Clarence smiled lightly as he saw both Orpheus and Atticus arriving, although he did recognize that an odd number of participants presented a unique problem. He wasn't sure they'd all be able to spar at once, but he'd figure something out. At Orpheus' question, the man paused a moment before replying, "In my... When I was on the Queen Charlotte, everything was very... tight together. I suppose that'd be a good way to put it. Anyway, I did any exercise that was required which was quite a bit of running on the deck and then various drills of all sorts. I couldn't list or repeat them all. Outside of the required practice, I also ran in my own spare time. There was quite a bit of that in the Navy. Every morning and every night I'd run on the deck as long as there was nothing else that needed tending to and the weather allowed it. It was a good way to clear my mind and pass some time. Here, it's the same way. Honestly, I'm not sure what other exercising to do in this... in this form." That much was definitely true. Clarence wasn't sure what to do in this body. He wasn't sure exactly what he should be eating or what exercises he should be doing, ideally. He just kind of dragged around some heavy rocks on occasion and made sure to run at least once or twice a day. He seemed to be staying in shape, so he supposed he wasn't doing anything wrong.
"Wonderful," The word came easily and was paired with a warm smile when Atticus expressed his own interest. He gave a light nod of appreciation at the next compliment, unable to hide his growing smile. "Thank you for thinking so. I just wanted to create something functional, though, so I'm afraid it isn't anything too impressive," he admitted. He then paused a moment, looking between the two men. "Well, unless someone else arrives, it seems we have an odd number of participants. Perhaps we could start with two and then the remaining individual could face the victor? And we can go on like that until we've gotten too tired or there aren't any techniques left to try out," he proposed. It seemed like the quickest solution without changing the nature of the spar itself. His eyes were then drawn to Orpheus and he quickly added, "Assuming you'd like to spar, of course. If not, Atticus and I could spar while you take on the obstacle course."
