<span class="mu-i">Crashthunder weaves sideways, in a spray of water and kicks out - but not at his opponent but their blade, the move easier with blunted swords and trained to perfection. The Bokken snaps against the soft pond rocks, frightening the glistening fish. He swings his own blade in a follow-up to the opening but his opponent steps in, slamming his hand against the flatter side of the bokken. It hurts, but enough to slow him down and he finishes his movement by kicking directly into his own sword. Sudden, the blade is a bar that provides leverage but Crashthunder moves fluidly, maintains his balance, parries the follow-up but the swords lock and the Rikovian Rat shifts grip and shoulders the cross-parry sending both stumbling forward.
They catch their posture. Breathe in. Breathe out.
The Rikovian's eyes are wide, smiling. Glad. Dips his head in a quick acknowledgement. Both breathing hard.
Then he shifts his stance and <span class="mu-s">Focuses</span>, building up intent to strike with ruthles speed!</span>
>Crashthunder can take a duel turn.
