*Drops Mordir in* Cool off where you won't terrify everyone.

Mordir: *Draws sword*

Oooo... *nods for Simperer to enter*

Simperer: *draws his sword, standing at ready* I've been looking forward to this...

Mordir: Likewise, Whimperer. *Lunges with a thrust, then slashes downward quickly*

And we sit back and watch them have at it. *Gives Abigail popcorn*

Kaida: *drops in with her own popcorn*

knew it *waves at Kaida* *munches popcorn*

Simperer: *deflects the blow easily and counters with a quick stab* lets see how long your bravado lasts.

Mordir: Kaida?! Seriously?!

Oh chill and duel.

Mordir: *Jumps back and sidesteps, then thrusts* It sticks around for quite a while. I'm not going down as easily as you think!

Kaida: *winks and clicks her tongue* Better make it good. I bore easily.

Simperer: *deflects thrust before feinting at Mordir’s shoulder* *sigh* There it is again. That temerarious attitude. *drops the tip of his blade in a slice at Mordir’s knuckles (on his sword hand)*

You enjoying yourself?

Simperer: Not yet.

Mordir: *Smirks* I doubt you'll be disappointed. *Jerks shoulder back* I'm dangerous this way. *Brings hand back, wincing as it's cut between pointer finger and thumb. Then slashes viciously at Simperer's head*

You stink at swords.

Mordir: Read that book of yours and maybe I won't.

Simperer: *grins as Mordir winces*

You're enjoying yourself now, aren't you.

Simperer: Yes ma'am. *smoothly ducks under Mordir's blade, sweeping his own at Mordir's legs* Dangerous? I haven't seen it yet.

Don't you get cocky now.

Kaida: That's because he's afraid to look Mordir in the eyes!

Simperer: Already taking sides, Kaida?

Kaida: Someone has to. You fight like a diplomat.

You having fun, Mordir?

Mordir: Oh yes. Can't you tell? *Lunges at Simperer, avoiding the sword while Simperer is ducking*

Is Simperer still ducking?

Mordir: *Smirks* He doesn't do the "look people in the eye" thing. He prefers to grovel at their feet. Like with Jaegar.

*Face/palm* What part of me spawned you?

(No, he only ducked to avoid getting his head removed)

Simperer: *backs out of range of the lunge* Resorting to reckless abandon already? You must be desperate. *backs up a bit more, smiling deviously*

Uh oh...

Mordir: *Rolls to a feet smoothly* Reckless abandon? No. I haven't gotten that desperate yet. It's just how I fight. I'm not a warrior. I'm an assassin. I'm sneaky. *Slashes diagonally across Simperer's chest, drawing a dagger and thrusting with it

I think he knows what you are. Let me know if that's not entirely fair.

Kaida: *eats popcorn* I thought you liked reckless abandon. How else would you have ended up married?

Simperer: Reckless abandon? I believe it was more of a calculated risk.

I believe it was more of a direct order from you-know-who. You just happened to be fortunate and found somebody you liked XD

Simperer: ... *deflects Mordir's sword with his own* *angles his blade inwards, towards Mordir's shoulder (since Mordir is still moving forward)* *instinctively jerks up his dagger--which he had drawn as he backed away--as he sees Mordir's dagger flash out* *half-deflects the thrust, though he is still wounded* Gah... *glares at me*

Hey, I'm allowed to take sides too. ...(Is this dagger drugged?) (A dagger. Because he has more than one, of course XD)

Kaida: I meant on her part. You should see yourself.

*Is confused* You-know-who?

Mordir: *Tries to use his momentum to roll mid-jump, but his arm gets stabbed. He collapses and rolls to his feet, grimacing and struggling to keep a hold of his sword* That's the best you have? *Thrusts at Simperer's side, but curves his blade downward and slashes at his legs*

No, it's not drugged. (I took those away so he wouldn't knock Simperer out) XD Of course. An assassin should always have a nice supply of knives and such.

Mordir: My charm and good looks got me married. Saving her life probably didn't hurt, either. I only do reckless abandon when I'm cornered.

*Isn't sure if he's being stupid divulging that info*

*whispers* coughJaegarcoughcough. when each regiment turns twenty, Jaegar sends each to go find a wife from the nearby town, so he can make room in the barracks for more soldiers, which any sons the original soldiers had would provide.

