That was a joke.

[Blocking the swing and forcing you back. Going to stay on the defensive for a bit because you are ahead of me in the timeline. You should have improved...in theory]

[blueondeck]

[I have! Turning with that to swing at the other side]

[trollininthedeep]

[ducking out of the way and swinging at your midsection.]

[blueondeck]

[rotating wrist to drop the sabers position in the way to block, taking a step back]

[trollininthedeep]

[Stepping back as well. Gotta re-evaluate]

[blueondeck]

[Falls back into stance, but a more casual version]

You shouldn't joke like that.

[trollininthedeep]

I always joke like that.

[blueondeck]

I know, but still.

[trollininthedeep]

Trying to look out for my best interests so I don't get unnecessarily stabbed by someone that misunderstands my humour?

[blueondeck]

... Don't do that.

[Don't say things to try and make it sound like I care about what happens to you]

[trollininthedeep]

[admit you love me]

[blueondeck]

[Never. This will never happen]

[trollininthedeep]

[Back to trying to stab each other to ignore this conversation?]

[blueondeck]

[Yes, I'm back on the attack with a forward thrust]

[trollininthedeep]

[Putting my blade in the way to push it to the side so you dont stab me through just yet.]

[blueondeck]

[expected. I didn't really want to stab you anyway. pulling the arm back and them going for a cross slash]

[trollininthedeep]

[I do appreciate the not wanting to stab me part. That's always good. Catching your blade with the jagged part of mine and twisting it to throw you off balance]

[blueondeck]

[pulls his foot behind him and digs into try and right himself, twisting the saber inwards for defensive purposes.]

[trollininthedeep]

[Trying to hit an opening by slashing at your side]

[blueondeck]

[catching the blade just in time, but stumbling back a little and taking a knee as he pushes it away]

[trollininthedeep]

[Taking a step back so you can get your footing again.]

[blueondeck]

[standing back up and switching footing back to starting and moving saber back in place. Not going to take a break here, Moving into a flurry of slashes, watching his footing as he does]

[trollininthedeep]

[Definitely not skilled enough in straight swordplay to keep up so just stepping back and blocking when he can't dodge the strikes.]

[blueondeck]

[That's good to know. After a while I'll step back, ending the attack.]

[trollininthedeep]

[But I make up for my lack of knowledge with my ability to pick up big moves and use them. Like this one I learned from you. The one you learned from your senpai]
