[Tuvya Sasaran]What about the other leg?[Dex]

[Rykanis Dakshata]

Rykanis could tell that the rack of weapons excited the kelvic, for the fact that they were mainly shiny. He was such a simple creature... Then he almost wet himself, upon realizing that a pair of stiletto blades were built so that the opposite hilts were there sheathes. Tamo he was fairly certain they were called... Though not something he ever used, or planned to. He preferred his lakans, which could stab to an extent, though mainly slashed. Those thin little stiletto blades, could only stab. Plus they did not tend to be all that deadly... It was hard to kill someone by just stabbing them, unless you managed to hit the right spot. Not with those thin little narrow things... "Those little thin flimsy things? I suppose you could use them... Though a bit frail... They are okay for stabbing, but not all that good in combat... Maybe if you are sneaking up and killing by surprise, but they are next to useless in open combat... Are you sure that is what you want to use?" As the kelvic tried to convince him that he could just call him by kelvic, or even kelvic ferret, he snorted out loud. Really, that was the most idiotic defense he had ever heard. "Yeah, that might, in some situations. But it would not work if there was more than one kelvic around, then they would all look. And did you ever think, maybe you are not the only kelvic ferret? If there was another, then it would not work... Really, you need your own name, you cant just go by kelvic, when there are more than one. " "I already said, it would be pointless to make a name up, since then it would end with you being called a dozen different things, and utter confusion as to if we meant the same kelvic. John? What do you mean it is the name you had to use? Were did you get it?"

[Dex]

John was feeling confused. These things he had in his hand felt great. All it seemed he had to do was to poke the large blue target with them, without getting hit. Simple, and not complicated. "I like these. These are simple. And John is the name I gave the guy who stopped me in the forest when I was going for a walk. Something about public nudity, and he wouldn't accept that I don't have a name. So I used John, as in John Doe. I learned it's the name for a guy who doesn't have a name." In preparation for the spar, John simply stood there, with his arms up, waiting until Rykanis decided to do something against him.

[Rykanis Dakshata]

Rykanis was getting a bit a aggravated at his kelvic partner here. He was not sure why he always seemed to be getting on his nerves, and under his skin... There was just something about him, that he did not like... Though he could not place it... And him stonewalling him for his name... That was just a good excuse to rile him up... Rykanis felt like he was doing it on purpose, and was purposely trying to annoy him by hiding the secret of his name. He had just taken the name, as it was the name for one without a name? What utter rubbish! He had to have a name, a real one, one he called himself, not something just given to him. So when he did start the spar, he was in a bit of a bad mood, and used a bit more force than was technically necessary. As he stood there, with his arms up, one weapon in his hand, his lazy defense just annoyed him all the more. Rykanis would let out a battle cry, and come rushing at the kelvic with his wooden blade a flying. He would do a swipe at the weapon he held, trying to knock it out of his hand and disarm him. Then for good measure, he would make another few slashes, at his chest, and upside his head.

[Dex]

John stood there with the two small wooden daggers, waiting for him. Unfortunately, the big blue man moved much faster then he had expected. Rykanis had roared a loud battle cry, making John wince slightly, when he was on him in a flash. Rykanis's first strike swung right at his wooden stabbers. John, feeling quite surprised, leaped back, but not before one of his weapons was knocked away. Feeling suddenly quite more unarmed, Rykanis's second and third strikes came as quickly, both cutting across his chest, pushing him back even further. However, being forced back that far put him out of reach from Rykanis's fourth strike. Seeing an opportunity to hopefully stop getting smacked, John let his acrobatics come into play, and he dived into a forward roll, trying to stick his weapon into Rykanis's inside thigh while still getting behind him. Coming up on the opposite side of Rykanis, not sure if he had landed a blow on him or not, John scrabbled in a crawl on the ground, picking up the weapon Rykanis had knocked out eariler. He turned around to see Rykanis coming after him again, to which he threw his weapons up to try and block the incoming strikes.

[Rykanis Dakshata]

Rykanis still did not really know why this kelvic got on his nerves so much. He just did... He supposed if he thought about it, it might be because he felt him as a threat, a competition perhaps? I maybe it was that he had tried to rob him... Or maybe he just only liked female kelvics... He was not really sure... Or maybe he just had one of those animal instinct like thing, a feeling, knowing that he just did not like him... Maybe it was something the kelvic was exuding, making him feel that way? Maybe his other side had figured it out, but he was not telling him about it, so he would just have to go on without knowing... As he let out his cry, he smashed one of the kelvics weapons from his grip, and smashed him a few times across the chest. The acrobatic manuever, it worked quite well on Rykanis, getting the kelvic to were he needed to be... But the attack, not so well. Rykanis parried the incoming blow, and grabbed at the wrist of his other hand, with the weapon he had picked up once more. "Drop the stupid second one kelvic. Do you really think you can use both, when you don't even know how to use the first? Focus on just using the one, and maybe once you are good with it, you can try a second. But that wont be for awhile." Rykanis would give him a chance to drop the second one, taking a step back. Then he would smile at him, before holding up his lakan defensively, and motioning for him to come at Rykanis.

