It was just past midday when Rhys decided that he wanted to spend a few extra hours wailing on the dummies. Marcus had advised him that sparring with another person would be more beneficial, but honestly he wasn't looking forward to getting his a** handed to him on a silver platter again. The dummies served his purposes well enough, and he got a pretty decent workout out of it anyway. Maybe if he could find someone a little closer to his level in experience, he'd be up for a spar or two. Or twenty. Whatever worked.
He was good and warmed up when he finally decided to take a break, maybe wait around to see if someone would show up. He hefted his sword to rest on his shoulder as he leaned casually against one of the half-gone dummies. There didn't seem to be anyone around though, or at least if they were they weren't in his line of sight.

It was advised that Mercy put her temper to better use by sparring, since obviously taking out her aggression on immobile dummies was something productive. It IS productive Mercedes, provided you let the aggression go while hitting the dummies... The short hunter sighed, smacking the dummy around a bit with her staff, getting in some punches here and there. if you say so, I feel more frustrated hitting these dumb things, which is the exact opposite Drae.. Another jab followed by a kick to the side. That's because you're clearly a very unrefined woman. Your fault entirely. Mercy growled and started hitting the dummy harder, imagining it as a certain necromancer's face.
Now now, I know I'm one handsome boil, but you don't need to think of me so aggressively. That's not even what I used to look like either. Would you like for me to show you? Mercy sighed loudly. Ugh! No! Just shut up so I can concentrate! A chuckle. As you wish... Now even more frustrated, Mercy looked around to see if some one would be available to spar, spotting a male not too far from her. The tiny hunter marched up to him, poking his back with her staff. "Hey, wanna spar for a bit?"

The poke was random as all hell and Rhys nearly turned and swung his sword in the direction it came from, but he didn't and instead simply blinked at the person responsible for the surprise attack (so to speak). It took him maybe a second, and then a snort from Zephira before the other hunter's question registered and he shrugged in reply.
"Sure," he said as he lifted his sword off his shoulder, "was hoping someone was gonna ask before I started just wailing on this dummy again."

Oh good, some one willing to spar with her! This should be plenty fun and rewarding she hopped. The dude before her was big but he wasn't something she couldn't handle right? Grinning, Mercy backed up and slid into some what of a fighting stance. She never took martial arts and considered her self more of a mixed fighter, using the dances she was taught in dance class to guide her movements and give her flexibility. Just thinking about flexibility made her miss yoga class....What is this yoga you speak of? Of course the great and mighty necromancer wouldn't know s**t about the workings of the human world. Nothing Drae, Ill explain later. Gotta focus remember?
She looked to the tall hunter before her, straightening for a second. "Name's Mercy, what's yours?" She needed to know the name of the person who's a** she was going to kick after all. Such a confident little tart~ Hush..

She seemed more than eager to get things underway, which was fine by him. Rhys took a step back and assumed his own fighting stance, one that he was slowly but surely becoming accustomed to the more often he trained.
‹ One that I taught you. ›
He stifled a snort and ignored Zephira, who was chuckling softly as Mercy started the introductions. It seemed a bit backwards, but he didn't really care. "Rhys," he said simply, focusing on her figure beyond his blade. "Good way to meet, huh?"

Mercy slid back into her own stance, holding her staff defensively in front of her. "Sure I suppose~" To be honest, she didn't mind meeting some one this way, was a good way to get rid of tension and make new friends OR have the perfect excuse to kick a rival's a**. Remember Mercedes, exercise a calm demeanour, make him guess your moves rather than figuring out a pattern She took a deep breath, relaxing her facial features till she thought they would be unreadable. Got it. Calm, chill...I can do this. Drae would've smiled if he could, a feeling of cool excitement coming through him at the thought of his hunter putting him to the test finally.
Wait for him to make his move first.
Mercy steadied herself.

Rhys smirked for all of a second before his face became all business, and he assessed the situation briefly. The distance between them, length of her weapon, her physicality. His dad did once say that you don't judge a fighter by their size, but it was hard to. She looked a whole lot smaller than he was..
Without warning he moved in to close the distance between them, sweeping his blade in an upward motion and grinning as he felt it make contact with her shield.

Okay so it was a good thing she had a shield on, geez he hit kind of hard. Mercy flew back a little with the blow, glaring slightly before she squared her shoulders and charged forward for an attack, her face still remaining remarkably calm. Gotta keep steady like Drae said....Okay time to see if I can land a punch on the big guy here. But then again, everyone in Deus was bigger than her it seemed since she was only 5'3. When she got close enough, she swung her staff, grinning when it hit his shield as well. Take that~!

She barely grazed his shield, but it put her at close enough range that he could slam his shoulder into her to put some distance between them again. He was vaguely reminded of his old policy of never hitting girls, but as a hunter that wouldn't apply. Shouldn't, unless he had a death wish. Which he didn't.
Zephira snorted in the background, almost in disbelief at the notion, as Rhys adjusted his grip on his weapon. "It doesn't," he whispered, eyes scanning for the next opening.

Okay, NOW she was starting to get a little ruffled. Not only did her swing do no damage, she flew back once more when the man slammed his shoulder into her. FOCUS Mercedes! "What do you think I'm doing?!" She whispered harshly, trying to think on how she should proceed. Loosing your focus and temper. Keep calm. Assess your opponent, figure out what would work best. She sighed once more before trying to calm down, going in for another attack and kicking him in what would be his stomach if it wasn't for the shield.

Rhys inclined his head slightly when he thought he heard her say something, but Zephira hissed at his sudden shift in focus, and it cost him a bit. He felt a sudden pain resonate from his stomach, and he grit his teeth. It put her within range again, so quickly he changed his grip on his sword again so the back of it was against his arm.
"Nice shot," he said with a grin as he swung his arm so his blade swept across the shield over her chest.

She wanted to jump in triumph when her strike finally hit, but she didn't and was wiser for it when the sword slashed across her chest. Well, that kind of hurt. "Hey! I need my tits you know~ Just saying!" You're loosing focus again Mercedes... She growled and nodded sharply g-got it. Sorry. Mercy went in for another strike, stabbing her staff in the ground to steady her as she dipped low for a kick to his knee next.

Rhys made an effort not to laugh at her words, though the amusement was quickly replaced by a grimace when a sudden pain shot up his leg where she made impact against his shield. He felt Zephira crackle in his hand as he adjusted his grip, and he could feel her getting more and more energized as the spar went on. He dove at her next, a charge of lightning engulfing her shield as his blade made contact once again.
"Her name's Zephira, by the way," he said with a grin.

The lightning Struck her pretty hard, making her body shake even if he did just hit the shield. However, she had one ace up her sleeve. A thick green and black substance started to drip from her staff, sizzling once it hit the floor. Mercy grinned and charged forward then, twirling her staff and slamming it into his side. Most of the blackishgreen goop would stick to Rhy's side, sizzling as if acid was on his person. Mercy smirked, twirling her staff before holding it infront of her. "His name is Draex. He says hello~"

He tried to dodge the attack but hadn't been quick enough, and Rhys made a face as he felt the goop stick to him. His shield, rather, but the sizzling still burned something fierce. It was enough to be a bother at least, and he heard Zephira muttering a word or two in some unfamiliar language. He went ahead and assumed it was a series of swear words.
"Well tell Draex this s**t is disgusting," he said as he quickly sidestepped and lunged at her, brandishing his sword.
