It was good to hear that Zavien was enjoying himself, and even better to see that his initial appraisal of the Dragoon was correct. Whether by luck or skill or both the Breaker evaded Hadama's return attack. Keeping the trident in motion, Hadama bounced the tines back up when he cut through only air, taking a step back to open the distance between them once more.
Zavien was already turning the Mer King's miss into an opportunity of his own, however, and it was not as easy to escape as he had thought it might be. The sword arced in once more, this time aimed at his thigh, and Hadama reacted without finesse as he swung his two-handed weapon to meet the incoming blade on the haft, blocking with brute force in place of deft technique. Emerald eyes bright in spite of his calm expression, he followed through by stepping forward once more, attempting to use his size and strength to push Zavien back.
