Moving Meditation (Hal)
When Svalin needed to think she headed to the training room. Smashing and killing things, in a sense, helped her clear her mind. When she was fighting things she blocked everything else out and focused on the task in front of her.

	She doesn't let the pain stop her. He welcomes it. The blows hit, and for a moment, his breath catches. He grins wider, spitting blood at her to clear his breath, the bit of wince fading into the savage expression as he comes back at her, swinging the axe towards one side, trying to draw her staff into defense to launch a punch from the other hand.

	Svalin moved the staff to block the axe blow. She didn't need that biting into flesh. The punch landed on the side of her face that didn't hurt. Now the pain was equal on both sides. She wouldn't be surprised if her cheek bones were broken. Svalin stumbled and went down to the floor. She immediately rolled to prevent axe from her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Its a good thing she rolls, as the axe bites deep into the reinforced floor a moment later, the savage swing leaving his stomach open. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin found her feet and charged. The hammer swung in toward his exposed stomach. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He takes the blow, hand going to the hammer to hold it in place while he swings upward in a fierce uppercut, using his axehandle as brass knuckles, to solidify his punch. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Svalin tried to yank the hammer out of his hands, but Hal was considerably stronger than Svalin and the hammer didn't budge. Svalin's sight was impaired due to the swelling of both cheeks.

The punch connected and blood rushed to fill Svalin's mouth. It sprayed into the air and as she was lifted off of her feet from the force of the blow. She went flying backward, her hands slipping from Vigfrior.

In the future, he'll suggest she might be better suited, in such situations, using a blade instead of a hammer. Harder to grab and hold, and more advantageous against an open gut.

That's for later, right now, he's only barely recognizing her, or that this is sparring - reflected in his eyes. He's been silent til now - mostly anyway. Now, he steps on Vigfrior and swings the axe downward, with a growl.

	Svalin landed with a hard thud and tried to immediately roll out of the way, but she was too slow. The pain in her ribs made it hard to move with any quickness. The blade of the axe bit into her thigh. Svalin didn't scream or yell. Instead she growled and kicked at his face with her good leg. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	His head whips back, the kick landing across one eye - bloodied enough to be mostly without sight in it, likely to start swelling shut soon. After a few staggering steps, he hits the ground heavily, starting to push back up to his feet with another growl. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Svalin tried to climb to her feet, but her ribs made it hard to move and now her one leg was gushing blood and almost unusable. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Hal has at least a concussion. He'll have an eye swollen shut, and his nose is a bloody mess. Likewise, there's probably some broken ribs, but the worst damage was to his head. Against most foes, a sound tactical decision - Hal just doesn't need non-addled brains that much.

e swings downward viciously, bashing downward with a powerful downward swing, then another, and another. There's little sign of intelligence in his eyes, and only enough sense to not go for the head with his axe, just trying to make his foe stop moving.

Svalin barely got to her feet, though most of her weight was on one leg, and moved as quickly as her injuries allowed. She shuffled back as quickly as she could, but the axe caught her on the forearm, her real arm, and blood gushed forth. She moved back farther and came into contact with the wall.

Hal kept coming and Svalin knew he wouldn't stop.

"Yield!" she yelled. "I doth yield, brother!" she yelled as loudly as possible.

His next punch was already readied. His wits aren't fast enough to stop it - but there's a moment of dawning realization as what remains of his rattled brain processes this.

The punch cracks the wall next to her, missing by a fraction of an inch, and then the stone bear drops to his knees, lowering his head. Growls give way to what words he can manage, and those only because her identity is so ingrained as to be habit.

"My liege."

	Svalin sighed and sank to the floor. Her head swam from the loss of blood and darkness closed in around her. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Kael had been on his way to see if he could have some new features placed within the combat simulator when he came across the scene. "What fresh hell is this!?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Hal manages to catch Svalin. He was falling anyway, as exhaustion of coming out of a rage hits along with the concussion - so he mostly just lets her fall on top of him for a little softer landing. He has no other words to try and explain anything - just a grin. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh for pity's.." Kael gets on the intercom. "Doctor, we require your assistance immediately. I have two battle-wasted Aesir that I'll be bringing to you." He moves to lift the pair up and carry them to the medlab. (Reply to this)(Parent)
