After being swamped with work for a few days, Anisa finally goes over to Aaron's house to begin teaching him how to fight. She just misses him though because he slept in and started his morning run late, but Spring Meadow is there to test his yard for garden potential.

While the two does wait for Aaron's return, they look through his jewelry box and comment on an Olympian Amazon tapestry used for the bed canopy. Spring Meadow also tells Anisa about 'the blue bottle' that Lapi males drink from to help them manage stress.

Aaron finally returns, and Meadow goes to do her spell while Anisa begins instructing him on the proper stance, movements and other basic elements of defense.
