Blushing slightly at forgetting to give his birthplace, Toram said, "Well met Cirithil Luinmir of the mountains of Shienar. So you plan to be a warder, that mean you aren't one yet?"

Cirithil smiled, "Not yet. I feel I can hold my own, but it has been long since I have last seen the Master Warder. He decides when I am ready. My swords, however, have been ready for many years. Still it takes more than a sharp sword, and strong swordarm to become a Warder, no matter what the women think of physical combat."

"Well I don't know if you know this, but at the Black Tower we also learn the forms." Studying the man, Toram noticed that his sword arm was well developed.

"I could tell," Cirithil smiled, "You have a good balance. I actually was originally asked to join the Black Tower, but I feel my place is alongside those who need me."
(so, Cirithil has not one sword arm. He uses two swords most often, so both arms are sword arms.)

"Thank you. Do you think that you might want to practice?" Toram folded his arms on his chest and stood with his weight on one foot.
OOC: I knew you used both arms I read your bio. Also do you want a link to a page with the sword forms?

(Um, the one problem with that is Cirithil taught himself different forms, made through his own combat experience. I could use them as reference to know you attack I guess.)
"Of course," Cirithil smiled. He switched back to his vambraces and got two practice swords.

Kail had watched all this in silence. He decided this would be a good opportunity to gauge his newfound friends' skills. He decided he would watch quietly and evaluate the fruits of the Asha'man and the Younglins training, thus seeing which is stronger, and which could help him realize his dream of becoming a bladesmaster. He settled himself for a long lesson.

OOC: Warder Sword Forms I use this in my Asha'man training at DM. It is a really good resource, all you warders and younglings may want to use it. Toram flashed a quick smile. With his kind of training it was not neccessary to wear armor. In fact they frowned on it quite badly. Taking one of the swords he walked to the middle of the practice ring and assumed the void, getting into the ready stance called Lion on the Hill. Smiling at Cirithil he mocked him, "Come on pretty boy lets do this." OOC: I don't actually mean anything mean by the mocking, it's a way to distract your opponent.

[[ For the Warder uniforms:  I tried to stay cheep, but this is the best I was able to do while keeping it low at the same time. The total cost is 5574 gold give or take some if your in the market. - Also Moss, you can either be a warder or Asha'man. Pick one. ]]

OOC: Well Keian me and Orion figured that I could do a little training seeing as how there are no other Asha'man here. I would be posting by myself. And I don't think that the Amyrlin or whoever leads the Black Tower would mind, and if they did then they could say something.

"Kail, feel free to watch, or practice the forms." Looking to Toram, Cirithil assumed a simple stance he often used, left sword held in front, right one over his head, held horitontally. (OCC: Think Cervantes from Soul Caliber II, III, and IV). He took the void. He took a quick lunge forward, befor leaping to the right and slightly away. This quick footwork was meant to force the opponent to start.

Quickly turning his sword horizontal to deflect any incoming slash, Toram stepped back once to keep a bit of distance between them. With his longer arms he had an advantage. Not a whole lot with him having two swords, but some advantage. When Cirithil stopped his lunge Toram moved into the Hummingbird Kisses the Honeyrose. A quick thrust to the opponents face from shoulder height.

Using his front sword, Cirithil lifted the Hummingbird Kisses the Honeyrose so the thrust went over his head, and turned it away. He made a quick slash towards Toram's calf at the same time as his parry. His blow would have landed firmly, but unfortunately, this was too much strain on the already injured knee, and he lost his balance. Gripping his knee tightly he looked up. "Sorry, but I must cut this short. I'm a bit worn out for the day. If you'll excuse me, Toram, Kail, I think I'm going to rest." The sun had already dropped below the walls of the tower anyway, so he did not feel too bad for leaving the fields. Ending a match was a different story. "Toram, I'll gladly continue this tomorrow. If you wish to stay in Tar Valon, I would suggest the Falcon. Let the innkeeper know that I recomended it, and you should get a nice room for little coin."
[Continued to Tower Grounds]

Mossberg420 OOC: Well Keian me and Orion figured that I could do a little training seeing as how there are no other Asha'man here. I would be posting by myself. And I don't think that the Amyrlin or whoever leads the Black Tower would mind, and if they did then they could say something. [[I am in charge of the Black Tower at the moment as well as the Warders. I think though, before deciding anything yourself, you should have asked one of the mods (meaning Keliria, The Keeper, Me, Ect...) if it was okay. You decided it was alright before Orion became my 2nd, right? ]]

[If I may, Master Keian, the Black Tower had yet to have any information in its subforum when we began. Furthermore, you hadn't been on in two days. There was little to do, and all indications of the Amyrlin said those of the Black Tower were free to wander. Also, when he began RP'ing here, The Keeper had yet to be given to Branwen, and The Amyrlin Seat was also gone.]
