What with the battle having come to a very amazing end, Unisha's attention was quick to go on to Ephraim, her caring nature was something she couldn't stop, nor did she want to! Not only did she know by observation over the much time spent around him, that he did enjoy his battles, but she was good at picking up the tiniest drop in his mood. Something appeared to be bothering him before she began to speak with him, and thus, the caring princess just had to step up! "Just observation, We Serentiains aren't allowed to read into everyone's mind, that would be quite the privacy invasion. Though, there are times when ones thoughts can be...a little loud, and there for impossible to hear at times, though that is rarer. Often times it's when someone becomes very flustered. Just know I wouldn't invade the privacy of someone's own mind. " She said with a small smile. "Though, if you want to test how strong your mind is against me, I could fluster you a little! " Unisha playfully gave him a little wink!
"He,he..I hope that if you do, you ensure there are enough of us healers around for you! " Of course, she was teasing, she didn't necessarily th ink he would win against BOTH of them, but who knew? He was very well skilled on his own! He had shown that time and time again.
As their conversation become a little more on the serious side, Unisha had to admit, she was a little surprised by his agreement, it was nice to hear his understanding of what she was trying to say, it was easy for some to become irritated with the little lecture, though clearly that was not what she was trying to do. She really did want him to relax, and enjoy all that he could. There was much to life other then constantly falling into battle and sparing! "That is a fine answer! I'm glad to hear you are taking this seriously.." She did wonder, what was he like when he was actually one hundred percent relaxed? Did such a thing ever happen? Did he even know how to really relax? It wasn't until his last question, that answer would come to her. "Oh..You know, relaxing doesn't just mean laying in the sand, or sitting in a beach chair, sipping a icy drink.. There can be other ways for you to relax, in the great King Ephraim sort of way! " The playfulness in her voice was growing strong. Just what did she have in mind! "How about this....A more, fun based 'duel' if you want to call it that. Think of it as a game of tag, even! It will be fun, with no pain involved! --- What do you say if I test your skill against my vines? You get to be the little mouse my vines will chase and try to grab! If I grab you before you reach me, well, it would be a game over for you! If you on the other hand can reach me, then it's game over for me! " What better way for Ephraim to find a way to relax, it still in a way, managed to test his skills, but in a much more amusing, fun way!

 ___ ___  _________   ___ ___ "I know I must place my duty as a commander above my life as a man. And once I am crowned, I most certainly will do exactly that.
However, I am not ready to divorce myself from my compassion just yet. I will find the balance somehow, the means to save my country and her people.
That is the king I wish to become, and so that is the man I must be." "...I see. I do remember Alisa mentioning something about reading minds without consent being considered taboo at times. And yet she does it to me rather often." That's how it seemed at least, but perhaps Alisa just knew him really well and didn't need to read his mind. Or maybe she just did and didn't care about customs. Who knew! "...I don't know if you'd be able to fluster-" then came her wink, and he felt his heart skip a beat, and he turned his face quickly as he felt its heat increase! Maybe it wouldn't be as difficult as he believed! It didn't help how... ridiculously gorgeous the woman was. That along with her cute personality, it was no surprise so many men--and women--vied for her affection. All Serenitians were attractive, but Unisha... was really in a league of her own.
"It sounds like I don't have your confidence. I'll look forward to seeing your expression when I prove you wrong." Not that he could really blame her. After that display, anyone beating even one of them seemed hard to imagine, much less both at once! Though Ephraim had a knack for making the impossible achievable. Regardless of the outcome though, he certainly wanted to do that fight!
Putting a hand to his chin, he listened to her giving her opinion about relaxation. It certainly seemed an unorthodox way to "relax," but it did seem exactly his style. "I didn't anticipate this would be a way of challenging me, while relaxing. Though if you think it'll work... it does seem like it would be interesting." He said, lowering his arms. "Though, if I win this little challenge, I hope you'll agree with the opportunity to have a serious duel with me later on, Princes Unisha. Seeing what you're capable of firsthand would be helpful." Another reason duels were so valuable to him, it helped him see firsthand the strengths and weaknesses of his allies, which helped him plan better for serious battles. That's why he tried to duel as many as he could! Or at least, it was one reason. "And perhaps help me set up a duel with Phoenix. Though she always talks big about dueling, it always seems as though there's an excuse waiting when I try to challenge her to an actual match. Perhaps she's actually rather cowardly beneath all that bravado." He said that playfully, and it would only make it better if Phoenix was secretly listening to them or Unisha told her what he said later! It was pretty clear how comfortable he was with her, though, given he still referred to Unisha as Princess Unisha, while he just referred to Phoenix without any title. Dropping her title wasn't something he did on purpose necessarily, it just showed how close the two were after all their time together in this world! (( OOC: ))

