Damian shook his hands a little when she shot out from under him, the sudden friction just a little painful. As she landed, he slid into a familiar combat stance, balanced and perfect for either offense or defense. As he waited for her to choose either to attack or defend, the former of the two becoming more likely by the second, he made subtle adjustments to his stance, making better for him to make a defensive maneuver. He feet slid a little wider, his hand positions changed and his posture shifted so that the weight from a blow would be well distributed.

And just like that, Penny flew forward for an attack, her fist poised to strike. [color=FireBrick][i]Wait for it...[/i][/color] He didn't want to move too soon, as that would give her time to react and change her plan of action, but if he waited too long, she might just be able to lay him out. [color=FireBrick][i]Wait for it...now![/i][/color] As Penny's fist came in to strike at his gut, his left hand shot out and deflected the blow off to the side. At the same time, his right hand slammed into her gut, knocking the wind out of her again, as he grasped her arm and flipped her onto her back and straddled her, once more pinning her. Grinning ever so widely, Damian planted a good long kiss on her lips before pulling back and smiling again. [color=FireBrick]"Alright, let's take a moment to rest. Don't want to bruise you too much or else I'd feel bad."[/color]

As he stood up and helped Penny up, a girl crested a near by hill and called out to the pair for help. He waited until she reached them and began asking a question that he frowned. Someone from the Council was only just now seeking him out on the matter? That was a touch slow if he had any say in it. Once she finished her description, Damian summoned one of his Ares Blades and smiled. [color=FireBrick]"Well, the man must have had one hell of an accent because my name is Damian Gerard, the Blade of Phoenix Wing, and I am 24. You could say I carry a lot of blades with me,"[/color] he dismisses the Ares Blade, [color=FireBrick]"but that's only partially true. I use Blades Magic, it allows me to summon ethereal blades in a number of attacks. My Blade Change, a branch of my Blades Magic, allows me to summon a set number of dual blades for combat."[/color]

He regards the woman and frowns, trying to figure out why she was there. [color=FireBrick]"That aside, how did you find us and why did the Council take so long to address this, if that's what this is about? Grane was considerably weakened, I think, by the time I squared off with him from battling a guild mate. I mean, I was completely drained after besting him. I guess what I'm trying to say is I'm not sure why it's being addressed at all, again, if that's what this is about."[/color]

Hunter didn't miss a beat, both leg enveloped in the same green energy that had enveloped his fist just a moment before. [color=DarkGreen]"I'd rather you tell me now! Jade Dragon's Tail Swipe!"[/color] The attack first knocked Zev's legs out from under him then had the Dragon Slayer's feet slam into his gut. [color=DarkGreen]"Just a couple names, come on!"[/color] He was already on his feet, ready for whatever came next. It was quickly becoming less of a tell me what I want to know and more of a let's fight scenario, as it usually did with the hot headed Dragon Slayer.
