Are
To the ground, with all the power he could muster he was determined to bring the fight to home turf. Just as he leaned back and prepared to drive them both over his shoulder he found himself over extending just as he'd done before, and with the same reward coming right up from out of his periphery.
A padded gambeson worked fine to dampen weapon blows, light, sharp, and quick they did no more than make some noise and leave him with a nice bruise. What a strike with a little more weight and power behind it did he became acutely aware of though, as a knee hit home, and hit deep. Are felt his jerking toss being thrown off by a sting of pain severe enough to send a burst of stars through his vision.
Momentum was not something the world took lightly though, and all that force put into getting his foe off his feet had to go somewhere. Somewhere seemed to be a good way skywards as he slipped out of Are's grip only to be sent in the vague direction of the clouded Leafchange sun.
Even as his whole world was busy righting itself and stop spinning he scrambled to his feet and was back in stance before he had figured out which way was up. A deep, wheezing breath turned into a coughing fit turned into a hearty laugh as he realized he had already been beaten, twice in fact.
"Two for two, you're one hell of a fighter let me tell you!" he said as he laughed and went over to check up that the tumble hadn't gotten Cera more than a few more bruises. "We need to do this again soon, although maybe not quite as energetic, maybe you can even bring a weapon of your own and hand me my ass on a completely different platter, eh?" Are said with another roaring laugh and a whince of pain as his side protested about the abuse it had received. "I should probably get to the infirmary though, it's been a while and I think they might be missing me."