"Well....it IS Alisa.." As if anything surprised her when it came to Alisa's non-existent innocence! It wasn't like anything would happen to them if they choose to do it, but mostly, the good respectful Serenitians tended to follow that rule! Not everyone was so innocent, much like Lily who was far to curious for her own good. She was her elf-mother's daughter for sure! As Unisha's attempt to bring the confidant king to a flustering mess appeared to work, she giggled softly, stepping to the side he tried to hide that blushing face to, and reaching out her hand to place a finger playfully under his chin, as her eyes went right to his. There was no hiding that red face! "You were saying? He,he...I should feel as though I just won a battle against you. You said you didn't think I could, but I did! You're as red as Phoenix's hair! It's quite cute to see you blush, King Ephraim." While she didn't often use the formality's on all other royalties, sometimes in the moment, she would find the right time to address him properly. Still, she didn't think anything of her own status, while on this world, they were misplaced princess's, Queens, and Kings. Not only that, it avoided unnecessary conflict against foes that might use that to their advantages. Ransoming royalties wasn't impossible.
"At everything else, you certainly do! Though those two...well, I suppose we'll see at some point, won't we? " She had a strong feeling, no matter what, at some point he would be dueling against the two. "Hmm? Oh, is it strange? I thought that might be something you would like more. A relaxing more suited to you. As long as it's fun, it's relaxing! " She nodded to his suggestion, although she didn't often take up opportunities to duel, he wasn't weak, she didn't worry to much about hurting him, her abilities weren't exactly violent or really that dangerous, and she might be defeated pretty quick if he got passed her vines, but hey, it was something to test herself against. "Then that is what we will do, should you win this challenge! I don't have a lot of skills in the field of battle, but I can probably make it more interesting for you.." Regardless how it went, it did sound at least a little fun. She was getting a little bored, anyway! "Oh, I don't think it's so much that she's afraid to have a duel with you, I think she's just worried about hurting you. She leaned in closer, as though to speak lower so that only he could hear. "She cares to much about you, you know. I can tell, and I see that you too share a close bond with her too! Although she can never bring herself to admit it, it's very obvious. " The adorable brotherly and sisterly relationship they had was to cute.

However, I am not ready to divorce myself from my compassion just yet. I will find the balance somehow, the means to save my country and her people.
That is the king I wish to become, and so that is the man I must be."As Ephraim tried to turn his face away, he didn't end up particularly successful as he was immediately faced with the playful princess, letting out a slight grunt as he felt her finger beneath his chin. As if that wasn't enough to melt him, he also ended up forced to gaze into her... lovely, hypnotic eyes. Any resistance he showed seemed to immediately melt beneath her gaze as he just stared listlessly into her beautiful eyes for a little too long! His thoughts were swimming around with disbelief about how anyone could be this... ridiculously cute, and so very gorgeous. It was really something...! "Y-you win..." He muttered, just mindlessly agreeing with her in his haze!"Excuuuuse me..." A finger pushed away Unisha's own from Ephraim's chin, as the short yet absurdly powerful young woman appeared there, putting her hands on Unisha's shoulders from behind and leaning forward, her chin over her shoulder. "I dominated your SO devout guardian, do you know what that means? It means you are my prisoner, Princess Unisha. The princess's defense was crushed, so she's been kidnapped! You understand? You're mine until I decide otherwise! So, be obedient, or I'll have to take you away in bondage...""...I didn't agree to this." Orpheus said as she also appeared there, shoving Ephraim backwards! "Back off.""I don't care! I'll dominate you again if I have to!""Hey now! Unisha has been MY prisoner this whole time, you can't just take her without getting past me!" And now here Shez was."I already got past you when I was suppressing my power, idiot.""Hey, I beat Ephraim twice, who beat you! That means I'm the strongest here, and if anyone should get to spend time with Princess Unisha, it should be me!" And Kaden. Of course when people seem to be trying to get Unisha's affection, rather than it being one or two, it's an entire group!"And yet I destroyed you in a couple of seconds before LETTING Ephraim have a victory. I am OBVIOUSLY the strongest person here no matter how you try to qualify it. Isn't that right, Princess Unisha? Go ahead, tell them you want to be my prisoner.""Uh, no! Unisha enjoys being MY prisoner! Isn't that right? Unisha?""Come on... us growing closer will bring our kingdoms closer too! Wouldn't that be better than these weirdos? Princess Unisha?""...Unisha would rather be around me. We have a lot to catch up on..."Ephraim had been pretty silent through this entire exchange. He thought ANOTHER duel was going to happen once Carmen showed up, which wouldn't have been a bad thing. But now it seemed like if a fight was going to happen, it was going to be more than just a duel! He let out a small sigh, looking at Unisha. "You seem rather popular." He said somewhat playfully. Of course she was, that wasn't exactly surprising. But who would've expected it to turn into this! (( OOC: ))

