[For as unusually brief as Horst is being, he seems very relaxed. Content, even.]

[Offline]
Date: 2011-01-29 11:56 pm (UTC)The thing is, he's not entirely sure if Yuca would kill him (or try to; a sword won't kill him permanently). He suspects his 'friend' wouldn't even care if he did.
He ducks around behind Yuca, not willing to make an aggressive move yet.]

Date: 2011-01-30 12:03 am (UTC)[He turns on his heel, slashing the blade expertly behind him, toward where Horst is standing.]
You had a chance to take offense and you missed it. That could get you killed.
[Offline] there might be Horst short stories being written (!!!)
Date: 2011-01-30 12:07 am (UTC)What's a good offense, then?
[Horst moves to grab at Yuca's wrist]
[Offline] EEEE DO WANNNNT
Date: 2011-01-30 12:09 am (UTC)Something that won't leave you open to a counterattack.
[As if on cue, Yuca lifts his leg to aim a kick squarely toward Horst's stomach to get him away.]
[Offline] I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE A 'REVIVE HORST' CAMPAIGN
Date: 2011-01-30 12:14 am (UTC)[Offline] ngl, I wouldn't object to that
Date: 2011-01-30 12:16 am (UTC)[Offline] .../plans
Date: 2011-01-30 12:19 am (UTC)The blow to his head knocks some sense into him, but it also stuns him momentarily and his grip slackens.]

Date: 2011-01-30 12:22 am (UTC)Next time, try rolling. Even when you're wrestling on the ground, the person on their back has the disadvantage.
[Calmly. He's used to fighting. He doesn't mind it.]
[Offline]
Date: 2011-01-30 12:28 am (UTC)You do this a lot?
[He moves fast--not as fast as he can move, there's no blurring or disappearing--in an effort to get to a more advantageous position]
[Offline]
Date: 2011-01-30 12:30 am (UTC)[Yuca tries to take another step back- Horst is faster than he is, and this body isn't particularly muscular or lithe. He has to make do, but he can't stop Horst from moving closer.]
[Offline]
Date: 2011-01-30 12:33 am (UTC)[He grabs Yuca's sword hand, albeit a little clumsily, he nearly cut himself again. Then he attempts to knock it out of Yuca's grasp]
[Offline]
Date: 2011-01-30 02:37 am (UTC)Good. But the sword isn't the only weapon. You can't just focus on that- my hands and feet can be just as dangerous.
[Offline]
Date: 2011-01-30 02:46 am (UTC)And then he dives to get the sword.]
[Offline]
Date: 2011-01-30 02:50 am (UTC)...think of the blade as an extension of your arm. Don't swing it around- keep it close to your body and you'll have better control over it. I have a shorter reach then you, so there's no need to try to overextend yourself to get at me.
[Offline]
Date: 2011-01-30 02:58 am (UTC)Should I aim for anything in particular?
[Offline]
Date: 2011-01-30 03:07 am (UTC)[Indicating with his hands toward his torso.]
Stomach, chest, head. Stomach is preferable, since the chest is protected and the head is a small target. If you want to do damage, get out of that stance. Fencing is nice, but it's only applicable if you're accurate and have a rapier or some sort of sword like it. Stand with your sword side toward me, feet shoulder width apart. It makes you a smaller target and keeps your weapon between you and me.
[Offline]
Date: 2011-01-30 03:13 am (UTC)I don't really want to try to stab you. Long bits of metal make me a bit nervous.
[Offline]
Date: 2011-01-30 03:15 am (UTC)[As if to prove this, Yuca sidesteps quickly into Horst's range, bringing his wrist up to parry the flat of the blade as he moves in to strike again.]
[Offline]
Date: 2011-01-30 03:22 am (UTC)[He's cut off when Yuca moves. Horst moves with the blade, avoiding being hit and stepping around to try to corner Yuca against the pews]
[Offline]
Date: 2011-01-30 03:24 am (UTC)Then coming here was a waste of my time.
[Offline]
Date: 2011-01-30 03:29 am (UTC)[He taps the flat of the blade on Yuca's shoulder, half-knighting him, and then sets it down on one of the pews]
I didn't say I wouldn't fight you.
[That said he moves to hit Yuca in the stomach]
[Offline]
Date: 2011-01-30 03:33 am (UTC)At the sudden attack, he was caught off-guard, and bent over a little around Horst's fist, making a strangled sound, his eyes wide. Winded, but not incapacitated, Yuca wrapped a hand around Horst's wrist and used it to hold him there, hissing as his other hand snapped out to punch Horst in turn.]
[Offline]
Date: 2011-01-30 03:38 am (UTC)Then he grabs Yuca's shoulder with his free hand and tries to knock him sideways onto one of the benches]
