He looked at her as she spoke and offered his arm. "I have seen somethings that will make you white, I have faced some nasty critters and fought battles against large amounts of enemies. I fought at Valen and against the Harvesters and ordered my own ship to stop the infection on a colony of the Mandalorians. I might not be a noble from a great house but I do know what brutality is like and that is why you can believe me when I say this. IT can get better everything can be changed and shaped to how you want it to be. That is why the mandalorians are so dangerous and why we have become this way. Our experiences harden us, our traditions define us and our ability to adapt to survive and changes makes us stronger always. Say the word and we can rain down fire upon your enemies."

 

[Countess Calum Teramo]

Doing something very out of character for the Calum she grab out with her hand when offered from the good captain. Finding herself once again holding her own thoughts to herself. Deeply in them just what Calum was thinking in her mind only took a few more minutes to speak from her lips. Knowing this wasn't a easy one to be made. For this to be made she was loosing a part of herself. After all what did Captain say this what must us harden but what we face and choice that have to be made. Speaking very quietly as if her words really wasn't be spoken from her own lips.

"Yes its time to bring rain of fire down upon those that would give harm to those I hold dear to me, ones that think that nothing will happen when messing with a sister from the clan of Williams." , finding her eyes now locked onto him as not another word was spoken from her own lips for the longest time.

'this wasn't easy to speak Captain Skirata It must be done one must be taken out to make an simple of why not to mess with mandalorain thats now part of a Clan."

"Well then we'll change course, head where we need to and kill a few people then... then we will have cake." He smiled to that and chuckled a little in his throat. It was practical and any good mandalorian worth his salt knew how to make cake. He had everything needed while he just held her putting a comforting hand. "Though there needs to always be more, your going to burn yourself out if all you keep is that fire and rage. Use it sure but keeping it and eventually you'll have nothing left but a dull ache."

 

[Countess Calum Teramo]

"Uji is that what your speaking of, right" , she has heard of her vod speaking of the cake never tasted. Coming back to what speaks of as she just look him in the eyes. "What could or couldn't come to be is on my shoulders isn't it." , she would turn inwards on this matter. After all when she thought would make a good match to take some of the responsibilities. It turn out that she smelt funny or something was a matter. Maybe she was just to plain and boring to be around. Just that she took her duty more maybe he was right that one day she would just become dull of everything. Would this be a risk she would have to take, to get done what needed to be.

"Captain this is what I was born for its in my breeding and schooled. Beside like you said I came from the clan of Wamlliam trained by them I know how to fight went called upon, beside these are the people of Sereno I care for these people like they was my own children.", , trailing off to the fact that she was holding nothing back that the fact she wasn't a young lady any more. By now her father had her she was beginning to walk with her luck with man she wasn't to hopeful.

looked at her and gave a nod. The cake was a special and good she would have to have some while he rose and stood there for a moment. "Alright then come on, we have to make sure you are fully rested and ready. We're going to be having an interesting time as it were and it isn't often I get to brush off my armor. Life on a ship has me here usually just ordering bombardment." He had a grin on his face to that while offered his arm for her to lean again if she wanted to. "You know when it comes to this ship there is very few things that give me a sewrious bother."

 

[Countess Calum Teramo]

Giving a long pause very slowly as if causious to taking his arm. Finding herself in his conferred. Letting her guard not not drop any of her guards but also not pushing anything away. After all she was a mandalrain woman one should not show any kind of break down in front of her fellow vode. After just letting there be nothing said for what seem to be some time.

"What does bother someone like you then, you seem to have been through much.", couldn't help herself but to still keep her own self to be a proper lady at the moment. "No matter how much training you gave experience is the best the good and the bad parts."

Now he was looking at her. "Many years ago I might have been phased but I have seen some things now, faced horrors born of peoples nightmares and come though. We had a choice long ago of what we wanted to do, become harder or run away and I chose to stand and become a bastion for my clan when they needed me. It is all dependent on what a person wants to do and what kind of person they are." He moved towards the door. "Lets go, that couch is only so comfortable."

 

[Countess Calum Teramo]

"If one would have told me what would have happen to me in this past here I would have laughed at them in the face. I only came to mandalore as an ambassador now look at the choice I have made. ", letting there be a long pause feeling the coferment in this. KNowing that she shouldn't be sharing such emotion to one she hadn't known for very long as they walked out.

