Okay. So, his move hadn't been successful in the conventional sense—Peter had read him and sidestepped away, keeping his back and his scarf to himself, and Rory whirled on the spot to keep him in his sights again. Seemingly nothing gained, but Rory's theory had proven true: Peter was faster and more agile, and another tidbit gleaned was that his reflexes were very fast. He was no stranger to combat, even if no sharp objects were involved.
Which meant that Rory had only about two ways of besting Peter: getting hold of him and trying to out-wrestle him with brute force, or with magic.
Charred corpses still didn't sound good.
But, he had other tricks up his sleeve, and he'd get around to them soon enough.
He'd try his first option again, though, rapidly advancing on Peter, hoping to read his body and move with him—not quite trying to close the distance enough to touch, just.. get close enough to be able to start thinking about it. Getting close enough to tackle him might be the endgame, but it was just as much an exercise in reading and predicting movement patterns, as he hoped to put Peter on a sort of side-stepping defensive.
Rory's aim, low-key, was to bully him into backing into the fence, and if he was successful in driving Peter into the fence (or trip him over a water trough) he'd immediately seize onto the chance and make a grab for the scarf, but if not.. well, eventually he'd get to those other tricks.
Training post 2/4!
I didn't really know how to explain it but by like pseudo-attacking he's trying to make Peter sidestep/back up continuously xD I imagine Rory will sometimes misjudge in which direction he decides to dodge but yeah I imagine it a bit like Rory is the a cutting horse and Peter the cow <_<;
