@aviendha Grey may have had good intentions, but again as I said that's how it was perceived. Also I believe a problem here might be how we didn't quite establish how much the Guild members know about each other. Yes, I think its safe to say that everyone knows Gray fights with shadows, and even how that's the bulk of her fighting power. The thing is that doesn't mean everyone knows absolutely everything either, that they don't know the specifics unless they've been told as much. Grey doesn't interact much with the other members either, right?

The thing is Kaito isn't your character, you don't know what he knows, you don't know how he thinks. Hell, even if he knew every little detail about Grey's power, and knew exactly why she decided to rest, that doesn't mean it still wouldn't have been seen as disrespectful. By the same token I can't say he would have still reacted like he did, maybe if he had this knowledge he would've continued the fight. The only person here who can answer that question is Torack.

@aviendha Its how Kaito and everyone else ended up perceiving what happened, doesn't quite matter what the truth really is. I also don't know what you mean "it makes no sense" sure, everyone might know Grey's power is through shadows I can agree to that, but its the act itself that's the problem. The way I see it, people look at what she did as disrespectful and a disappointing end to the fight.

The Guild

@aviendha Well I don't think most people are mad honestly, it's Kaito who has a problem with what happened. Plus, I'll also argue that it wasn't like he could calmly analyze the situation and realize Grey wasn't giving up the fight even though she was sleeping. Just imagine yourself in his shoes, you're in the middle of a heated duel, definitely giving it your all, to then turn around to see your opponent laying around like she doesn't care. That's probably why he's real pissed off.

@SaintRice You know, just realized how bad this might seem looking from outside. A big, beefy dude pinning down a girl by sitting on her, eh?

Silvia realized her mistake but it was too late. Of course she attempted to pull her leg free from the man's grasp, however she found that his grip was too strong for her to fight. Her only other option was to follow up with another kick to Gareth's hopefully sensitive face with her other leg. If she were able to free herself, she would likely only be particularly successful and end up tumbling onto her back anyway. Of course she had also just taken a hard punch to the ribs, which while hurt like hell, wasn't enough disable her. Not by a long shot.

If she does manage to get free, she would then roll away from Gareth before making an attempt at standing back up, where if the man is close enough she would try to a sweeping kick to knock Gareth off balance. Otherwise she would quickly run in to take a few quick, yet powerful jabs at his side.

@SaintRice Ah, man sorry about the wait. Anyway decided the way to keep this battle a little more balanced is to have Silvia able to read Gareth's moves very well, after all they are fighting in her specialized wheelhouse.

Silvia let out a deep breath, there was a very good reason why she wanted to wait for Gareth to make the first move. She didn't want to get killed by that bullet-like speed of his. Hand to hand combat was her specialty, so despite his insane speed she was able to read him well enough to avoid that first roundhouse... that was until he did a sudden feint and turned it around. Silvia was somewhat frantic as she scrambled to dodge the back roundhouse, which she did somewhat successfully by jumping back to get out of range. She did get hit by the berserker, however the blow was softened by a combination of blocking, and the fact she was already jumping out of his way. As for the second sudden feint of his was much less successful since Silva was anticipating another such attack and so she instead opted to jump hard to side to not get kicked in the face.

In retaliation, she wanted to keep mostly to kicks in order to stay out of insane close range as much as possible. Silvia gave her own roundhouse right after she dodged his last attack, using the momentum she generated for extra force. Provided her attack connects she would then follow up with a upwards kick, aiming right for the center of his chest, again with the intention of keeping up her momentum.

Let's Tell a Story (Got cookies... maybe.)

Well guess another bump is in order.

Yup...

@SaintRice Right, gonna be making a post soon, sorry about the wait there. I'll... do what I can to keep the fight balanced, but fun for us to write.

@SaintRice So is Gareth using his magic the whole while, because I gotta be honest this might be a very short duel. Silvia is real fast and strong for a human, but I can't in good conscious have her being fast enough to dodge attacks coming at the speed of a bullet, human reaction speed can't compete on that level.
