every time i think i've finally made it, i learn i'm farther away than i have ever been before
At Talyson's eagerness, Noah took a few steps back and readied his weapon. The courier drew his own, and Noah watched as the hare foot dangled from the blade. "That's excellent." His smile continued to broaden as he set his stance. He turned his body away from the lodge to indicate the best grounds for their spar, and when Tal was in place, Noah took the first attack.
Noah moved to close some distance between them, and moved his body in a half-circle, thrusting his spear down and towards Tal's hip and out again. It was a move he had dodged from Melita when he sparred with her before the war. Despite how he had mastered the maneuver for his own body, he was not nearly as swift as the Honeybee had been as she danced upon the water and attacked in such a way.
Noah didn't take any space back, but instead readied the end of the spear's hilt to defend against a coming attack.
NOAH
