With Chie's new statement, Arienne's usual smile for her faltered and became a serious grin, eyes glazing over in an intense stare at some unseen opponent from the past.  

"I don't know what these games are, but it sounds like you are practiced at them and good for you.  I practice by pushing my body and mind to the limit, unifying them, making me highly tuned for combat.  In my opinion, one has not truly fought, killed, or won without putting their life on the line to face down an opponent, eyes locked in a battle of willpower and skill.  And for me, sparring is good enough practice for that."

Throughout her little speech, Arienne had been accidentally oozing out a creeping killing intent that got much stronger by the end.  Realizing this, she immediately pulled it back and with a small shake of her head, Arienne comes back to herself and gives Chie a normal smile.  
"You'll have to show me these games sometime.  They sound interesting."

"Well, I'm off to sort my quarters, and maybe grab some dinner.  I'll see you both later."  Arienne kicks off, turns around and gives an informal salute before leaving the hanger.
