Okay, here's the new status quo: Basa, Heren, Giddy, and Finn still joined the Riders but are currently indisposed. They may be somewhere at Paladeen, they may be elsewhere. Either way, they will not be involved in events unless Winn and Con return.
Azar, Callusthe, Dernis, and Aretgarlja are the only ones who went to train with Zariana. Azar and Dernis were set to duel one another. Since 22dynamite hasn't responded, I'm leaving Lucresia and Sage above Paladeen for now, still watching. This means that we currently have Zariana talking to Maicyn, Azar and Dernis getting ready to duel, and Aretgarlja, Callusthe, and Azril on the sidelines. Azar is welcome to put the duel on hold to talk to Azril, or to continue with the duel and let Azril just watch for now. Either way, I'll bring Zariana and Maicyn back in in a little bit.
LordTigress : Since Neko's out for the time being, I'm going to adjust things slightly. Dernis and Azar have begun their duel, so I'm going to need another point of interaction.
Zariana finishes talking to Maicyn*, and the girl walks over to Azril. She stands in silence, watching the combatants.
*Not Alis. In the last post, I wrote Alis when I should have written Maicyn. Maicyn may look and act like Alis in some ways, but she is not Alis. I apologize for my mistake. It will not probably won't happen again.
OoC: Gotcha. Shall I try to initiate conversation between Azril and Maicyn, or wait?

OOC: Go for it. I'd like for something to actually happen here.

OoC: On it. *salutes*
IC: While watching the combatants battle against one another on the field, Azril stands with Robin. He is acutely aware of Maicyn's presence nearby him. After casting a few nervous glances in her direction, he nervously clears his throat. "Um, hello," he ventures. "I'm Azril."

Maicyn looks at him as if just noticing him for the first time and not entirely pleased with his presence. "Maicyn. Duel?"

"Good." Maicyn draws her sword and grabs a shield off the rack. "I need to hit something."
~ What weapon does Azril select? ~
Azril selects a sword and a shield as well, figuring it probably wouldn't be fair to use a crossbow against a sword, even though that was the only weapon he knew he could use well. He follows her out.

Shield up, Maicyn lunges forward, swinging her sword at Azril's head.

Azril yelps in surprise and stumbles backward, ducking his head beneath her swinging sword.

Before her sword gets close, Maicyn turns it aside, slapping the flat of the blade into Azril's exposed ribs. "Keep your guard up and don't panic."
"Right, right. . ." he mumbles, straightening his stance. He lowers the shield so that it's covering his upper torso, although he loses the proper grip on the sword's hilt--the point dangles over the ground.

"That's better." Maicyn edges forward, extending her sword a little but drawing it back before it reaches Azril.
IC: Basa goes to his small house and Heren goes to the closest pavilion.
Winn the Great : I saw you were on, so I thought I'd tell you if you have time to come back here, just let me know what Basa and Heren want to do next and I will try to get them there.
OOC: Thanks! IC: Heren and Basa head over to watch the duels

Dernis is dueling Azar and Maicyn is dueling a young man who Heren and Basa do not recognize. Both Jiwovz siblings currently seem to have the advantage over their respective opponents. Aretgarlja and Zariana watch the duels from the sidelines.

He attempts to charge her, swinging his sword low and clumsily at her legs.
