"[color=9e3366]Alright, let's do this...[/color]" Xara whispers to himself, which proceeds to make a shield and hand axe of pure ice, quickly showing Kavius that Xara isn't a run of the mill spellslinger type. Kavius winced slightly at the noise caused by the collapsing building but was more surprised that Xara was so quick to agree. The misinformed womenfolk had caused Kavius to exert more energy than he had preferred to use to escape their wrath which made his innocence even more irritating. Kavius knew better than to let others get to him, and remembered how the real culprit was still caught, so he sighed and relaxed his body. While unsheathing his sword Kavius took a few steps closer to Xara. Xara glares and tenses up. “[color=004b80]Alright my Table hopping, window smashing, admittedly handsome companion. Glad you're so enthusiastic[/color],” Kavius said with his eyes on Xara. Xara raises an eyebrow and decides to respond. "[color=9e3366]Well, how are we supposed to fight together if we don't know each other's moves? Consider it a learning exercise.[/color]" He says this with an unimpressed smile. Kavius tossed his new silver sword from one hand to the other, stretching his legs for a few moments. After cracking his knuckles Kav measured the distance between them and placed himself with two feet from the tip of his blade from Xara. His fight with the warrior noble was in no way easy, but he did not have the terrain advantage like before. No sealegs, crumbled or nearly destroyed buildings, not the best setting for him but Kavius did not mind. Ok he minded a lot, now that he was more in fight mode and not flight mode. With a sigh Kavius raised his sword and held the tip up and facing Xara. “[color=004b80]Ok so lets make this simple since we are on the job[/color],” Kavius said rolling his shoulders back, “[color=004b80]Since you like making things explode with magic, be it yourself through something or your surroundings, lets say first in either a compromising position wins or first to take damage that's more than a scratch…...or giving up is an option![/color]” Kavius added that last part for himself in case he wanted to bail. Xara is starting to look actually kind of bored as Kavius continues to talk with a weapon pointing at him. "[color=9e3366]You gonna swing or…?[/color]" Kavius smiled. “[color=004b80]Nah, why would I do that[/color]?” Kavius threw his sword into the air while shouting “[color=004b80]GAH[/color]”, rolled forward while scooping up sand and dirt and debris, and threw it at Xara. Xara gets dirt in his eyes, burning them and making him flinch. He jumps back, expecting the sword to land on top of him. Using the same spell as in the tavern, Xara launches forward in an attempt to knock Kavius over while he recovers his sight. Kavius attempted to dodge Xara as he was propelled forward to little avail, barreling into Kav, sending him to his back. With a flick of his waist and feet Kav pushed himself up and backwards, rolling back a few steps as his sword landed in front of him slicing off a strand of hair as he looked up. Kav looked down for a moment, realizing what almost happened, and reached for his sword. Xara recovers his sight, quickly doing a wide spin recovery from the ground, he flings the ice axe in Kav's direction and proceeds to start another cast. Kavius heard the sound of something flying through the air. As Kav looked up he spoke. “[color=004b80]Oh Nooo[/color],” Kav shouted. With a turn of his body Kav rolled sideways, grabbing his swords handle, dodging the axe. As Kav finished his roll and dodge he quickly threw his sword at Xara as if he was throwing a spear, raised two fingers from the hand he used to throw his sword, and spoke. “[color=004b80]Just kidding[/color],’ he said with a smile. Xara blocks the sword with the ice shield, which visibly cracks it, and knocks Xara back. But instead of stumbling, Kav can see ice under Xara's feet, as if he's using it to control his inertia. The hand axe from earlier starts to boomerang back as Xara throws what look like, ice marbles(??) around Kav's feet. Traveling with Samara taught Kavius a great many things about projectiles since she herself was an archer. With an incoming attack in his direct path, his footing possibly ruined based on whatever these tiny things were, and Kavius had no time to think. Letting his body take over Kavius takes a single step forward, instantly seeing he was correct, and fell backwards almost comically. As he fell Kavius reached upwards and grasped the handle of the ice axe tightly as it passed him, a little too tightly in fact, shattering the handle and causing his right hand to receive several cuts. Xara is shocked at this entire interaction, what kind of timing tricks did he know to do something like that? Xara touches a different book, his hands now a different color, this time of orange. He then throws both a fireball and the shield like a frisbee towards Kavius, hoping to throw him off his game. With his weapon close to Xara, little tripping marbles around him, and two incoming attacks, Kavius pretty much wanted to surrender at this point. He put himself in a bad spot, but not a horrible one. Kavius grimaced as he clenched his right hand into a fist and decided he had no choice. Time for an increase in effort. Kav, from his crouched position that he went into after the axe handle broke, rolled forward over the marbles. As he did the fireball flew over his head, leaving the shield trailing but imminent. With a flick of his left wrist and a finger snap, a marble he had discreetly picked up flew from his left hand, hitting the shield, cracking it, and causing it to wobble mid air. With the shield now losing momentum Kav caught the shield in his left hand as it approached his face and threw it back like a frisbee at full strength. "[color=004b80]This is[/color]*grunts*[color=004b80]yours, I'm keeping it next time.[/color]" Xara is taken aback by Kavius' agility, his awe was short lived as the shield struck Xara square in the head and shattered, knocking the lithe mage over and leaving him completely dazed. Kavius used Xara being dazed as his chance. With a leap and stride Kavius closed the distance between himself and Xara, scooped his sword from the ground, and began to swing his sword but planned to stop it right before his sword reached Xara.. Xara reactively caught the sword with his hand, cutting his fingers despite Kavius' hesitation "[color=9e3366]Yah, uh, I think you win. Ow[/color].” Kavius had stopped his sword as quick as he could before he sliced through Xaras fingers, leaving only deep cuts on the parts of his hand that had touched the swords edge. “[color=004b80]Uh...I can agree its over but did you have to try to catch my sword with your hand? Blades cut human meat pretty well.[/color]” "[color=9e3366]It's a stall tactic a Laguz taught me, gives you time to thunderbolt them.[/color]" “[color=004b80]Yea but you could just dodge.[/color]” "[color=9e3366]And leave myself in a worse position? Mmmnnah.[/color]" He puts his hand to his on chin and nods in disagreement Kavius laughed then patted Xara on his shoulder, leaving blood spots from his cut hand on his shoulder. “[color=004b80]You’re alright, by the way we should stop that bleeding oh wait I am also bleeding too, annoying to fight but yea you’re alright.[/color]” Xara takes the same fire he made earlier and proceeds to burn his hand with it, cauterizing the wounds. He winces in pain as he probably regrets the decision to show off. Kavius winces at the sight of Xara burning himself, then reaches out his hand for the same treatment. Kavius feels like his hand just touched the bottom of a forest fire. The bleeding stopped, atleast… Xara didn't realize until it was too late that he caught the debris on fire, it burns something it shouldn't and causes the whole wreckage to explode, sending both the combatants flying and screaming like canaries. Xara looks visibly annoyed by this. "[color=9e3366]Aw man, that was a waste![/color]" Kavius laughs again as he and Xara sit upright, patting him on the back, while looking at the wreckage Xara caused earlier to burn brightly.
