Sparring Time(Cira)

[Cira Knight]

Cira made an x-shaped block with the blades, oh so glad she had them and was prepared. She didn't move much from her position except to shift silghtly to deliver a swinging side kick to the gut - the move was not quite a round house kick though the motion started out as one. The flat foot allowed more power. Less precision, but in this case she wasn't concerned about that. She didn't use full force on the teen in case the hit was direct. However, Cira wondered if she could pull that sword back and down fast enough to snag her leg. It was possible, so it wouldn't take long for Cira to find out. She was definitely "sticking her leg out" for this one.

Anna let out a soft grunt from Cira's kick, really enduring the pain and causing her to take a step back from the blow. She even drew back her sword slight enough just in case Cira once more went in for a follow up attack but the slightly younger woman had caught sight for a chance to strike. With her sword pulled back enough she quickly brought it down at Cira's leg, not exactly where it would harm her of course but enough force with the flat side of the blade to hit the side of Cira's leg that would no doubt have left her with some kind of injury. Not exactly a life threatening one perhaps but certainly if it were a real fight there would have been some damage.

As she predicted, the sword managed to ding her knee before she fully pulled it back. It even swung close to other leg due to its length, but not enough to hit. That might leave another bruise later, too. "Not bad, I knew that swing was gonna happen." She cross stepped back into a new stance as she reconsidered what to do next. She sprung forward on her hands, changed her stance almost 90 degrees and jabbed at Anna's right side. This time, she had more time to stand up straighter, which may give Anna more time to turn.

Maybe if this progressed well a little further, she ask Anna if she wanted to learn some Parkour.