Unisha's smile grew as she looked into his pretty blue eyes, his eyes were quite captivating, she had to admit, he was quite the handsome king. "It looks like I did, battle may not be my forte, but bringing a cute blush to ones face I may be good at. " She winked playfully again, before her attention would be driven to..well, someone else! That someone whom suddenly was standing there behind her, and seeming rather confidant about her incredible win! "Hmm..? " She turned now towards her, giving enough warning as she slowly began to turn so that Carmen would be able to move. "That was quite a show, I was very impressed by both of you! " In the next few moments, Unisha would find her popularity was....quite intense, not only did she attract both Carmen and Orpheus, but Shez and Kaden as well. For the first time, it was Unisha who became a bit flustered! Though she also secretly was enjoying the attention she was getting! How could she not? It certainly made her feel loved! Maybe a bit to much? "Oh my..Do I emit a unknown hypnotic energy that makes everyone think of me as their own? " She reached out, putting her arms around both Orpheus, and Carmen, pulling them closer to her, but they might notice the hold upon them wasn't quite as gentle! Even more so, they might start to feel their ability to move ceased, as....Unisha's beloved vines wrapped right around the two's legs and upper body, all the while she had her arms around them with the most innocent looking face! Shez would feel the vines creep around her too, and the only one spared was...Kaden! He was the only one of them who seemed to be a little nicer about it, more respectful! "The truth is, my dears...I'm not a trophy to be won, though I did enjoy watching you both show how strong you are in battle, i'm not about to let a duel choose my fate! " Carmen would feel the vines around her tighten just a little, as Unisha addressed her with a continued innocent smile. " I can still defend myself, silly Carmen! I'm not quite your prisoner yet! " That joke was quite amusing, though, coming from Carmen did stir a little excitement. Though it seemed this whole ordeal, everyone trying to be with her this way was also quite the experience to make for a slightly giddy princess! "Ah-ha...I'm sorry! But I'm going to have to kindly decline everyone's...wishes! I am not a trophy!! " The vines around those still captured would finally fade into the ground, as she turned back to Ephraim.........suddenly stepping forward and grabbing onto his arm! "I made a promise to help Ephraim relax, and that is what I am going to do! " She began to push him forward, AWAY from everyone else! It was quite the amusing sight, really! "This must be what it feels like for you, everyone wanting to duel you..! " Probably not the same, but it may as well should be!

