The Salle; Saturday Morning.

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

After doing her morning forms and finding herself a modest breakfast, Setsuna went to locate her bokken, having remembered that it was kept not in her room but in the salle. And, once she was down there, of course, she had to practise. There was so much space, and it was nice and quiet and perfect for a good session.

"Hyah! Hyah! Hyah!" little Setsuna swung her bokken as her as she could and tumbled around and fought all sorts of invisible enemies that were nothing when faced with her mighty blade! She was going to be the best warrior in the world one day!

His flippy and her boppy kinda made the two of 'em lean to the side. Really far to the side. Bam. Now they're on their sides.

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

As soon as Setsuna hit the ground, she sprung back to her feet and immediately struck another prepratory, defensive stanse, just like she'd practised in training.

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

John rolled into a crouch, like he'd been told, focusing on the weapon and disarming, like he'd been taught.

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

Setsuna attacked again ("Hyah!"), this time going for a sharp stab into John's stomach.

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

Again, John sidestepped and instepped into her, his right hand smacking her right hand just on the other side of the hilt as he spun into her to elbow her with... his... elbow. LIke an elbow does.

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

Setsuna caught his elbow with her left hand and, without even realizing it and a "yah!", she tapped into her demon strength to push John away.

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

John spun himself around to face her, launching a kick at her sword wrist.

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

Setsuna pulled her wrist back, twisting her body slightly to dodge the kick, and then reached across herself quickly to grab John's ankle as it passed by.

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

John drops to the ground on his shoulders, trying to capture the wee!tiny werechickchickchick with a scissor hold or at least a leg sweep.

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

Easily avoided with a hop that lead Setsuna into a flip...

...that had her slipping on the landing, her own feet failing to land solid on the floor. She plopped squarely on her butt and punched the floor. She still didn't have that move down. Woe!

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

John smiled, and laughed, but not meanly. he made a mental note to try that move later. And not suck at it like a girl would.

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

"Don't laugh at me!" said Setsuna, who took it in a mean way, anyway. "I'd like to see you try a flip like that."

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Can't yet. Need practice. Stay on the ground, it's safer."

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

"But a good warrior accesses all planes of movement!"

Especially, y'know, warriors with wings, but she wasn't supposed to let people know about that.

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"So I'm notta good warrior," he says, grinning. "Mom says I'm a fighter, and fighters win cuz that's what fighters do."

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

Drawin in a deep breath, Setsuna hopped up back to her feet, twirled her bokken, and centred herself back toward John, her stanse defensive. "Let us see," she said, "you try to win, then."

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"You want me with a bokken or barehanded?" he asked, grinning.

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

Setsuna blinked at him. "It isn't fair if we aren't evenly armed."

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"So I should go get two, then?" He grins. He got his sense of fairness from his mom. If he's lucky, it won't be a genetic trait. If the world's lucky, it wont' have to be a genetic trait.

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

"....I havne't reached dual-weilding level yet," Setsuna continued to blink, completely missing the point.

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Okay. So... you wanna fight, or you want me to win?" Gleeeeee!Grin!

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

"You logic is confusing," Setsuna decided, wondering if that was why she was mad at John. "Just grab a bokken and let us spar."

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Okies!" he said, racing to get a bokken. He finds one that fits his short frame, and swings it around, making swooshy noises. He finds the button to turn it on, and makes better swooshy noises, while breathing like an asthmatic

He concentrates, centering his chi, focussing it on the swordy in case he needed it. "ready!"

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

"I attacked first; it is your turn now."

[apocalypsesoon.livejournal.com]

"Okies. I fight to win!" he said, closing his eyes to concentrate on his chi and making it go in his sword. He opened his eyes, and charged at the wee!werechickenette with a sideways slash with a glowysword.