Looking at the couch coming back to the door with her eyes that was a head of them. "I have my sweet cousin she never groomed for this kind of living she is very brittle." , as she let out a longer sight.

"Yes the couch good for me to rest, I just hope sweet dear Nephesh could get some sleep.", looking a head at where every it may lend them. "I could use a little tea maybe." [member="Shane Sisko Skirata"]

He looked at her and gave a nod of his head. Tea was always good... "Then we will have some tea, I got some good stuff imported from Atrisia one of the best places for tea in the galaxy." He led the way through the halls into the captains mess hall where there was a singl small table but a large kitchen. He wasn't one to skimp on comfort for the ship but they had insisted on a private room for him and if he wanted to senior staff. For now it just served little purpose since he preferred to be there on the bridge with his men. "Have a seat and I shall get you some tea." He went over and started the stove while heating up some water.

 

[Countess Calum Teramo]

This raised her head off its resting place to look at him in her eyes was very well pleased. "I'm presently surprised, Captain" , , as made their way to yet another of the room to see the private dinner. "This I'm some what impressed also, it seem that there much to this ship that are jewels to be discovery.", as she took a seat. Even to see where it seem that there wasn't anything else by to wait and look down at her fingers that was inlaced with in each other.

Causing her own eyes she to once in a while to come to raise upon the Captain at this moment his backside to her. If she didn't at less approate some fine form then she wasn't of the female race. That all she would do only to be caught to her looking. After which she dared her own eyes way only to be thinking did he catch her at a improper moment. It was took late as she let herself not be phase. "I take my with a little bit of milk and surge to sweeten a wee bit."

He heard her request and gave a nod as he got some sugar and milk while he was moving back with the hot water and some cups. He wasn't one to waste the good stuff and brought some out while he added the cubes to the water. Then stirring it all in while he poured some out for himself and her. Offering the sugar and the milk for her to add as she wanted. "There you go. Now you can relax have some tea and let all the stress melt away." He was grinning at that and looking at her face to stay polite while he brushed his arms off.

 

[Countess Calum Teramo]

Taking the cup in her hand finding her placing it down on the table as the milk and sugar brought to her. Finding herself pour a ittle bit and adding couple of spoon full of sugar before dropping her spoon in for sty it around a little bit. As she waited as she been trained for the Captain to enjoy the tea with her. "Yes, this will hope relax me to sleep, its just that....", her own mind trailing off.

Asking what she was going to speak on. "never mind just ..will..just nice to relax like this not having to worry will I'm still worrying and morning my looses today. But I been around you vod long enough to know one like me can't show any emotion what so every." as she took a sip from her tea finding it very pleasant. "Captain, thank you for the tea as you didn't have to go to all this trouble I fear that I'm taking time away from what every you was working on before you came across from me."

"No emotion? Is that what you think? No no no baby girl. It isn't have no emotion it is use that emotion when the moment is right. Go cold and then let it out when you need to. Never let the emotion dictate your actions or control you.... but you can have it. We still mourn our loses even though once the body is dead there is nothing there, no soul nothing special. You must focus it and make it yours." He took another sip of the tea and kept his eyes on her while he sat there. "After this I'll take you back to your room and make sure you get to sleep. Don't want you being worn out when the violence starts."

 

[Countess Calum Teramo]

Her eyes shot up to him using a sang form at her. This really didn't bother at all. It was only after a few more sips before she spoke again. "I guess your right.", as she let herself look down in the tea as if to get lost. "I never really morn anyone in my life not even my mama that I was close to closer to her then that damn mother of mind. ", even that there was a hint of bitterness. This was the reason her mother was so set against her even going out and bonding with her dear father, even now she could feel a tear slip from her own tear duct down her cheek. Figuring all this out could only bring her more tears and heartache it had been her own mother all long plotting to get her father and and her out of the Greater House of Teramo take the place as the widow that didn't happen. "I guess one fact she didn't figure in was that I would take up training became part of mandalain and be into a clan even after my mother tried to exposed or drity little secret just what clan our family had one time be in to only to start over into a House on Serreno,", shaking her hand did a bit more out of angry.

