*This is a little trickier since she's going for that arm tucked in his coat. He has to pivot off his lead leg and watch her slide on by. Things are getting interesting now.*

[ninjainviolet]

[She gets a few steps beyond him before switching to a one-handed hold and spinning again, aiming for the same arm.]

[nofarplaneyet]

*Apparently she didn't have trouble shaking off the rust because Auron is having to block faster in order to not get injured. Hunh. Maybe he'll learn something here too.*

[ninjainviolet]

[No, she's still rusty. For her height, a few steps is not enough, and if she had been using her seals, she'd be the perfect distance. Instead, she's too close, and the force of her spin, plus his block, equals a jarring that goes right up her arm.]

Damn. [She shakes her sword arm as she steps back, switching the katana to the other hand.] That was stupid. I gotta get my body's reactions to match my weapon. I used cards and seals too long.

[nofarplaneyet]

Yeah, nothing like a little pain to build up some tolerance. *he chuckles*

[ninjainviolet]

Thanks a lot! [She chuckles in return, but he's right. That's one of the best teachers. Finally, she stops waving her arm and takes her katana in hand again, holding it loosely as she thinks about her next move. Time for something a little different...

Without warning, she takes off towards him, the blade still low, only coming up as she spins, it taking the place of her leg in a spin-kick inspired move aimed towards his thigh.]

[nofarplaneyet]

*That forces him to back off and almost trip. He can do a bit of sweep kicking but nothing that fast.*

[ninjainviolet]

Martel! [Seeing him falter slightly, Sheena tries to pull her swing back, and if it had been her hand or leg, she might have been able to. But the couple of feet of steel in her hand is something a bit different, pulling her arm along with its momentum. So, she literally yanks it away with the other hand, and drops it, while trying to spin back away.

Luckily, Auron's move helps her by hitting her leg just right and turning a graceful(?) move into a series of short hops as she regains her balance.]

Damn! I'm sorry, Auron. I thought I'd combine my hand-to-hand with it. Are you okay?

[nofarplaneyet]

*Auron rotates his ankles because that odd move put a bit of stress on them.*

I should be all right. Just kinda surprised me there.

[ninjainviolet]

[Watches him with narrowed eyes to make sure he isn't more hurt than he's letting on. Satisfied he isn't, she gives him an embarrassed smile.]

I guess I should have warned you. I'm sorry about that, but I really didn't think of it until I started towards you.

[nofarplaneyet]

Nothing wrong in having a more agile fighting style. That can only help you.

[ninjainviolet]

[She shakes her head.] Not if your body isn't prepared for a move like that. You can seriously hurt yourself.

But it looks like you didn't. Was there a time you didn't use a katana?

[nofarplaneyet]

They did try to train me in the use of guns and flamethrowers. Ancient machina weapons. I never took to them like I took to the sword.

[ninjainviolet]

[She's not sure what they were, but they sounded like the mana cannon they had used on her world--especially the flamethrower.

She looks at her katana then her hands before turning back to him.]

I'm not exactly sure I "took" to my usual weapon, or if it was because I was the only person who could use them.
