I smirked and tied my hair back with a leather strap "Well I still stand my ground with my statement." I nodded as he threw off his tunic and I threw my cloak onto the floor, beneath was a leather tunic, more fitted for my own figured obviously tightened on the bosom. Damned things always got in the way.
But his blow caught me by surprised as I turned back around to face my opponent.

I let out a light growl as I swiftly yanked my arm out of the way quickly dancing around him. I settled my hands around the hilt of my sword and swinging it to return the favor rather to his thigh, all done with a feline's grace.

Grinning back at her I say...

"ah but the niceities of being lords and ladies must be observed"

As the last words leave my lips I shed my tunic, revealing the rippling muscle of my chest, covered in scars of previous victories.

"are you ready m'lady?"

Not waiting for a reply, I launch a lightning fast strike at her exposed arm.

My bright eyes ever so slowly scanned up his blade. Suspicious of it is all... No fear at all, although I was sure it was magic.

"Assistance?" I scoffed, chucking lightly " Dear Lord Pariah you will soon realize that despite being a woman assistance is one thing I do not require."
I smiled to him trailing behind him. The swords blade lightly resting on my shoulder.

Smiling, I walk over to where I had hung my equipment and pulled out my sword; a long, two handed sword with a sharp knife edge on the bottem of the hilt. Imbued with magic it radiates power as I walk across to the sparring ring.

Climbing the platform I pause, then turn and hold my hand out to Eli.

"Let me assist you, m'lady" I say as I smirk.

His last blow to the dummy made my smile grow with excitement.

" I do hope you know I spar with real blades, none of the wooden bound practice weapons we use." I quickly made my way to my horse that on the side I had my sword tied to. Unhooking the ties I returned with the longsword I have had ever since my return. I picked up combat quickly. Such a fine release.

I smirked, "So this is what I choose. You may choose your preference. Variety is always nice."
