Her muscles ached in such a way that she debated putting the ax down and taking a break, but that would show weakness and that was not an option. Even though they were just dummies and this wasn't the real thing, she refused to look inferior to anyone else on the training floor. With the final dummy popping up, she swung and it's head came clean off, landing on the floor with a thud. She finally put the ax down and wiped the sweat off her brow. She couldn't recall ever having to work herself that hard on the yard but the reality was, it was either train hard or be killed for lack of skill. She let out a final huff before walking over to a nearby trainer and grabbed a bottle of water she was holding. She took a long sip before capping it again and turning around to face a pair of hazel eyes that seemed to be watching her the entire time. "Can I help you with something?"
