Sparring
Despite knowing she was getting an artificial arm at the end of the week, Svalin still wanted to improve her left-hand fighting skills. If anything, she was thorough in her fighting education. She also didn't know how well the artificial arm would work (she didn't trust technology all that much) and she wanted to be prepared just in case it didn't work as well as a natural arm.

She grabbed Vigfrior and went to find Kael.

	Svalin grunted from the pain when the foot connected and she took a few steps backward. She just needed a few seconds to shake off the pain. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He kept his body poised in a defensive pattern. He wouldn't insult her by asking if she was okay. She was Thor's daughter, it would take more than what he had done to permanently hurt her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin moved forward and took a swing at his legs. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She was learning quick, wounded legs would neutralize his speed advantage. He swung his blade down to parry the strike. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin twisted her wrist at the last second to try to get the sword around his parry. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He hadn't expected that! He tries to shift out of the way, but the blade scores a hit to his leg. He grunts from the sensation, but it wasn't bad enough to get him to stop. Still, he'd be slower for awhile. "I know I've said it before, but your ability to adapt and learn mid-battle is very impressive." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin gave him the briefest of smiles and continued to press the attack. She feigned throwing a shoulder into him and kicked at his legs instead. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	There was no logical reason to attack him high. She'd press the attack on his leg. And he's proven right when her foot strikes out. He shifts his body so her leg just barely misses before he attempts to drive the pummel of his sword into her leg. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The pommel connected with the part of her leg that was bleeding. Pain spiked and Svalin stumbled going down on one knee from the blow. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Again he has to stop himself from rushing to her aid. He was a little surprised how quickly one of the Aesir had become such an important comrade. Instead he simply asks, "Do you desire a rest?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin answered by launching herself at him, hoping to bring him down. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Okay, he filed this away as something Svalin was prone to doing. Unfortunately that meant little now as she tackled him to the ground. "I guess not," he smirked. His legs swung up to try and lock around her neck from the back. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin was now past the point of caring about learning. She brought her sword up and tried to smash him in the face with the pommel. The leg was unexpected and came around her face and jerked her back. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The blow wasn't avoidable, instead he turned to take it on a less vulnerable part of his face. It still hurt like hell though. He also attempted to lock his legs around in order to incapacitate her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin went back and his legs went around her. Struggling would be useless, so instead she kicked out with both feet. Which now happen to be near his head. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	And his vision suddenly lit up with lights as her feet connected with his face. His lip was busted open, and he was pretty sure a tooth had been dislodged. His legs end up loosening a little. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin squirmed to get free and then she rolled off to the side. As soon as she was free she started scrambling to her feet. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He moved to get up, but his vision started to blur and a dizzy spell brought him back down to one knee. Damn it! He shook his head to clear his vision, using his sword to prop himself back up. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin was on her feet and leaned on her sword. There was nothing wrong with fighting with honor. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	After a moment or two he managed to regain his bearings, vision clearing up. He spat some blood from his mouth before extending his sword out, beckoning her forward with the blade. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin raised her sword and cautiously approached him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He remains in that posture, not giving any indication as to which direction he would strike from next. He then makes as if to strike with his blade to her side, but instead hauls off to strike with his fist. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shield_maiden 2012-04-04 04:34 am UTC (link)
	She brought her sword around to block the blow and didn't see the fist. The punch landed square on her face and there was a loud crack as her nose broke and blood started flowing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
