[center][i][u][h3]Flashback to Boat Trip Day 1[/h3][/u][/i][/center]
 
Kavius stood with Sam at the bow of the ship, looking out towards the sea and chatting. He knew he did not need to mother Sam, she was a badass that could more than handle herself even with something as trivial as sea sickness. Unfortunately even though Sam protested, Kavius would keep his eye on Sam and while he felt helping the crew was important his first priority was making sure his partner in crime was.....well Kav didn't know what he could do besides make sure Sam was fed and her thirst slated. She appeared to be alright for now but the paleness in her face concerned him slightly. His presence undeniable, but Kavius did not speak his worries as much as he thought them. He would rather enjoy the voyage with Sam than to be badgering her with worry. That want their style. Everyone on the ship seemed to be busy with their own thing, helping around or cleaning, conversing and such. Kavius did not want to be in the splotlight but nether did he care what others thought so his display earlier made him sigh to himself. He expressed to Sam how it was such a spur of the moment thing to do, he just wanted to meet everyone.  One of those people, who walked with confidence and power, appeared behind Kavius and Sam. 

"[color=#ff39d6]Would a hammock alleviate her motion sickness at all[/color]?" she'd eventually ask Kavius, considering Sam. "[color=#ff39d6]Might I bother you to spar with me? The way you move around on deck seems so natural—if I can't match your dexterity, I'll be a liability if we're boarded[/color]."

 Kavius looked towards Ashley as he turned around in disbelief. Spar? With him? Who gave her the right......wait he was no one so no one needed to give her that right. Also quit being a dick, Kav thought to himself, Your a regular clown. Kavius almost chuckled but held it in, he had a decision to make. He looked at Sam, who had her thoughts on the matter, and Kavius sighed in disbelief. He really had not expected anyone to notice him with all the bright flashy wizards casting about. Not that anyone was casting about currently besides that nerd with the fierce looking women whose name alluded Kav at the moment. 

"[color=004b80]Fine, sounds like it could be interesting and a way to stretch the old sea legs[/color]," Kavius said with a smile. 

 He knew just by looking at Ashley from the steady wobble that would appear every few moments. She probably did not have much experience fighting as sea, but little did she know neither did he! In fact Kavius was very grateful that while it had been awhile since he was last on the boat that the last time he was he had spent a fair amount of time at sea. There was no cure for sea legs, just adjusting your footing to the way the boat is rocking. Also being so nimble did not hurt as he was already light footed and used to unstable surfaces. Kavius gave Sam a two finger salute, after listening to what she had to say, and walked with Ashley to the middle of the bow of the ship. Ashley quickly turned, drawing her sword which was common but was unsheathed with style, and elegantly flicked her wrist making her sword suddenly face upwards towards Kavius. Kavius hopped back slightly at this, fumbling to draw his own sword for a moment. Kavius unsheathed his sword, common and bottom tier as it was since Kavius lost his previous sword some time back, and raised it so that it mirrored Ashleys sword with two feet apart from the tips of their blades. Ashley stood with both feet firmly planted, her sword arm raised and her other arm back her back. Kav had seen people fight like that before, but not personally faced against this style. Kav made his limbs somewhat relaxed and limber but with a firm strength behind his grip. Kavius kept both hands on his sword.

