Re: + Alizarin, Friendsgiving
You're good.
[ And his heartrate is up, but maybe more tellingly he's flushed. Humming with adrenaline. Still half-wishing he'd let her twist his arm. He wants to feel her impact, her strength, directly. He wants to be bleeding from somewhere, shit. ]
Re: + Alizarin, Friendsgiving
You're fun. [ The emphasis on that word is swirling with promise. His speeding pulse, she'd swear she can actually feel it cutting through her. She drags her blunt fingernails across the back of his hand as she withdraws her own -- ]
[ In a blink, she has both hands on the hilt of her katana and is springing at him, gale-force, a flurry of blinding attacks lashing out at him. Perhaps he'll get lucky and one will get through. ]
Re: + Alizarin, Friendsgiving
Oh, good. Fun's what I'm aiming for.
[ Again there's that split second of hesitation; instinctively sure that the only way to avoid all of those strikes is to get the hell out of dodge, but so tempted to stay.
He brings his sword up, braced, to block the first strike — feels the impact, pleasantly rattling — and he's quick enough to block a second, but then he has to fall back, literally, feeling her blade graze his chest as he does, and he has to bite his lip. Damn, that's really...
Okay, all the way down, into a handspring, and he launches himself up, up, up, boxcuttering over her head. He'll go for an arcing strike from behind her, sword spinning in his hand, as he lands. ]
Re: + Alizarin, Friendsgiving
[ All her considerable strength shoves against where their swords are connected, just enough to shove them apart so she can whirl around to face him. She'll duck under, shimmy around, any attacks, aiming to get in nice and close. ]
C'mere, you.
[ She's incredibly deft with her sword even at very close range, her body a swirl of movement as she uses one hand at mid-blade to push her slashes even faster, aiming for his neck or shoulder, while one leg flicks out to try and take out his knee. ]
Re: + Alizarin, Friendsgiving
...so that he can catch it in his left hand instead when he lands, simultaneously throwing a right hook for her flank while his sword comes for the opposite side, maybe nick her somewhere in exchange for the new rip in his tank and the shallow cut on his shoulder that just feels like heat to his senses.
If he has one advantage over her here, it might be that the more she pushes him, the more energized he becomes. For whatever reason, adrenaline from a good hard fight definitely hits him a little strangely, charging him up instead of draining him. ]
Oh, I'm here. Come and get me.
[ All but purred. ]
Re: + Alizarin, Friendsgiving
[ She leaps backwards, not really needing to strategize but wanting to shoot him a gratifying smile as she examines the cut on her arm before her flaring eyes settle back on his. ] Not bad.
[ She likewise flips her sword into her left hand; why not? There's an aesthetic quality to fighting that she loves, a symmetry -- a dance. It feels right to switch sword hands if he is. ]
[ She's barely caught the sword before she's moving again, when she gets near enough she uses her agility to the fullest to do several rapid-fire, unpredictable switchbacks, aiming to send his defenses in several directions at once. When she finally strikes, it's toward his strong side, and almost vicious -- he wanted her best, after all. ]
Re: + Alizarin, Friendsgiving
Instead of making any attempt to block her final strike, he grabs for her wrist, not so unlike her grab for his earlier — and if he manages it, he'll yank her in close just the same.
She's faster. He might be stronger, but he's definitely not betting on that to save him. And if she's still counting, his heartrate's definitely elevated. He likes what he can catch of the scent of her. ]
Re: + Alizarin, Friendsgiving
[ If successful, she flashes dangerous smile, then pounces. No fancy flips this time, leaving him very little time to move. If he can't block, the tip of her sword will sink into the ground beside his pretty little head. ]
Re: + Alizarin, Friendsgiving
He wants to get knocked down, his player wants him to get knocked down, so let's just say he rolled a 1 to dodge.] [ Briefly widening eyes again, and he does, at least, bring his sword up to block, his right hand braced against the blade — but the point of hers doesn't come down where he was expecting it, and then he's just... grinning up at her, breathing hard. ]Want it clear: I'm not yielding 'cuz I don't wanna keep going.
[ He's yielding because hnnngh. ]
Re: + Alizarin, Friendsgiving
[ This time she does yank, aiming to leverage him into a sitting position, flush against her. She tugs again to tilt his chin up until he's perfectly angled for kissing, but she doesn't, just keeps him nice and close so his panting breaths wash over her. ]
You must want something.
[ Pressing her hips down against him, hard, to punctuate the thought. ] You'd better not yield one inch, though.
Re: + Alizarin, Friendsgiving
Hey. It's ladies' choice.
[ That grind is more than a little dizzying, and if she was hoping to feel him harden responsively, she's got it. ] [ Fuck, Alizarin, his hands find her hips, grip tight and more than a little urgent, but he holds himself otherwise rigidly still. If she doesn't want him to move, then—
...well, that could be a lot of fun, too. ]
Re: + Alizarin, Friendsgiving
[ Just before reaching his mouth, she pauses, eyes dancing, ] Then show me. [ And definitely do not hold still. ]
[ If he needs any further instructions, she'll just tug him closer still and kiss him with parted lips, hungry and demanding. She does everything the same way she fights: full-out, nothing held back. ]
Re: + Alizarin, Friendsgiving
His head ducks then, his mouth finding the side of her neck, suction and scraped teeth, one of his hands cupping a breast, thumb dragged over nipple. ]
Re: + Alizarin, Friendsgiving
[ Her corset doesn't let her feel much of his hand; it's too structured, too thick, but she has something for that. She spares one hand to reach behind her and tug at the laces, the other tugging equally on his hair, her shoulders and hips shimmying to aid in loosening things up. Then she needs to relinquish his hair so both hands can snap open the front corset busk, starting at the top. Very fortunately, he won't need to remove his mouth from her as she proceeds to unfasten it entirely and lets it fall away. Shame her shorts and tights won't be so easily shed, especially with boots on (but the prospect of watching him through her eyelashes as he tugs them off is a pleasant one, at least). ]
[ Tempting to rip at his shirt, starting where she cut his chest, but she doesn't want to make him spend points over the matter. She gets her hands beneath his shirt hem and peels it up and away, her nails dragging along his back enough to raise a few welts. ]
Re: + Alizarin, Friendsgiving
He would not have complained about having his shirt ripped off, really; maybe a playful comment and a laugh, but that'd be it. He's very cooperative with her less-destructive efforts, though, and having his back clawed like that — pulls a very guttural sound out of him, fuck.
Sure is — breathing a lot harder there, for some reason, hnngh. ]
