Indelible Ink (Jaeden)

[Kashik]

Kashik's grin somehow brightened at his dare to not hold back, turned feral and joyful, and the spear spun once more in her hands. "We'll see who claims the prize this day," she laughed, winking back at him. The feint elicited no reaction from her, but when he leapt forward, she gave a squeak of surprise and danced away from him, eyes glued to his as she twisted just out of his range. She was light on her feet and just as fast, but she was smaller and nowhere near as strong, and she knew full well she couldn't just bash at him. She didn't want to dance all day, though, and so she circled around just until the sun was behind her, and then she spun the spear in wide arcs above her head to clear a bit of space, and then lashed out to jab the blunted wooden end of it down at his right knee - and she did so with her left hand, not her right, trusting in this first strike to surprise him before he fully realized that she was left-handed and adjusted his balance.

[Jaeden Kincade]

Jaeden didn’t back away or try to parry the strike as it came down in, rather he turned his right leg slightly, bending his knee as the tip grazed along the side of his leg. His left hand quickly snatched out, grasping the shaft of Kashik’s spear tightly. “Ah, ah, ah.” Jaeden said with a smirk. “You caught me off guard, being left handed and all, but I’ve faced a spear user who almost killed me once. It’ll take more than that sugar breasts.” Jaeden then released his grip along the spear, hopping back a short distance as his eyes squinted from the light of sun along filtering past Kashik. He slowly began circling to compensate for such distractions, finding Kashik’s open cleavage a more pleasing one as he leered for just a moment. A subtle gruff echoed out from Fortunado as he looked up to the sudden exchange of practiced swings between the two. Jaeden slowly lowered the tip of his stick into a low guard, this time waiting for Kashik to take the offensive.

[Kashik]

She glared at him when he chastised her, though there was a fierce glimmer in her eyes that appreciated the challenge. When he finally released the spear, she jerked it forward a little just to rap his knuckles, unable to reach anything else when he jumped back. "Sugar breasts?" she said, a little disbelief in her voice, as if unsure that she'd understood the Common tongue correctly. She decided the phrase sounded better in Pavi, and snorted a laugh at the thought. She danced around him as he circled, letting him get the sun out of his eyes with a grunt of annoyance, and another when he simply held his guard and waited for her to attack. She felt as if he were her father, drawing out her moves and testing her skills as if he could beat her at anytime, and a flash of anger heated her blood and fed the battle-song that throbbed in her veins. Her focus narrowed to Jaeden, lips parted as her breath came just a hair faster, and she lunged for him, jabbing straight down at his guard - but if he crossed his practice sword with her spear, she planned to jerk it upwards and try to disarm him.

[Jaeden Kincade]

Jaeden slowly flicked his hand, whipping away the sting that rose along his knuckles after the tip of the wooden spear tip smacked along them. He narrowed his eyes, noting the expression on Kashik change before she lunged in. It surprised him when she focused her attack on his guard, rather than on his person. He waited patiently for her lunge, lowering the tip of his stick below her weapon just before it crossed over his. His arm went taught then as he took one step to the side, suddenly lifting his stick as it clashed with her’s. The force would hopefully bring the tip of her spear rising upward, after which he would simply move inside her guard, wrapping his arm around her waist as he pressed the spear against her body.

[Kashik]

He succeeded in catching her spear and hauling it upwards - but then, that'd been what she was trying to do as well, so she didn't fight it. His sword didn't go flying the way she wanted it to, which made her smile falter. He likely thought that smile disappeared because he slipped inside her guard, and even managed to get a hand on her waist. But she let him, and when she was close enough she hauled off and elbowed him in the face, the upward angle of it snapping his head back - and then followed it by stomping on his foot, laughing gleefully at having landed a blow. There was a reason her brothers and cousins refused to close ranks with her - she fought without her spear nearly as well as she did with it.

