Andy was embarrassed. She hadn't even done a good show of the skills she had gained over the last year. Instead she looked like a fool. She reset her stance and took a moment to center herself. Andy nodded and moved again. This time she did better. At least the sword didn't fall out of her hand for no reason other than clumsiness. 

She swung at Kristin and the attack was blocked. Andy used the moment of concentration Kristin had on focusing blocking to sweep around and knock her knees out from under her. Kristin fell to the ground and Any stepped back. She felt better now, though still not totally satisfied. 

Andy waited for Kristin to stand back up and then went back into a ready stance. This time allowing Kristin to move first.

When the fighting had broken out Niah considered letting it play out. Nancy obviously needed to get some frustrations out. She shouldn't have used that word, but Niah wasn't going to be the one to say that when Zeke did. But the fight ramped up. It was moving on from school yard fight into powers. That was dangerous. 

Niah took a long soothing breath and let the calmness of it sweep over the others. The anger starting to dissipate. Normally she wouldn't have used that on Nancy. Niah knew Nancy hated it. She hated doing it. But the heat that was radiating from one of her two best friends in the whole world was too hot. Things had gotten too out of hand. 

[color=0080ff]"This is not the appropriate way to vent frustrations. We have a task to do right now. I am sorry that you don't approve of it Demetri. You, however, are not Roman and do not have a say in this. Just as if you were involved in judgement of a Greek we would not be welcome. Nancy, I am sorry."[/color] She did not add qualifiers to her apology to Nancy. There was too much that needed apologizing for.
