Rhone suddenly bursts out laughing...almost uncontrollably. As he slowly calms himself and wipes a tear out of his eye, he levels his gaze with Izzy.
Normally, yes, but I've been in the best shape of my life for nearly 200 years.......yaknow what? I kinda like you. You've got some real spirit. I bet with some training, you'd make an excellent swordsman. I tell ya what. If you wish, I'd like a sparring match. I want to see your skill. I'll wait outside. Come if you wish.
Rhone walks outside the lounge and leans his back against a nearby tree with his arms crossed and his hat down. One of his feet was on the ground, and the other was against the tree. This was Rhone's standard relaxed pose.

Axis had his head in a book, much like Izzy had not too long ago, but the discussion muddled and twisted the words on the page. Things were growing out of context, and this part seemed to be one of the juicy ones. Yellow eyes moved to look over the book at the sickening contest before him, the thin lenses of his glasses having slid down his nose a bit, in order to better view the book. Axis sighed as one of them finally left. "A waste." He muttered, still angered by the interruption of his reading. He drew a sigh to calm himself, and then restarted the page.

Izzy shrugged and followed Rhone. He decided not to go full power, no matter what. "Very well. Sparring is fine with her. I'll give you your match." Izzy drew the sword and dulled the blade (Ever read Eragon?) with a special arte. He smiled.
"I'll say one thing - We use our normal 'human' abilities. As I can tell, you too have some secret power. Artes are acceptable. I won't use my full power, and neither will you." He smirked evilly again.. "After all, we may need it later, should we ever come into battle for real. Those rules seem fair?"
(To clarify, basically what he's saying is no use of transformations, mystic artes, or spells.)

Rhone grins and stands up. the large red exsphere on his shoulder began to glow slightly.
Well..I have to use a little power to get my combat abilities up, but I won't use anything additional that would make this unfair. just the required ammount that allows me to fight.
He bends his elbow so that his hand is able to grasp the area directly in front of the gem on his exphere. Suddenly, a blue handle appears in his hand, and Rhone draws a red-bladed katana out of his exsphere. he dulls it's power as well.
En garde!!
He stands straight with his sword pointing to the ground at his side, his eyes peering beyond Izzy's. Almost as if Rhone was trying to look through him.
(Rhone fights using his mana to create his weapon, which is either mana-infused punches, the katana, a large sword, or a weapon I haven't revealed yet, but for the sake of it being a sparring match, he'll just use the katana.)

Izzy thought about Rhone's stance. It looked as if he was waiting for the first attack, a defensive strategy. Izzy decided it would be best to predict this fighter's moves, rather than his original style of just running in. The man seemed to have no fear in his eyes, even with the blood stains that were already on his clothes.
This may be fun.
He started swinging his sword over his head at rapid speed, then shouldered it - his own stance. He waited to see if Rhone moved first - If Izzy's judgment was correct, the stance and weapon type Rhode used was based purely on defense. If he could lure him into attacking...
Izzy raised a brow. He couldn't use Infinity, so he'd just have to...
He ran to an angle to try to throw Rhode off track of his movements. His best guess was to be as unpredictable as possible. Before long, he was running in circles around him, just out of reach.
(You' be best to remember Izzy's Speed Strength and Stamina. Its a tough combination to beat. Also remember he can counter and defend against short range attacks easily, due to the size of his sword and how fast he can swing it. It'd be best to try to hit him with some kind of ranged or light attack.)

Rhone smiles a bit as he watches Izzy run around him.
I can do that too, yaknow.
After waiting for just the right moment, Rhone dashes just behind Izzy and runs behind him at the exact same speed, laughing the entire time.
The hell are you trying to do, anyway?
(The only spell Rhone knows is First Aid. He's all melee.)

Cerberus had walked out to watch the small fight. Then he had a good idea. "Hey you guys mind if I join in?"

Just as he had hoped. Izzy stopped abruptly as Rhone began to run behind him. He turned around and jumped into the air. "Dark Tempest!" Izzy flew torwards Rhone with great force, attempting to knock him back, spinning his sword.
(You know what "tempest" looks like.)

Hmph...Predictable.
Rhone jumps sideways to the right slightly to get out of the way, and the second Izzy's flipping body is directly to his left, He thrusts his sword at his side.

Izzy's instincts kicked in and the instant he landed, he put his sword out, blocking it with the wide part of the blade, now that the Rhone's sword was at his own in such a manner, it was easy for him for push towards him in a quick jolt, shoving him back.
He swiftly swung his sword back, then he smashed it into the ground. "Demon Fang!"
Such a pitiful arte. It was an attack almost any child with a sword could use; but it would work for what he needed it for.

Rhone chuckles before launching a demon fang of his own to counteract Izzy.
A demon fang? Really?
Rhone swings his sword horizontally as a crescent-shaped red energy slash began flying at Izzy.
Crimson Rend!!

"Damn!" Izzy jumped to the side as fast as he could, but wasn't fast enough, and was hit slightly by the attack in the arm. It wasn't a serious hit, though. "..That was stupid of me.. I didn't expect two attacks. I was gonna run in as you waited for the smoke to clear.. But it appears you're not patient enough to wait for such things. I should have seen that coming." He swung his now injured arm back, cracking it, then put it back on his sword handle. "It won't happen again."
He smiled. "Lets see... How you are against this." He couldn't use infinity, so the attack wound be as effective.. but it should still have the same effect. "Black-End..." The sword began to glow an eerie blue color. "...Blast!" Izzy swung and a blue with black edges wave attack with as big as his sword flew out of the air that he slashed at, heading dead on for Rhone. Using his speed, Izzy ran right next the the blast. His idea was to go around Rhone while the blast broke into his defenses.

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to do that..."Colette skipped into the lounge. She began to look around, seeing not many people here. In fact, only one. "Uhm..hi! Anyone else here?" She already said this, but it wasn't long until she heard voices from outside, and artes being called. No big, nasty artes although, so they were most likely just sparring or toying around. She didn't understand who though.. "...I'm just clumsy!"

Izzy's arte completely disappeared and Izzy stopped running. His eyes opened wider and he smiled turning his head to the door. "Colette?! You're here?"
