Coon and friends. [Jokor]

[Markus Andres]

Markus' left jab hit home and Markus' followed up with his own right leg, aimed at his opponent's left thigh, aimed to give him a dead leg. Attack high and low in rapid succession. Except it appeared that Jokor followed the same tactic, as Markus and his knee would collide in the air between one another. Markus' attack was undoubtedly heavier, unless Markus had underestimated the street rat's strength. But still, Markus felt the sting of the boy's knee colliding with his and Markus retreated by stepping away from the rat. He had tried to hit Markus' junk! Underhanded tactic, to say the least. Not willing to give up the offensive, Markus would - assuming Jokor didn't attack when Markus stepped away - step in again and aim his dagger at Jokor's left ribs in a hook-ish stab.

[Jokor]

Jokor let out a slight hiss of pain when his knee didn't hit the goods of his opponent but rammed hard into his knee instead. Well at least he did stop the squires attack with it so it wasn't completely wasted. Even though the squire was a obviously stronger then him, jokor's wiry body had a decieving amount of strength in it, enough to keep himself from losing his balance from markus' blow to his knee and just gritted his teeth, this wasn't the most painful hit he felt, not in a long shot. When markus quickly stepped back jokor activated his auristic vision. He had wanted to take him out with the hit to the sack and get away with a win that way and now that failed there was the option that he managed to get out of his vieuw or that he got some crap in his eyes or something as payback, at least with that magic he could always see where the guy was and act accordingly. Those few seconds used to activate his however where enough to let markus go back onto the offensive. Quickly jumping a step back the dagger harmlessly cut through the air missing his ribs with only a few centimeters between the sheath and his ribs. Not wanting to let markus keep the offensive jokor quickly did a step with his right foot first forwards, using his right arm to try to prevent, or at least hinder it, markus from using his dagger again for a short moment by trying to trap it between his arm and markus' body. At the same time he cocked his left fist ready and made a movement that clearly suggested that he would take a shot at his head, before he let it lose however he did a sloppy sweeping kick with his left leg, using his right leg as a pivot trying to kick the legs underneath him.

oocI hope this isn't to advanced for my guy. -__- I have no idea. If it is to advanced just let his fient be seen through or something and you react appropatly then

[Markus Andres]

Markus didn't notice anything weird about Jokor as he moved in for the next attack. He noticed the attempt to hinder Markus' arm and he tried to lower his arm int time, but still, Jokor's delaying tactic worked and Markus missed an opportune moment to stab the skinny rat in the ribs. Markus' left hand shot across his body to stop what he perceived as an incoming attack for his face. But just as Markus had used a upper and lower combination attack earlier, it seemed Jokor was mixing in some feints with his usual attacks. Markus saw the incoming kick at his right leg. He jumped back but felt Jokor's well-timed kick clip his right foot. Making Markus' landing far from graceful. In fact, he stumbled a step or two. His many hours of training put him on guard immediately. His dagger raised for defense, his left hand up by his jaw. Looking at Jokor, waiting for the rat to make a move.

[Jokor]

Jokor couldn't help but let out a slight chuckle as his kick klipped markus' foot and let the squire's landing become quite hilarious, it was a shame he recovered way to fast for somebody as unskilled as jokor to take advantage of it though. Still he wasn't going to let markus tighten his guard to much so he quickly advanced a step towards markus before throwing his sheeted dagger at him, even though jokor's aim was worse then horrible, from this distance it was almost impossible to miss, though with the way it was spinning sheet or not it wouldn't have hit markus with the blade first anyway. And since the weapon was made out of isurian steel and didn't weigh very much thanks to that it wouldn't hurt very much if at all if it hit him. Still it was meant as a distraction so those things didn't really matter to jokor, as he kept his left hand close to his side where his other dagger was hidden he lashed out with his right one towards markus' side.

[Markus Andres]

The large squire was very surprised when Jokor threw his dagger at him. It was something his master had reprimanded Markus once, not to throw your only weapon away. If you missed, you were pretty much petched. Markus quickly threw his right shoulder back. But not quick enough as the sheathed blade hit his shoulder with the side. It might have left a cut had the blade not been sheathed. But Jokor's idea of distracting Markus worked excellently. Markus' left hand moved down and blocked the incoming strike with his forearm before it took out a couple of his ribs. Markus' right hand would shoot straight forward. Aimed at Jokor's exposed center and solar plexus. That would be a very lethal attack should the blades not have been sheathed. And even sheathed, it would still feel like a heavy poke to the receiver.

