Show Me Whatcha Got [Liltotto/Edelo]

Edelo had a smile on his face when he rounded the corner and spotted the Ritter, a chuckle already on his lips at how quicky she'd noticed him. "I certainly hope not. It's good to see you in high spirits." He paused and glanced around the area, a brief sweep through the layers of the nearby structures as if expecting something.

"Hm, Nobody else is here? I suppose everyone else is busy. Still, more space for us I suppose." He noted optimistically, his attention shifting back to the smaller quincy. "So! Feeling anything in particular you'd like to practice today? Hand to hand? Tactics? A plain spar?" He ventured with a slight tilt of his head.

A brow raised slightly as she seemed to pick up on what he was doing, and a grin flashed across his features. "Hah, I don't have to worry about that. It's been a while now here in the city, and so long as I'm not worn out or tired I don't have to worry about that these days." He pointed out, no shortage of pride in his voice as he looked directly at the woman, but without that anxiousness he had once done so with. He was well and truly confident that he'd just see her like everyone else did.

"And hey now, Just because I'm the one who wanted to train doesn't mean I don't want to also help you out. It's a two way street after all. But if you aren't feeling decisive, how about we start with a bit of hand to hand hm?" He ventured, lightly flexing his fingers a bit as little tongues of green flickered across his knuckles and along his frame. Certainly he knew that it was an area Liltotto wasn't the strongest in, though even in that area she was still formidable. Between their numerous sparring sessions he'd more or less clocked that they really weren't THAT different in terms of speed, and that he was a fair bit stronger than she was. And of course...she was like a tank in terms of taking hits. But it was a good opportunity for them to push eachother in a way that wasn't too overwhelming.

"I want to try out a few things I've been working on. And then we can work on distance. He reasoned, pulling his leather gloves from his pocket and slipping them on.

Edelo raised a brow slightly as she gave such a lukewarm response, he couldn't help but chuckle slightly as she took up a casual stand across from him on the field. He let out a soft, helpless sigh and smiled to himself as he couldn't help but feel like he was the one who might get tossed around. "You got it." He murmured, green flames crackling along his frame as he took up a stance and promptly vanished. Bringer Light clicking along his heels as he promptly closed the distance between them. That laz smile turned into a piercing gaze as a bright red glow wreathed his pupils as he watched her closely.

His whole body blurring as he closed in and then executed a lightning fast jab toward the center of the woman's chest. A combination of his martial skill and the air thinning around him to reduce friction as he promptly aimed a straight jab to the center of her chest, one aimed to knock her straight onto her back without opening up his own defense. Straight and to the point.

A smile played across Edelo's lips as her eyes followed his motions well enough. His foot stomping into the ground with a flash of green energy along his arm as she latched on. And her hand promptly slid clean past his arm. For just a moment, it would almost seem as if he'd gone right through her palm, her world spinning as two things happened at once. He used fullbring to eliminate the force of friction acting on his sleeve as well as the ground beneath his feet. And so as she attempted to throw him, her hand would slide completely off his arm, and her feet would fly out from under her as her attempt at leveraging her body would result in her shoes swinging out from under her.

"Gavel." He murmured with a smile,his arm a sudden blur as he whipped it toward the center of her chest, Wind twisting inward towards his fist to form a solid mass like a hammer, intent on slamming into the woman with enough force to send her flying unless she found something to brace herself against. those eyes of his glowing a brilliant green. Watching for the flow of Reiryoku. BRacing himself incase she decided to close the distance, or came up with a counter. Not all that unlikely. IN addition to being stronger than him in many areas. One of the areas he DID specialize in? Well... she was just as talented.

Heh. If he wanted to impress her, he'd have to use everything at his disposal. And then perhaps he might be able to at least keep up with her.

A smile played across his lips. And as Liltotto formed that bow, his hand would suddenly sweep. Those eyes glowing as he watched the crackle of her reiryoku. The slow buildup and shift of her spiritual energy in her body The accumulation and tension that shifgted through her body even before she performed the action. His hand halted Mid-punch. And as Liltotto's feet slammed in towards his chest. He shifted. The tiniest adjustment, turning his body so that that strike slid off of his chest. His shirt affected by that fullbring trick of his, so that even that glancing blow simply slid right off his frame. Simply sliding past him rather than launching him with that Kick. And just as she was about to clear him, that outstretched arm spiked down, his elbow aiming to plant straight into her shoulder as she swung past him, a blow on any normal combatant that would have shattered their clavicle.

But well, that still wouldn't stop her from swinging away from him! Promptly leaving Edelo behind as the Ritter would reposition themselves, Edelo's feet still firmly planted, a soft crackling noise as the floor returned to normal and he could turn to face her. A soft WHEW escaping him as a grin broke out across his face. "That was sneaky! But you should know better than to think you can sneak when I'm watching you from so close." Perhaps a bit of a boastful little taunt. Well.. not that Liltotto was EVER the kinda woman who was vulnerable to taunts, he'd known that for ages. But still, there was a hint of pride in his words. When it came to martial skill they both were quite experienced. But when it came to Hand to Hand, that was his specialty~

Not to mention he WAS improving. Before, he might have pivoted and slipped on the very ground he himself had turned into a trap. Despite that uh.. boastful voice, a tiny party of him let out a sigh of relief that he had remembered to return the ground to normal. Whew. One slip up avoided!
