Blossom cheered and took the sword from Alihi. "Thank you! I promise you'll get this back!" She strapped the scabbard and hilt to her narrow hips, then looked over at Rei with a wide smile. "Okay, now we can spar. You ready?" she asked him.

"Alright, shorty, I've got a spare. Jeez." He said, tossing her his rapier. "Now, let's have some fun with this. That's a really good rapier, right there. And if I can just have one second...." He trailed off, reaching into his coat pocket, and pulling out a small rod. He placed it in his right hand, and released a minuscule burst of magic, causing a small flash. When the flash subsided, an elegant rapier made of fine mithril lay in his hand.
"This is my blade. It's called the... Last Fencer, I think. Name doesn't matter, though. It's what you do with it." Zelos took a step away from the girl, and back towards Isamu. "Kid, no matter how bad things get, you should never take it out on yourself. There's always something you can do. What you can do right now, is watch this unfold. Should be fun!"
Zelos took a few steps back, entering a combat stance.
"You. Blue-clad guy with the green hair. That's not my name, so I'd rather you not call me by that..."

'It was a moment of insanity.' Isamu still looked away.

Blossom scowled as she caught the rapier neatly out of the air. "All right," she said, crouching down into a fighting position. "Sword doesn't matter. Just if you can use it right." Blossom tucked her scarf into her jacket and zipping it up halfway. "Your move, Mister Zelos," she said as she loosened her stance just a little, shifting her position to something easier to spring out of. If he was going to assume this position, might as well go along with it. Was more fun, anyway.

"Come now, maiden. Ladies first." Zelos preferred the defensive, himself. He relaxed his stance just a bit, to compensate for a smaller opponent. Already, he was scanning the girl, searching for weaknesses to exploit.

Blossom waited for a few long minutes, waiting and watching Rei's stance. It was a loose stance, she saw, but still quite defensive; if she struck, he could move easily to block it, especially with his fancy (albeit light-looking) sword. Blossom stayed totally still for a few moments, then ran at him, kicking up an arc of snow. She skidded across the snow and performed a diagonal cut towards his shoulder. It wasn't close enough to actually cut into him, should he not block in time -- the purpose wasn't to hurt him, and there wasn't a healer close by -- but it was close enough to maybe nick his jacket, show that she could have gashed into him.

Zelos brought his shield arm up, blocking the snow from his eyes. As he saw the girl perform a slice with the sword, he leaned slightly back, preparing to go on the offensive, especially if the girl decided to hold back.
._. I'm better at magic fights. XD

Finally after some odd time, Nometal found his way back to the lake, and saw that Blossom and Rei, or whatever his name was at that moment, were dueling. "oy vey, it seems like Rei has gone mad."

Blossom took a leap to the side and performed a thrusting attack at Rei's hip. She wasn't sure if it was a smart idea to fight to wound, especially with no healer around, but someone had to have an Elixir or something, right? Things would be fine. Yeah. Sure.
Blossom followed through on the thrust, watching Rei attentively.
[[I like writing fights. =3"]]

Zelos saw the thrust, and shifted his weight slightly, causing only his coat to be grazed. With a shift of his arm, he knocked the sword out of the girl's hand, and watched it fall to the ground.
"Heh. Looks like I win. So, what's your name, my mysterious maiden of war?"
[[ Sorry to randomly end this. I needs sleep. Badly. >_< ]]

Blossom gasped as Rei somehow managed to dodge her thrust and strike her sword right out of her hand. He cheated somehow! she immediately thought, but she managed to keep the thought safe in her head, where no one else would hear her sound like a spoiled brat. Hmph... maybe I'm seriously out of practice...
"Blossom. Blossom Riddicks." Blossom smiled a little, then paused. "Well, I suppose it's Cheverell, legally."
[[S'okay, I understand. =3]]

(( ... Inner Blossdan fan is squealing. ))
Alihi watched the duel from afar. She winced slightly, as she watched the blade fly out of her friend's hand and into the snow.
"... Ugh. I wouldn't have lasted long at all... Note to self: train with someone."
A smile came to her face as Blossom introduced herself, including her legal last name. She was happy for her friends, as cheesy as it sounded.

((THE FOLLOWING POST CONTAINS TALES OF SYMPHONIA SPOILERS FOR THE SAKE OF COMIC RELIEF.))
"B-Blossom!" cried Aidan, as Blossom was disarmed. Darn. She could've taken him--he must've cheated somehow! he thought sorely. In concern, the tactician rushed to the swordswoman's side.
But he, like the others, was completely baffled by Rei, or Zelos, or whoever he was. Knowing Rei, it wouldn't be a huge stretch to assume he was just goofing around, but that technique...Aidan scrutinized the redhead, scratching his chin.
A thought suddenly struck him.
"Zelos, was it?" Aidan asked. "If I trust you, will we have to fight some other guy with redder hair later on in this plot? 'Cause I don't want this to end up as a repeat of that Halloween event."
Rie, who stood next to Alihi, pursed her lips.
"Alihi," she said, more of a statement than a question. "That man has good form, but...I've seen Blossom fight once or twice before, and there's no way he could've beat her that easily." The girl looked up at Alihi. "What do you think happened?"

Finn had been observing the fight while drinking his hot chocolate. Prince Leaf was still staying energetic and cheery, so he didn't need to worry about that at least. Throwing a quick glance at the prince every once in a while to make sure he didn't do anything dangerous, his babysitting seemed to be less trying now.
The younger girl asked the older one how her opponent managed to beat her. Finn felt a need to speak up.
"Forgive me for my rudeness, young lady, but I couldn't help to overhear your conversation. My name is Finn of Lenster. I watched that duel as well, and I could tell both of these people are formidable fighters. However, this man is a bit more brash and simplistic in his movements, so perhaps in terms of skill your aqauintance would've won. However, there is never a sure certain fight, and there are some elements that tipped the fight in his man's favor."
Finn made a paus to clear his throat. "But to suffice, perhaps the major reason would explain itself. It's a matter of preparation. The man, Zelos, came here adequately prepared with weapons to fight with, as not only had he one, he had two weapons with him and even a shield. Perhaps he was just looking for a fight, or he was overly paranoid during this Christmas holiday. Your friend, Lady...Blossom, was it? She didn't have a weapon at all with her, and might've spent the day playing with the snow, which would dull her hands a bit due to the cold. So she wasn't quite expecting to be dueling someone during the day, perhaps?"
...Finn wondered if he had gone in way over his head, but it didn't matter much now.
"Dooel!" a voice came from behind the knight, and the young prince Leaf came up, snowball in his hand. It quickly left the said hand, however, as the snowball was thrown into the back of Zelos' head. Finn was too shocked to even think something up to say at that time.

Isamu walked to Zelos/Rei. He had caught the last part of the action. He seemed impressed. 'That was some nice technique. Can you please tell me your name. And why do people call you Rei if it's not your name?'
