She nervously smiled back and gave a bit of a slow nod. His words inspired her to do her best even more. She was almost excited to show off her moves to the team. Almost.

Kerag finished fastening the rope around his waist. He looked at Margrett from the corner of his eye, smirking.
"At least this is a little different from the usual sparing." Kerag shrugged, "I'm not worried about us Captain." He nodded over at Tallia. "I just don't want to hurt the kitten."
Gray and Tallia were speaking and seemed confident enough. The orc wasn't concerned however, he knew Margrett and him made a good team. "Let's give it our best Captain, regardless of how ludicrous the exercise may seem. I'm still trying to make a good impression after all." He popped his neck, giving a thumbs up at the Commander, indicating he was ready.
Charging with full speed thanks to Grayell's assist, she slides towards Kerag and Margrett at an equal distance and reaches for their rope. She attaches onto it and pulls down her all her strength. Given the two of them, though, she doesn't really get far with that, as it remains taut against their bodies.

Kerag's eye darts back and forth between Tallia and the Commander, finally back to the Captain as he stands his ground, turning his back to Margrett and moving to press it against hers, already anticipating the speed and acrobatics of the kitten and Gray.
Tallia's speed was impressive, but she lacked the strength to move them much. The orc laughs watching her dangle on their rope, and reaches to grab Tallia's rope, hoping to shake her and the Commander up by giving it a good tug.
Margrett smirked and flattened against Kerag, laughing at him pulling on the rope. With the rope given slack, Tallia was sitting next to them on the ground holding the slack rather than hanging on it. She braced her feet and moved to push Tallia out of the way.
Let's move, Talli, don't want you to get underfoot.
She grinned and kept her hammer up defensively, waiting for them to make a definite move.

Grayell had stopped and turned, expecting something else entirely and then saw Talia - on the ground and entirely trapped. The rope wound around Kerag... a problem he needed to remedy.
Well now, that just isn't fair. Sorry chum.
Grayell reached back and then flung a crate at Kerag and as the orc lifted his arms, Grayell yanked the rope from his grip. He rolled sideways and with a heave plucked Talia out from between them - sliding to his side but caught by his arm. One knee on the ground and crouched with his partner he looked at her and chuckled.
C'mon now, no sitting down on the job miss.
Tallia "There are some things... that we all can't escape from..."
Talia gave another one of her nervous laughs. She figured she had just screwed up, but she would only screw them up more if she failed this exercise. Revising her battle strategy, she had to approach this situation a bit differently. Without a second thought, she leaped upon a stack of crates, reaching the top within seconds. She lowered her body to the crate and spread her limbs out, stationary on all fours. Her tail was the only part of her that moved, save for her eyes and mouth as her face went from "battle ready" to "mischievous". She eyed Margrett and Kerag carefully, making sure they were within her sights.

Kerag caught the box, watching the Commander yank the rope free from him as it fell. He smirked, knowing he spared with skilled opponents. His eye looked up at Tallia on the boxes, and laughed watching her expressions. He gave her a nod, chucking the box at her without another moment's notice.
"Catch Kitten!"
He reached back, retrieving the massive axe, keeping his back pressed against Margrett.
Grayell yoiked on the rope and snatched Talia from the boxes collision course - and immediately pulled her to his side. He threw an arm about her waist and lifted her as he span toward Margrett, his rear leg shooting out to nail her in the gut.
Seeing it coming, Margrett breathed out and leaned against Kerag, shifting to the side a bit, tightening her muscles and taking the kick with a grimace and a smirk.
I can...do this all day, Commander.

Tallia "There are some things... that we all can't escape from..."
Without giving her the time to recuperate, Tallia detached herself from Grayell and charged towards Margrett, drawing her sword swiftly. She leapt into the air and came crashing down towards her, her weapon aiming for a hit.