Simperer: I could do better, if I felt you were skilled enough... *blocks the thrust and steps in, beside Mordir, to avoid the slash* *grabs Mordir's arm and twists it, then strikes Mordir's elbow with his sword hilt* like so.

(If that was a no- no then tell me) XD ok good. then I would have said it was unfair and of course he needs to carry them at all times. ...goodness, Mordir, you're so conceited. Almost as bad as Lajh :rofl

Oohhh. Gotcha. That makes sense.

Mordir: *Cries out in pain, his elbow shattering* Who says I'm not skilled? *Swing his dagger around and slams it into Simperer's leg, jerking his head back to hit Simperer (if he's behind Mordir?)* I've dealt with worse.



Mordir: *Smiles painfully at Abigail* I say it as I see it.

*watches like this as Simperer hurts Mordir* *watches like this as Mordir retaliates* *offers Aris a candy cane* =)

Simperer: (He is behind Mordir) *muffles a grunt as he drops to one knee, keeping his grip on Mordir's arm and jerking him down also* *twists Mordir's arm around behind his back and pulls harshly upward* As have I.

Ah, I see. That works. But does Iluna agree?

Kaida: Okay, left hand blue!

Ooh, yummy! *Nibbles on candycane and gives Abigail hot cocoa*

Mordir: Having a nice time, ladies? *Yelps in pain and jerks to the side, trying to drag Simperer with him, despite the pain* I tell you, this arm gets more abuse than the rest of me. *To Abigail* Eh, she would say I fell in love first.

Kaida. XD XD

*accepts hot cocoa* thank'ee, you're such a dear. What's that, Mordir? Oh yes, we're having a lovely time, thanks for asking.

Simperer: if a weakness is discovered, it's wisest to exploit it. *is dragged to the side*

Oh, of course she would. *whispers* and something tells me she's right XDDDDDD

You is welcome.

Mordir: Kind of missed the sarcasm. Very true. *Jerks to the side more, bringing his arm back around form behind him, and slashes at Simperer's face*

But you don't know his.

Mordir: Yeah, thanks. Not helping. *To Abigail* Perhaps... Although I did save her life from Meriak, so my selflessness could have made her fall in love first.

I love how our characters are trying to brutally murder each other, and we're casually sitting here having tea.

Simperer: *quickly releases Mordir's arm and ducks, just barely avoiding getting his face sliced*

Come on, sir. *throws a kernel of popcorn at him* For Jaegar's favorite you're not doing very well...

Simperer: *using his knife, slices at Mordir's hand holding the dagger*

You did? *whispers to Aris* he's so brave but...umh, a girl getting her life saved by a handsome guy, or a guy just getting to be around a pretty girl....I still think he fell first XDDDDDD

Kaida: Favorites don't have any reason to do well. They're just lap dogs.

Me: Can I come to tea too?

I know. XD

Mordir: Simperer is teacher's pet? How cute. *Snatches his hand back and backs up, scooping up his sword, but winces at the pain* Still time to back down with your dignity intact

Good point. XD She kind of hated his guts, anyway. And she saved his life, too. So... XD

XD of course you can come to tea! Join us! *offers Rinja a cup of tea*

Simperer: *narrows his eyes* Jaegar doesn't pick favorites. He elevates the status of those who are the most efficient, obedient, lethal soldiers. I clawed my way into his favor. *cautiously stands up again and retrieves his sword, limping but trying not to* Back down? I think not. *holds sword defensively*

XD Really? For such a rocky start, somehow they live happily ever after...XDDDDDD

Me: Is it always that hard to get a flamingo's attention? *takes tea*

Simperer: um....?

You wouldn't get it XDDDDDD

Mordir: *Smirks* Uh-huh. By conforming to his will and rules and being the perfect obedient child. I think that's called sucking up to him.

Yeah. XD I never really finished that story... It involved rogues invading Iluna's hometown and Mordir saving the town (or helping). And Iluna's dad hates him, and refuses to help him when he's badly hurt. So Iluna and Mordir's friend takes him away to nurse him to health. By then they were already married, though.

Simperer: Call it whatever you like. I'm still alive, aren't I. Surely you haven't forgotten what Jaegar can do.

Actually Mordir, he was a holy terror as a child.

