The Salle, Monday Morning

[bitchprince]

The lack of classes meant Arthur would be spending more time in the salle than usual (if that was even possible), and he hadn't wasted too much time getting there that morning. His arm was coming along nicely, and so he took a practice blade for his left.

Might as well get some simple drills in while he waited.

Tahiri bumped up her own reaction time just a notch, trying to see if she could get Dinah to break out of the pattern. "Let me know where and when, then, and I just might check it out. Hey! Are you going to do the big sibling program?"

"Definitely! People need help when they get here. If I hadn't had Jamie and Chad telling me stuff, I would've lost it," Dinah said, determinedly meeting her hits, and trying to figure out where she could vary her pattern. She gained a two-second window, and tried to tag Tahiri on the hand. "You too, right?"

[weetuskenraider]

"I signed up for it last time, and I'm doing it again." Just when it looked like Dinah would tag her, Tahiri twitched her hand out of the way just in time. Silly Jedi reflexes. She was in the flow of it now, though, and sped up a touch more. "Talked Firekeeper into it, too."

"Cool!" And now Dinah knew someone else who knew Blysse's real name. "We could have a little tea party for them all--" Attempted whap. "Or brownie binge." Another small lunge, not too far off though, not leaving her side uncovered. "Or! And this is what I really want to do if my Little Sib isn't scared: we take 'em rappelling down the dorm!"

"With ropes?" Tahiri thought she spotted an opening and darted in with an open-palm strike. "That's the easy way."

Which was not to say it wasn't the way she'd use. She just felt like being a pain.

Adding in that little spin she always saw Arthur do, Dinah tried to slash at Tahiri's wrist again, rolling her eyes. "And if we get someone from suburban America, who's never even rock-climbed? We can't all jump off a six story building and be okay, Helena." Dinah stuck out her tongue even as she grinned.

The look Tahiri gave her was pure pain-in-your-butt mischief, and she took the hit but countered with a kick at the ankle -- ha! -- in response. "Is that a compliment?"

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Yes. No. Sort of? Whatever it was, it was affectionate. "Maaaaybe. And ow!" Dinah laughed and swung her sword up again, trying to score on Tahiri's shoulder, having way too much fun. "She can jump off a five-story fire escape without effort. Sometimes she 'forgets' it's not that easy for the rest of us."

Tahiri grinned and brought her staff up to catch Dinah's sword in a circular bind. "You mean it's not?"

Yeah, definitely bratty today.

"Pbbbbttt." Dinah shook her head at her, then pulled her practice sword back to free it. "Just for that, you should have to float down from the roof on your own. With your new little sib on your back!"

[weetuskenraider]

"Maybe I will," Tahiri said, flipping Dinah a jaunty salute with the staff.