"I want this all to be deal with the sooner the better, I want what was last and buried to stay that way. Captain Shane, I wish in times like this I could truly trust but my clan sister told me to never speak of the marking of my true family from generation back even in our family history book its told to never speak out loud our true roots. Do you know what is like to have to keep to yourself no one to truly share that with or to get close to for fear that if wrong person get a hold your life is over with..what am I saying ..never mind ..I htink I'm ready to go back to my room.", as she put her tea down after sip a few more she had so much on her mind she need to be a lone didn't she.

"Well this ship is made to make things get and stay buried." He looked at her and gave a small nod of his head. She had some ideas what she wanted to do and her past didn't fully matter before she became a sister to the Willamina's. He wasn't one to pry but he stood up only to walk around and again place a hand on her shoulder for comfort. "That is where it all comes from you see, we'll take care of things if only so you can move forward in the end. First thing is first, we need to make sure you are ready for a fight." He backed up a little. "Now stand up and show me how you fight, we don't have room for children. When life gets hard or kicks you, you turn around and punch it in the throat."

 

[Countess Calum Teramo]

This pleased Calum very much so much that she had a smile upon her lips. Knowing that this was the only way to finally be gone with the past the old gone and the new born. The puzzlement in her face came through loud and clear. Not minding his hand around her shoulders but there it was in her face. "Right now you want me to...", as she let herself look at her to what she was wear or the lack of it.

"Oh, I"m can handle my own..", all in all this was the one part of her training she hadn't like very much at less the basic it was the weapons that she like the best. Giving him one of her looks if anything to maybe use all her asset to get the upper hand upon this one. Having to give credit where it was due. As she would take her hip and by twisting her right one toward him she would then take a step forward with a punch being able to put a twist on her jab at him moving her own leg now to kick out at him. After all to just kick him would be saying that he would expect that right way to do something different was to be unpredictable[member="Shane Sisko Skirata"] or at less she hope so.

Sisko moved with her, the twist and step forward brought her attention around as he pushed back. Slowly letting the old reflexes kick in for fighting while his hand stiffened to create distance as she was turning and he kicked his foot out. to meet hers. He pushed with his arm to throw her back while he fell and rolled. The punch coming to his jaw as he felt it rattle and he shot back up quickly a small tingle in his fingers for the enjoyment of it all this was the way to do it. A fight while he brought his hands up to go at her. "There we go." He clenched his fists and prepared throwing a quick punch at her then another.

 

[Countess Calum Teramo]

Not one to show her own emotions on her face or even to use her eyes to show anything of her next move. Only that didn't happen. As she felt him coming with her with a fist finding herself doing a block with her once arm but finding that he was a bit faster then she thought. Finding a stinging on her jaw line, causing her backwards a few step to get over the being sang with this one. "Didn't see that one coming so hard there for ..", when he wouldn't let up on her. Nice this was turning out to be then again she wasn't even in work out clothing just how did this get started. Not to dwell on this manner as it was after all something to be said,with this it was started now. One thing even growing up was to back down or flee. Not she would finish this right now.

Finding herself going down so his next punch missed her by inches finding her own foot going out to his knee if he wasn't going to go easy on her she wasn't going to be easy on him either. After all she need to get this out of her some how this felt good to be doing that.

He was moving with her, backing and coming forward while her hand came at his knee. A moments thought brought it up to meet her fist and connect for a block as he swung a fist down to try and make her regret it while he brought his other fist to try and strike her jaw again. This wasn't the battle circle and for honor but it was for what he felt she needed. Her strength bringing out the best fight for him while he reeled back and punched again. The pain in his knee coming to let him show his amusement. "There we go you are doing good, not a mating stick but your fist is one of your most valuable weapons."

 

[Countess Calum Teramo]

Taking a good hit to her jaw again knowing that there would a good amount of bruising going to be coming on. Not that she thought much about it as she wanted to get out as many of her own punches as she could herself. Feeling this was a way to get her mind off everything getting herself lost in fight at hand. "Mating stick, really... what would make you think of that....", as she had her own ideas of what could be happening. Going with the flow as she felt the table to her back as she kick up her legs towards his mid section.

Finding this most enjoyable much more so then having her own tea, if this didn't make her sleep go after a good hard physical workout like this. Enjoying this very much so much as felt the next what happen feel her legs being grabbed a hold of tightly. Coming to try and kick them free not worrying what was seen or not as she threw out a hard punch before feeling the back of her head hit the end of the table hard on the way down. Blinking a few times seeing everything spending but holding out to fight with all she had left with what she had free to kick or punch with.
