Vladimir arose from his seat and began making his way to his room. "No, that will be all for today. Get some sleep, tomorrow is going to be a long day..." He would go into his room and look into the mirror, Dmitri once again spoke to him. "Forget about her Vladimir, she only holds you back." How could he forget about a woman that he attempted to kill multiple times and forgave him for it? Perhaps the meeting the following day would take her off his mind. He slept soundly that night, surprisingly.
He awoke rather peacefully, rising from his bed he prepared himself for the journey to the institute. When he was prepared, he walked out to the main room and awaited his apprentice, his coach was already ready for him outside.
Carmilla had practiced more that night.. still, she had not gotten a complete grasp on moving her blood, and it only furthered her head ace. She slept well, but when morning arose, so did her head pain. She slipped out of bed, dressed herself, and walked into the main room to see her master waiting for her. She gave a small bow before silently walking over and standing next to him
Carmilla looked up at her master "Master, I assume we leave now?" She asked, blinking.

He simply nodded as he opened the double doors of his temple to the awaiting carriage. Vlad opened the door and allowed for Carmilla to enter first. After she made herself comfy, he entered. When the door closed the horse started galloping for the institute of war. They would be gone most if not all of the day, the doors of the temple locking as they left.
Kura had been traveling a few days to even locate Vladimir's place of residence, and once she realized that it was the stone temple she made her way there. Of course, passing the bodies caught her off guard as she tried everything to wake them from their eternal slumber but to no avail. But eventually she made it to the temple and knocked on the large doors. She waited for a few seconds, then minutes, then hours, as it then began to rain. Finally realizing that Vladimir was not there, she let out a disheartened sigh.
The few hours she had patiently been waiting for him were in vain as alas it was time for her to return home. No one was home, she sensed no presence, so there was no need for her to stay. In the rain, she turned from the temple and began to walk back towards the path from which she came, wandering back down the road, alone. It almost made her cringe for it had been along time since she traveled alone. Granted, she came here alone, but to be met by emptiness seemed foreboding to her. She didn't like it. Shaking her head, she had been simply keeping wishful thoughts of 'maybes' and 'what if's'. Looking back at the temple rather sadly she shook her head and made her way back to her home, alone.

The sound of horses clopping against the cobble road could be heard as Vladimir's personal coach returned to his temple. He would step out of his and offer his hand to his apprentice. After they both disembarked, they would make their way inside. Vladimir was displeased that his time was wasted at the meeting, his presence unnecessary. He was determined now to make up for lost time, time he could have spent training Carmilla, or sharpening his own skills. He pointed a hand out to her as he spoke. "We shall continue your training today, go and prepare yourself and meet me back here. Training will not end until you are able to extract blood from your body and manipulate it outside of it."
Carmilla sat in silence the whole way through, not much went through the young girls thoughts. When the carriage finally stopped, Carmilla looked toward her new home, waiting for her master to step out before she did. When Vlad offered his hand, she took it and stepped down, looking up at him as he spoke.
"Yes master." She replied before she walked into the temple. After she finished getting ready, she walked back to where her master was and simply nodded her head "I am ready."

When she returned he would have her sit in the usual spot. He stood in front of her and instructed her to do as she did before they had left the previous day. "Control the flow of your blood as you tried before. When you have finished that, you will attempt to control mine, after that you will extract blood from your body and manipulate it in the open air."
Carmilla simply nodded in response and knelt down on her knees, closing her eyes and beginning to feel the flow of her blood.. having it come much more easily to her due to practice, it did not take her long at all to begin shifting it throughout her body. "I have grasped my own blood." Carmilla said bluntly, not opening her eyes

A smile would be found on Vladimir's face as his apprentice announced her success. He put his hand onto her's as gently as possible, trying not to break her concentration. "Good, now control my blood. Move it from my hand to my elbow."
Carmilla focused half on herself, and half on her Master.. slowly, the blood moved from his hand, to his elbow.. just as he asked before the girl let it all flow back to it's rightful place.

Vladimir suddenly felt as the blood in his hand retreated back to his elbow. He retracted his hand from here, allowing for his blood to flow back to normal. "Great work, you're a fast learner, Carmilla. Now lets see if you can perform some of the more difficult techniques."
His palm opened as blood seemed to seep from his clothes, a ball of crimson now floating above it, circling around within itself. "This will be the last lesson of the day, if you complete it today..."
Carmilla blinked as she watched her master.. Carmilla then held out her hand and focused.. hard.. her blood flowed irregularly from her veins.. her head began to throb as blood then began to flow from her nose. Still, she tried to focus.. slowly blood began to from just above her head before she collapsed onto the floor, nearly passed out.

Vladimir sighed before trying to assist his now exhausted apprentice. Perhaps he had too high of hopes for her so early on. "Rise up, Carmilla. We are done for the day."
His tone was not one of disappointment, but sounded very similar to it. After making sure she was alright, he stood and turned his back to her. "Don't expect any less intense training tomorrow, I expect for you to be able to preform the techniques perfectly by the second. Do you understand?"
Carmilla pushed herself up.. wiping the blood from her nose, which seeped into her skin. Her head throbbed.. but she ignored it. "Yes.. master." She replied, looking at her hand with her crimson red eyes. Carmilla then simply walked into her room, and retired for the night.

Vladimir continued to train Carmilla day in and day out, only leaving his temple for the Butchering. His apprentice's actions at the event did not go unnoticed by her master. She was congratulated for her performance in the arena, then swiftly punished for her actions in the booth. He did not stay mad at her, not for long, but he did have a lasting disappointment. Early in the day, Vladimir would leave his temple, returning a few hours later, after attending a meeting in Noxus. He called out to Carmilla as he entered, assuming she was awake by now.
"Carmilla! It seems I must interrupt your training once again, I've been asked to go on a little voyage, Swain's orders. I will return in a week or so. In the meantime however, I will be leaving you in the care of Dark-Hold manner's finest until i return, we leave for the castle tonight."
He neglected to mention that while at the castle she would work as a maid and hopefully be taught that of which he did not wish to teach her himself.
