Ishid hissed when Scarlet pressed a clean dry cloth to his bloodied brow. Her eyes narrowed, her lips thinning in disbelief. They are currently in her room, occupying the sofa set, an opened first aid box beside her.

Ishid won Eireen's test, but not without injuries. Scarlet watched the whole thing unfold and saw them talking to each other but she couldn't hear what they were talking about. Ishid's performance was good, making Eireen take a couple of steps back just to evade his attacks. But Eireen was no slouch either. She fought with grace and speed and every time Scarlet thought she was about to step out of the circle, she would prove him wrong by doing this impressive maneuvers that looked like she was playing with Ishid and that she had control of their fight.
