There was no turning back. Lucas was pissed off and he wanted to see this to the end. Not death, but some kind of finishing blow. He used his strength to wiggle out of the lock and wound his arm back for a punch as hard as he could muster. Kai was visibly worried, he had never seen either of them with such skill, and such anger. He popped his fingers nervously as he often did. He knew that trying to intervene would not end well, so he only sat back and hoped that it would stop soon. They were both so skilled that if the fight continued, lasting injuries could occur. At least, that's what he guessed.

She was startled by this. Why would a guest of the castle care to know her name? After a moment of dumbfounded silence she spoke: "Catriona." She looked up at the match; Pix was skilled. It brought back memories and they hurt her. Why didn't he remember? Was he just too drunk at the time?

((Fruit Cup and I are currently discussing the sick circumstances of a Half-Dragon like character used in noob RPs xD)) The man had a punch like a mule, if it hadn't been braced by the ground, he was sure his shoulder would be dislocated right now, he had manged to move last second and luckily avoided a direct blow to the chest, but he knew if he kept this up he'd lose, especially with his injury. Even without the injury, Lucas was atleast on the same level. "Truce?" He tried keeping the pain out of his voice.

There are no such things as coincidence.Evacy's jaw dropped. "You're kidding me. Pix is calling a truce? I'm shocked! Well, Catriona, do you happen to know him? Pix, I mean." she asked, looking at Catriona. There is only hitsuzen

Lucas grunted, shaking the pain out of his fist. He had punched so hard that his knuckles were throbbing. He got off of Pix and walked out of the stable, as calmy as he could muster. Kai was shaken. This was not something he was used to seeing.

Know him? Did she know him? She remembered him, certainly. She had been...taken advantage of by him. But she didn't really know him, did she? She shook her head and attempted a "No" but made no sound. And why was this woman talking to her? What could she gain from conversation with a maid?

He laid still for a moment then gathered the strength to pull himself up. Shaking a little he looked down and noticed that a small puddle of blood had formed under him, and blood was seeping through the armor. It was all that wench's fault, how many years back was it now? Three? Two? The wound in his back had never healed, he had never gotten the rest needed, always reopening it before it could fully heal.

There are no such things as coincidence."I see then." Evacy said. She wished she could detect lies, but Evacy was nothing like her mother. She noticed the blood under Pix, but said nothing. This 'spar' did not surprise Evacy at all. Pix was in a bad mood, and she had noticed this a little earlier. "Do we send for some bandages and wrap him up, or do we send for someone else to do that for us?" Evacy asked Cartriona. There is only hitsuzen

Bandages? She looked up and saw Pix's blood, being forcefully reminded of so long ago. She made to stand but her legs gave out beneath her from a combination of getting up too fast and the pain from last night. "I'm sure he'll be fine." she said quietly to her bread, unable to stand and convinced he would refused to be treated by anyone, anyway.

Evacy nodded. "Yes. Bandages. See Pix? He's bleeding. Well, I'll go call someone anyways." She left to call a maid to help Pix, and grabbed something to munch on along the way. There is only hitsuzen

((Well done, roleplaying a fight is hard. I'm gonna take a break for a bit. I might post some more later tonight.)) Lucas was off in his quarters. A nap was what he needed to keep him from staying bitter. The last thing he wanted to do was make everyone feel uneasy with him displaying a clearly angry appearance. He laid down on the matress and fell asleep rather quickly.
Kai got up quickly and walked inside the castle with his head down. He was deep in thought as went to his room to bathe. He realized this was the kind of fighting that won battles, promising to himself that he would aspire to fight like Lucas and Pix did. His thoughts then returned to the fight itself, as he remembered Pix getting up from a puddle of blood. That couldn't have been all Lucas's doing. He made a note to ask Pix what had happened later. But now he was in his room. He filled the tub with water and got in, trying to relax.

He was a little weary from blood loss but he could walk, he turned around and his attention was caught by Catriona's eyes, "******** no..." It all came back to him, they were the same eyes, the same hair, the same shy face as the one all those years ago. The two drunks had dragged her into an alley and Pix had followed them, being drunk himself, he wasn't sure why. When he had thrown them off her and went to check if she were ok, one of them snuck up on him and stabbed into him and dragged the knife down. The girl was scared and she ran away leaving him to die... "I.. remember you..."

Catriona's eyes widened in terror, a look she's found herself making quite a few times these past two days. She didn't take her eyes off of the bread in her lap. Those words. Those were the words she had been waiting to hear since she first recognized him. He had saved her life. So why was she so terrified now that she had heard them? Her eyes flew to the black stain in the dirt that was Pix's blood. Then it dawned on her; he had saved her, and she had run away, leaving him for dead in order to save herself. Could she really be blamed though? What would anyone else have done in her shoes? Would they have stayed, keeping themselves in danger? It was only human reflex...right? Her eyes snapped back to her bread and she must have looked like a terrified animal as she was sure that with her eyes so wide they would fall right out of her head.