Simperer: ...not true... *lightly eases his sword towards Mordir's diaphragm*

You never finished it?? will you now? Pleeeese, for me?

Kaida: Yup. Completely slipped my mind. Was he the one with the funny eye and the lavender sash, or did he have the feathery hat?

Simperer: feathery hat? *stifles a laugh* *his eyes pulse a dull red and he staggers back, cutting short his attack* *stares at Kaida for a moment before whipping his knife at her*

Kaida: Haha! *dives behind a tree*

Mordir: *Jumps back* I do. He paralyzed you.

*Face/palm*

Mordir: *Smiles* Was he? That doesn't surprise me.

Haha. Maybe. I think Iluna's history will be different than what the story originally tells. If I do get back to it, it'll be awhile.

Mordir: *Blinks* Wait. Simpy, you do know that's not me? *Leaps forward and slashes at Simperer's back*

Oh, that's brave of you.

Mordir: Hey, I'm taking any opening I see.

Kaida: He definitely thought it was you. Our voices sound very similar.

Simperer: paralyzed?. *whirls around, deflecting the slash to the ground before sidestepping and driving his elbow into Mordir's solar plexus*

Yep. Holy terror. It sure surprised Jaegar, to say the least. Until he decided that his pleasure from pain could be cultured into something useful.

Simperer: stop telling him everything!

When I finish your back story and post it he'll most likely see it anyways...

Simperer:

Aaaarissss, you're killing me, girl! I must know all of the stories!! Writeeeeee!!!!!!!!! so Mordir sounds like a fifteen-year-old girl now, Kaida? XD

Kaida: Unfortunate for him... But then he's an assassin, so he's better off not speaking. He would be much worse off in Simperer's line of work. Though still probably not as badly off as Simperer, who can't tell female child from man. I wonder if he ever gets his boss and his daughter confused...

Mordir: Oi, I do NOT sound like a girl! *Grunts and doubles over, staggering back*

The image I get when I see Jaegar trying to little little Simpy. He must have been overwhelmed?

I know. XD I've been terrible and haven't been writing anything. But I feel like I've written enough about Mordir for now. I'm sure I'll get to them sometime, though.

Mordir: I could do Simperer's job as well as he could!

Not if you want me emotional scarred and stuff, you won't. Silly boy.

Simperer: *finds this situation amusing* *quickly limps to Mordir and tries to stab him (not fatally) *

Eh, if he got too out of hand Jaegar just fed off his life-energy until he passed out.

Simperer: -_-

Sorry, am I embarrassing you?

Simperer: -_-

I would yell at you for not writing, but I haven't been either, so...

Mordir: You're being just as insulted as I am- *Yelps in pain and staggers back, then leaps forward and slashes with his dagger*

Fed off his... whoa. He and Seiryu would get along. XD

I've been writing a little bit, now. And developing, in my brain. That counts, right?

Simperer: No, no, you misunderstand. I find your vulnerability amusing. *backs up and blocks the slash, clenching his jaw as he puts his weight on his wounded leg* *slices at Mordir's side* *slightly bitter, to Aris* if Seriyu is a sorcerer, then yes, they would get along magnificently.

Don't sulk. It isn't that bad. You usually make it though the whole ordeal without a sound.

Simperer: -_-

*to Aris* No. Because it involves Yovak. -_-

Mordir: Vulnerability? She's finding as many weak spots in you too. Maybe even more. *Tries to jump back, but can't move fast enough* *Yelps in pain* *Slices at Simperer's middle*

Then yes. They would get along. *Hugs Abi* No be sad. I don't want you to get angry and make yourself feel sick again. o.o

*aside to Aris* these two are gonna be so beat up by the time this is over with...

Simperer: *smirks and decides not to clarify and further* *blocks (most) of the slice* *nicks Mordir's wrist with his dagger-point, then backs up a little before lunging at his shoulder with the sword*

*is hugged* -_- *grumbles something*

They are. I don't even remember what made them snap and finally duel.

Mordir: *Flinches when his wrist is cut* *Ducks and rolls to the right, struggling to regain his footing* *A little breathless* Is that... the best you can do?

*Gives Yovak dummy to Abi*

Who knows anymore.

Should we start a fresh thread for them? This is so bad, honestly.

Simperer: *presses his advantage and strikes again while Mordir is regaining his footing*

*blows it up*