Carmen "Maybe you're just so adorable, it makes people want to push you around?" Carmen lightly mused. Though she felt herself start to blush a bit as Unisha suddenly grabbed her, and... Orpheus. Was she trying to get a three-way going? ...Well, with how hot Orpheus was, she supposed she wouldn't mind. But then came the vines... "Oh boy, good thing I'm not Alisa..." She muttered slightly. Imagine if she was involved in this right now! As Orpheus and Shez began to struggle against the powerful vines, Carmen rolled her eyes, grinning slightly. "Is that it?" She waved her wrist, and suddenly, the vines would leap off her and enwrap themselves around Unisha! Quite the surreal experience it would be, trapped in her own vines, which now were no longer responding to her silent commands. Carmen's grin turned to smirk, as she leaned forward slightly, arms behind her back. "Mm... how about now?" "Not quite her prisoner yet?" That didn't last very long, did it! Leaning forward as another Carmen materialized out of holy fire on the other side of her, both of them gave Unisha a small kiss on both her cheeks, as a cute little way to drive in how helpless she was right now! Both leaned back, giving her a little wink before one of them vanished in the same holy fire."If you're trying to help Ephraim relax, then... whoever helps him relax the most gets a date with you! How about that?""Oh, good idea. He'll relax great beneath my shoe after I beat him for the third time!""I have a better idea," Carmen said, pointing at Unisha with one hand, which erected a thin barrier around her. "SLEEP." Her voice boomed out, echoing among everyone else there not protected by that barrier. And almost instantly, Kaden was right down to the ground, then a moment later, Shez, then, after several more moments of trying to prevent it, Orpheus knelt down and ended up falling asleep as well. "...There we go, Princess Unisha. Now it's just you and me. Having company can be anno-""Ughh..." Ephraim shook his head quickly, inhaling sharply before standing up straight, the sleepiness leaving his eyes after several moments."..." Carmen looked at him with a blank expression. "...But not as annoying as that! Stop resisting my Power Words, stupid king!!""...I'm surprised Orpheus didn't resist it.""Nobody does!!" She said, lowering the barrier around Unisha. "Just you! I've used that spell over a thousand times--1,334 to be precise--and it's only failed twice, and both are against you! You are SO frustrating!!" She had hoped him resisting her full power one before was just some kind of crazy fluke, but he did it again!
"Not that it matters..." She muttered, and Ephraim let out a slight grunt as the same sort of vines suddenly shot up, ensnaring him as well and pulling him down to his knees. With everyone around her pacified, and Unisha bound by her own vines and at the Archmage's mercy, Carmen leaned forward slightly, brushing her index under Unisha's chin to bring her eyes to her own, forcing her to stare into her eyes as Carmen smirked. "Well, Princess Unisha? No more little tricks for me? I think... that makes you... my prisoner." Her smirk widened. "The princess has been captured."(( OOC: ))

"SLE-"But her mouth was suddenly covered, as the tall woman was upon her, and with a small shriek, Carmen was flipped over and planted onto her back, causing the vines to suddenly recede. Shez and Kaden both drew their weapons, ready to fight for the princess! Yet a forceful hand lowering Unisha preceded a wide swing around her from Orpheus, which quite literally shattered Shez's two swords and Kaden's spear. Both stood there for several moments, eyes widening at the skill and... absurd strength displayed. Their hearts sank in unison. ...They had... no chance. "...Kneel." Orpheus said commandingly, her fierce eyes narrowing. "I won't ask again." ...Kaden's knees immediately met the ground, while Shez... slowly... dropped to her hands and knees."A-ahaha..." Carmen let out in a mix of fear and... partial arousal. Orpheus looked even taller when she was down on the ground, looking up at her. And gods, she was hot. Especially when she was acting so commanding... taking full control of the situation. "N-no hard feelings... right? ...Ung!"Planting her boot on Carmen to keep her firmly in place beneath her, Orpheus's eyes locked in on the princess before her. Her eyes narrowed again, just at the thought that anyone else thought they could take her! She realized at that moment... just how possessive she was. And what she really felt for Unisha. "You. Are. Mine." She said forcefully, grabbing Unisha and bringing her into a rough kiss! She leaned hard against her, as this kiss was meant not only to establish who she belonged to to HER, but also to those around them. So she was perhaps a bit more forceful and dominant than she needed to be! (( OOC: ))

"I--I don't think that entirely fits for someone who is 'adorable'! "Carmen had quite the interesting thoughts! If that were true, there was a lot of girls in their little group that were going to be pushed around! As Unisha decided to step up this game of fun and teases by 'capturing' them in her vines, her smiling, beaming face showed just how much she believed she won in over-powering them. Given who the two were, she had every right to be proud of herself! It wasn't easy to get the best of Carmen or Orpheus!
But then, that smile of confidence was very short lived when the vines practically leapt off Carmen, and instead would enwrap their original creator instead! Well! ...That was a bit embarrassing! "..!" The tint of red over-taking her cheeks was unavoidable, more so when Carmen leaned forward with that confidant look on her face! "...Ah..." As if being ensnared in her own vines wasn't enough, the teasing she received would cause her to blush deeper as Carmen and..her apparent surprise of a clone, kissed her at either side of her blushing cheeks. "....I-It appears you've won this round.." Clearly Carmen made her win, and she was offically her prisoner!
Or so they would think. She was about to deny Shez's question, clearly she didn't understand her idea of how to help Ephraim relax, no would Kaden! Her mind wasn't on battle as hers probably was! Before she could answer though, Carmen would make her next attempt to ensure Unisha was with her, only it didn't quite go so well as she planned! It was Orpheus who would now steal the show, and...very quickly get the princess's attention. It wasn't hard to see by the admiring, dreamy-like stare who she was so very entranced in. Why was everything she did SO amazing? Even....completely destroying Shez and Kaden's precious weapons without breaking a sweat..! The way everyone trembled in fear over the powerful Exemplar just made her all the more giddy, really, she did look a little silly practically fangirling over her very long lost, amazingly powerful friend!
It wasn't until the next moment came, when she realized Orpheus was now looking at her, that she felt herself melt a bit into those eyes, they were so intimidating, but also so fierce and amazing. Before she could react much, the princess felt herself grabbed suddenly after words that brought excitement to her heart and mind! It was also in that moment she was brought close to her, and into a very amazing, rough kiss! Unisha's shocked blue eyes widened at the sudden surprise, only to close a moment later, and her arms went up to settle around her, with how hard she was leaning her body against her as they kissed, she almost felt as though they might fall over! It was to amazing of a kiss to really care, though!

