TRAINING WHEELS
[PRIVATE]
SCARLET, JENKO, GALLOWAY
[SETTING] Noon in the sand pit on the western side of Emin Scarlet's estate just outside of Valore's city walls.
[PROMPT] The Emin has taken time from her day to join her most prized pit slaves for training. Rather than having one of her professionals or attendants see to setting up the ring, Scarlet has done so herself. Today, they will be trying out a new form of training that she has been practicing mastering.

SCARLET
"I'M A SIMPLE WOMAN LIVING A LAVISH LIFE"
"Will you need the practice pit prepared with dummies?" Clementine questioned her wide eyes belying her curiosity. This was, after all, the first time Scarlet had not requested the pit be prepared before she herself was walking down the path towards it.
"No, I'll have no need for dummies today, dear. What I do need, though, is for you to go off and fetch Galloway and Jenko." She dismissed the attendant, watching her with fond affection as she strode away to go find the two pit fighters. The practice pit was a simple thing, filled with soft dirt and sand; it was meant to be reflective of Valore's own Crucible. Designed to soak up the blood of the fights, but not be so unforgiving a terrain as to cause needless, random injuries.
She surveyed the land for a moment before focusing, pulling together an image of a pit fighter familiar to the pits and likely to both Jenko and Galloway. Ramiro's form readily wove itself from nothing, the illusion birthed forth with stunning clarity.
Scarlet grinned.
But moments later she heard hoofbeats and turned, her pretty pink eyes finding the faces of her two most cherished possession. "Jenko, Galloway," she greeted them with a smile, nodding her head over her shoulder. "We're trying a new method of practice today. While 'Ramiro' isn't a tangible opponent over there, he's reflective of someone either and both of you will one day meet in the pits, no?" She turned then and motioned again.
"You'll not be able to feel your hits land, but I'll be watching closely. Injuries will reflect on the illusion. In the case of the illusion 'landing' a hit an illusion of injury will mark itself on your own coat."
She smiled. "This method should prove to be safer practice for you both without needless sparring to chance injuring either of you. Come now, let's begin."

JENKO Jenko was prepping himself for today’s sparring session. He always enjoyed those, simply because he got to train with his best friend. Besides, he loved to entertain Lady Scarlet. However, the pit fighter feared the day he’d have to face Galloway in an actual pit fight. He prayed that it would never happen.
He heard a knock. Was the practice pit set up already? “Come in.” he said as he was strapping his bandage wraps on with his teke. “Good to see you, Clementine. What can I do for you?”
“Lady Scarlet has requested both you and Galloway’s presence at the western side of the estate for practice.”
“Very well, I’m all set.” He said whilst flashing the Eminent’s attendant his most charming grin “After you, Clementine.” He replied as he followed the mare outside. Funnily enough, there were no dummies to be seen. On the contrary, they had a visitor. Is that… Ramiro? What is he doing here? Jenko frowned at the sight of a fellow pit fighter. He knew who Ramiro was, yet he couldn’t phantom why he’d be here out of all places.
“Jenko, Galloway.”
“My Lady.” He responded automatically as he dipped his head politely, returning the smile while doing so. As the Noble explained herself, Jenko couldn’t help but grin. This was bound to be interesting and quite frankly, he couldn’t wait to get started. Ramiro’s reflection looked all too real and while he wouldn’t want to fight his best friend, he sure as Hell wouldn’t mind having the blood bay as an opponent.
“This is most impressive, My Lady. I am truly at a loss for words.” He looks so real. Jenko trotted forward to join his beloved master, barely able to contain his excitement as he eyed the other stallion's reflection. “This is beyond exciting, Lady Scarlet. Thank you very much for this.” Was all he could muster to express his gratitude, not knowing what else to say. He was thankful for everything she did for them. He was fond of her. He couldn’t deny it. He wouldn’t deny it. He could only show it in his own way.
He stepped forward once more to face Ramiro’s reflection as the Eminent told them to begin. “Of course.” He said as he nodded in understanding, not wanting to waste his master’s precious time.

Gallow honestly wished he was still in bed. It wasn't early at all, he was just not particularly in the mood to go at it. But dutifully he prepped himself. Mostly threw his mane in a sloppy bun to keep it out of his eyes. He still wasn't sure what exactly he wanted to do with his mane. But he couldn't stand to have it cut so short.
Jenko was wrapping his legs next to him, much more a ray of sunshine than Gallow. But Gallow couldn't help but feel Jenko's infectious excitement to train. And soon he could feel himself becoming giddy. It would be good to stretch his legs. A tentative knock sounded outside and Jenko invited them in. It was Clementine, her dark mane and tail billowing as always.
Galloway rolled his eyes as Jenko's charming smile snuck out. He was always looking to woo someone. Gallow couldn't help but smile. He wouldn't trade his friends for anything in the world. Not even if his own freedom was on the other end.
Gallow followed the two outside and was just as surprised as Jenko when he saw Ramiro standing quietly in the ring. Galloway wasn't a fan of many of the other fighters, especially when they were scheduled to train together. But as soon as Scarlet explained his demeanor changed.
"Well this is definitely going to be very entertaining! I have to say Lady Scarlet your skills are impressive. It still looks like Ramiro to me." He couldn't believe such a small, older mare could hold so much power. But he really shouldn't be so surprised. Scarlet was one heck of an older lady. Not someone you wanted on your bad side that was for sure.
"Shall we take turns or go together?" He directed the comment to both Scarlet and Jenko. The form of Ramiro stood proud and tall, his long unicorn tail flicking impatiently.
