Group One: Turtle vs. Fiona

Fight!

It had been a while since Turtle had really sparred, but she had been practicing plenty of the beginner moves. So she let out a breath, counted backwards from ten to focus, and then got ready to meet Fiona on the mats.

Fiona was actually in a remarkably good mood today, so her desire to hit things was at a minimum. Upon seeing Turtle on the mats, she gave a quick wave.

"Hi. Been a while. How've you been?"

Re: Group One: Turtle vs. Fiona

[stocksgrrl]

Turtle gave a little wave back. "Good. Pretty good, anyway. How about you?"

Re: Group One: Turtle vs. Fiona

[cutsthestrings]

She bounced on the balls of her feet.

"Great, actually. My brother came to visit. So did my dad. They were here for the convention."

Re: Group One: Turtle vs. Fiona

[stocksgrrl]

"Oh, yeah," Turtle nodded a little, noting the bouncing. "I remember reading stuff like that for radio Friday. Congrats? Must be nice to see them."

Re: Group One: Turtle vs. Fiona

"Yeah. Eliot is off with Peyton now, but seeing him again? I missed him. I hope he likes this place."

She bounced between one leg and the other.

"What about you? Anything good this weekend?"

Re: Group One: Turtle vs. Fiona

[stocksgrrl]

"Mostly work," Turtle admitted, "which is good..."

She fidgeted a little, and reminded herself that fidgeting was no good in a spar. "So, I guess...?"

Re: Group One: Turtle vs. Fiona

[cutsthestrings]

"Anything I should know before we start?"

Re: Group One: Turtle vs. Fiona

[stocksgrrl]

To that, Turtle grinned a little. "Watch your shins?" she offered. "You?"

Re: Group One: Turtle vs. Fiona

[cutsthestrings]

She tilted her head thoughtfully.

"Can't think of anything except, um, sometimes my skin is a little harder than usual."

Re: Group One: Turtle vs. Fiona

[stocksgrrl]

Turtle took a moment to consider the implications of that, and she nodded. "Skin harder than usual," she repeated. "Good thing I don't depend on blades, then, I guess."

With that, she settled into a defensive, ready position.

Re: Group One: Turtle vs. Fiona

[cutsthestrings]

Fiona settled into her own, looking at Turtle curiously. She didn't want to attack on this bout; something told her to wait and see what Turtle did first.

[sorry about last night, btw]

Re: Group One: Turtle vs. Fiona

[stocksgrrl]

And Turtle was watching Fiona, thoughtfully, considering her options, going through all the lessons that Miss Atreides had been giving, going through all the various different first moves she could make.

Of course, once she actually did go to make one, something more like panic than careful planning set off in Turtle's head, and all she could think to do was go right for a kick to the shins.

Old habits. Hard to break.

[[ nooooo worries; sp happens. ]]

Re: Group One: Turtle vs. Fiona

[cutsthestrings]

A kick to the shins was easy enough to dodge, especially since the other girl had warned her about it. Something in her rebelled at the idea of striking at her, perhaps because she had less faith that Turtle would be able to dodge or block and the last thing she wanted to do was harm someone.

Instead she went for a grab, reaching for one arm to try and twist it behind her back.
