Chiara waved the assistant over, and the troll helped to get the two combatants suited up. The gear would not stop and arrow or real sword, but the fencing sabers had a dull tip. This was for points, not blood. Chiara picked out an excellent saber, a slight curve to the blade, so it could tip just a bit lower than one would expect. Crafty, just like her. The blueblood moved to the middle of the ring, sword at the ready. "Whenever your ready."

Elidae does 2 damage to Chiara!

As Chiara led Elidae into the gym, she found the blueblood's pick for their "game" surprising. The blueblood's sweettalking was getting to her.

Naturally, Elidae picked out the shiniest one that sparkled under the lights. It was just too pretty not to! After suiting up, Elidae twirled the sword in her fingers, admiring the light weight. The yellowblood walked around a bit in the circle, looking at her foe with a polite smile from behind the mask. The corners tugged further, then she motioned into a guarded position.

Elidae knew very basic knowledge on fencing, so she felt antsy knowing Chiara might have had more experience, making her have the upper hand. Still, the yellowblood stepped around the circle with an air of confidence, and perhaps a bit of thrill. This was a game, a game she intended to win somehow. While she might have figured Chiara had ulterior motives, she also wondered if perhaps, just maybe the blueblood simply wanted to train together. But that could have just been Elidae hoping.

Seeing the blueblood was clearly ready, Elidae motioned first. "En garde!" The yellowblood stepped forward with her arm extended, making a quick jab at the blueblood's torso. The blunt end of her blade tapped just barely, but definitely made contact. 'That's for calling me out of work today!' Elidae thought, though she could never say it aloud.

Chiara grinned. She wanted to see Elidae's fire, she wanted to see her have fun and put down that "im shy and cute" mask she always wore. Well, it was probably impossible for her to put down the cute part. The blueblood grinned to herself at her own little joke. Elidae's cute act was one of the things that made her just, so fun to mess with. Truthfully, Chiara wanted Elidae to win, to feel like she had the upper hand. It would help with trust in the long run.

On the fence of satisfaction and displeasure, Elidae continued her advancement towards the blueblood, coming onto her as the offense as she defended. Chiara, however, seemed to have a sudden effect on her that caused her to lose her balance. Staggering slightly, Elidae squeaked, and when she found her footing once again, returned to an offensive stance, albeit less confident. Chiara's presence seemed to take its toll on her slowly.

The blueblood carried her sword well and blocked with ease, though Elidae soon broke through her guard once again.

"Gotcha!" Elidae chirped, voice laced with a grin.

Chiara watched as the yellowblood gracefully maneuvered her sword, Chiara moved to block, but Elidae's weapon seemed to fly through the holes in the defense, and the blueblood felt a light tap of the sword on her protective plush armor. "GrrrUH!" Chiara grunted as she tried to take a step back to dodge it, too slow tho.

Pleased she got a noise from the blueblood, Elidae disengaged and stepped back.

"This is kinda fun!" She commented lightheartedly, bending her knees again, readying herself for the blueblood to advance on her. "Aren't ya gunna come for me?" Elidae teased. Shimmying her shoulders, she huffed sounds of laughter.

Chiara smiled and narrowed her eyes at Elidae. The yellowblood was really getting into the game, and Chiara was seeing that confident side she so wanted from Elidae. "Careful what you ask for." Chiara teased as she lunged in and landed a blow.

And Elidae definitely got it. As the blueblood lunged to take the offensive, Elidae could hardly defend herself and felt the not-so-gentle "tap" of the end of her blade on her torso. The yellowblood moved forward, with her own blade. Although it wasn't as hard of a blow as she would have liked, she still got a quick hit in.

"Im impressed," Chiara said, only just managing to return the attack to the yellowblood. "I thought you said youve never done this before?" Chiara moved her sword into a defensive position. "Guess it must be in your blood, hum?"

Elidae perked up, half astonished and half elated by Chiara's comment.

"I've worked with blades before!" Elidae replied lightheartedly, though she pushed forward and straightened her arm to take another tap at the blueblood's torso. "Just because I use them to cut hair, doesn't mean I don't know how to use them in other ways." She gave Chiara a wink.

Chiara managed to side-step a portion of Elidae's attack, but she still heard the judge call it to Elidae's point. Chiara hadn't been keeping track of points or anything of the like really, the fight, the movement of two swords and two bodies drew all her attention.

Before she could block, Chiara hit Elidae again in her stomach. "Unggh! You're pretty good at this yourself!" Elidae huffed, feeling the burn in her limbs and torso. While there wasn't any real, she This was a lotta work! "You probably have experience, though." Jumping back, Elidae stepped a few paces backwards to catch her breath for a bit.

"Humm," Chiara said, stepping back to say something or other. "Not really my thing, too snobby to be honest." It was something some seadweller would use, something that had history and elegance, but was flimsy and silly in real combat.

Blinking, Elidae watched Chiara step back herself to talk. Standing straight, the yellowblood considered her words and nodded. "Oh! I see!" She paused for a moment. "What do you like to normally use?" Making conversation felt natural for Elidae, as she always liked to enjoy simple words with everyone and get to know them. Chiara, on the other hand, was someone she wasn't sure how she felt about. From the events at Awassi's, Elidae knew Chiara to be quite defiant. Does just what she wants, without the consideration of others. Obviously. Behind the mask, Elidae made a face Chiara could not see. The blueblood could have just been buttering up her up, but Elidae really wanted to see the good in her...
