[i]Irina simply nodded, beginning to walk towards the other side of the courtyard. As she walked away, she smirked a little, where Alyssa couldn't see her. She didn't know that the girl was THAT nice. As she was about eight feet away, Irina spun around and looked at Alyssa, before drawing the blade at her side from its holster. The shining blade that protruded from the decorated copper grip was sharpened and gleaming, similar to a katana although completely straight. The weapon and grip was about 5'8 feet long, while the dagger protruding from the handle was 16 inches long. Irina grabbed onto the grip with both hands, and with a loud clang of metal, tore the dagger from the handle of the sword. She held both blades at her side, setting her right foot out and her left foot behind her. She was ready for combat. [/i]
