[Training Ground] Are you lost, little boy? (Jokor)

[Lucas Arias]

„It was not a girlish scream!“ Lucas insisted as he heard Jokor. „It was a very masculine scream!“ It didn’t occur to him that it would have been even more masculine to successfully beat Jokor up and let out a battlecry rather than a scream of pain. The almost castration had clouded his mind even further, if that was at all possible. „Well, if you think you can handle being a squire, you should go to a knight and ask them if they want you“, he suggested. No matter how strong Jokor was and how good he was at beating others up, it took more to be a good squire than a certain prowess at brawling! As Jokor sidestepped again and punched him again, the squire decided to go down and finally admit defeat. Even though he really hated that, he realized that it would probably be wiser to shut up and not fight back now. Judging from the way their little brawl had gone so far, Jokor would just beat him up again, break his nose, break his ribs, improve his face by giving him a black eye and knocking his teeth out and do other fun things, and he wasn’t interested in that. He’d get even with him another day, when he had recovered from his injuries. At least that was what he told himself so that he didn’t feel quite as much like a fool and a coward. „You win“, he thus informed Jokor. „And no, you can’t persuade me to get up and try to hit you again by telling me I’m not tough enough. I know where that’s going to lead!“

[Jokor]

Jokor just laughed at the downed squire. “Right I heard little kids go down with a more masculine scream then whatever came from you.” He walked over towards the fallen squire a smirk on his face. “Finally your giving up, I thought I would have at least knock out a few teeth before it would sink in your thick skull that you should stay down.” As the squire began to rag on jokor just shook his head. “I won't be doing that, you can only have so much fun with beating up a helpless sod before it gets boring.” After he had said and done that he just turned away from the beaten up squire and walked towards one of the empty training dummies. Hoping to work a bit on his dagger work.

oocThats the end of it then?

Notes: A well done little sparring thread, I felt so bad for Lucas! There was a bit of a confusion at first of who should respond to attacks, but once that worked out you two did quite well. Lucas got a bit of an extra reward for being willing to be absolutely pummeled and humiliated. Feel free to PM me with any questions or concerns.
