[h2]Sir Tyaethe Radistirin[/h2]

In her haste to begin, Klaus seemed to have overlooked that armour would have greatly helped, because there was no way that the paladin would actually be using her normal sword. Though it might have been more realistic to use it, Tyaethe wasn't the kind to go around killing her fellow knights in training sessions. By attacking with only her normal clothes on, she had manged to set up a situation where she was [i]more[/i] likely to be hurt. 

At least the sudden attack had one guaranteed effect: it meant her opponent was somewhat handicapped by not having a usable weapon.

As she charged forwards, the paladin stood immobile until the last second, wondering if there was some feint hidden in the brazen charge. It was too telegraphed, too open; an attack like that would never hit someone with any experience. Yet as it [i]was[/i] the attack, the armoured figure responded by sliding down and towards the side, forcing the sword to skitter off the slope of her shoulder--and leaving her uncomfortably close, her sword left embedded point-first in the ground.

After attacking so aggressively and at this range, it would be difficult to respond to the paladin's counter, and it would leave a very clear lesson: armour or padding would have been a brilliant idea, as a fist in the gut [i]hurt[/i], even if the other fighter was pulling her punches.

The duellist would have preferred to sleep in longer after returning to Candaeln--the beds were soft and the arms around her waist warm, but inevitably events made it beyond her choice. Namely, realising that the door to their quarters were open--which could only mean that [i]somewhere[/i] in Candaeln, there was a child to find. It was probably going to be either where there was food or someone she looked up to...

On the plus side, it wouldn't matter that Fanilly's maids hadn't woken her. A child jumping onto her would do that quite well.
