Katerina had asked her question eight after he had told her to keep an eye on the two witches, so he would hear this before Vesper would speak. He turned to face Kat. "The ball seems to have a negative impact on him mentally. He asks about werewolves all the time now. He needs to learn to trust Octavius again, and I think it will be good for them to spar without actually having to hurt each other." Before Kat had her promotion to officer, he wouldn't have told her his reasoning, but now he gladly shared why he did what he did. Soldiers were just smart-mouths and didn't need to know the reasoning behind his actions. But Katerina now was more of a colleague. If she had further questions, he would answer them after announcing the third group. So he addressed Vesper Delvaux and asked her to keep an eye on the third group.
But she said no, and because if this, Aldrich didn't already go to Othello Allemeade , who would remain partnerless for just a moment longer, and instead stayed where he stood facing Vesper. He was taken aback. No? She wasn't a soldier anymore, yet she was here anyway and then she didn't want to help out with a training, even after being a former captain. He gestured to make the other soldiers get to sparring and to not stand and listen. Then he followed Vesper.
He plastered a polite and non genuine smile on his face. "It is my job, lady Delvaux, but there are more soldiers than instructors, and I'd like to keep these fights one-on-one." He didn't want to explain himself to this woman, but knew he had to respect her, even though she wasn't an active soldier anymore. "And since Othello has more experience than the other soldiers, I thought I'd keep an eye on his fight by sparring with him myself, given that I have about the same experience. And then there's no supervision for Wildbrand and Stormcrest." He held up his hands a bit, not rudely but kind of in an act of mockery, although this would be far from obvious. "If you'd still rather not help, then that's entirely your decision, but then I'm not sure what you're doing in the military hall, my lady."

- @elletta and Zarha Sliva can get to sparring with or without @katerina, depending on what she does, @berengar and Octavius Wulfbrand can continue to do so as well. Othello Allemeade I'm sorry buddy your sparring partner is still busy.
