and everybody's gotta breathe somehow
It was just a little scratch, and Alys put it out of her mind easily enough, even if it did sting a bit. She'd known what she was signing up for when she agreed to spar with Tal, had known that they were going into it with live blades. She also knew he wouldn't hurt her - not badly, anyway, and not on purpose. Although with that blindfold on... well, he could hurt her on accident, just because he couldn't see where he was aiming.
It wasn't a comforting thought.
So when her ruse worked and he turned to follow the sound of her fake footsteps, and when her dagger scraped against his armor once more, she turned to move away, following the illusion she'd set only moments before even as she sent a new one in the opposite direction. Let him try and figure out which was real.
Of course, it didn't seem to matter as moments later, three short jabs interrupted her path. None of them hit the mark, but such a burst of attacks in such a short time frame had her squeaking in surprise and twisting out of the way.
It was strange, this sparring with her best friend. She wasn't keen to continue, really, even if it was important to prepare for whatever was out there. What use was it to fight while pulling her punches (or stabs)? If this was a real fight...
So she unsheathed her second dagger and, using her telekinesis, flung them both in a one-two punch in his direction, praying that his armor would hold and that she wouldn't accidentally disembowel her best friend.
