He looked back up at the dissatisfied noise that Gerard himself made, glancing over at the younger man. [color=#008b8b][i]"Properly covered,[/i] lad. That's the important part to remember. If you're close enough to strike at my leg, even if [i]I'm[/i] overextended myself, you're close enough that I can split your skull at the worst, or at best just cripple you in return by striking at your hands and forearms, whether or not I let yours land."[/color] He lifted his training blade, lightly jabbing at Gerard's chest for emphasis.

[color=#008b8b]"Sure, you might be cutting from [i]tag[/i] down to [i]pflug,[/i] but like I said, any strike to my leg should be [i]incidental.[/i] A result of me not voiding your cut properly. You [i]always[/i] aim for a strike that will end the fight, remove the other person's ability to keep attacking, [i]and[/i] keeps you covered at the same time. Aiming so low doesn't do that. [i]That[/i] is why I keep telling you it isn't a valid target whenever we're keeping score in our spars."[/color]
