Character Name: Vastra
Character Fandom: Doctor Who

[Vastra hasn't been around Luceti very long, but she's been around long enough to know that this "draft" is something that's most likely right up her alley. Despite the fact that some of those being forced to go are mere children, and mammals who wouldn't last three minutes against their foe (whatever it is--Vastra is mostly certain that whatever it is, she can handle it).]

[Which meant that she couldn't rely on someone to watch her back. Jenny wasn't with her, nor was the Doctor or any of his friends. It had been some time since she had been so very on her own, but though she misses Jenny very much, she is ready. Mentally, at the very least.]

[Slowly, Vastra unsheathes one of her swords, and begins moving, very deliberately, through an advanced kendo kata. Her eyes closed and breathing steadily, she moves through the space of the forest clearing with absolute certainty. The movements are second nature, but it isn't in her nature to be cocky or shirk practice the eve before battle.]

[Maybe the best part about the wings was that if she flapped them just right, she could almost imagine herself running faster. And that was absolutely brilliant.

Sure, Jenny was trapped here. But there was more than enough space to run and certainly loads of people to help. Battles to fight, monsters to defeat. Overall, not such a bad place for a soldier.

When she stumbles across Vastra in the forest, she slows in her run to watch. The movements are clearly those of a trained warrior. Really brilliant to watch, if you ask her.

As soon as there's a pause in the kata, Jenny claps.] Oh, brilliant!

[Bucky has spent most of the day running drills for the draft himself, so he's only out in the forest trying to unwind in a way that doesn't involve a lot of alcohol. Luceti can be peaceful most of the time, at least inside the barrier, and for a city kid he's come to like working in the forest.

When he comes to the clearing he stops, just at the edge of the treeline. He's been around long enough that he's seen a lot of pretty weird things. A lizard lady with a sword wasn't one of those things until today, but it isn't as crazy as it might have been a while before.

He leans against a nearby tree to watch as she moves through stances. He doesn't know the first thing about swords, but it doesn't take a lot to pick out skill and precision in the movement. It's really something else. When she comes to a stop, he nods a greeting.] 'Afternoon, ma'am. [His gaze flicks to the sword before he meets her eyes again.] You shipping out with us later or just trying to keep sharp?
