@hiddenvagabond [ Phantoms..!? She was able to do this as well..? Not good, she's going to get overwhelmed like this. She draws away, taking off to the air to avoid the phantoms entirely.
With swift speed, she slices into the air, sending a wave towards Rei below her. ]
@hiddenvagabond [ The shorter blade was soon unsheathed in an instant, taking the second strike in a clash! ]
Hmf..!! I don't think I've drawn this blade before against you.
@hiddenvagabond [ Keen blue eyes watch their opponent, swiftly deflecting the blade and redirecting it's course upward..! ]
Hngh-! Fast...
[ She slides her blade free to try and go for a thrust! ]
@hiddenvagabond [ That piqued her curiosity. Did she do that the last time..? She knows she can utilize weaponry of unknown origins, but... ]
Very well.
[ She grips the Roukanken with unshakable strength, parting her legs and getting into position. ]
I'll allow you the first strike, Rei-san.
@hiddenvagabond [ takes a moment to think it through, then grips the hilt of her blade. ]
Very well.
I would like to observe your strength once more, to see if you've grown stronger since our last.
The little sparrow was closer than I could have anticipated. The cute little bird didn't make a single chirp, silently keeping a close eye on me.
What was it about me that intrigued the sparrow?
It flapped close, enjoying the young, beautiful night.
It matched my footsteps...
Yesterday, a little sparrow followed me through the woods. The feint flapping in the air was obscured within the rustling of grass with each step I took.
I didn't notice it... yet I had the feeling of being observed.
