The edges of Reeve's vision get all blurry and dim as he tries to hook his leg behind hers and pull it, hopefully causing him to fall on top of her.

She could feel his grip getting weaker, and she yanked her arm away, shoving him forward and kicking out hard at his back, to the left of his spine.

Her kick knocking what little air is left out of his lungs, Reeve spins around once due to her kick's location before tumbling into the fountain.
"Checkmate..."

Nyl sighed and sat down on the grass, breathing hard. "Good. I was out of ideas."

He drags himself out of the fountain with a damp thud.
"Me too. And breath."

"You okay?" She looked up at him, somewhere between laughing hysterically and just passing out.

"Well, let's recap," he says, actually allowing himself a grin. "I'm sore, cold, wet, and I just got it handed to me by a girl. All in all, I'm about as good as it gets."

"So you're usual." She waved a hand at him and the water separated itself from his clothes, dropping back into the fountain. "And now you're better than usual, because you're not wet." She grinned back.

"Thanks, Nyl."
He moves to sit next to her on the grass.
"Are you okay?"

"I think so. Can't say for when the adrenaline wears off, though." She laughed quietly. "I doubt I'll feel this good tomorrow."

"Tell you what. If you feel bad tomorrow, I'll make you some tea, okay?"
He stretches languidly and stands, offering her his hand to help her up.
"I'm going inside-coming?"

"Sure." She took his hand and pulled herself up, then followed him inside. "I think I'm just going to bed, though."
((Which is what I am doing also, ne. Night Reeve!))

Reeve doesn't even make it that far, crashing on the couch, with, for the first time in a while, a smile on his face.
((Night, Nyl!))

He wakes with a start on the couch. His gear-he'd left it outside! How foolish! He runs to the fountain and finds it all there, thankfully. Buckling on his sword and coiling the chains inside his sleeves, Reeve sighs, comfortably encumbered by useful weight.
"That was close."

*coming in whipeing off a trail of sweat Zyphier's eyes scan the main room looking for people. He had become quite comfortable in his new home and as he sat down he pulled out a scroll studying handsigns and there meanings and uses.*
