He had more than enough bruises that betrayed his blood color that Lunear had given up on hiding it on his clothes. Blue back on blacks and greys and whites, the troll felt a little bit better, able to tell all of Alternia just what his hue was yet at the same time he was slightly flustered as to the fack he was doing so. He was flaunting his blood whilst mingling.
With peasants.
But not peasants?
Friends?
It was a growing inner turmoil for him, and yet it was something he kept allowing himself to grow comfortable with. Not pawns, not trash, but friends. Allies. True allies and not just 'well lets work together for a short while then plan to cull one another when over' sort of deals. His recent duels with others having proved... beneficial in certain ways he kept prompting those he felt he might be able to give a measure of trust to, to not truly harm or be harmed. So when he encountered Athene once more? He walked and asked as he had the others- "Pardon for this intrusion." As it so often was now, "but might you spare some time to entertain a request of mine?"

Athene wasn't quite sure what to make of whom she'd met recently. They were nice, or at the very least polite, and for someone as guarded as her she wasn't sure what to make of trolls that weren't outwardly aggressive. But Vremea and Odette, trolls she regarded as her closest friends, had found the newer trolls to be people they trusted and would even interact with daily.
Maybe, maybe it was time to stop being so guarded and wary of other trolls. To let down her defenses just the smallest bit.
It came unexpectedly in the form of Lunear approaching her, who had earned some points in her books for his fashion. Elegant clothing, she had admired him when she had met him and he was polite at least. He wasn't bad when she had met him and he wasn't bad now, although his hair bothered her to some degree. It could be styled a little better.
"I do, yes." She replied after a moment of consideration, her blank stare only broken by a slightly raised eyebrow. While she wasn't sure what he wanted, if it would be good or bad, she was at least making some small amount of effort to trust him.

Alas for poor Athene, Lunear was in many ways guarded as she, and he was not as.. hospitable as other trolls were towards one another. Still, he tried, wanting to reach out and not have to be the outsider looking in. Part of him craved approval, and as the saying yet- More wing grubs with mind honey than sour acid. Or something like that. "Most excellent." He smiled genuinely at her answer. It was so easy once they gave him an opening to be casual yet.. formal? Cordial? "I was hoping you'd entertain a quick ah, duel with me not far from here. I am not yet as proficient with my weapon as I'd like to be, and I'd rather not catch myself unawares in the future." Simple honest truth. The best mind honey with which to catch the winged grubs with.

A duel? This wasn't what Athene was expecting but she wasn't going to reject it either. Practice was something she needed and in any case, if he was trying to get rid of her, he would find himself sorely mistaken.
Not that he necessarily was trying. If she had been more expressive she would have frowned, already going back on her attempts to be less guarded. Oh well, small steps.
"I would enjoy a duel, yes. I would like to brush up on my skills as well. Lead the way?" She said, allowing a slight smile at his own. It was kind of nice, she supposed, to be asked to a duel instead of just blindly thrown into battle. Or in her case, trolls unexpectedly fighting back when she was going for dyes. (She still felt bad about that, but what was done was done, and her research was rather thorough.)

If he'd wanted to be rid of her, he would have chosen a more elaborate method. Maybe a show and sport. He'd do it, if just to show off his false loyalty towards the powers that be. Not that is was of consequence. He knew he'd been associated in part, it would just be a matter of time until he was outed. Leading Athene out towards a safer area for a spar, he unhooked the stolen whip from his belt. "I do hope you are.. prepared." Then he lashed out. And naturally missed. HP: 20 DMG: 0 lol

Her garrote firmly in her hands, Athene watched as Lunear asked if she was prepared and then promptly missed her as she side stepped his attack. If she was a little more open, she would have probably laughed at the situation. As it was, a smile simply quirked her lips and then she went in for her own attack.
She came in close and flicked out the garotte, the sharp wire hitting his arm, and she gave it a quick pull back to help inflict more damage before darting a few feet away. It probably cut through his shirt, although she couldn't tell, but the successful attack was all she wanted anyways.

He truthfully, hadn't expected such... power behind her attack. His folly though, the pain swept up his arm with the aftershock her wire did. An unexpected use of such a short weapon. However, it was effective, his clothes neatly sliced open as a thin sliver of blood welled to the surface.
Pretending not to notice or care he loosened his cravat, tugging it free. He'd play it cool. Pretend he was just letting her have her fun before he took it to the next level.
"If you wanted to remove my garments you could simply request such you know." He really doubted she wanted anything of the sorts.

