Grave stepped in to find the Arena empty except for a Pool Boy sweeping in one far corner. He held the door open for Kallisto and smiled. "Are you ready?" He asked, fingering his technorings and mentally preparing himself for another duel.

 Kallisto ducked through the door and smiled appreciatively. She mentally ran over the things she'd had equipped by Kortus not too long ago. "I think so. We'll find out either way."
She bobbed her head as she made her way down the Arena floor, checking to make sure Grave was following. Kallisto didn't really have a way of getting into the mindset for a duel - she just always looked forward to them. Especially her duels with Grave - he provided a challenge that always made her want to do better and be better.

Grave followed after her and stretched out his fingers, getting ready to perform his mudras and prepare himself. He took his stand and and readied his stance. He took a deep breath adn exhaled, bringing loose fists up in front of him. "Alright, I'm ready. Ladies first!"

 Kallisto breathed deeply, relaxing her body and grinned, settling into the now very familiar stance - neutral and ready. As he spoke, she laughed softly, "Such a gentleman."
With that, she started off simple, aiming a strong Punch his way as she stepped in. She was much more balanced from the last time.

 Grave folded his left hand into Bhudy Mudra and focused. He felt full of clarity, and saw the punch coming in with pristine detail. He could use his Dash, and get behind her on the far side of that punch if he moved...now! Grave dashed forward, trying to slip past the incoming punch and wind up just past Kallisto's shoulder.

 Kallisto frowned as Grave moved towards her, obviously trying to slip around to her side but the punch connected and her knuckles ached. That had been unexpected! She coughed slightly, looking at the Academic with concern. Was he alright?
Nonetheless, she erred on the side of caution and settled slightly, using the skill Focus to aid her in her readiness.

 Grave doubled over, his shoulder sending a shooting pain all the way down to his fingertips as the Kinesthetic knuckles crunched into his collarbone. He gritted his teeth to keep from wimpering and tapped his Aero Boots into activation. Then pushing off with both feet to give himself some distance he jumped up as far as he could, Aero Boots whirring away at his ankles.

 Kallisto paused slightly, feeling a little guilty. She'd take him to the Infirmary after this. If that had hurt her fist, then it had to have hurt his collarbone.
She activated her own techno equips, the Hoverboots, and surged forward as she kicked off. Feinting to the right and then dancing to the left in an effort to Grave into a more opportune position to attack.
Just because he was her friend didn't mean she was going to go easy on him.

 Grave saw Kallisto activate her Hover boots and drift up behind him. Damn, not nearly as much of an edge as he was hoping for. He tapped his hip to call out Socrates and kicked out at her with a roundhouse style kick.

 Kallisto laughed as Socrates was called out, "I didn't know you had a familiar!" She began to move her arms up into a block only to remember what Kortus had said about getting near Aero boots. Dropping her guard, she tried to Dodge, dancing out of the way - she'd rather avoid being lacerated. She may be Kinesthetic but that didn't make her unbreakable.
The kick connected and stung her with with the blades of the miniature wings. "Hey! Be careful!" She frowned slightly, releasing Cecil in response to Socrates and giving Grave a stern look as she tried to shake off the daze of being kicked.

 Grave actually managed to connect his puck, punting with the toe of his boot. Even though he aimed with the toe, the aeroboot blades still whirred dangerously close to her skin, and he wondered if perhaps he ought to resign himself to useing his less-effective punches. "Socrates! Camoflauge!" Grave called, and the stoney gargoyle clasped onto Grave's shoulder with his talons, making Grave and his gargoyle invisible. Grave threw his strong Right arm punch.

 Kallisto frowned as she narrowed her eyes. He'd gone invisible but that didn't mean she couldn't hear the whir of his Aeroboots. So instead of stepping away as one might normally do, she stepped forward with her guard up hoping to feel where he was.
She blocked and ducked her head behind her crossed arms, trying to figure out what to do. She needed to get that invisibility off him somehow.... maybe kicking him off?
Too late to react the punch connected and she fell back, dazed a bit. It hadn't been from where she was expecting! Huffing, she settled into a purely defensive stance, proud of Grave for getting the upper hand and just a tad sour that she was losing. Apparently he'd put a great deal of practice into this.
She Focused instead, relying more on her other senses like hearing.

((Taro, I think zeros should have two actions per post instead of one so that they can respond to an action. It'll allow for more tactics, I think, and be a little more realistic because nobody's going to block and then do nothing. What do you think?))

 Amazed that he hit her, he forgot for an instant that he was invisible. He folded his left into Pran Mudra to target her solar plexus, and hopefully wind her. Then he wound up for a strong punch with his dominant right arm and aimed.

((I think the way it worked in P.E. class was that you hit, you partner tries to block, and regardless of whether your partner succeeds or fails they then have the turn to hit. But that's elementary stuff. Grave and Kallisto I think are beyond that sort of waiting, and they can do both out of order based on tactics. So yeah, 2 moves per turn, then?))
