just for show [fight/ orion]

Orion had just arrived from his latest mission, involving some heirloom or another. He needed a stiff drink, a well-deserved nap, and maybe even a couple of cigarettes. He was set to go out once again tomorrow, after all. Another request got thrown into his lap, and he wasn't even sure if accepting it was the best idea. But her did anyways. Work was work, even though it was boring.

From then entrance, he could hear some guild members chattering. He listened in, or more so their voices carried over. Bonnie, it seems, was their target. He knew the woman, but not all that well. Her sword and armor made her look like a knight. Orion always thought she was a Requip-type mage of some kind.

"Are you saying I'm supposed to... Work to stay here?"

Orion couldn't help but wander towards the group, and reply, "Well, working gets you money, which buys you things you need in life." He examined her, her hand never leaving her sword. She had to know how to use that thing, so why isn't she taking any missions.

"Your sword. You a Requip mage?" Orion asked, taking a seat across from the girl. He shooed away the other members pestering the young woman with a dark glare. "I've only met one Requip mage, and he gave me this katana, you see." Orion held up his own sword for the woman to see. It was cheap, unclean, and very used. But it was his, and he was proud of it.

Bonnie Belle

Orion stared at her sword. It looked battered and old. As though it had seen too many battles in its lifetime. It hummed a warsong. Unlike his katana, the sword was straight, and double-edged. Without even touching it, Orion knew the amount of damage it can do, even at its almost deplorable state. The rust alone could cause a disease if cut by the blade. He was quickly wary.

"You can never have enough money, for a rainy day," Orion shrugged, now leaning back as he flicked a glance at his own blade. It had seen little combat, and Orion had been meaning to change that. The problem was that he never really had the need to use it for combat, opting instead to use long-ranged attacks. He needed to change that.

"How about a spar?" Orion looked at Bonnie, "I've been meaning to use my sword more often, and there's a spell that I had wanted to practice anyways," scratching his head, he continued, "plus, it'll get you some practice too, and maybe kick-start yourself in doing missions!" He smiled at the girl, "It'll be a friendly spar, nothing too serious."

Bonnie Belle

"It's a fight, there's always one that will lose," Orion started, "but that does not mean anything. We're guild mates, after all." He smiled reassuringly. He cannot guarantee that there will not be any injuries, or even near-death instances. A spar. A fight. Both were one and the same, it was the company that mattered. Bonnie can be assured that she was in good company, at least.

The man stood up at the same time as his guild mate did. It gathered a few observers, watching the two take their leave. As Bonnie paused and mentioned sparring within the guild, he had to stop her mid-sentence, "NO! Definitely not!" Orion chuckled nervously, looking around and making sure the guild master was not in sight, "The last time I caused a mess in here...it wasn't good..."

"Let's best be off to the training grounds outside," Orion took the lead. The place was very close, just adjacent the guild building. Close enough for any support needed, but far enough to lessen the amount of stray spells possibly hitting the building. Orion took the farthest side, and waited for Bonnie to get her own spot. He called out, "Rules? Do you have any preferences?" It was only the polite thing to do to ask your opponent what they might expect out of this, after all.

Bonnie Belle

"That sounds good to me," Orion unsheathed his katana, and brandished it left and right, checking its balance as he prepared his body for the fight. A warm-up is always a must, and Orion was one who never started a fight without getting his joints all greased.

With a flick of his sword, Orion was off the ground and heading towards Bonnie. In battle, time was never wasted, and if one can get the first hit, and one should always capitalize. Orion had learned that the hard way when he first became a wizard. He still could feel the bruise from where his sparring partner had once stabbed him.

A slash was sent towards Bonnie's way, hoping for it to land. Orion was not a man that used his sword often, mostly as a medium for his magic. He was rusty, prone to mistakes, but ready to learn from a swordswoman like Bonnie.

Orion saw the attack, and narrowly evaded it with a quick pivot. His body had been trained well, but his mind has been sharpening since his first mission as a wizard. Training the body was never enough, strength can only take you so far. Wit, and in combination, reflexes, save lives.

"Almost got me there, princess," Orion smirked, trying to goad Bonnie into making mistakes as he headed in for another slash of his katana.

A quick dash, and another attempt at hitting his opponent. He was not sure if his form, or even the way he fought, was good, but his first attempt seemed to work, so why not try a second time?

The attack hit, and Orion felt a part of him was pulled away. It felt invasive, horrid, and very uncomfortable. Leech magic. It was subtle, but it was there, and it hurt like hell. Orion grunted in pain, before stepping aside, and taking a quick breather.

"Magic, huh?" Orion got it, but he did agree to play fair. The damage was done, but he was definitely not out yet. With a quick shift, Orion leaped up into the air, and brought his sword for a huge momentum, hoping that his momentous attack might unnerve his oppenent.

"Motherfu-" Orion was pushed back once again, the blade of his enemy cutting into his torso. He felt the magic seep into his being, and pulsate outward, taking another piece of Orion's life force. He couldn't do anything, but l;et his body be lifted and carried away by the sheer force of the attack. It was strong, and very irritating.

"You've got to- fuck this, God Forc-" Orion stopped, shaking his head and cursing his own stupid honour. He had promised, after all, that he was not going to use his magic.

"Stupid idiot." he grumbled, cursing his own noble self, before getting himself ready once more. Heels dug into the earth, before he pushed himself off and took another swipe at Bonnie. Chunks of earth flew in his wake, his frustration starting to get the better of him. With katana to the side, Orion feinted left, hoping to catch the woman on the right side with another slash.
