Touché

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sun Nov 06, 2011 4:31 pm

Nailah is bursting out of a door and running across the deck of the Emerald Crow, rapier drawn, grinning like a madwoman. Stopping and turning on a dime she faces Morrigan. "Go ahead, see if you can beat me out here." she grins.

"You just wanted the advantage of wings," she said with a smirk as she pursued the sphinx out onto the deck with a cutlass.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sun Nov 06, 2011 5:00 pm

"Quite obviously!" she laughs, spinning around and into a lunge at Sam.

by **Samantha McManus** » Sun Nov 06, 2011 5:04 pm

"I'd match you on that, but you'd accuse me of cheating," she said as she parried.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sun Nov 06, 2011 5:15 pm

"Oh don't worry, I'd still have an advantage." she smirks, dropping into a roll trying to get to the side of Sam to snap her weapon against her leg.

by **Samantha McManus** » Sun Nov 06, 2011 5:22 pm

"That my eyes might linger somewhere other than your blade?" She chuckled, nearly getting tagged but ultimately managing to sidestep.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sun Nov 06, 2011 5:32 pm

"I could drop the shirt if you really want to lose." she laughs, already one step ahead and coming back up on her feet from the roll with a thrust she knows isn't going to hit but will keep Sam on the defense.

by **Samantha McManus** » Sun Nov 06, 2011 6:06 pm

"I think I've more of a competitive streak than that," she said with a dodge before a swing of her own.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Sun Nov 06, 2011 6:14 pm

"I've been told I can be very convincing." she chuckles, a flap of her wings propelling her back in a small hop to avoid the swing.

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Nov 07, 2011 11:58 am

"Now who would say a silly thing like that?" She smirked, pressing her advantage with another swing.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Nov 07, 2011 12:14 pm

"Oh you know... people. Like the Condesa Bennàssar..." she teases, twisting Sam's strike to the side, stepping in close in the process.

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Nov 07, 2011 1:24 pm

"The Contessa has taken in any number of charlatans and mountebanks."

She spun about, getting ready to defend.

"She'd have lost her fortune dozens of times over if it wasn't for that blasted bodyguard of hers," Giancarlo."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Nov 07, 2011 1:38 pm

"Who's talking about her riches?" she winks, trying to get Sam with a playful swat as she steps away.

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Nov 07, 2011 1:44 pm

"Sometimes I rather think you want me jealous," she laughed as the swat connected.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Nov 07, 2011 1:54 pm

"Maybe a little..." she admits with a smirk.

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Nov 07, 2011 1:59 pm

"Anything to keep the fire, eh?"

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Nov 07, 2011 2:10 pm

"Nah, mostly just for fun. And it made you drop your guard." she says with a cheeky grin.

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Nov 07, 2011 2:23 pm

"What can I say? You can be very convincing."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Nov 07, 2011 2:32 pm

"Yes yes, go ahead and indulge me, I won't complain." she laughs.

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Nov 07, 2011 2:38 pm

"As you're learning, I'm very accommodating," she said as she went to tag the sphinx.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Nov 07, 2011 2:44 pm

"Oh I see how it is." she chuckles, trying to parry but still being forced back by the sturdier weapon.

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Nov 07, 2011 6:39 pm

"Thought for certain flattery would distract you," she chuckled.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Nov 07, 2011 6:45 pm

"Precog, my dear." she smirks, tapping her own head with her weapon.

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Nov 07, 2011 6:52 pm

"Oh, you don't want to get into what havoc I could wreak on that..."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Mon Nov 07, 2011 6:53 pm

"The shapeshifter has another trick up her sleeve?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Mon Nov 07, 2011 6:58 pm

A smirk crossed her lips, and soon there were about six strikes that Nailah's precognition seemed to predict for the redhead, each equally as likely.

And indeed, the Morrigan did choose then to strike... but it wasn't any of those six.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Nov 08, 2011 2:58 am

Nailah stumbles back, more than a little surprised by that and tries to play off almost falling on her butt by going into a backwards roll that ends with her hitting the back of her head on the railing.

"The hell was that?" she asks, rubbing the back of her head. Too perplexed to be embarassed.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Nov 08, 2011 3:07 am

"...a feint," she said as she offered Nailah a hand up.

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Nov 08, 2011 3:09 am

"That's no feint I've ever seen." She somewhat begrudgingly accepts Sam's help in getting up.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Nov 08, 2011 3:17 am

"I didn't get where I am now just on my looks."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Nov 08, 2011 3:19 am

"What you... mess with people's heads?"

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Nov 08, 2011 3:23 am

"Not yours, save just now..."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Nov 08, 2011 3:26 am

"Well alright then." she says, still with some slight suspicion in her eyes.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Nov 08, 2011 3:29 am

"I'm not one to take away someone's will."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Nov 08, 2011 3:34 am

"Of course. Sorry, I didn't meant to imply..."

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Nov 08, 2011 12:23 pm

"...suppose showing off really wasn't the way for you to find out."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Nov 08, 2011 12:51 pm

"It was... confusing to say the least."

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Nov 08, 2011 1:24 pm

"That was the one and only time you'll find it used on you."

by **Nailah Weaver** » Tue Nov 08, 2011 1:35 pm

"That's a relief." she jokes, though there's certainly some truth to it.

by **Samantha McManus** » Tue Nov 08, 2011 1:49 pm

"Maybe that's enough sparring for now?"
