skills.  “I guess they haven’t finished their training yet.  Did you want to leave or wait until they finish up?”
    Lola would have preferred going back to her suite.  But it wasn ’t right to make Lizzie give up a day under the beautiful sky and fresh air.  Her friend had come all this way to help her, the least she could do was work through her uneasiness with being around others so Lizzie could enjoy herself.
    “ It’s okay.  We can sit and enjoy the view even with them here,” Lola signed. 
    Lizzie found them a place not far from the training area where they could spread a blanket and sit on the ground.  Lola laid back and closed her eyes.  She could hear so many different sounds coming from all around.  She focused her hearing on the creatures that sounded similar to monkeys making their cackling sounds.  It wasn’t until Lizzie touched her arm that the other sounds intruded and she had to put up a wall to block them out the best she could.
    “ What is it?” Lola sat up.
    “ Is that Leader LarIS fighting with Commander TylOR?”
    Lola looked in the direction that Lizzie was pointing too.  She could make out two men who were bare chested and circling one another.  One was huge, clearly Commander TylOR.  The other was shorter with red hair.  It was him .
    “ What is he doing?  He is no match for the Kiljorn Commander.”  Lola got to her feet and started moving closer and closer.  Lizzie got up to follow her. 
    LarIS kicked out at TylOR with his foot hittin g the larger man in the stomach.  TylOR stumbled back a few feet.  Then he regained his footing and swung out a large fist hitting LarIS in the jaw.  The smaller man stumbled backwards then made a leap toward the Kiljorn Commander.  The Commander threw two more punches that made it impossible for LarIS to find his footing.  He went down to the ground hard.
    ' LarIS!' Lola felt her heart stop at seeing the fearless leader fall.  He had to be okay.  He had to.  She took off running toward the training area.  Lizzie followed after not able to catch up.
    She couldn ’t yell for people to move out of her way so she shoved the men around her until she made a path through the crowd.  He was still on the ground.  The Commander was kneeling beside him laughing.
    ' LarIS!  Are you okay?'   She knelt on the other side of him looking over his body for injuries.  He had a bruise on his jaw but other than that, he looked fine.  Her eyes locked onto his and saw his surprise.
    ' I am fine except for my ego.  I underestimated my opponent.'   He sat up and looked at the crowd that had gathered, addressing them, “I’m fine.  I think I’ll call an end to the practice for today.”  He looked at the Commander and gave him a smile.  “Next time, Commander, it’ll be you on the ground.” 
    Commander TylOR laughed and helped LarIS up to his feet.  “I look forward to it, Leader LarIS.  You are a fine warrior.”  He turned and headed toward where Lizzie stood talking to AshOR.
    ' You could have been seriously hurt.  Why did you not use your powers to control his movements?'   Lola was flabbergasted at casual the men acted.
    ' Were you worried for me?' LarIS couldn’t help but smile down at her.  This was the most she had spoken to him and he was extremely pleased she was using the mind-to-mind connection.  It was a more intimate form of communication.  He maneuvered her a little bit further away so they could talk without people staring at them.  It must look odd to others to see them looking at each intently with no audible words coming out.
    She didn ’t answer his question.  ' Why didn’t you freeze him?'
    He sighed.  ' I don’t like to do that to people.  It makes them distrustful of me .' 
    She turned to look toward the forest.  He was speaking about her specifically.  She distrusted him after what he had done to ke ep her from killing herself.  He interfered and she still resented him a little for that.