[Jaeden Kincade]

Jaeden’s head rocked back as her elbow caught his chin before a wince crossed his features when she slammed her foot into her foot. How would he react? The answer was quite simple as Jaeden’s hand dropped from her back, grabbing a full hand of her ass before his head swung back forward, suddenly planting his lips fully along her own. His body then quickly turned around her, as he began pushing her forward with his hand still pressed along her rear. As she cleared his hand, he quickly brought the stick around in a swing, smacking it along her rear before taking a couple of steps back. He slowly raised his left hand, rubbing his chin a little. A quick chuckle escaped his lips as she spun around to face him again. “You’re rough in the bed I imagine.” Jaeden simply commented before rushing forward at her with his full speed again, slashing his stick to her right side.

[Kashik]

Her breath rushed out of her in a squeak when he kissed her, eyes flying open in surprise - but she was a creature of instinct and fickle desires, and her tongue darted between his lips to taste his mouth. His grip lifted the petite woman nearly off her feet, making it easy to launch her away from him. She gave little moan of displeasure when he suddenly shoved her off, and a squeak of surprise at the spanking which immediately dissolved into peals of laughter. "Ah! You'd be surprised," she teased. The tip of her tongue flickered out as if to taste him again - and then he attacked. She stood her ground this time, for the most part; didn't back away, but she brought the spear up to jab up at him as she twisted away from his wooden blade, hoping to knock his arm away before he brained her with it.

[Jaeden Kincade]

Jaeden’s arm popped up as the tip of Kashik’s spear poked him along his forearm. His arm swung his sword back down, swatting the tip of Kasik’s blunt spear away again before he slid in towards her again, swinging his own stuck down across the front of her thigh as he passed by her. Quickly circling around, he turned to face her, once again raising his practice weapon to mid guard. A smile spread slowly across his lips as his breathing increased slightly, a slight sweat beginning to form along his brow. “Soooooooo,” Jaeden said as he began circling around her again. “Care to surprise me then?” Jaeden then rushed in again, keeping his mid guard where it was until the last moment when he raised his weapon, bringing it down in a strait forward swing at Kashik’s shoulder. When she raised her spear to block, he simply continued to step forward, pushing off with his strength as he tried to keep her off balance to prevent her from using any hand to hand fighting. When she was pushed back slightly, he then drew back his practice weapon, thrusting it towards her stomach.

[Kashik]

She laughed at his challenge, pure joy at the thrill of the fight. He thigh stung and would likely bruise, but it reminded her that this was a battle, not a dance, and her eyes lit once more with excitement as he attacked again. When he shoved his mock-sword forward towards her stomach, she pivoted on her left foot and grabbed the stick with her right hand - it wasn't a real sword after all, held no danger of cutting her. In the same moment, she shifted her weight to her back foot and kicked out with her left, connecting with the bottom of her spear and tangling it between his legs. "Surprise!" she cried as she gave her own shove, muscles not nearly as dense as Jaeden's but she was a warrior still. The butt-end of the spear swept his left leg forward out from under him, and she rammed her shoulder with all her might into the middle of his chest, sending him sprawling backwards. She remembered too late the wounds he'd taken to his backside, as well as his tattoo, and even as he started to fall she gave a gasp of horror and dropped both their weapons, scrabbling to catch his shirt in her hands. She planted her feet and hauled on him, but he was too heavy to keep from falling completely. Instead, she just fell with him, and instead of him landing on his ass, she did - with him on top of her. It knocked the breath out of her and left stars spangling her vision, and she couldn't quite manage to move. "Ow," she mewed, and chuckled pitifully.

[Jaeden Kincade]

Jaeden winced at her landing, as he laid out along top of her. He let a slow chuckle escape his own lips as to match with hers, his right forearm laying along side the ground beside her while his left hand pressed along the ground on the other side, lessening the weight along top of her. A moment of silence passed as his gaze rested along her eyes. “So, call it a draw for now?“ He said before he leaned down, once again resuming the kiss he had started earlier while they dueled. His left hand slid along the grass before it began sliding along her arm and eventually lacing his fingers within her own, pinning her hand to the ground slightly. His lips then slowly traveled along the smooth skin of her cheeks, guiding down the line of her jaw before ending at a gentle nibble along the lobe of her ear. Slight and slow movements of his whole form began a slight friction between their bodies before Jaeden rolled along the ground, pulling Kashik on top of him, allowing her more control to suit her own warrior nature.
