Seren was laughing as she grabbed her boyfriend's hand and dragged him, gently, towards the sparring field. "Come on, baby! I need more practice with Di, now that her size has gotten bigger. Please?" She gave him wide, pleading eyes, almost puppy-eyes, behind her glasses, as she got onto the field, and turned to face him. "You know I need to make sure I have all the practice I can get... I want to be strong enough to be SURE I come home to you with minimal injuries after missions."
That last bit was said with a little more seriousness, perhaps, because it was very true.

Rhys's hesitance to spar with his girlfriend was very, very obvious. He was smiling the whole time only because the way she insisted and put in the work to drag him out here and gave him that puppy-eyed look was beyond adorable, but he wasn't too thrilled by the prospect of wielding a sword against her. Even in a mock fight. What that said about him as a hunter...frankly, he didn't really care.
"Alright, alright," he finally caved once they were actually on the field--not like he was gonna run back home now--and he summoned his sword while eyeing her from where he stood. "Since you're practicing this isn't the time to go easy, alright? Wards are up so just keep swinging."

She gave him a beaming smile, then leaned up, kissed him, and stepped back to summon the recently 'grown' Diwata. She took a moment to get herself into a good stance, hands shifting on the sword's hilt until she found a good position. "Thank you, baby. This means a lot to me... And do not worry." Her eyes glittered at him, love and determination sparkling in them. "I have no plans to take it easy on you. I will not get anything good, or useful, out of this if I do." Once she was sure she had a GOOD grip, and hoisted up Diwata, then she moved in, swinging hard for Rhys' left side. Quote: HP: 50/50 Dmg: 9 Charge: 1/3

The swing hit him hard, nearly knocking the wind out of him but not quite. It did send him skidding a few steps over, thankfully a good enough distance away that he had a second or two to reorient himself to what in the hell just happened. He'd been hit hard before, but it was like he wasn't totally ready when Seren came at him.
"Holy s**t," he murmured, hopefully just to himself. Still a little bit thrown by it, he ran in and tried for a direct hit...that seemed to mostly fail.

Seren blinked at the way his return swing barely even grazed her shield. Maybe he was just surprised by how hard she came in, and how big Di had gotten? She was not sure about it, though, and she bit her lip. She really did not want him to go easy on her, and if he did, she was going to get a little annoyed. For the moment, however, she was going to keep treating this fight as seriously as she had started with. As such, she moved in, darting forwards, and swung, hard, at her boyfriend's other side, not relenting for the second blow either. This was supposed to be practice for the real thing, after all!

The second blow most definitely winded him this time, along with sending him skidding off in the opposite direction. Her sword and the force she put behind each hit was impressive, and nothing less than what he expected from her if he were being honest. Just...being on the receiving end of it really sucked.
After he got his bearings again he dashed in, looking for an opening but not quite finding a good one. Diwata took up a lot of the space in front of her, so he did his best to sidestep around before trying for a hit.

Seren frowned more, as the second hit barely even grazed her shield, again. She stomped up to him, ducking under Zephira, and didn't even attempt to do much to him. Instead, she used her pommel to make a knocking motion at his shoulder, which barely touched him, but served to show she was annoyed. "Hey, come on... I know you can hit harder then that. You better not be taking it easy on me, babe..." Quote: HP: 47/50 Dmg: 1 Charge: 2/3

Her annoyance was fair but also a little misplaced, so when she knocked him on the shoulder the Mist outright frowned. "I'm not, trust me. You try taking two direct ********' hits from any sword the size of Diwata and you tell me if you can see straight right away." The irritation ebbed quickly though, and Rhys just quickly brushed it aside to get back to business. "I told you to keep swinging though, why'd you stop?"
He took a few steps back to put some distance between them again. Cheap shots weren't exactly his thing in general, never mind against his girlfriend. When he was ready, and he determined that she was as well, he darted in, aiming for and swinging the flat of his blade at her forearms, hoping to weaken her grip.

She blinked at his words, and stepped back with a nod. "All right... I wanted to make sure. I just wanted to make sure. I know you worry about me, and I don't want that getting in the way of this spar. Sorry that I misinterpreted, babe..." She felt a little guilty, now, but she set that aside to deal with later. "And I stopped to clarify the issue..." Because the honest fact was, if his worry had made it so that he couldn't spar with her as an equal, she'd want to stop... both because it wouldn't provide her the practice she needed, and because they would need to have a talk. She needed to be his equal in this relationship, and it would worry her, make her wonder if he did not see her that way, something she'd never had to consider before. She watched him come in, and shifted herself into position again, waiting for his next strike. When it came, it came hard, and while she went 'OOF!' at the power of the blow, she also was grinning, pleased, because it really showed her worries were unfounded. Her return strike was not as strong, perhaps because he had managed a good hit and it rattled her, but she still managed to get an ok strike in. Quote: HP: 38/50 Dmg: 4 Charge: 3/3

It seemed like it worked, at least a little, as her next hit wasn't quite as bad as the first two. Her grin confused him a little though, something he thought he could ask about later when they weren't in the middle of a spar. He turned and moved to strike at the first opening he saw, being incredibly mindful of Diwata's size so he didn't accidentally get caught on her blade as he moved.
"Still think I'm holding back?"

"No, you've convinced me you're not... And sorry about this, babe, but... I need to know how this works..." She sounded honestly apologetic for what she was about to do... Which was activate the charge she and Di had built up, with a slightly fierce, concentrated expression. The runes glowed, bright and strong, and she darted forwards towards Rhys, swinging in hard, the blade a glowing blur as the full weight of the hit, and the sword, came in at him.

The glowing runes were enough of a warning, though he couldn't help but smile because she felt the need to give him a verbal warning as well. "Go for it, babe," he said, readying himself for the blow. And thankfully he did, because when it came it flattened him to his back and sent him skidding across the field a good distance away. The Mist lay there for a second, breathing deep as he fought down the immense amount of pain that was just coursing through his entire body.
Rhys was up on his feet after a moment, a little unsteady but he was up and already dashing in. "Looks like she learned somethin' new," he grinned, sword once again lashing out as soon as he saw a good opening. "Nice."

Watching him go skidding back, her eyes went huge with concern, initially... And then he was up and charging. She did not have time to reply, or dodge, because his hit came in hard and fast, and she oof'd, but grinned wide, pleased by his words. After the hit, she darted to the side, swinging Diwata up and around in an arc towards his side, finally replying with "Yes, she did, and it seems to be QUITE effective, too..."

Another hit that winded him, and he more than felt it this time given his shield was down for the count. Zephira was screaming profanities at him for his carelessness, blah-blah-blah, more things he ignored. He did his best to ignore the pain and stepped back, swinging his down in an upward motion as he went.
"Quite feels like an understatement, and this comin' from the guy that took the hit."
