I hope that this would not be a bother but I am curious.

Is anyone interested in sparring with me? The only requirement is if they can handle short distance fighting.

[There's a rustling in the trees a few minutes later as Otoha drops into them from a leap off of a nearby building, and then drops to the ground. That must be her.]

You're the one who asked for the fight, right?

[That must be him]

Yes, that is correct. I apologize for not telling you my name, it is rather rude not to introduce myself during a spar. My name is Chitose, you are sir?

Just call me Otoha.

[... He should probably ask this before he launches into a fight, since it's just a spar -]

How experienced with a sword are you, anyway?

It's a pleasure to meet you, Otoha-san.

[A pause.]

I have been using the katana for most of my life, I believe that I am fairly experienced with it.

Good. The same with me. So we shouldn't have any problems.

[He draws his sword, preparing for the fight. He's never really liked talking much during fights, anyway.]

When you're ready.

[With that said, Chitose places a sword in front of her as a means to block any incoming attacks. However, if he won't make the first move, then she will.]

[Oh. Well then. He dashes towards her, sword lifted almost casually as he goes for a strike towards her shoulder.]

[She'll make a quick step to the side and hopefully make a slash from there.]

[He darts away, only the tip of her sword catching on his jacket. He'll spin and go for a quicker slash towards her side this time.]

[He manages to do so but it was a small cut. Thank goodness she was usually rather quick on her feet as she dodge most of it. As she moved away, she looked down and smirked. She once again disappeared to be hidden in a nearby tree]

[... Well. Otoha grins, and leaps up into the trees. If he can't see her right now, he'll just wait until he can pounce.]

[With that said, Chitose quickly tried to outrun him by leaping tree to tree. Winning wasn't important but she hated to lose. There was no way she was going to make it easy]

[He chuckles, and chases after her. His natural agility is working in his favor as he races towards her.]

[In the meantime, she was quickly trying to find another way to attack him. So, he's as quick as she was.

Well then, she makes a leap back to the ground and waits for him as he follows through]

[He jumps down as well, only taking the briefest of pauses before launching after her.]

[She waited for him to make an attack and went to duck if anything were to happen]

[He launches another forward attack, an overhead slash this time, using his height to his advantage.]

[She wasn't expecting that and decided to move to the side as quickly as she could. However, he managed to take a good slash on her leg. Ow]

I underestimate you. [She said as she looks as her bleeding leg. She moves around a bit before straggling a bit]

It happens.

[He pauses, a little hesitant to keep going if she's injured.]

Do you need a bandage? I have some in my jacket...

[As much as she hated to lose, he was right. She did rely a lot on her legs and if one goes down...]

Yes, I believe so. I appreciate your willingness to help me.

It's no problem.

[He pulls out a roll of white bandages from one of his coat pockets, tossing it to her.]

[As she sat down and quickly bandages her leg...]

Do you want to continue this spar? [It would be rude to suddenly stop without asking him first...]

I wouldn't want to push you too far on that leg.

[She looks at it once more. She hated to lose but...]

Perhaps you're right...it would be best to admit defeat.

[... Aw. Why are you such a cute kid.]

Not defeat. Just a pause for now.
