*pushes Mordir in* Have at 'im.

Mordir: =_= *draws both daggers*

Simperer: Salutations. *draws a dagger and whips it at Mordir's feet*

Mordir: *jumps aside* =_= Hello. *twirls a dagger, watching him carefully, then darting forward low and slashing at his right knee*

Simperer: *jerks his knee up towards Mordir's face, the knife catching his shin*

Mordir: >_< *stumbles back with a groan, trying to recover himself*

Simperer: *draws second dagger and lunges*

Mordir: >_> *jumps aside in a roll, pushing back to his feet* Going to have to be better than that.

*mentally cheers for Mordir because for a second I was scared this would be the shortest duel ever*

Simperer: -_- *throws second knife and draws sword*

Mordir: *ducks aside, but gets cut* >_o =_= *circles, watching carefully*

Simperer: *never lets his back to Mordir as he circles; stabs at him with sword*

Mordir: *tries to knock it away and slice at his wrist* *disconcerted by the * >_>

Simperer: *wrist is cut* *steps on Mordir's foot and jabs pommel of sword at his diaphragm* You are disappointing...

Mordir: *grunts and doubles over* >_< Excuse me? *slashes at his middle and tries to back up* Who's the one on a leash? Obeying every little whim of his insane demon master?

Simperer: *grabs Mordir's slashing hand and twists it around in a way it shouldn't go* Do not insult my lord. =_=

Mordir: *cries out* >_< *tries to twist and swing his foot up at Simperer's head* I'll say whatever I like about him. He has no hold on me. He hides behind mindless puppets and thinks himself strong.

*Mordir goes karate on everyone*

Simperer: *ducks and lets go*

Mordir: *slashes at him and backs up, gingerly testing his wrist* >_o =_=

Simperer: *deflects slash with sword and tilts point toward Mordir's shoulder*

Mordir: *jerks back and darts the other way from where the sword points, starting and high and bringing his slash low to the hip* You're right. You're not Jaegar's favorite. You're too slow to keep his attention.

Simperer: *backs up and turns, keeping the sword between them* At least I can read.

Shots fired.

Mordir: *circles him, watching for the opening* I don't see how that helps you here. Now you're just being a pompous braggart. *feints a lunge to the left*

Yep.

Simperer: *grins, not responding to feint* You're easier to read than any book. *slashes at Mordir's wrists*

Mordir: *jumps back, but gets the back of his hand cut* >_o *smirks* Oh, is that why you seem to enjoy my company? Books have gotten too hard for you to comprehend anymore. Or did Jaegar take them all? *circles, then lunges, slashing high and low with both daggers*

Simperer: It's more the enjoyment of watching a worm on a hook. *follows Mordir's movement and extends sword toward him when Mordir lunges*

Mordir: =_= -- *tries to step away, but gets his arm stabbed* Ahh. >_<

Simperer: *slices across arm toward his body*

Mordir: *yells, yanking back* >_< *gasps, trying to assess the damage and keep sights on Simperer* =_= *adjusts grip on daggers*

Simperer: *lunges forward with sword*

Mordir: *dives to the side in a roll, slicing at his ankles* <_<

Simperer: *is cut* *decides to pounce Mordir while he's on the ground*

Mordir: *well crap* *swings his dagger and twists to free himself*

Mordir's face.

Simperer: *grabs the dagger-arm and twists, but is off balance when Mordir moves*

Mordir: *yelps, wincing and dropping the dagger* >_> *tries to shove him off with his feet/legs*

Simperer: *is kicked off* *tries to grab the dagger*

Mordir: O.O *nopenopenope* *goes for the dagger too* o.o

Simperer: *abruptly changes course and moves to catch Mordir by the throat*

Mordir: *yelps* *tries to twist away*

Mordir's face. Did he escape? Because if he didn't Simperer is gonna snap his neck...

o.o Then yes he did escape. o.o *whacks him* Unless we want a snapped neck and a victor now?

Mordir: *wrenches away, slashing at Simperer's hand as he backs off* =_=

Simperer: *eyes narrow when his hand is cut* *tries to grab Mordir's wrist on the follow-through of the slice*

Mordir: =_= *brings other hand around to try to sharply swack at Simperer's hand that's grabbing* ._.

Simperer: *tries to grab that hand too*

Mordir: *risks it and lets him* *pulls backward, using Simperer's grip as a "support," and tries to slam his foot into Simperer's gut*

Simperer: *grip breaks* *falls over*

Mordir: *lunges from the side, dagger point out* =_=

He's so proud of himself.

I see that.

Simperer: *ow...*

Mordir: *pins him, a dagger at his throat* I win.

Simperer: *eyes turn red* >_<

Well there goes that.

Mordir: *crap* *scrambles off, thinking Jaegar's decided to take over to attack* ._.

Simperer: *relaxes, eyes returning to normal* *tries to attack/disarm Mordir*
