"Yep! Fun times! The blood, the murder, and gore! So wonderful."
Traci sighed in a nostalgic manner.

"O.....kay?" Garin would reach to his waist to unsheathe one of his swords. "I want to gauge just how good you are. Ready your weapons, and stand over there."
-
"You're challenging me?" Traci raised a brow. "D-Do you know how bad that will end?"
-
"Probably with a few stitches, maybe a broken rib." He shrugs. "A simple duel. No magic or anything, alright?" He unsheathed his second sword and readied his stance.

"No magic or anything? Okie-dokie!" Traci placed down her backpack and pulled out a large polearm from it despite it being physically impossible to fit something like that in there. "I hope you're not doing this just so you can look up my skirt..." She said in a joking tone, not actually believing that's why he wanted the duel.

Garin chuckled and shook his head. "Usually, the challenger gets the first move, but as you're new here, at least to me, I'll let you have first move." Garin readied his stance and grinned. It had been a while since he had been in a real fight.
-
Traci laughed as she jumped up on the tip of her polearm, balancing on the top with one of her feet in an extreme show of balance and skill. "Look at me! Pretty cool, right?"
-
Garin squinted for a moment. "What the hell?"
-
"Hmm..." Traci suddenly flipped forward, grabbing the polearm as she did. She slammed it down on Garin's location with a giggle. "Fun?!"
-
Garin thrust his swords forward in a X to block and parry the polearm to the side, then jumped back. "Where the hell do people learn to fight like this?"
-
"The insane asylum!" Traci flipped back, still smiling as she twirled her weapon around a bit. "Nah, not really! Just that being faster, stronger, more flexible, and overall better than a human allows for certain...certain strategies."
-
Garin was puzzled by the girl's extremely positive attitude. He shook his head as he slowly advanced towards Traci.
-
The young girl swiped with the polearm, purposely trying to fake out Garin by not going far enough to hit him before thrusting forward.