OrpheusOrpheus certainly had been swept up in the moment to act so "improperly" with the princess. Truly a terrible thing, considering how Unisha was so OBVIOUSLY not enjoying this at all. She would surely be reprimanded for this act. With how forward and dominant Orpheus was acting along with the staggering height difference between the two, it made for a pretty humorous scene. Orpheus was likely the tallest person on the entire island, man or woman, at 6'4.
As she finally released the princess from this awful thing she clearly forced upon her, she turned swiftly, swinging her blade at the last person who remained on his feet--and Ephraim, to his credit, deflected the strike without his weapon breaking. Astonishing! "Do I need to fight you, too?""I certainly welcome the challenge... but as Princess Unisha said herself, she isn't a trophy to be won. Not that I would try, per se... I think Phoenix is more my type." He said that last part jokingly, though... a moment later there was some noticeable heat in his face and his heart skipped a beat. He realized maybe it was less of a joke than he thought..."I'm certainly flattered, but at least buy me dinner first." Carmen said from beneath Orpheus's heel, as if he was at all talking about her! Very funny, given her phoenix-like appearance."How did you deflect that attack?!" Kaden asked in disbelief, as his shattered spear and his kneeling body would explain."...He's a worthy warrior. You aren't." Orpheus stated in the most plain way possible. Still, any battle between them could wait until later, since he wasn't trying to objectify Unisha and "take" her! Turning toward the princess now, she fell silent for a moment. "...I acted without thought. I was driven by emotion, which is unusual for me... I shouldn't have done that without asking. I apologize." Thank GOODNESS she apologized, because Unisha was clearly SO against it happening! Still, consent was important regardless what body language told anyone. Orpheus understood that!(( OOC: ))

Unisha was clearly SO uncomfortable, the way she held onto her, the way she returned the kiss, that was so obviously a uncomfortable princess! .The real discomfort was when the kiss came to a unfortunate end, much quicker then she would like! Orpheus was the strongest one here, yet also the most jumpy, it appeared as she swung her blade for Ephraim, who she would find relief when he very impressively deflected it.Funny he said that, normally, had it been anyone else, she would be agreeing with him, but her silence was a small indication that maybe this time, she didn't mind being that trophy, so long as it was Orpheus who won her!
She did notice the color coming to his face however, after he mentioned her sister. "Oh.....are you blushing? How very adorable...Careful not to let Aeon here your thoughts, or see you blushing over her.." She said into his mind with an innocent smile.
As she returned her attention back to Orpheus, Unisha listened to her as she spoke, only to shake her head, taking her hand a moment later and pulling her along with her, it was.......strange trying to talk seriously while she remained standing on top of the defeated Carmen. Had she actually managed to pull her along, when they were at least far enough away that they couldn't listen to every word, Unisha would begin to speak again! "...Do I look angry? ..I ." The soft red coloration returned to her cheeks. "...I enjoyed it! ...I mean, I really loved it..You don't have to hide your emotion with me..and you don't have to ask. It's me, Unisha! You don't know how much I wanted this moment..." She said softly.

