I need to spar with someone.

Floor of your choice. I'll be using my sword only - I don't waste bullets on people - and my demons will only come out if there's deadly intent, which will not end well for you so I really don't recommend it.

That's fair. I can't fix my sword very easily or buy a new one.

And if I ever did break it, I can repair it anyway. So I'll see you there?

I'll be down in about an hour - I think it'll take more than one spar to work this off and I should see if anyone else replies too. But you'll be first.

Okay. I'll see you in around an hour then.

Take care.

[And in an hour, he'll be at the meadow.]

[And she'll arrive on time, hands in her coat pockets as she walks over to him.]

What happened?

Lucifer's gone from the tower. He has a grave in the graveyard floor, so it's not just temporary. And I got into a stupid argument.

[She winces slightly, expression turning sympathetic.] ... I'm sorry. And who did you argue with?

The guy who hit on you. He called him a piece of shit.

[Another wince, and now she looks... well, almost guilty.] I'm sorry... I didn't think he would be that much of a complete ass.

[She sighs and shrugs off her coat, probably making this the first time he's seen her without it, and places her hand on the hilt of the machete at her belt.] Guess it's understandable why you're pissed, then.

Not your fault. I'll be all right after I blow off some steam.

[He draws his sword.] Tell me when you're ready.

[She pulls the machete from her belt and shifts into a more battle-ready position.] Ready when you are.

Alright.

[Without further warning, he charges her, swinging his sword in a wide arc towards her right side.]

[And that machete will be coming up the block his sword, and even though it's her bad leg, it doesn't mean that she can't use it to try to aim a knee at his side.]

[He could probably break through her defense if she wasn't trying to knee him, but since she is he backs off only to stab at her side.

His sword is longer than her machete, and he'll take advantage of that.]

[She manages to twist out of the way of that, and while her reach wasn't as far as his, she could still at least reach his sword arm. Which is why she's aiming to cut at that.]

[He dodges her attack, and turns the movement into an attack towards her leg, aiming to knock her off balance.]

[While her moving back to avoid it does make her uneasy on her feet for a moment, she manages to use the momentum to shift back forward and use her right leg to aim a kick at his stomach.]

[He'll take that hit, he's armored there anyway, and try to catch her foot with one hand and push her over.]

[She 'tchs' quietly, but allows herself to be pushed over. It's easy enough to catch herself with her hand as she goes down, and it allows her to swing up her other leg in a kick aimed towards his head.]

[Well, you knocked off his visor.]

That never stays on anyway.

[She laughs quietly as she jumps back up onto her feet.]

I apologize in advance if there's any damage. I can fix it later.

[And with that, she'll charge forward to thrust the machete at his left side.]

[Again, it's blocked by his sword, and he pushes hard, trusting the strength of his weapon against hers.]

[Aleph is physically stronger than her, so her weapon weakens against his. But when she's just about to yield under his weapon, she's quick to move to the side and pull her machete up, aiming to bash the hilt against the side of his head.]

[Yeah, that hurt. He stumbles a little, but is quick to right himself and put some distance between them.

For now, he's waiting for her to come at him.]
