She blocked his blow easily. She then struck at him from the side. She kept striking; right, left, down. Then in the middle of a swing, she kicked out at him and hit him squarely in the chest.

The strick winded him, and he was sent flying backwards into a nearby tree. The impact wasn't particularly damaging, and after a second hunched over he regained his breath. "Poor."

She now stood beside him, blade held at his throat. "Having fun? Still bored?" she mocked coldly.

"Just a little. Let's keep the game going." He vanished from where he stood, reappearing directly above Atuan and brought his sword down violently."

She lifted her sword with only a moment to spare. Her knees buckled a little but she stayed standing. "Not bad."

"You're more than you appear yourself. I admit I've never been placed in a situation where I had to fight to live, but it's something I've always longed for..."

"Well," she said as she continued to fight, "it's a comepletely different situation when your life is in danger. I've been doing it all my life. You are going to have a problem in the future if you don't shape up." She smirked and pushed him down.

"oh yes. Your money will save you. What good will it do? Do you intend to make a suit of armor out of it? Money has nothing to do with survival." As the man swung at her she barely had to duck due to her shortness. she did a quick back-handspring, her spiky hair brushing the ground, and lunged toward him.

"Everything is for sale. If someone can't be bought, then hire someone else to kill them, that's how the world works. Getting attached to someone is painful business." He darted to the side, barely avoiding her attack.

"hn. Sounds as if you've lost your lover. That proves your weakness. love is for the the simple-minded. Tell me, if your philosophy is true then was she killed, or," she forced her sword towards him so her face was close to his, "is it that someone bought her off you? How much did you get for her?"

Darcia's eyes narrowed and he lunged at her. "How dare you make such an implication?"

"Hn. So I was right. You did have a lover. Why did you love her so? Was it because she was wealthy? or did she just make your nights less lonely? Isn't that why men take a mate?"
