**Rose stands in a training arena, standing on the edge of the circle. A gleeful light is in her eyes as she looks for her opponent, while holding a training sword point down. She advances to the middle of the arena and gives a warrior's salute with the practice sword. She gives her challenge** I, Rose Mercedes Willowfly of Noonvale, born on the most frigid winter night with fur the color of the rose, challenge Noel, Daughter of Arabi-Athem, House of Dragons to combat with the training blade in preperation and practice for the day that we may have to use the skills learned in pitched combat. Step forward to fight, if you accept my challenge. NOONVALE!!!!!!! **She holds up her sword triumphantly, waiting for Noel's reply**

**Noel's smile is grim, yet polite, as she steps into the ring three paces away from the former Noonvaler. The ferret nods to Rose and salutes formally with her padded training sword.** I accept your due challenge, Rose Willowfly. And though I pray that a time will not come where our combat here shall be necessary, I swear I shall never let down my fellow warriors by slacking in unpreparedness. Thus, I spar with you on a grim note; but also in good hope that our time is not to waste... **Noel raises her sword half way and nods again. Then, she crouches slightly and slowly circles her opponent, eyeing her carefully.**

**Rose nods in acceptance and follows the warrior with her eyes, apparently relaxed, but poised to spring, waiting for her opponent to make her move**

**The kind ferret maiden suddenly spins backwards in the middle of her circling and steps forward, swinging a low attack at Rose's lower thigh.**

**Rose brings her training sword down easily to block the blow, retaliating with a twist-upper cut to the ferret's left upper arm**

**Noel moves with surprising speed and steps to the side and back a little to avoid the counter-atttack. Then she starts circling again and waits for Rose to attack.**

**Having gotten a feel for her opponent's strength, the squirrel attacked, swiftly, with a flurry of blows aimed at the ferret's chest**

**Noel received the on-slaught and swiftly blocked the blows, backing up slowly as she did.** Good! **The ferret maiden then side steps to Rose's right and jabs at her lower ribs.**

**Rose spins and blocks the blow, retaliating with a slice aimed at Noel's neck** Good yourself!

**Noel falls back with a bit of clumsiness. The ferret chuckles and steps forward for a low attack at the squirrel's hip, hoping it will at least get nicked.**

OOC: Can't get knicked, we're using wooden swords, so HA!
BIC: **Rose hops lightly back. As Noel's weapon passed harmlessly by, the squirrel attempted to disarm her opponent by employing a move that she learned long ago, moving as if to attack, she suddenly slashed downward, aiming for her enemy's paw**

OOC: You dont' have to have a sharp sword to get nicked... It simply means that you are poked sharply with something. HAHA!!
BIC: **Noel snaps her paw back and deflected the blow with a hard, quick flick. She thrusts out at Rose's ribs again.**

OOC: No it doesn't! I looked it up. It means to cut something.
BIC: **Rose blocks the blow deftly, bringing up her sword's 'blade'. She lashed out at her opponent's neck, attempting to trip her with her tail at the same time**

OOC: Sorry.. Doesn't matter that much to me.
BIC: **Noel hops over the tail, but is knocked by Rose's blow across her right arm, which had slipped forward when she jumped.** Hmph! **The ferret lands solidly and drops slyly onto on leg, swinging the other in a sweeping motion at Rose's ankles, hoping to trip the squirrel.**

**Caught off-guard by the move, Rose stumbles backwards. However, she manages to regain her balance in time, and steadies herself easily. She hops lightly forward, slicing downwards at the ferret's exposed belly.**

OOC: My back isn't exposed, unless you are going to reach down beneath me.. Please try again. My belly is up-wards, though.

OOC: Okay.. Thanks.
BIC: Whoa! **Noel rolls to the side quickly and springs up.** Hehe! You'll have to be a little faster, Rose.. **The ferret readies herself for an attack, her wooden sword held in front of her at medium height.** I'll let you make the next move..

**Bobbing a quick curtsy, Rose straightened and attacked swiftly, feinting to the right and cutting across to the left.**

**Noel gives a grunt as she is forced backwards a step. The blow was blocked by a swift raise of her sword; but it was still an awkward strike; thus, Noel automatically had to step a pace backwards.** Hm.. good one! Hyaa!! **The ferret maiden dips her weapons suddenly and jerks upwards in an even more swift and unusual move to bring the edge slashing towards Rose's collarbone.**

**Rose stumbles backwards, blocking the blow clumsily. Trying to recover, she straightens her brush behind her. Thinking quickly, she uses the inbalance to her advantage, balancing on her left footpaw and tail, and lashing out at her opponent's chin with her right footpaw.**

Uff! **Noel's head is yanked backwards as Rose's footpaw comes in contact with her chin. Thankfully, since she did indeed jerk her head backwards, the impact was lessened; and she recovered quickly by reaching out for Rose's ankle with her free paw and stabbing out at the squirrel's gut at the same time.**

**Unable to properly defend herself from the awkward position, Rose grunts and twists to the side, so that the blade would have grazed her side if it were not padded. Freeing herself from Noel's grasp, the squirrel warrior regains her feet and holds her sword in a defensive position.** Your move.

OOC: Ahem.. Since we know eachother and have a right to being slightly annoying sometimes, I'm going to correct your problems here. 1) You "freed" yourself from a firm grip. You footpaw was in the air, in my paw. It isn't easy to release yourself from those situations. 2) You used the term "feet". (( ;D ;D ;D-- That whole deal was just a bit over done, but true. Though, I would be grateful if you didn't do the god-moding thing with 1) ))
BIC: Actually, it's yours. I stabbed your gut. **Shrugs and strikes out for the squirrel's right shoulder.**

OOC: On your first point- You're right, I should've explained. She rolled to the side. That would've made it pretty hard for you to hang on. On the second point- BIC: **The squirrel maiden smiled.** And missed. But if you insist... **Rose strikes swiftly feinting a blow to her opponent's chest and swerving to the right.**