His second attack was a hit at least and she scowled at the pain, although at least it was made a little better by seeing his shirt cut and the thin sliver of blood.
However, Lunear had decided to open his stupid mouth and Athene found herself uncomfortably blushing involuntarily.
"Absolutely not." She grit out, swinging out with her weapon using more of the handle this time. What did everyone else see in him, again? She wasn't sure now.

Her blushing just made him feel flattered. He did have a perfect body after all. It was only normal for another troll to feel embarrassed wanting to see it.
"That's what you say but-" She hit him, another shallow stinging cut having fabric fall.
"Your actions say otherwise." He laughed, winking at her while he spun with his whip. It was half spoken in jest.
Half, because he really did look that good and why wouldn't anyone want to admire him?

Athene just gaped at him, blush deepening. She wouldn't admit it, not even under threat of cull, but yes he did have a nice body to look at.
"I-I wouldn't-" She stuttered out, a hiss escaping as he hit her with his whip on her arm. It had gotten her good, the welt forming near instantly and a trickle of blood trailing down near her wrist.
Athene scowled, replying "Maybe if you weren't so bad at dodging you wouldn't get a wrong opinion." The weak insult was accompanied with a feeble swing of her weapon, still somewhat distracted by his earlier comments.

She got him againt and this time, it was on his other arm. Looks like he was going for the gun show look tonight. Trying his best to play it cool, he kept the smirk going, moving to get closer. "Perhaps it is not my desire to dodge but rather-" He tried what the handsome trolls did in trashy books did. The lower voice thing. "I merely desire a whisper of your touch, even if it wounds me." He said, trying his best smoulder at her. It was more that he sucked at dodging but like hell he'd let her know that. HP: 7 DMG:

Athene's mind just went blank at his words, her mouth dropping open in utter surprise. Was he really saying that? Once again she pondered what Vremea saw in him, although if it was for his looks she wouldn't blame her.
Blinking, she pushed that thought away, still scowling as she backed away to keep the previous distance between the pair.
"I think you just really suck at dodging." She replied, voice weak as she watched the look on his face. Whatever it was, it was kind of cute, although it was utterly baffling as to why he even had it. "That or you're just really desperate for quadrants." She tacked on, her scowl back in place.
A little part of her mind crowed that this was how some of her romance books started and she quietly smothered the thought, more focused on how annoying he was. At least she knew that he sucked at this though.

He'd floored her with his good looks and charm Yes. That was her expression, surely. Tossing his hair back he shot the troll a wink, pulling off his cravat as tossing it aside so she might admire what pale grey skin was exposed. "Do I? I am a high blood, do you think we do things without purpose?" Of course they did it might as well have been a national past time oh wait it kind of was. Her voice weakened and Lunear went in for the kill. Flicking his wrist out he attempted to catch her, rope her and close the distance between them. "Have you ever wondered what it would be like- with a blue blood?" He was careful not to say high blood. Very careful. HP: 7 DMG: 6

He had taken off his cravat and winked at her. Athene could have paved the queen's hive with how floored she was at his actions. Her mind simply stuttered and took a stop, unable to comprehend his words.
"Uh, er-" She stuttered out at first, completely forgetting about the battle. Was he flirting with her? He was flirting with her wasn't he. Were some of her stupid books coming true? It dazed her which was why when his whip came for her, she was reeled in without much fight.
It was the sting of pain that cut through her thoughts, cold and clear. It had been her other arm now, with more of a cut on it that was already starting to bruise green as some of her blood dripped out. She was in a battle, this wasn't the time to day dream. If he wanted to play this game though...
"Sometimes I wonder." She whispered, fluttering her lashes at him as she was pulled in. She made herself relax slightly, but pulled herself up to whisper directly in his ear "Have you ever wondered what it was like to get your a** kicked though?" Using her garrote, aimed for a deep cut on his chest before dashing away. Her blush was still deep and clear on her face though, his words still affecting her even though she tried to play it cool.

In his book 'how to be a gentle troll', it said never lash out at someone you were flattering. Unless you wanted things to go that way. Which Lunear wasn't really aiming for. He was more hoping to win the spar but that- he grunted, feeling the pain ripple up his chest as she got him deep.
"Oh my-" He managed to couch out, past the pain, trying to pull it back get that recupricoon voice back. "If you're into that sort of thing.. can't say I'm opposed." He stood, though his shirt was nearly slipping off him. And getting a lovely new dye job.
"Some battles are.. more intimate than others. This is why we spar after all." He pulled on his shirt, letting it fall to the dirt.
Bask in his beauty. Admire him. And maybe get flustered enough to fumble again.