   ".........." Ephraim might start to feel an uncomfortable feeling come over him, and he might feel that suddenly he was being watched, from close range. Very close, in fact, when he turned around to investigate, he would be met with the silver-haired teenager, Sephriea. Her expressionless green-blue eyes staring right into his soul! Enough to send shivers down anyone's spine, really. She wasn't exactly one anyone could ever really be comfortable with, and that reason would only become more accurate as she began to speak.. "..Fight me. You like to fight. So fight me. Someone keeps telling me to fight...I hear it all day. It won't stop, not until...I put you down. " She just got scarier in time, hearing a voice in her head constantly was a bother, and if she wanted it to stop, she would have to do what it said. Luckily, she had some sense to choose a skilled warrior, and not some weakling. While she didn't understand the source of the voice, or why they wanted her to 'fight', she also didn't seem to catch on that it didn't just want her to fight him, it wanted much more then that. Much darker. What it really wanted, was her blade stained with the blood of Avalanche, the Serenitians, everyone.

However, I am not ready to divorce myself from my compassion just yet. I will find the balance somehow, the means to save my country and her people.
That is the king I wish to become, and so that is the man I must be."As Ephraim was making his way away from the scene, he was considering to himself if he should try to relax or not as per Unisha's suggestion. Even though she was occupied now... it was still a good suggestion. Still, it would feel strange to him to simply do nothing. Perhaps he could figure something out... maybe Eirika could help?
Before that, though, his attention would be brought behind him as he felt himself being watched. ...And not very discreetly, like Cissnei. That was made clear as the blank-faced girl was just... standing there staring at him. "Why does everyone assume I enjoy fighting..." He muttered to himself. It WAS true, but it was something he tried to keep to himself. It wasn't something he was proud of, yet it seemed like everyone around him magically knew in this world. "...It has been a while since we fought. Last time, I held back and you got the upper hand. If you believe fighting will help you, I'll gladly meet your challenge... just don't expect it to go the same way it did last time." Back when they first met Sephriea, when the Mastermind had taken over the Gold Saucer. She had defeated him because he had only been defending himself and not trying to hurt her since she was mind controlled at the time. It didn't seem like her mind was in much greater shape now... but perhaps fighting would help. Or make it worse. But only one way to find out. He'd try to talk to her after. "Go on, then. The first move is yours." He said, drawing his spear and awaiting her attack.(( OOC: ))

"...You fight a lot.." She said blankly, as if he had said the most ridiculous thing ever. She wasn't exactly a stranger, as awkward and uncomfortable as she was to be around everyone, she seen him enough times to know he loved to battle, it wasn't some magically known gift bestowed upon everyone, it was just observation! "..You lose a lot...here.." She wasn't even trying to insult him, she was just saying what she observed, and while on this island, almost every duel he had ended up in failure. Would it be the same against her? There was only one way to find out.
"..Okay then.." She was so full of energy, so much life!
She held out her hand, and a fiery ball of magic shot out from her palm, just as the glow of a green materia shined softly within her weapon as the spell was cast. As it coursed on it's way for Ephraim, she darted forward, slicing her blade through the fireball, causing the fire to blanket the entire length of the blade as she continued to rush for him, and upon closing in on him, Sephriea swiped upward, creating a fiery blade beam to add onto the assault against him while the actual blade of Sephriea's weapon came dangerously close to striking him across the chest!

_____________________"I know I must place my duty as a commander above my life as a man. And once I am crowned, I most certainly will do exactly that.
However, I am not ready to divorce myself from my compassion just yet. I will find the balance somehow, the means to save my country and her people.
That is the king I wish to become, and so that is the man I must be.""...Well, it is important to improve. You can't do that without putting in the effort." That was all true, but it was also true he enjoyed battle for the sake of battle. Something he'd have to work on to improve as king, but as long as he was in this world, nothing really stopped him from indulging. He just... needed to keep it mostly in check. "...Yes, thank you for reminding me." Something about this island just hated him. He didn't know what it was, but he kept losing fights he definitely should win. Kaden beating him even once is nonsense, twice is just absurd! He may have to fight him again later.
As she initiated combat, he reared his spear back to swipe through the fireball and attempt to dispel it, but he soon came to realize he should've just dodged--as her swift movements brought her upon him in moments. He barely had any time to defend himself, much less mount any counterattack! He quickly brought his spear's shaft up to block the flurry of attacks, yet her strength was... more impressive than he anticipated. "Guh!" He let out, the fiery wave bullet weakening his guard and her follow up strike straight up knocking the spear from his hands and forcing him to collapse backwards! He grunted as his back hit the dirt, momentarily dazed from the power and ferocity of her attacks. His spear didn't land far away from him, so he could recover, but this duel was not off to a great start for him already!(( OOC: ))
