[u]I'll go with...[/u] Stinger stopped to think about it for a bit. He was fast, that's not debatable. Slashing is harder, maybe it's faster though. All Stinger has on Sarah is speed.
[u]The rapier. Let's go with that.[/u]

[u]"Very well."[/u] [i]After One Vision handed the sword towards Sarah, it turned towards Stinger to give him the shining rapier, both of its eyes locked upon the boy that it towered over. It was genuinely interested about this would go. Meanwhile, Sarah positioned herself some feet away, spinning around and locking upon Stinger as she twirled her sword.[/i] [u]"The challenger usually receives the first move."[/u]
-
[i]Well, I don't stand a chance... Let's hope I can make something work.[/i] Stinger stood there for a few seconds, preparing himself for the coming onslaught. [u]"Now or never, I guess."[/u] As he said these words, he feigned a strike straight at Sarah. About halfway through, he pulled back, spun to the left and struck again. All he could do is hope and pray he did something.

[i]In reaction to the first jab, Sarah twisted her body around to where the pointed weapon flew past her body. Upon the second, she swung her own sword, knocking away the rapier suddenly. She was impressed, evident by the friendly smile upon her face.[/i] [u]"Good, good."[/u]
-
[u]"Wait, really?"[/u] Stinger had to regain control of his sword and jumped back a bit. After Stinger said that, he spun to the left and jabbed again. This time, he didn't wait to see if he hit, instead he pulled out and jumped back another step into a more defense stance.
-
[u]"Yes, really."[/u] [i]Sarah genuinely enjoyed sword fighting, and she liked how Stinger had fought against her; playing offensively yet safe at the same time, something she respected.[/i] [i]Dodging the rapier barely this time, as it tore through her clothing slightly, Sarah began to move towards Stinger as she then swung towards his right hand. She could stop the blade if he didn't block or dodge, so it would be hopefully fine.[/i]
-
[u]Well thank you"[/u] Stinger was fast, but not fast enough. The blade cut his hand a tad. He decided it would be best to switch the blade from his strong left hand to his weaker left hand. He decided to not attack and instead play heavy defensive mode.
-
[i]Noticing the slight change, Sarah felt somewhat bad that she had injured the boy - but she didn't pay too much attention to it. She kept up her approach, twirling her sword before swinging it this time at Stinger's waist: it was clear that she wanted him to attack.[/i]

Stinger had to wait for an opening so he could prove his namesake. As Sarah continuously pushed forward on Stinger, he dodged all of her slashes. After he dodged the last one, he spun so he was facing Sarah's side and jabbed at it.

[spoiler]Which side is it? And she only swung once. You're fine, just be more descriptive at times.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]So is that it? Or do we keep going?[/spoiler]
