The strike was deflected in a well-executed manor but she’d always have to be wary of other hits that could potentially take her off guard. That was the purpose of the surprise assault. However her rebuttal to what he’d done was actually enough to catch him off guard, whether it was the small feeling of pride that she’d picked things up so quickly or the fact he just didn’t expect it was unknown but what he knew at that exact moment was that he’d better not drop his guard that much again.
Her hands slammed into his stomach as he doubled over, feeling the air rush out of his chest partially. He drank down a quick breath as her leg came up once again to find purchase on his abdomen from the side. Another hard hit but one he braced for lessening the damage somewhat. And he would have grabbed her leg had he the breath and where with all to do so. Instead she managed to slip back and out of his range. Coughing lightly he groaned as he stood back up. As good as he thought he was nowadays He still had vastly more to learn as she’d just proven.
At his offer of the challenge he watched her mull it over for a good few ticks potentially thinking out what she could get him to do if she won. But again he’d gone down more or less every branch that path offered. To some extent.
“Only one caveat to that, I won’t do something that goes against my moral code. So no killing people. Alright?” He spoke in a half jokey manner half serious one offering the lighter tone as a way of showing he didn’t think she’d do it but just had to be sure. Like he’d been burned one too many times in the past. “If I didn’t think you could do it, then I wouldn’t have offered the challenge. I would have made it much simpler.” He offered a smile before coughing hard enough to clear his throat.
“Right there are two rules. Firstly no weapons. Secondly no armour.” Both were a handicap for him but he knew he had to make this fair somehow. Doffing his leather armour and the weapons harness he wore he tossed them both atop his jacket on the nearby stone. Opening and closing his fingers he turned back to face her one on one. Whistling out a slow breath he fell into stance and the moment she’d readied herself he flashed her a hard look that spoke of him not letting her off easy here.
He then closed the gap this wasn’t In the same way he’d shown her no this was via him ducking down taking a half step in, swinging his hips and then stamping a hard second step in front of her and grinding his foot in place. Trying to show her that there was always more than one path to accomplish the same goal. His right hand would then snap out towards her thigh, looking to stop any kicks before they became a problem his left arm remained up to act as a deflection should he need it, his primary goal was in fact to close in and make her think of a way out of a situation where she couldn’t attack and had little opportunity to retreat.
