"Have you ever been in fight before?" It hit, but this time Asher rolled with it some. He, at least, had endured some swings: new how to minimize the damage as best he could, and came up to jab a dagger into Mal's side instead of throwing it, this time. He looked pleased. "You swing that thing like a lumberjack." Weapon: Agile Ranged; +1 to hit, base 4 damage. HP: 24/47 DMG: 8

"Yes. Just not with this kind of thing, that's the problem." Mal's voice squeezed a little at the hit; it hurt, not as bad as it could have, but it did. "Used to guns, you know. Distance, blah blah." He flicked the sword again, more wrist than elbow. A lighter hit, but it was still a pretty good impact. Weapon: Balanced Melee; base 6 damage HP: 32 - 8 = 24/50 DMG: 6

The blow struck him in the hand, and Asher dropped the dagger -- but, fortunately, he had another in hand. He hopped back one step, two, and let it fly, plunking neatly in against the center of Mal's chest. He was getting cocky, now, not quite juggling the rest of the knives, but certainly toying with them. Confident. "Guns aren't a fight. A fight's when you come out with your lip split or your nose bloodied." He shook his head just a little. Still teasing. "How about that?" Weapon: Agile Ranged; +1 to hit, base 4 damage. HP: 18/47 DMG: 8

"We've each got our own strengths." It didn't help that he was a little breathless when he said it. That had felt a bit like getting shot through a vest; a bruising, still, but something that he definitely felt. It had him a little off again, not that he minded so much. He did make up his mind that maybe, when magic became a thing he could do, he'd pick things that would help with actual fighting. Weapon: Balanced Melee; base 6 damage HP: 24 - 8 = 16/50 DMG: 3

"Have you ever even used a gun for real, or is it just all shooting at cutouts?" Asher sighed as Mal clipped him, but at least this time it didn't knock him off balance. He slashed with the little throwing daggers, which wasn't something they were great at -- but at least he hit. "You don't seem like a real confident guy, Malcolm." Weapon: Agile Ranged; +1 to hit, base 4 damage. HP: 15/47 DMG: 4

"Confident enough, Asher. I don't really worry about that, sweetheart." Mal hit him again, too, but shallowly, not a great hit, and he was getting frustrated with it. Which wasn't a bad thing, it was even sort of funny. Weapon: Balanced Melee; base 6 damage HP: 16 - 4 = 12/50 DMG: 3

In contrast -- despite the fact that, in truth, they were about evenly matched -- Asher was borderline cocky, and it was remarkable he wasn't missing more. His throws were connecting far more than they missed, and teh right end of the knife even, and this time was no different. It flew, it hit, and he beamed. "I'm not so sure..."

"Confidence doesn't worry about what other people think." And really, neither did Mal-- this hit was much more solid, and Mal's eyebrows flicked up in pleasure at it, even if there wasn't much surprise. This was pretty much over, either way-- neither of them were in great shape anymore. Weapon: Balanced Melee; base 6 damage HP: 12 - 4 = 8/50 DMG: 6

"Bullshit -- oof." Asher laughed as he fell back again, flicking of fanother of those little daggers in return, his aim still solid. He shook his head, rubbing at his ribs and trying to dance back again. They could probably stop at this time; could probably have called it a tie, but Asher wasn't about to concede. "That's a load of s**t. Everyone cares what other people think, it's just about not letting it mess with you." Weapon: Agile Ranged; +1 to hit, base 4 damage. HP: 6/47 DMG: 4

They could have called it a tie. Mal certainly wouldn't have minded. "No, it's much easier if you really don't give a s**t what anyone else thinks. Not letting it mess with you is fine, if you can do it." He managed to catch Asher again, just, as they circled. Weapon: Balanced Melee; base 6 damage HP: 8 - 4 = 4/50 DMG: 3

That one hurt, the way many before hadn't -- and despite the fact that Mal had just winged him, Asher was pretty sure it was going to leave a bruise. But Asher thought the man was flagging a little, and after a moment's pause, he stepped forward, pressing Mal back a couple steps with one solid jab to the sternum. It'd also bruise. And it broke Mal's limited godly protection. "Caring what other people think drives us to be better." And he raised his eyebrows, chin tipped up. "You give up?"

HP: 0 That hurt, too, and Mal caught his breath and held his hands up, letting the padded sword swing down so he was holding it in a way that was clear he didn't mean to attack with it. "I'd be a fool if I didn't say uncle, no?" But Mal didn't look upset or angry about it, or even embarrassed by the idea of losing. Maybe he really was that secure, or maybe he didn't actually care. "Congratulations."

Asher still wiggled the tip of the blade against Mal's chest a little, as if he could do something more with it, or like he was thinking about pressing the issue -- and then, finally, he pulled it back, and slid away from the man to start gathering up all the little thrown daggers again, to tuck them into his belt. He was bruised as well, but it didn't show. Asher seemed to have an endless well of energy that he could draw on. "Yeah, well. I'm getting better, but I don't know if I'm crazy about throwing stuff at people in a fight. It's definitely easier to get up in their faces, right?"

"Kind of. I mean, it's easier to get into their faces, but then people can hit you easier." As demonstrated by Asher's winning. Mal made a kind of gesture, stepping away from him and putting a little more space between them. "It's really up to your accuracy and to how you feel about getting hit, I think." Mal didn't mind getting hit for a bigger cause.

"Again, I ask if you've ever actually been hit." He shook his head, peering up at Mal with his eyes narrowed and all the little throwing knives tucked into his belt. It was challenging, but in a milder way, now that he had certainly won. He shrugged just a little, scraping hair out of his face and considering.Mal's expression. "You really do seem more pencil pusher than anything else."
