I nodded and stopped walking a few feet in front of the elf looking man. I've seen a large amount of knives due to my brother's collection, some simple twirling didn't even come close to startling me.
"Grumpy? We're having fun. Isn't that right, V?"
"I'll see you tomorrow, Don."
The angel girl walked out of the building and flew away.

"You two a thing or something? Just a hunch." [b][i]He said, as he put the knife away. He continued walking into the room.[/i][/b] "Also hey, have you seen a human chick, about 5'10", black hair, might be mistaken for a man in the wrong light?"
-
"No! No. We're not a thing." I answered...probably a bit too defensively. "And no. I don't remember someone that fits that extremely vague description that probably fits a few dozen people in the area."

T: "Damn. Where in the seven hells is she?" [b][i]He said, before a voice was heard behind him, distinctly female as Jess walked through the door. She wore her usual apparel of a burgundy too revealing her midriff, black cargo pants and leather boots, and black biker gloves. In the wrong light someone might mistake her for a man, her features being more masculine. A tattoo ran all across her right arm and on the sides of her midriff.[/i][/b] J: "Damn this place is big, and I'll tell you we definitely aren't the strange ones here Tal." T: "Yeah well since when have we been?"
-
"So, uhh....Hello, random girl I don't know." I waved at Jess a little with a shrug before turning back to Tal. "Should I leave you two alone? I could leave if you want."
-
T: "I was just gonna help her with some swordsmanship. Feel free to stay and enjoy the show if you'd like. Really couldn't care less." [b][i]Tal said, quite honest about that[/i][/b] J: "Who knows, maybe he can actually give me a challenge." [b][i]Jess retorted[/i][/b]

"I'm not a superhuman, so I doubt that. I do however have a lot of experience with real fighting with a sword. It's not the flashy kind of sh*t though. It's not fencing either where you can only use the blade and not the rest of your body." I had confidence in my ability to fight with swords since I've been practicing real fighting since a rather young age. People seem to forget to use their whole body when fighting with weapons. It's kinda sad.
-
T: "Good, seems we're all in the same boat then. Neither of us are super human, I mean I'm what your races would consider an elf, but otherwise I'm the same as you." J: "And we don't do that fancy bullshit. Stabs, jabs, kicks, pommel strikes. You use anything you can in a swordfight."
-
"Alright, I guess there's no reason not to. I'm not very fit, but I should have enough endurance for a small sparring match." I was thinking of the possibility they were here to kill me or scout me or something. I decided it was best to fight casually. If it turned into life or death I needed the energy.
-
J: "Good, someone who's ACTUALLY gonna be a challenge." [b][i]She says jokingly looking st Tal.[/i][/b] T: "Yeah. Cause me winning out last 5 matches doesn't say I'm a challenge."
-
"I doubt I'll be much of a challenge, but thank you." I walked back towards the center of the room, picking up a simple broad sword out of a bin of weapons on the way.
-
[b][i]She took out the escirma in her hip, spinning it with one hand. As she did, the weapon changed in the blink of an eye, now a four foot long two handed blade[/i][/b] J: "This is gonna be fun."

I sighed, I really wished I had cool stuff like that. Instead I'm just some completely normal...somewhat normal kid in a world full of magical people that break the laws of physics almost constantly. "Or a slaughter." I joked back with a friendly smile. Gotta play nice or risk having a super soldier being out to kill you just because you looked at them.

[spoiler]jess is actually a normal human so you know. She's just got an elvish weapon, so it transforms like that[/spoiler] J: "Don't worry, it's just training. I'll make sure you have all your limbs after this." [i][b]She said, grabbing the handle with bith hands as she took a stance [/b][/i]
-
"That sounds reassuring. Thanks." I got into my own stance with my blade out in front of me. I began to circle Jess slowly, trying to get a feel for her movements.

[spoiler]-blam!-, sorry, fixed[/spoiler]

I took a very quick step back, dodging and being a punching bag has always been my strong suite. Sadly, I wasn't ever all that great at hitting or telling an actual attack from a fake one.
-
[b][i]She decided to push the offensive. She stepped forward with a thrust, watching for any counter he might throw[/i][/b]

I parried the sword upward as hard as I could right before kicking at her hip with my leg, attempting to knock her off balance.
