#this isn't really training rather it's just an excuse for Megora to beat up Aster and frame it as 'training'

[zestyderg]

Megora does actually try to mentor Aster.

He wasn't a good mentor.

Actually, uhm...

...he was terrible.

He always was unnecessarily violent and barely showed Aster how to actually fight at all. Megora would put down and mock Aster at any given opportunity, and, for his own amusement, had other dinaurians come fight Aster too.

Aster kept pushing themself harder and harder, but they never made any progress. All they earned were several trips to sick bay and a worried Raptin.

Both Raptin and Aster did their best to cover up any wounds Aster had from Dynal. Aster was scared that Dynal would view them trying to receive combat training from another dinaurian as going behind his back, and the last thing they wanted to do was anger one of their only sources of protection from other, more outwardly hostile dinaurians.
