The timidness, while not abetting, seemed to be taking a back seat as the spar began to heat up. Oliver was advancing, the heavy swing of his axe lending momentum, and Gretchen was forced to continue that quick retreat. Unsuccessfully. It bit into her shield, threw her balance a bit, and she had to stagger to stay on her feet.

As she caught her balance though, she'd bring her staff up in a wide arc, aiming for whatever bit of his upper body she could manage to hit before another attempt was made to put a little bit of space between them.

If she could disrupt his forward momentum, maybe she could slow him down a little.

The staff made a smart rap sound as the kid batted it aside almost casually with his forearm. It sent a jolt of pain tingling all the way down to his fingers, but he had blocked sharper cuts with that arm not so long ago, and was unflinching as he pressed forward into the space Gretchen was attempting to create.

The skeletal axe swung around for another hard strike, but before it could reach it's apex, Oliver clicked something on it's handle. There was a quick hiss and a solid thunk as heavy blades shifted. The result was a long slash from something more closely resembling a two-handed greatsword, with all the axe's violent momentum behind it.

{Guard yourssssself!}

The hiss made Gretchen jump, startling her and stealing away the fraction of a second she would have needed to get the staff up in time to defend. Instead the blow sent her stumbling backwards, coming down hard on the lawn with a small cry and a grunt.

He was too close now for a proper swing of her bo staff, but perfect range for a kick. Laying back on her elbows, Gretch brought her left leg up, aiming the heel of her fake foot for his shin.

Oliver winced, jerking his leg back even as he brought the weapon around for another attack. It brought back very strong memories of banging his shins on coffee tables in the dark, tripping over furniture, tending dark bruises in the days that followed... But it wasn't enough to even slow the Intermediate. Perhaps that was the real difference living on the island had made, Oliver couldn't always avoid pain, but he had learned to keep moving in spite of it.

In it's sword form, Jökul's speed was more impressive, but the boy had to wield it more forcefully to make up for it's inability to pick up as much natural momentum. Using it from the beginning of a match would exhaust him in short order, but it was an impressive finisher.

Stepping into the attack, Oliver reminded himself there were wards in place. It would be okay... And then he let the attack hit, the large blade easily striking not just his opponent's leg, but reaching her torso as well in one long, violent slash.

Needless to say, Gretchen wasn't quite expectations no anything like that. Oliver certainly hit hard, but his convictions had seemed a little less than sure of himself. This time, it was like a different person entirely charged her, and she wasn't ready for it.

Still on the ground, the axe-turned-sword bit across her shield have d enough to hurt, and it tore a pained gasp from the girl before the sudden loss of her false limb startled her into a very temporary silence. Prosthetic foot and post both jerked from the base, flying in an arch to bounce off the ground some yards away, and Gretchen's pant leg flapped rather hollowly before laying across the patchy grass. "Oh crap on'a cracker." She'd just had that repaired!

Looked like she was going to have contact Scout again.

Oliver felt the blow hit, yet the sensation through the handle resonated in an odd way, and for a brief second he was confused. Until he saw the leg fly. Her leg. In the air. Completely separated from her body. He knew there were wards up, and this kind of thing shouldn't happen, but that was most definitely a leg. In the air.

He had chopped off some poor trainee's leg.

The freckled kid fell to the ground in an almost comical faint, his weapon de-summoned before it could hit the ground.

"Hey, would you mind gr-" *Thud*

Gretchen blinked, turning to glance back towards Oliver, only to find him laying on the patchy grass. "Oh my. Guess he didn't know it was a fake." She supposed, given the long pants, that it was an easy mistake to make.

With a soft hum she sifted closer so she could nudge the poo dear onto his back and smooth his hair back from his face. "Hey Slugger, you alright?"

For the briefest second when he came to, Oliver was disoriented. Yet when it all came back to him it was a good thing he was lying down or he might have fallen over again.

He sat up quickly, his face pale with alarm. "I-I-I'm s-so s-sorry, ah, a-are you okay, o-oh my gosh- Th-the infirmary... ah, w-we should go..." It took that long for him to trail off, picking up on Gretchen's distinct lack of panic. At first he didn't get it, his hands shook, and his eyes darted nervously as he searched for those missing traces of blood that most certainly should have been everywhere. But then he spotted the prosthetic lying on the trampled grass of the training field.

The boy's face slowly dropped into his hands. "I am s-so sorry," he moaned, muffled almost past coherency.

Oh dear. Poor Oliver. Gretchen reached out to lay a hand on his arm, the other coming up to try to kindly cut him off before she saw his eyes turn back to the prosthetic, processing what he was seeing.

"Oh sweety, no. It's alright. No harm done, I'm fine." The leg didn't look damaged, and even if it was, Gretch knew someone that could fix it up for her good as new.

"Do you think you could grab it for me though?"

Oliver nodded, but it was another long second before he shakily got to his feet. After that scare, his own legs felt like jelly.

He picked up the leg timidly, and with utmost care, like he was picking up a glass slipper or a flower that would drop it's petals if he wasn't extremely gentle. If it wasn't broken already, he didn't want to do anything to damage it now!

By the time he returned to hand Gretchen the leg his cheeks had gone quite red. He wanted to drop into a hole right then and there, but settled for collapsing back onto the grass once the prosthetic was handed over. "S-sorry..." he mumbled again.

She took it from him with a smile, and set to the task of replacing it where it belonged, though paused as Oliver dropped back down beside her and apologized again. "It really is alright. You didn't do it on purpose." He hadn't even known she had the fake leg.

Leg secure, she folded the both of them indian style, leaning so she could catch the other trainee's eye. "You're lookin' a little pale still. Are you alright?"

Oliver nodded rather woodenly. Regardless of the state of their respective shields, the boy did look much worse for wear. Direct pain was something he could deal with in the moment, but the shock to his poor mental state was the most effective finishing blow.

After a second he pulled a few candies out of a coat pocket, unwrapped one without looking, and tossed it in his mouth. He had never had any problems with low blood sugar even before the weapon bond, but the familiar sweetness came with some much-needed reassurance. He offered the remainder to Gretchen, already beginning to look a little calmer, a little stronger.

"Ah, y-you're really okay?" He asked sheepishly. "N-nothing broken?"
