Aurelia
hear those bells ring deep in the soul
chiming away for a moment
chiming away for a moment
The girl's reaction to her swing is good, it's quick and lithe in all the ways it needs to be. She escapes the dig of Aurelia's dagger by leagues, and rather than be frustrated by it, Aurelia can't stop the grin that spreads. It's accompanied by a small, dark chuckle.
The dagger comes for her hip and her arm darts out to block the hit. Then, and this may really be unexpected, her leg kicks up in a movement that snaps for the girl's ribs. It's intended to push her off, force her back or at least force her away. It's difficult to focus on multiple things at once, and Aurelia hopes to use that against the girl - who is not as unskilled as she believes herself to be.
It's here that she'll stop, though, pausing as she spies the height of the moon from her peripheral; the paler brightness that bleeds across the sky. Sheathing her blade and stepping back so as to clearly avoid any further moves, she puts up her hands and says, "Alright, I think that's all we have time for. You probably... should stay out of the sun, right?"
But she does hesitate for a few moments and then finally says, "I live here in Torchline so, if you ever want to spar again, just ask around for 'Aurelia'." She offers a crooked half-smile at that, before making her way up the beach, heading back home.
fin~!
