[Sawyar]

Sawyar sat on the bench taking a moment to catch her breath. After a little sword training with Chiron she had continued on in her practice. First with a few dummies scattered around the ring, then just going against an invisible opponnet. One tends to tire at a slower rate when not fighting against a person, so she had be working for an hour she guessed. She was tired and it wasn't late enough for dinner. She sighed. I need to plan these practices better, closer to dinner. Sawyar got up an went to a dummy she hadn't destroyed. She studied it for a moment before punching it. It wasn't stuffed properly anymore and her fist hit the wooden stake in the middle. Ow, she left that one and got out a new one before attacking it with her hands and feet. I should take a martial arts class if I ever go back to the mortal world.

Charlotte wandered into the arena looking for someone to fight. Doesn't anyone here appreciate the time-honored tradition of fighting? She thought to herself. Just then she heard somebody punching at the dummies and she turned her head. Sawyar. "Hey Sawyar!" She called out. Then she clapped a hand over her mouth. "Oops." Glancing around, she saw that no one was watching them, so she smiled at Sawyar. "Forgot about the epic battle thing," she stage-whispered. "Do you want to do that now or later?"

[Sawyar]

ooc: Sorry for the super short post

Sawyar grinned when Charlotte announced herself. "It's alright, I pretty sure these dummies won't be telling anyone that we have already met. Come over, we might as well get the fight over with now, we are both ready I assume." She drew her weapons, and stood ready. "You are ready, right?"

[annabanana]

OCC: That's okay.

Charlotte glanced at the dummies and gave a snicker. "But I thought that the whole point of having the epic battle was to show everyone our first meeting?" Shrugging her shoulders, Charlotte twisted her watch and flicked open her pocket knife. The watch expanded into an expertly made shield, sturdy and light. The pocket knife grew into a sharp, wicked-looking double edged sword. "Ah, who am I to care. If someone stumbles upon us, we can make up a convincing story where we get super mad at each other. And if no one comes, then we can have another training session disguised as yet another epic battle." Charlotte smiled, half mockingly, and added in a flawless French accent, "I am ready. You are ready, no?"

[Sawyar]

Sawyar's face twitched in a smile before she settled into her stance. She didn't know exactly what Charlotte knew or how well she fought but she'd find out soon enough. After a couple seconds of waiting Sawyar attacked. She slashed at Charlotte's neck with her first sword then attacked with the second one stabbing at her stomach. Then swiped low using both swords. She brought one in an upward slice at Charlotte's chin. Bringing the other up she aimed it at Charlotte's shoulder.

Charlotte nodded and imperceptibly shifted her weight from her heels to her toes. As soon as Sawyar attacked her neck, Charlotte blocked the blow with her shield and slid it down to block the second blow at her stomach. She jumped to avoid both swords slashing at her feet and dodged the upward slice at her chin while using her shield to block the other blow. Good, Charlotte thought to herself. No wounds yet. Feinting a cut to Sawyar’s right arm, Charlotte suddenly changed direction and slashed it down towards her feet. After using her shield to push Sawyar back, Charlotte’s sword whistled down towards Sawyar’s head. Then she stabbed at Sawyar’s thigh and pushed her with the shield again, trying to put her off balance.

[Sawyar]

Sawyar brought up her sword to block the cut to her shoulder before realizing Charlotte's real aim was to attack her feet. She jumped to avoid the attack. She uses the same tactics that I do, this is going to be a interesting fight. Charlotte shoved her back and Sawyar staggered for second before catching herself. Okay, that is scary. Our fighting tactics are way to similar. Sawyar smiled at the same time because she hadn't met an opponent so similar to herself, and she was always was ready to learn how to defeat opponents with different skills. Even if it was like defeating herself. There was a metallic clang as Sawyar knocked Charlotte's sword away. She then twisted away as Charlotte stabbed a her leg and when she shoved her with the shield again she merely stepped back to hold her balance. Sawyar chopped at Charlotte's neck and brought the other sword around and stabbed at Charlotte's chest. She brought the first weapon around and slashed at her opponents thighs before flicking it up in a arc at Charlotte's shield arm. She aimed a side kick at Charlotte's stomach, expecting pain if she managed to block it.
