Cigarette loose between two fingers and arms drawn over his chest, Ever idly watched two much-buffer-than-him hunters go at each other -- and couldn't help, in the moment, but feel a bit out of place. In battered jeans with his coat loose around him, Ever was still skinnier than usual, just a little bit sunburned, pale hair gone long enough to be shaggy. He belonged in Life, certainly. More the nerd than the powerhouse, and as he watched the scene below, it was painfully apparent. So thoughtfully, he drew more smoke into his lungs and tipped his head to the side. At least there was the view.

Rep knew hitting the dummies was doing absolutely ******** nothing for the ravenous monster that had taken over his weapon, but it let him scope out his own prey while he did it. There were a few spectators and training hunters that were decent prospects he'd been entertaining, but one amongst those gathered stood out.
He'd been looking back to Ever between swings, thinking, sometimes staring a little too long.
Lowering the broken axe, he made his way over to the other man and looked like he might speak, his body language braced in the subtle way people often did when they were about to make a point.
But rather than words, what happened was the redhead leapt, clearing several meters as he did so and swinging the axe at Ever, intending to miss but also intending to throw down a gauntlet of sorts.
"Think fast!" he barked.

Fast, at least, he could manage: a distracted blink at Rep, smoke billowing upward as he exhaled, turned rapidly into something else -- instincts that had been trained, at least to some degree, over the last few months, making Ever drop his cigarette and roll to one side in a rush, coughing as he did.

"...what the hell?" But even without thinking, his own weapon was in hand: the dark dagger in one and the metal sheath in the other, raised in defense. It was possible that Ever didn't truly believe that this was an attack, was waiting for the joke to fall in its wake. He shook himself out, wary but holding, to see what Rep would do.

"Best spars are the ones you don't ******** see coming." was Rep's retort as he hefted up Tracey, still feeling weak and drained but intstead of energy running on pure willpower and the desire to do something about this ******** predicament.
He swung, but it was far slower than he'd hoped, still struggling to deal with the change in the bond and the additional effort it demanded just to move the enormous axe.

"You could have waited until I finished the cigarette." Ever sounded almost mournful as he shifted his footing and, carefully, ducked in to steal a blow back at Rep -- but it was a little jittery, uncertain, his eyebrows pulled together. Tracy, even crippled, still made him somewhat nervous, and it showed. Or maybe that was just Rep, in general. HP: 50/50 Charge: 2/3 DMG: 1

"RIP f** I guess." Rep said with a smirk. "I'm sure there's others where that one came from." He took full advantage of the hesitance on the part of the other man to swing again, slightly more vindictive than necissary perhaps.
He might have still been harbouring a bit of an irritated grudge about being told he was attractive when that was flagrantly and untruth and clearly poking fun at him.

Maybe it finally clicked that they were doing this -- or maybe Ever just acknowledged that, whether he got smacked for it or not, it was worth actually making an effort in this particular fight. This time, when he stepped in, he actually followed through on the swing and it connected, this time. The expression on his face was maybe one of genuine surprise. "Where'd this come from, anyway?"

"I need fear." Rep stated matter-of-factly. "So I need to get it any way that there is. You happened to be one of those ways." he grinned. The hit connected hard and made him stagged back with a hiss of pain, gritting his teeth as he countered, though still much slower than he would have liked."Congratulations, I guess, you get to be my donor."

As always, Ever's strategy now was to stay as close as he could -- within reach, to make it harder for him to get hit. Sometimes it served him well, sometimes it kicked him in the a**. This time it meant that, as he dragged his blade across Rep's shield, he was close enough to wink up at him. "Any time, Rep." HP: 41/50 Charge: 3/3 DMG: 6

Rep was always wary of close range attacks, they caught him in a spot where he could not effectively maneuver the oversized axe in a way which did any significant damage. Ever was quick and as he attacked Rep felt the danger of this sort of combat all the more acutely, desperately trying to back up to get some range.
The wink however threw him off even this stride. He didn't know what to do with flirting, and panicked, forgetting his cool and tripping even as he backed up, only at the last minute catching himself with the blade and avoiding toppling over.
"Fear donor." he said.

Laughing at Rep seemed like a really bad idea, so Ever struggled to swallow it -- just grinning a s**t-eating grin up at him, instead, as he followed the retreat. Again, he struck solidly, and in the back of his mind Amory whispered for him to release his charge. He resisted. "Whatever. Just keep in mind that I'm down." HP: 41/50 Charge: 3/3 DMG: 3

He could feel his fragile shield eroding with every hit Ever landed on it, and when he countered it was with a bit more urgency in the low sweep of the blade, wishing more than anything that he could gather a charge and taste the fear he was gathering.
"Well I'm no up for anything but sparring." Rep snapped grumpily. "So keep ******** dreaming."

"Well, it's nice to have your permission." At least Ever made it sound matter-of-fact this time: wincing just a bit as he tried to dodge Rep's swing and, couldn't quite make it. After a moment, though, he stepped in to swing in retaliation, clearing his throat as he did. "You know, I really expected you to be kicking my a**, here..." HP: 35/50 Charge: 3/3 DMG: 9

Ever's swing caught Rep mid-stride and threw him off balance, it was enough accurately aimed force to even knock the air out of him, digging deeply into his rapidly depleting shield. He gathered himself up again, hissing through his teeth in pain.
At the comment on his performance, he grinned grimly. "Aye. Maybe." he shook his head. "I'm no though." He didn't bother trying to defend it with the damage to Tracey, because frankly he didn't know if that was the case or if he was simply not fighting well at all lately.
Even losing he refused to give up, twisting his wrist, he flipped the axe and leapt in with a swipe at Every's side. "I'm getting ******** whipped."
