Crispin's mouth dropped open as Ennea did... a limit break. "Holy s**t..." He stared for a moment until a rumble from the dragon snapped him back to himself. "And I can do that?!" We can do... something like that? Shaiming sounded puzzled, as if he'd forgotten something. Quickly now, Crispin. Release my power...He had no idea how to even begin doing that, but the dragon was there with him, in his mind, guiding him mentally through a strange twist as he moved the glaive in front of him in an awkward block position- And white fire erupted from the blade, as if the dragon's head there had breathed it out - flame that settled over Crispin, flaring over him and running down every limb in an instant. He could barely breathe, fear and wonder fighting in him for supremacy as the pattern of glowing scales formed over his flesh. And then, with a snap, the brightness vanished. Ahh.... Shaiming sounded both satisfied and disappointed. Yes. That is it. That is my power. Though there was more, I thought... He was puzzled again, for a moment, but moved on. It did not work, this time, but it will in the future."What... what was that?" He sounded like he was asking both Ennea and Shaiming. My scales, shared with you. To protect you... when they stick properly. There was that faint disappointment again, but this time it was clear Shaiming was frustrated with himself and not Crispin.

"Hm." Ennea said. She peered at the haze of glowing scales that surrounded Crispin but before she could get a good look they suddenly disappeared.
"I think... you created a barrier or some kind?" She tried to smile reassuringly. "I know it's not as flashy as a tornado but it's a useful skill! There have been plenty of times when I wished I could shield myself better."
She poked Crispin with her axe, more of a prod than an attack with any real intent. "Don't worry, you'll get the hang of it." Ennea twirled her axe and brought it into a ready position. "Shall we continue with our duel?"

"That was so cool," Crispin sighed; you could almost see the stars in his eyes. Then he flinched when Ennea poked him. "Yep! Yep... okay, lemme see here... solid stance, and..." Something clicked - he must have gotten the stance right, because when the glaive came around this time it swung in a smooth arc, with the momentum of his body behind it. Crispin looked startled at his own competence. HP: 24/40 Damage: 8 Charge: Expended

Crispin's attacks were getting noticeably smoother. "Good, good." Ennea winced and shook out her hand; that last blow had smarted a bit. "You're getting better at syncing with your weapon." She feinted at Crispin with her axe. "Now, do it again." Attack: 0 HP: 22/40 Charge: 0/3

Crispin flinched a bit at the feint, but found Shaiming waiting to 'catch' his movement before he could stumble back too far. He could feel the dragon guiding his movements - not commanding them, or forcing him, but making subtle, almost subliminal suggestions and corrections. He repeated the same movement as his previous strike, and found it easier and a bit swifter this time. The shock of impact still made his hands sting. Yeah, he was definitely going to request some gloves. HP: 24/40 Damage: 8 Charge: Expended

Ennea had to admit Crispin hit pretty hard once he got going and focused. She hopped a couple quick times to ease the string of that last attack. It was probably going to leave a nice bruise on her thigh tomorrow.
She swung back, another weak attack.

Crispin shuffled forward after Ennea, but his movements were awkward and his next strike was off-balance and slow. His arms were really starting to burn now. "Geez... how do you build up the strength to do this?" he panted. Ennea's poise with her weapon far outstripped his own, though strangely enough his strikes seemed to be stronger.

Ennea shrugged. "Time. Training. Not wanting to die." She smiled wryly at the last. "I always found 'not wanting to get horribly mauled' a big motivator for combat improvement."
She swung at Crispin again but it was another weak attack. Despite her bravado she was beginning to flag too.

"Not... dying... is good," Crispin panted; he felt a surge of protectiveness from the dragon and lifted the glaive. Not when I am with you, Shaiming said, fiercely, and guided him through another strike. HP: 22/40 Damage: 6 Charge: Expended

"Nngh." Ennea blocked Crispin's attack as best she could but she was definitely getting winded. She grimly did a return swipe with her axe but it was a weak attack at best.

Hold, Crispin, Shaiming said, and he nodded, immediately shifting the glaive up and grounding the butt. Ennea was looking worn and shaky - even moreso than he was, his relative lack of fitness notwithstanding.
"Are you all right? We can stop - I don't want to hurt you," he said, concerned.

"I'm fine." Ennea said shortly. Truthfully she wasn't feeling fine but she wasn't about to admit that to Crispin. She shakily wiped her brow and then dropped back into a ready combat stance. Her axe felt heavy in her hands.
"Focus on your own fighting." She said.

Crispin looked uneasy, but he nodded and lifted the glaive once more. Perhaps it was weariness, or his sense of chivalry, but his initial strike was slow and came up short.

"Stop that!" Ennea snapped at Crispin. "Fight like you mean it!"
This was no longer a simple instructional training match to Ennea. Her pride was pricked and she was angry; more at herself than at Crispin though. She was pathetic, so much so that a stupid wide-eyed newbie hunter who thought this all was a game was going to beat her.
Somewhere in her mind Ennea heard the rustle of leathery wings.
Instantly her anger was directed inwards. You shut up!! She bristled at the ahriman. The rustling ceased but Ennea could feel her weapon's disdain like a sour taste in her mouth. It only made her angrier.
Grinding her teeth Ennea turned and swung hard at Crispin with as much force her tired arms could muster.

Crispin winced at Ennea's angry shout, then yelped aloud at the sudden hard attack; he nearly fell, but used the glaive to catch himself and regain his balance. "O-okay!" he said, a little shakily; if she was hitting that hard, maybe everything was fine after all...
Shaiming's uneasiness was still present, but Crispin jabbed at Ennea with a sense of purpose. His aim was off, but his brow was furrowed in concentration.
