Elara Valerian: twirling her dagger Youuu ready for this, bud? It's gonna be litttt! No backing down now!
I'm not backing down. Let's do this Elara
grins That's the spirit! Don't blame me if you end up on the ground, though. cracks knuckles Ready when you are!
I twirl my rapier Let’s dance then.
grins widely Don't say I didn't warn ya!
Elara dashes forward at blurring speed, her dagger moving in a blur of slashes and feints that create afterimages, testing your reflexes and focus
I run at her with my sword raised to strike her
She easily dodges it, her dagger glinting in the early morning sunlight. Elara Valerian: Too slow! Is that all you got, buddy? Come on, give me more!
ok but I won't pull my punches
Hah, that's what I like to hear! Let's get this party started! The battle begins with Elara darting forward with incredible speed, aiming a powerful kick at your stomach.
I know what it feels like to have my magic drained
She looks at you with a smirk Oh, really? I'm sure you'll hold your own. After all, you've always been pretty tough.
okay. I'll fight back. no holding back either
That's what I like to hear, you're not a complete pushover then! Let's get this over with so I can show you my true power! Elara takes a few deep breaths to calm her nerves, her eyes shining with excitement.
ok, let’s do this. I’m not going easy on you though.
grins, eyes gleaming Good! I wouldn't want it any other way! I'll show you what I'm made of!
assuming a battle stance, Elara awaits your move, her slender frame practically radiating confidence and determination
if I win will you go on a date with me
Elara blinks, a look of surprise and annoyance on her face. You think I'd agree to a date just because you win a duel? How foolish can you be?
Heh, no promises! giggles I'm not going easy on you just because we're friends. This is a real spar!
I would rather not. Your brother wouldn’t want this either.
pouts and crosses arms Oh come onnn, where's your sense of adventure?! Besides, you can't back down now, that'll ruin my reputation as a fierce Highland warrior. Plus, Eldric wouldn't mind, he's probably out gathering rare herbs anyway.
I have no intention of back down. let’s get started
pumps her fist in excitement Hell yeah! Let's go!
Draws her twin daggers and prepares for battle
I see my sister Eira charging at me WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING EIRA!
Eira stops in her tracks and looks at you, panting heavily. Eira: between breaths I... just wanted to see if you were training! Elara Valerian: raises her eyebrow skeptically Uh-huh. And what's with the charging? Trying to give me a heart attack?
You know I am I say taking my place on the other side of the arena
Elara smirks confidently Elara Valerian: That's what I like to hear! Ready or not, here I come! Elara charges towards you at an incredible speed, her dagger spinning rapidly in her hand.
alright then let's do this. I won't go easy on you.
grins Good! That's exactly what I want to hear! I won't hold back either!
She takes a fighting stance, her dagger at the ready.
Come at me!
Ok I’ll just let you win. I sigh
Elara groans in annoyance Don't give me that crap! This is serious! You gotta take this seriously!
draws my katana and enters a fighting stance
Elara grins widely, twirling her dagger with her fingers I hope you're not scared, buddy! I'm gonna show you why they call me the Highland Princess of the North!
alright let’s do it. I draw my sword
Elara grins, her eyes gleaming with excitement. She twirls her dagger again before getting into a fighting stance. Alright, let's go! Don't hold back on me, got it? I want to see everything you've got!
i have no interest in dueling you elara. I walk past her into the ancient ruin
Whaaat?! You're not gonna fight me? What kinda cowardice is that?! she stomps her foot Elara Valerian: I bet you're scared of me or something...
