She nodded, mockingly she suggested "I mean unless your too tired of course? " With a small twist of her body she stood in a side-stance . If was lucky that she didn't decide to keep her Katana on her, It wouldn't have been as effective against his kusarigamas.. Hopefully it was somewhere waiting for her. It was going to be a challenge since she didn't quiet know his fighting style but the pure idea that he was duel as she was all she needed. It was most likely the BEST way to get to know someone without all the mush. She gave him a forged smirk" Be gentle with me ... " She spoke with a condescending tone.::
Drakus gave the first true smile he had held for days. Her condescension only exciting him further. He mused over their combined confidence. Perhaps the worst injury here tonight would be to someone’s ego. How he wished he had his duelling rapier on him.
The ground was soft, littered with the odd unsteady rocks which could be dangerous for unsteady footing. Closer to the pond it became muddier and slippery, a small hazard compared to the kapper filled pond itself. Otherwise those small unpleasantries aside the ground was mostly flat and completely open, perfect space for his weapon.
Still, this battle would be wrought with unpredictability. He had no idea of her powers or even what year student she was. But none of that mattered, for he had confidence in his skill. All the years of torturous training.
Cracking his neck from side to side he steadily stepped towards her.
Before they began she needed to get better footing and as probably unladylike like as it might have been.. she carefully slipped off her shoes, leaving one partially on only to suddenly project it with a swift kick into the air towards his face. She never said she was going to play fair, that just wasn't her fighting style.
Despite her best efforts of deceit and trickery, her opponent was observant. The subtle tension of her rear calf as it bore her weight gave away her intentions. Drakus admired her ruthless tactics, smiling as the shoe sailed past his head, he sank into his stance reading for the oncoming attack bound to ensue.
She sprinted forward and glided across the empty space between them, such a small agile thing. The twin blades in her hands the perfect size for her petite figure. Left blade covered high and her right blade covered low. She quickly went in for the first blow, the weapons pinned against each other.
She wanted to attack fast. She wanted throw him off guard and disable any chance he had of keeping her at bay with his heavy reach weapon. Her attack did come fast, she was truly quick and nimble, nearly enough so to achieve her goal. Nearly. But he was too was quick. Perhaps quicker than he should be.
As predicted she sought to break his advantage of range, the obvious and wisest decision.
Without flinching, he sank into his defiant stance as he pivoted, shifting his weight to meet hers.
His right hand swung up and out to parry the attack and push away her blade, using the metal links in his grasp. At the same time he flung the fundo and the rest of the chain out. It would unfurl and then wrap around his back to come crashing around towards her head in a moments time. His own hidden deceptive attack.
At the same time his Kama caught her other sword in its curve where they would wrestle her for control.
His every movement and timing was so precise and deliberate that as the heavy weight on the end of the chain went whipping around him it caught the projectile shoe mid flight and flung it around redirecting its momentum. No expenditure of his energy went wasted.
“Don’t think for a second my arrogance is not earned!” He spits the words out at her through a wicked sadistic grin.
