Iris watched Josh carefully, when he moved, she stayed put until he went for her left side. She loosened her fingers a bit and let the stick slide down until her hand was at the center, then as he came in for an attack, she defended each side, simply flicking her wrist on either side of her body.She frowned as he moved for a third strike with the back of his stick. She countered wth her own attack, spinning out of the way and crouching down. She aimed for the side of his hip, twiring her wepon before letting it fly out sideways. She simply tapped him there and paused to speak. 

"Remember what i said about watching for stupid openings. I'm going to try to catch you off guard, and you should be ready. Assume that a direct attack wont work and be unpredictable as well. One, zero." she finished. Gripping her stick with both hands she stood and twirled it. "Lets try that again."
