Have you ever believed in a mirage?

[Its bleeding early in the morning - the sun is but  short while away from rising. And where is Sam at this time? Training intensely! But not with his sword surprisingly - though it lies close by. Sam's on the deck of the ship - letting loose with a series of punches and kicks. What kind of style is he using? Its difficult to place - there's plenty of capoeira and judo peppered in - especially with how he's tossing around the dummies he's set up pretty darned hard. As in more than one. It seems he likes to practice on multiple targets at once.]

Mmmh... nothing like a good morning warm up...

[He rolls his neck in a relaxed manner as he flicks his sheathed sword up from the ground with his foot and snatches it out of the air as it dropped - resting it along his shoulders as he watched the sun rise. He pauses to look over at you with a raised eyebrow.]

I didn't think anyone else would bother waking up this early.

Early is the best time for training anyway. And a sword arm is like a cauldron; take it off the heat and it grows stale.

[And Sam's looking quite amused at this observation.]

Hah. Too true. And one thing I can say, I do my best to never get stale.

That reminds me I need to get to my daily exercise soon myself.

[quickdrawlatino]

Why wait? You can get started right now.

[Why... was that a veiled challenge?]

[whats_a_paladin]

How fitting, the same thought crossed my mind.

[Raynor cracks his knuckles.]

[Sam rolls his neck and assumes his stance - a few rounds of practice without a sword would do him some good.]

[Fight! But not 100% seriously, because it's supposed to be sparring and not an orchestra of broken teeth. Call Herb for that.]
