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.

-Aleph

[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.]

[She doesn't charge at him right away, instead opting to switch her weapon to the opposite hand righting her grip on it.

But once she's done that, she'll watch him for a moment, before charging again and aiming to stab at his right shoulder.]

[He can knock her machete away with his sword, though he doesn't press the advantage into a counterattack. For the moment, he's just watching.]

[That makes her uneasy, but she uses the movement of him knocking her machete away to move around him slightly and aim a swing towards his back.]

[His back is the most armored place on him, though. He'll take the hit half on his side as he turns and then lashes out toward her side.]

[This is why she should realize that people do wear armor here, but she brings up her machete to block him again, since she wouldn't be able to dodge in time.]

[He kicks at her while her machete's occupied, aiming at the knee he knows is bad. Sorry April :|]

[That gets a wince and a hissed out curse, and her knee gives out a bit underneath her. However, all that seems to do is prompt her to hit her head hard against his, since she's able to reach. And she has a very hard head.]

[So she's Zayin in this icon?]

[Pretty much. And he can expect another machete hilt to the face once she's pulled back, if he doesn't dodge or block it.]

[That he can block, though he's got a killer headache now. Nothing a Diaharan won't fix.]

I guess that was a little dirty.

[She huffs at him in reply, not looking at all affected by her headbutting. Though she's just hiding the fact that she's also got a major headache.]

If I can't walk tomorrow, I blame you.

[And gonna be directing her machete at his sword arm again.]

I'll just carry you around.

[He tries to elbow her in the gut.]

[No April, don't get flustered, this is not the time-

Oh shit, backing away from that.]

Y-you don't have to do that.

[And aiming a stab at his side.]

Maybe I'd like to?

[Taking the stab as he moves to slice at her side.]

[Noooo, don't blush, don't blush- Too late.]

W-why would you like to?

[Okay, sword coming at side, clearly best plan is to move her free hand to block it. Luckily her gloves provide some protection, but yeah that hurts.]

Are we going to flirt or fight, April? I'm not good at doing both at once.

Hey, y-you started it! [Yep, she's gone red now. But while one leg might not work anymore, it doesn't mean the other doesn't, and April twists herself to aim a knee at his sword arm.]

[Ow.] Maybe we should pause to flirt better.
