Escape Artistry: Week 3, Period 3 (Thurs. 07/24)

The Danger Shop was set up like the Salle. The main difference was the giant Satedan in the center of the room, going through a complicated practice routine with a bokutō blade. When they arrived, he stopped and approached the group with a feral smile, spinning the wooden sword in his hand as he spoke.

"Today we're sword fighting. If it's your first fight, there's a handout for you. First thing to know about sword fighting: keep your eyes straight ahead. Focus on the enemy. Never ever look away from your enemy. It shows weakness. Are you weak?" He stared down a couple students in particular as he paced the floor in front of them all. "Second thing: You’ve gotta anticipate the enemy's next move. Always be ready. I'll give you a minute to look at the papers." Ronon stepped away, preparing to instruct them on how this was going to go down.

It didn't matter that it meant she got hit in the side, it still technically worked. She didn't really acknowledge that she got hit, even, just backed off enough to get back into position.

Ronon smirked, even as he attacked again, slicing his blade toward her shoulder.

Jaina was a little more forceful with her block this time, quickly bringing her sword down to try and get him in the ribs.

Ronon grimaced, taking the blow and taking the opportunity to slash at her neck in return.

She was not interested in that sort of hurt, no. She barely ducked in time- yay for being short- though that was what nearly threw her off balance when she stood up straight again.

With her off balance, he struck from the other side, sending his blade at her side.

That still hurt, but it was better than the neck. Also, it almost made her fall over, and the only reason she could say 'almost' was because she tucked into a roll at the last second so it looked more impressive than just falling.
