Closed RP - More than one way to spar

Apr 27, 2007 01:09

It was late afternoon when Brienne made her way out to the forest, Oathkeeper strapped to her hip, having spent the better part of the last couple of days cleaning everything--it turned out butter and salt were hard to get out of boiled leather. Who knew? (It occurred to Brienne that maybe there was some sort of cleansing spell that would have ( Read more... )

Mathayus was on his way back from the stables, where he had been insuring Camel's comfort with a few rubies and some stern words with the house elves. He'd satisfied himself that she would have everything she needed - even gruff as he'd been, it was clear to him that the house-elves were both kind and skilled, if a bit timid. He grinned to himself. Camel was smart - she'd soon have those elves trained to perfection. Look how well she'd trained that thief, Arpid ( ... )

For such a big man, he managed to move silently, and Brienne actually took a step back, biting back the rather unknightly startled cry she wanted to let out. She also tried hard to ignore the fact that he wasn't wearing much in the way of clothing, which, for a modest girl raised in Westeros was a difficult prospect.

Jaw tightening, she nodded. "It seems you're ready to spar," she said, moving to a defensive stance, sword at the ready.

He twirled his sword in his hand. "Come on, then. Let's see you use that thing." With a speed belied by his sheer size, Mathayus attacked.

((We... should maybe work the details out beforehand? :) ))

((Probably a good idea. Are you on IM right now? I can get that way, or I'm in IRC.))

Arya was up a tree, far enough away that she hadn't been immediately noticeable and hadn't noticed Brienne at first. Once she did notice, though, she paused, lowered Needle, and climbed a few trees over to observe. Brienne's movements weren't as graceful as a water dancer's (what little Arya had seen from an actual water dancer--she'd been improvising the rest based on the foundation that Syrio had given her) but as they were more along the lines of a traditional Westerosi knight it was to be expected. She sat on a branch and continued to observe, looking for weaknesses to exploit and strengths to bring into her own techniques.

Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on your point of view, Brienne was oblivious to Arya's presence, for the moment, and especially once she got a new and unexpected sparring partner.

((I'm fine with Arya tagging in the other thread or giving Brienne an excuse to look up and acknowledge Arya. It's totally up to you.))