[Dex]

John thought that seemed silly. Having two meant twice as many opportunities to hurt him. Oh well, he was the experienced at this. John watched as he backed off a ways and motioned for him to approach. John took a moment, casually walking around in a circle twice, thinking of what he was going to do. Once he had what he hoped to be something he could in mind, he casually sauntered up to the side of the akalak with the lakan in his hand. Just as he was about to come into reach though, he dashed to the other side, letting his dagger hand try to stab repeatedly and fast across his chest and the side. Still trying to keep the move going, he went around the far side and leapt up, trying to get a hand hold on the big blue shoulder, while trying to brace his feet on Rykanis's back, still letting his dagger hand go to work, trying to stab all around the akalak's back. John had a moment where he suddenly thought that he felt everything. Felt wasn't really the word, but it would do. In just an instant, he felt the sweat on him and Rykanis, the heat rising from the sandy floor. Everything was startling clear, from the ridges and nicks on his weapon, to the tight muscle groups moving under Rykanis's blue skin. The glint from the metal weapons rack shined in his eye, contrasted by the dull wooden glow of the other racks. But, it was only for an instant, and he was back in the fight.

[Rykanis Dakshata]

Maybe it was just him getting caught up in the moment, the battle energizing him, but he felt like his blood was getting hot inside of his flesh... He concentrated on his breathing, only just keeping from lashing out at the kelvic... Giving him his moment to mess around, but always keeping his eyes on him... He had long since learned to keep your awareness on your foe... To not let it slip... Though also not to do so to such an extent that you lost awareness of everything else... Completely focusing to much... Would just end with a second opponent coming around and stabbing you in the back by surprise... As his foe finally came in... He let a pent up breath out... Felt a single drop of sweat trickling down the side of his face, near his ear... Saw as the kelvic moved, feinted, and tried to blindly stab at him once more. This time he did not do quite so well, though he managed to get one arm up to fend of the blows, to protect his chest... If it had been a real battle, he likely would have been stabbed pretty good, but likely not fatally... But he would likely have lost use of that arm... If it had been a real weapon, and not the fake wooden one... As it was, he might have a few bruises on that arm... Less than if another wielded it, the tiny kelvic did not really seem all that strong. But he did not let it go to waste. The strike at him forced the kelvic to come in close, as Rykanis blocked him with his arm. He swept his other arm holding his lakan in, and stabbed and slashed at the kelvics chest. It probably would not hurt to bad if it worked, though if it had been a real lakan, Rykanis would have been the victor, as he likely would have gutted the beast, his insides streaming out along with his hot blood... He was not sure why this kelvic annoyed him so, and brought out such an angry side of his mood... He would smile at the man-beast, both of them still close... And then Rykanis would attempt to knock him upside the head with his lakan.

[Dex]

Well, it half worked. He'd landed a few blows on the big blue man's arm and shoulder, but as he darted to the right, the arm blocked him in as Rykanis turned around letting his lakan go to work. Dex doubled over as the wooden lakan poked into his stomach, and then slashed across his chest again. Breathing was becoming more difficult, and he'd likely be sore across the chest for awhile. Dex was still close to the blue man, both of them sweating and full of adrenaline. He pulled himself back into a standing position when he noticed something peculiar.... Rykanis was smiling at him. Having seen that smile more then once on people who were sure they were about to beat him into ground ferret man, Dex saw the wooden lakan come into swing. The lakan already had to much power and to much speed for Dex to dodge it, which didn't leave him many choices. Reacting in pure instinct, Dex brought the point of his stabber and held it up to poke into the fast coming wrist of the lakan hand. If it worked, he'd still be flung back to the ground just by the sheer force of the big blue arm. If it didn't .... let's not think about that.

[Rykanis Dakshata]

Rykanis was successful in some of his attacks. He did in fact manage to strike his foe a few good times in the chest, a poke, and a few swipes, which would have interpreted in real combat to a stab and a few chest opening slashes. Not bad for a few seconds work... Though that was why people here trained with wooden weapons, eventually everyone would have enough wounds to kill them, and would wind up dead, and that would just ruin the training... Better to get some bruises, and save the real deathblows for on there true enemies, not just there foes of the moment. By know all of the fighting was taking its toll, even he was drawing his breath in deep to get a full lungful, sweat glistening on his flesh, and a good few bruises starting to form... However as he made his angry swipe at the kelvics head, the beast in turn made a attempt at stabbing him in the wrist. Almost without thinking, Rykanis brought his hand up higher, to dodge the incoming swipe, as he would if they were using real weapons. This however meant that his hand also went right over the head of his foe, missing it by a few scant inches. After he missed, his other side got ahold of him once more, and helped to calm him down, getting him to back up from his sparring partner... "Well, that was certainly exciting... Maybe we should call it quits for know? Don't want you dropping dead of exhaustion on me." He said, a smile on his face, along with the sweat on his skin... He was pretty tuckered out to, not that he would admit it. Though that was more of a guy thing, not just exclusive to him.

[Dex]

Dex watched as thankfully the entire arm went up and over his head, dodging his wooden weapon that he'd pointed at Rykanis's wrist. After promptly backing up a few steps, Rykanis asked if they should quit. Dex nodded, his chest sore and well bruised among other things. That's when the wave of exhaustion hit him, a drop from his adrenaline high. He fell forward on his knees where he simply sat for a minute, letting his head clear. The floor did interesting things to him, such as rocking back and forth, being a little hazy. The rack of wooden and metal weapons turned into two separate blurs of brown and a shiny silver color. Carefully Dex pulled himself up to his feet again, as his vision along with his sense of balance returned. Still feeling extremely tired, he walked back to the edge of the room and sat on a bench, waiting for Rykanis to join him. Dex let his thoughts wonder slightly at all that he'd learned with Rykanis. Most were more then a little disturbing, mainly about his inadequacies to fight. Wondering what he'd have to do to be better. He noticed though, that his acrobat skills came in handy. His mind wondered to whether his juggling skills would be any good in a fight either, when Rykanis nudged him slightly, jarring him from his thoughts.
