Friendly sparring match between an Ethafeal and an Akalak

Built into the cliffs overlooking the Suvan Sea, Riverfall resides on the edge of grasslands of Cyphrus where the Bluevein River plunges off the plain and cascades down to the inland sea below. Home of the Akalak, Riverfall is a self-supporting city populated by devoted warriors. [Riverfall Codex]

The moment that the Akalak felt Caelum's body fall backwards so easily his mind was piqued. Sure Caelum might not have known how to counter such a move, it wasn't outside of the possibility that the other was just surprised that the Akalak had chosen a maneuver that would put him at risk of bodily injury. However the fact that Caelum's body did nothing to try and prevent it, not even in reflex until they were on the mat and Favchean's body was heavily on his rose his suspicions.

The suspicions were momentarily dismissed when a blow to the head made his head spin, which drove his body into instinct mode and he retaliated. His left arm raised and he dropped his elbow toward the midsection of the man trapped beneath his body. Once that blow was attempted he rolled, digging his shoulder into the man on the floor, and his hand fell but stopped right before he struck the throat of the Ethaefal. It was a demonstration of a blow that would have crushed a windpipe had Favchean not stopped it, the match was his. However he did not look pleased, his pale eyes shuttered and his brow furrowed.

Through out the spar Caelum had proven to be an apt opponent, not a novice playing with sparring. Then at the end it was almost as if Favchean was sparring with someone who had never worked with his body, which just stirred his suspicions more.

The large green man stood slowly then bent and offered the downed man a very large and square hand up. "I would say good match, but I don't think that one of us was really out to win." His voice was cool, not angry but definitely more chilled then it had been when he first came upon the sparring Caelum.

Caelum squinted a golden eye up at the imposing, green man from where he lay on the mats. He thought for a moment that maybe he should just stay down because that was clearly a better idea than rising to any potential challenge offered in Favchean's cooled demeanor. Despite the more cowardly protests of his bodily aches, the ethaefal accepted Favchean's hand all the same and climbed up to his feet. Once there he bounced a little, jittering there on the balls of his toes while swinging his arms up into a long, spine crackling stretch.

"I wanted to learn," he compromised, and his smile twisted with self deprecating for the Akalak. "You gave me one hell of a lesson, Favchean." And every word he spoke rang genuine, no little bit of charm gracing Caelum as he rolled backwards to stretch into a left footed lunge and ease his body out of the worst of muscle pains.

"Congratulations," he added, and his smile sharpened toward a grin that hinted toward radiance. Thank Syna he was standing outside of the slat of sunlight. Straightening up, he offered the Akalak his hand. "Maybe we can do it again sometime? I've got a lot to learn, and I think it's possible you might could learn a small thing or two from me as well."

Favchean stepped back as soon as the Ethaefal rose to his feet, his eyes watching him studiously. It was not in Favchean's nature to accuse with only a gut feeling to go on, however he was almost certain that the other had thrown the fight. But why would he do that? It didn't make sense to an Akalak who lived for the challenge.

However when the other smiled, Favchean found he couldn't hold on to the anger, though the hurt and confusion still remained. Had Caelum felt the need to throw it to him? And a little of that was offense that perhaps Caelum had just assumed he was so bad that he couldn't win without being thrown to. "I am sure that we could learn something from each other." Favchean started slowly, tilting his head a little as he took the Ethaefal's hand briefly before letting go to start to turn to the door. He made a few steps before he stopped and turned back. "We learn much better when one of us does not disrespect the other as to give up half way through the spar." With that said, the Akalak slipped out of the door. He still respected the other, his fighting style was solid and he might have won had he not given up, however Favchean would need a little time before he attempted to spar with him again, perhaps even an explanation.

A friendly farewell dried up in Caelum's mouth when Favchean remarked on disrespect and slipped out the door, back into the day and away from him. The ethaefal stood there for a long chim, his expression falling altogether as he realized not only his error but the fact that he genuinely could not have helped it.

The line of his mouth twisted into a grimace and he rubbed a hand back through the tangle of his hair. A breath was shoved out of his lungs and he cast a glance up at the high suspended windows of the sasarin before moving for the door. He sort of slogged more than he walked due to a combination of aches and the fact of feeling guilty over the end of what might have been the start of a glorious friendship.
