out the warm, and a face that proven young were all present. This no doubt was the recruit he was to train today. Ricky had yet to meet this Eric the youth had spoken of, but then again the chances of the two to actually were likely to come sooner or later. "Aye, I'm Ricky alright." He took the hand and gave a firm proper shake to their greeting, a impressionative nod also spared as he crossed his arms and gave thought to the boys age.

"S'good t' make yer acquaintance lad, but 'ow long 'ave ya been workin' 'ere in de Wave Guard?" Voss definitely had the frame that provided the requirement a guard should have, but whether he had any real experience is what the question truly was. Several of the other guards may have referred Ricky as a "veteran" because of how long he's managed to serve, given live, as one, but in comparison he saw himself as just a simple and seasoned Wave Guard just as every other man did... well most. Thus today was all about teaching the next generation something new, something to help them survive when danger posed a threat to their life. Whether it would be out in the field dealing with smugglings, or in Ricky's case, dealing with vengeful pirates after seeing their operation stopped.

"Also what weapons d' ya prefer t' use lad? How experienced 're ya with t'em and hand t' hand combat?" This wasn't some test or initiation given by the older man but merely questions that would help Ricky determine where to begin, since he had little experience in actually training others he wanted to make an impression that would last. Thus the fisherman held a friendly yet patient smile as he waited to hear what answers Voss would give, and then from there figure out where to go in giving lessons to the young man.