[Jokor]

Jokor let out a devilish grin, completely unfazed by both the fact that markus blocked his strike and that he saw markus' sheathed dagger go towards his chest. His left hand just quickly pulled out his spare dagger and he blocked the squire's stab towards his chest with it, most likely taking the squire once again by surprise, hoping to take advantage of that fact he lashed out directly after he blocked markus daggerwith his right leg, hoping to take out markus' knee and bring him towards the ground or at least slow him down enough to give him an edge over him.

[Markus Andres]

Indeed, Markus was very surprised by the block. Seeing his victory attack get swept away with such ease. It was something he had come to expect, even accept, from his master. But from a street rat? Someone without any expertize. Markus felt a tingle of anger go down his spine. Followed by an even sharper sensation of pain as Jokor's malnourished leg struck his leg. The squire let a little gasp leave his lips. Markus fell to his right knee. The little rat got him in a good place. Markus felt his knee crunch against the ground and he bit his teeth together. Not one to take defeat with ease, Markus wasn't going to let some street rat best one of Syliras' finest. The young squire felt the build-up in his legs and the subsequent release as he exploded into motion. All 205 pounds moving forward at the street rat. His left shoulder would be driving for Jokor's stomach. Markus arms would be trying to wrap around him and lift him up and crush the life out of him for a moment, only to try and throw him back to the ground again.

[Jokor]

Jokor felt a small sliver of satisfaction at the small feeling of surprise that was slowly changed into a small but bright flare of anger in markus' aura. That satisfaction growing when he brought the squire one of the so called elite from syliras to his knees. Though that feeling was brought to a brutal halt when the fallen squire suddenly jumped towards him ramming his shoulder into his stomach and knocking the wind out of his lungs, when he felt the squire's arms try and wrap around him he gritted his teeth and rammed his knee towards the man's stomach as hard as he could, trying to loosen his grip as he struggled in the man's grasp. Before he could get lose however the squire threw him back towards the ground, landing in an awkward roll and coming to a stop a few meters later. A bit dizzy from the rolling having the air stomped out of him and his stomach was probably one big bruise, it at least felt like that. Taking a firmer grip on his dagger he pushed himself back onto his feet, making himself look a bit weaker then he actually was, trying to goad the squire into attacking again, but this time he would be the one counterattacking.

[Markus Andres]

Markus was quite surprised how light the little bugger was. Perhaps it was because he was used to carrying heavy plate armor. The knee to his stomach, was met with Markus' tight abdomen. It still hurt, but his organs were protected. He threw the rat away from him and was about to follow him and kick the boy while he was still down. But his morality and discipline toiled his anger and stopped him. There was no need to spar with someone if you kicked them while they were down. No one learned anything from that. It would just injure the sparring partner. He let the boy get up again and that was when Markus noticed the unsheathed dagger. "Hey, your dagger is unsheathed..." Markus pointed out, giving the boy the opportunity to sheath it again before they continued. Markus simply wouldn't continue sparring with him if he didn't sheath the weapon. He did ponder how the dagger had become unsheathed. Had it been an accident or a conscious action. Markus recalled when Jokor had thrown his dagger and then later pulled out a new dagger... It had been a conscious decision or just a spur of the moment? Markus bit his teeth together. Really wanting to punch the rat in the face for his dangerous and reckless actions.

[Jokor]

When markus instead of trying to take advantage of his feigned weakness just pointed towards his dagger and made a remark of it being unsheathed, he couldn't make anything out resembling deceit or something else that even remotely resembled it in the man's aura, normally he still would have been wary, he quickly found out that he could only see the most obvious emotions with as skilled as he was. But this was a squire, the thought that deception even existed is almost foreign to them. So he took a quick look to the dagger he quickly pulled out in a reflex. “Yeah seems so.” He fiddled a bit with the remaining sheat of the dagger at his side and slipped it back on his dagger. All the while keeping up the act of being already battered and bruised enough so that he needed only a few hits and that he would go down and that dodging wasn't really an option for him anymore. “Right, fixed that little mistake, now are you doing to get on with it and finish it or do I need to come over and beat you until you stop cowering?” He said hoping to rile markus up enough so that he began to make mistakes.
