Sparring (Open)
Who: Adrienne, Samuel, and OPEN!
What: Adrienne and Sam are sparing when some potentially interesting happens
Where: Swords Kingdom, palace training grounds
When: Tuesday afternoon

Adrienne spun on her heel, bringing her sword around. Metal met metal in a loud crash, her hand shook a little at the reverberation but that was barely anything. She jumped back and brought her sword around again and held it pointed at her opponent, challenging him to swing again.

Samuel had to admit she was becoming quite the challenger. They had practically grown up together but Adi was always just a little bit smaller, a little bit younger, a little bit slower. Her age was starting to show less as they got older though, she had learned to use her size as a weapon. No one expected such a sweet looking girl to wield a sword with such power. He stuck out again, giving her a slightly more challenging swipe with his own sword. "You're getting quite good little one," Samuel grinned as she deflected the blow with a lithe turn.

Adrienne smirked. "Little one? I'm nearly your age grandpa," she teased. "Just because I'm not married and without children doesn't mean I'm little anymore."

He put his hand over his heart. "Shot through and through," he laughed. "Calling me an old man like that."

"Can't deny the truth," she said smiling, her head tilted a little to the side. She struck again, stepping forward with a quick jab.

"Speaking of, are you going to get married any time soon or let yourself turn into a spinster?" he teased, swinging back.

"Don't eve start Sam, you're starting to sound like my father," she rolled her eyes. "I'll marry when I damn well please... probably never," she laughed.

"Unfortunate for the poor hopefuls," he said to his friend. "I know a few guys who would love to make an honest woman of you." He waggled his eyebrows and struck again.

She practically snorted, a highly unladylike sound as, as she swung back and side stepped his attempt. "Like anyone could ever make me into something I'm not."

"More like something you don't want to be," a voice sounded joining the conversation, "something no woman should strive to be." Subira half-smiled at the two of them as she interrupted their match. "You should tell those poor hopeful of yours," she said looking to Samuel, "to come my way," she joked. Subira looked down at her right hand that had dragged two swords along side of her. She used her left hand to grab a hold of one of them so that she had one for each hand. "I'd teach them a lesson or two," she told him.

She strolled closer to the two of them. "Since they're not here," she went on, "how about we have some fun? You two against me?" she asked with a devilish smile on her face as she twirled the one in her right hand in a circle.

Adrienne grinned widely at Subira's entrance. "Now that is what I'm talking about," she had always admired the older woman, she had been something of a role model.

Sam laughed. "I am sure you would teach them everything they need to know," he winked. "I fear they would not know how to handle a woman of your caliber though." He took by Adrienne's side. "I like your idea of fun though, what about you Adi?" he said nudging the younger girl with his elbow.

Adrienne practically bounced with excitement. "Sounds most excellent!" she said brightly. She would have clapped her hands together if she weren't already wielding a huge sword. "You wouldn't be able to hold your own Sam," she teased.

A smile crept across Subira's face as she slowly stepped toward them. "Alright then, it sounds like-" she cut herself off as she swung, from the outside in, one sword at each of them hoping to surprise her opponents. She was excited when both of her swords were met with opposition with two loud clangs.

"So," she said pulling them back as she took a step backward, "is he supposed to be teaching you or something?" she asked, her eyes on Samuel but taking a jab at Adrienne.

Adrienne and Sam were both quick to react, they both knew to be on their toes when Subira was about. She was quick, one of the better warriors in the kingdom. It was excellent training for them both and they wouldn't waste the opportunity.

Adrienne grinned. "He likes to think he's teaching me," she teased with a little giggle as she batted away the jab and spun carefully so as to avoid another swipe.

If Sam didn't know any better he would have been insulted by the mirthful giggle. "Adi fashions herself as something of a homegrown warrior," he smirked. "It's practically in her blood."

	Adrienne's judgment served her well as Subira swung at her again quickly after the jab. "In the blood?" she asked before turning around to swing at Sam with her other sword. "It's a rare gift," she admitted as she swung once more at Adrienne, "and you must learn to control it." (Reply to this)(Parent)
