With the return of the sun, Noah was energized. He vibrated with nervous energy. The coming of the twins was any day -- he knew he had been saying that for weeks, but in the last hours of longnight, his wife started having mild contractions. They had been told by Cordelia's mother and the other elder women that a first labor could take a long time, even a few days. Thus, Noah was sent out again to release some of his tension while his mother-in-law tended to his wife.

He ended up at the bay helping a few fishermen get ready and set for the day. He hadn't spent too much time on the black sands, and was eager to learn what they had for him. Today, however, Noah wasn't so sure it would be wise for him to head out to sea. So, after they were set, he ended up heading to another section of the beach where the black sands dropped to the water in a steep, nearly 90 degree angle.

There, he sat and watched the icy cold waves.

Sah

Just as Noah had been sent out by his mother-in-law, Cordelia's aunt came knocking on Sah's door. With a quick point and a stern command, she sent the Abandoned out to look out for his cousin-in-law. Following the other hunter's tracks, Sah quickly spotted the Demi-god.

Walking over, Sah stopped beside the other man and nudged his shoulder with his own. "Hey Noah. Feel like sparring?" He knew the other man was stressed. Gods, Sah was stressed. Cordelia's due date loomed, and the Wild Thunder eagerly awaited the day that their family grew.

A spar would do them both some good. It would also keep Noah from hovering and give Cordelia for a breather.

Glacier eyes turned from the frigid waters as Sah approached. While he didn't know that the Wild Thunder had been sent to keep him busy, Noah welcomed him and his presence all the same. As the once-wolf bumped him, Noah chuckled and returned the gesture. "Sure."

Noah hadn't brought any weapons with him, save for the hunter's knife that was strapped to his belt at all times. "We could make it interesting." Noah suggested, his head tilting as the question left his lips, his eyes looking sideways to the abandoned. "We could be blindfolded." A mischievous glint flickered in Noah's eyes.

Sah

Sah's eyes widened at Noah's proposition. "Oh?" If he recalled, the demigod had the capacity to partially shift to enhance his senses. That would put him at a disadvantage, but in a spar that wasn't necessarily a bad thing. In fact, the added challenge was enticing.

Answering mischief filled his eyes and Sah nodded, "Let's go it." Perhaps he could use his air magic to feel when the air was disturbed? It was worth trying. Findling a way to reliably fight blind could only be beneficial. Taking a step back, he nodded towards an expanse of sand between the dunes, "Let's get further from the shore. Can't have you falling in now, can we?" It was only a slight dip down into the waves from where they stood, but better safe than sorry.

"Take away all the fun, then." Noah said with an increasing deviousness to his smile. The water below was surely nothing compared to the Sea of Glass where Noah had learned to swim to be able to save himself should he ever fall in while hunting seal. And he had almost needed that training, too, during the fight for Safrin’s relic. Though, with little refusal, Noah stood up and headed towards where Sah had gone.

From his back pocket, Noah pulled out a long piece of ursur wool lined with silk. It was obvious it was a scarf, for the Sentinel had not been seen without it covering his neck and sometimes his face for most of his life. He took it now, however, and tied it up over his eyes to block his sight completely. The thick wool and dark colored silk were the perfect shades to cover his eyes and blind him. Assuming Sah would do the same, with whatever he had, Noah then prepared himself for their spar.

He lowered his center of gravity, knees bending slightly, and let out the breath in his lungs to relax every muscle in his body before tightening ones that were necessary for the movements he had in mind.

When he thought he had given Sah enough time, he struck. Noah stepped out twice, keeping his solid stance and footing, and his fist aimed for what he hoped would be Sah’s rib cage.

Sah

Sah countered with a snort, "I'd rather not piss of Cordelia by throwing her husband into the bay." He had no doubt that Noah would have been fine should he have fallen, but his cousin had enough to deal with. It wasn't worth the risk today. Pulling a roll of bandages from his bag, Sah looped some around his eyes until it was thick enough to block his sight.

Taking a breath, the Abandoned took a step back and let his senses and air magic focus on their surroundings. He felt the shift in the air as Noah moved towards him. However, the shift of the demi-god's stance covered the sound of his fist. The Abandoned hissed when Noah's fist landed true. That would bruise tomorrow.

Reacting quickly, Sah lashed out with an elbow aimed at Noah's side.

Being blinded by his thick wool and silken scarf, Noah had no idea what the Thunder would do to react. His fist struck and a smirk curled at the corner of his mouth with the satisfaction. Short lived, however, as Sah's elbow came rocketing for him. The abandoned made contact with Noah's upper arm with enough force to make him take a step away, following the momentum of the attack. Though a tinge of pain rang through the muscle, Noah barked out a laugh as his arm throbbed.

This was turning out to be just as fun as fighting near the water.

While the Sentinel took a step to the side, he did not want to leave too much distance between them. Quickly, Noah launched himself forward and down, attempting to tackle Sah into the dark sand.