"[color=004b80]I like a good old fashioned countdown so I will start us off.....One..Tw-[/color]", Kav started to say as he quit speaking mid word. Just as quickly as he stopped speaking Kavius hit Ashleys sword with his own while taking a step forward. Ashley gripped her sword tighter and was able to bring her arm back up to meet Kavs blade while taking a single step backwards, albeit it was a shaky step. Ashley reafirmed her footing and bounced her sword back off Kavs and brought her sword around and down towards Kav in one quick dazzling motion. Surprisingly, Kav smiled at Ashleys battle face. Even more surprisingly, only a moment after their swords clashed together next as Kav met Ashleys blade mid swing. Kav used most of his strength to push their swords upward as he let go of the handle of his sword. Kav dropped to his back, keeping his hands pressed to the floor of the boat for support, and kicked upwards at Ashley. Aiming for her waist and not aiming to bruise Kavius kicked Ashley back which gave him the momentum to flip himself up onto his feet. He had no isses finding his balance, whereas Ashley took several shaky steps backwards which almost ended with her falling. She remained vigil and quickly assumed her battle stance as her legs started to shake a little less. Kavius grinned a spun his sword in his hand. Kav finally noticed however how his hands stung quite a bit. Eyes widened for a moment he realized that clashing with this knight seemed to be a a bad idea, or was this just how it felt fighting someone as trained as her. Her movements, while limited due to their environment, were swift and precise. She knew exactly when to apply most of her strength and knew her own weaknesses. Kav shuddered to have to clash with her again, this was the part of fighting he hated more anything. Inexplicibly Kavius seemed to get lost in thought which gave Ashley ehr chance. Seeing her opportunity and not wasting it by any means she quickly lunged forward with her sword pointed the same direction. Kav barely had time to react when he noticed by chance due to blinking. Kav raised his sword up to defend himself as quick as he could managing to deflect the incoming attack, which while Kave was able to keep his sword in his grasp his arm was sent leftward. Ashley followed up with two quick slashes from her blade, which Kav was able to avoid as he threw himself towards the direction his arm was sent in the previous clash. This sent him in a single spin to his left, falling to the ground. As soon as he hit the ground Kavius jumped back up into the fight, bringing his sword up with him. Kav gripped his sword with his right hand and feinted at Ashley, taking a step backwards. Ashley pressed her attack, following Kav as he stepped back. Once they were close to the side of the boat Kav jumped back a step, kicked off the side of the boat wth both feet, and flipped over Ashley. Ash spun her sword and with a single wrist motion as she spun around to face Kav she made an attempt as inducing a flesh wound on her opponent. As soon as his feet hit the ground Kavius had ducked, stepped forward, placed his right leg around her right leg, and bumped into Ashley avoiding her sword strike. This caused Ashley to once again stumble backwards, seemingly still not used to fighting in such a unstable environment. 

 Kavius made an attempt to strike Ashleys wrist with a slightly upwards sideways swip of his sword when Ashley showed her plan. Her legs suddenly stood firm as she brought her sword upwards avoiding Kav and his sword, then quick as can be struck Kavs wrist in a similar fashion making him drop his sword. With her victory in hand Ashley started to bring her sword up to Kav to be pointed at his chest but Kavius was not done yet. Kav stepped into Ashleys personal space bubble as she brought her sword up, wrapped his left arm around Ashleys sword arm and attempted to disarm her through force. Ashley swung her first at Kav, who responded by swerving his head around her thrown fist and wrapping his right leg around her left leg. Kavius applied pressure with his right arm to disarm her, kicked the back of her leg to ground her, then jumped back a foot as Ashley was able to quickly rise and do the same. Kav noticed she had left her sword in-between them, as did he, and eyed them both before returning his haze to Ashley who had already began to take action. Ash sprinted forward, scooping up her sword but almost losing her balance, and elegantly charged at Kav. He thought to himself how she seemed to understand he didn't need his sword to fight. Hopefully she didn't know he really really wanted it back since she was charging him. Kav had no idea what to do at this point so he did the only thing left to do. He had an ace up his sleeve that she possibly knew about but could do nothing about. His legs were in great condition while Ashleys were sill adjusting. Kav smiled.......and started quickly stepping backwards. When Ashley was close in proximity Kav performed a duck and roll and began running away, avoiding every slash from Ashley. Kav jumped off the walls of crates aboard and the pole connecting to the eagles nest, rolled sideways and retrieved his sword just in time to catch Ashleys blade with his own. On his knees and options limited, Kav brushed back Ashleys strike and parried with his own. 

 Ashley locked with swords with Kavius again, then began to display a strange face to Kav. Kavius believed she was.....starting to get angry possibly? With another strike and parry from Kavius and another wrist flick and jab at Kav, he jumped back and raised his empty hand. "[color=004b80]Alright I'm good for now[/color]," Kavius said with a smirk, "[color=004b80]Honestly if we had been on land that would have ended with way more bruises for me. You're great, even without your sea legs fully in yet.[/color]"

[color=#ff39d6]"Hmph. You're quick, little mouse,"[/color] Ashley said with a slight frown, the spark of life returning to her eyes as their duel ended. [color=#ff39d6]"Next time, don't stop me right when I'm starting to have fun."[/color]

Ashley knew she would have to keep her eyes on this boy. Someone like her couldn't afford to fight fair, so she was always looking for new tricks to hide up her sleeve. That get-up kick was something she was definitely going to practice, for a start. If all she had was a sword, she would be forced to reconsider her remark to Mikhail about how she could "take him." [color=#ff39d6][i]I only get one shot at the usual sneak attack. After that, who can say? He's a credible threat. If he remains loyal, he'll be useful,[/i][/color] she thought as she wiped her sweat with a kerchief and sheathed her sword—only after Kavius had put his away.
