Pick a partner and hit the floor. Again and again and again.

After getting a subtle nod from Ghanima, Elaine stepped up to the mats to find a partner.

While she wasn't pre-born like her mother, she was still Fremen and trained by the Aryeh of Atreides. Taking down an adult unarmed would be a challenge, but not impossible.

Rede had stood by Reno's side, silently watching what was going on right up until Reno had given him the go-ahead to join the sparring matches. He tried his best not to look too proud of himself as he stepped up to the mats. It wasn't that he was cocky, no. It was just that Reno giving him permission meant that the older Turk had faith in him.

And that was why he was smiling happily as he walked up to the girl on the mat.

"Do you need a partner?"

Re: Open Sparring secher_nbiw April 12 2009, 15:12:39 UTC

Elaine just smirked slightly at the boy as she confidently stepped out on to the mats. "I don't know," she called over her shoulder. "Think you can keep up?"

Re: Open Sparring weetinyturk April 12 2009, 15:16:52 UTC

"I was bred to keep up," Rede replied, giving his shoulders a little shrug as he followed her. It wasn't boasting, really. It was simply the truth, delivered in a tone that made his own Reno kind of roll his eyes and tell him he was taking after his 'other old man.'

Rede usually took that as a compliment. Rude was pretty neat.

Re: Open Sparring secher_nbiw April 12 2009, 15:28:58 UTC

"You're awful skinny to come from a breeding program. Don't they feed your tribe?" Coming from whipcord thin Elaine, that was a bit hypocritical, especially as she followed her words with a jab at his ribs.

Testing the waters, first, to make sure she wasn't about to pound some over-ambitious child into the floor.

Re: Open Sparring weetinyturk April 12 2009, 15:32:51 UTC

"Tribe?" Rede gave her a bit of an odd look as he moved out of the way to the jab.

He lived with Reno. He was used to having jabs and kicks and thumps to the head come out of nowhere. "I'm a Turk."

That was followed up with a kick toward her hip. He could test the waters right back.

Re: Open Sparring secher_nbiw April 12 2009, 15:44:07 UTC

"What's a Turk?" Elaine asked as she spun away from the kick, twirling around to come in from the back with a kidney shot. "I don't know that planet."

Re: Open Sparring weetinyturk April 12 2009, 16:08:59 UTC

"A Turk does the job," Rede recited, ducking off to the side in an effort to keep his kidneys in one piece. "No matter what. Because they're Turks."

And that was totally a matter of pride, yes, which he accentuated with an elbow thrown backward at her chest. "The planet is called Gaia, though."

Re: Open Sparring secher_nbiw April 12 2009, 18:07:46 UTC

"That's not an Imperium planet," Elaine informed him primly. "You're an outworlder savage."

Which considering the rather brutal way she took the elbow to her shoulder and lashed out with a nasty kick to the back of his knees, was most likely a compliment.

Re: Open Sparring weetinyturk April 12 2009, 18:14:44 UTC

"I am?" This was news to Rede, who had never heard of the Imperium in the first place. He stepped forward with one foot so that, while the kick did land and make one knee buckle, it wasn't as serious as it could have been. He managed to catch himself decently quickly, and spun on his heel, aiming a somewhat calculated punch for Elaine's stomach. "What's the difference?"

The first time he'd seen daylight was a year ago. He was allowed to ask silly questions, right?

Re: Open Sparring secher_nbiw April 12 2009, 18:23:37 UTC

"It means you aren't completely useless," Elaine said, wincing as the punch landed, but using his proximity to aim for his face. "For starters."

Re: Open Sparring weetinyturk April 12 2009, 18:26:39 UTC

"That," and Rede had to take a moment to clench his jaw and turn his head so that nothing would get seriously hurt, "sounds like a good start."

He was grabbing at her arm, while it was still outstretched, to see if maybe he could grapple her to the floor.

Re: Open Sparring secher_nbiw April 12 2009, 21:14:56 UTC

Elaine's smile was vicious as she threw her weight backwards, knee coming up to meet his stomach. "Well, if you weren't off to a good start, this wouldn't be any fun!"

Re: Open Sparring weetinyturk April 12 2009, 23:07:15 UTC

"We're doing this for fun?" Rede barely managed to dance out of the way of that one, her knee getting her quite solidly in the hip, instead. Ow. "I guess this is kind of fun, isn't it?"

He kind of just did it because he had to know how.

He bent over and threw himself forward at her, shoulder-first.

Re: Open Sparring secher_nbiw April 13 2009, 01:05:47 UTC

"No reason practice can't be fun," Elaine gasped, wincing at the impact and trying to jab her elbow into his face. "Mother says that if you don't enjoy what you do, you're in the wrong life."
