Atton's sat on some boxes, swinging his legs. He's given Guppy a wooden sword.

"So, show us what you can do."

Atton's sword is shoved upwards, but he brings the sheath around towards Guppy's face.

Guppy ducks and sort of jumps back a few feet, well out of the way.

Atton flicks his sword about, moving closer.

Not so close that he's in Guppy's range, but close enough that Guppy is in his. Longer arms are a longer sword do have their good points.

He feints high, then slashes across at Guppy's ribs.

Guppy steps back just in time for the sword to make a little cut in his clothing, then steps to the side and sends the sword at Atton while his sword is moving the other way.

Atton steps out of the way, dropping down and swinging his sheath at Guppy's ankles.

Guppy jumps the sheath, lunges at Atton, then steps back.

Atton slides out of the way and towards Guppy, sword swinging about at him.

Guppy blocks and steps away.

Atton follows, sword making patterns in the air as he feints and slashes.

Guppy takes another few steps back.

"Can we take a time out please." he says, "I need to ask a question."

Plus he's out of breath. Unfit Guppy is unfit.

Atton flicks his sword about, wiping it off (though the lack of anything on it suggests this is more ritual or habit than anything else) and sheathing it.

"You did well. Didn't die, which is better than when we started," he says, heading back toward the boxes. He's not out of breath at all, it seems. "Go on."

Will tosses him a bottle of water,

"Drink that."

Guppy takes a swig.

"Okay, when I block, what do I do next? How do I swing back without, like, unblocking?"

"Okay. Attack me again, and I'll show you," Atton says, drawing his sword.

Will relaxes again, Atton's doing a good job of teaching Guppy.

Guppy does so, slowing down when the sword gets near Atton so that Atton can show him in slow motion.

Atton shows him, very slowly, blocking the sword, twisting and pushing it aside, and using the opening made to stab at Guppy's stomach. He stops before he would actually hit Guppy.

They repeat the exercise a couple of times. Sometimes Atton bears the sword down, cuts at Guppy's arm (without touching) and then slashes him. Sometimes he blocks, pushes the sword away, slides past and slashes Guppy's back. The varieties are many.

Eventually he sheaths his sword.

"Counter attacks are important. If I'd been going at full speed during our spar, I would've looked to use that to keep you always on the defensive. Counter attacks help that."

Guppy nods.

"But I, I mean you, wouldn't be standing still."

"Yes, Guppy, that's why you need to get the sword out of the way and then very quickly strike. Remember, if you're striking, even if they get the sword back towards you, they kinda have to block. They might try to dodge, but you need t'be faster."

Guppy nods.

"I don't know how long I could keep that up for. How do I disarm someone?"

From: [identity profile] stuck-mynock.livejournal.com
"Cutting off their hand works pretty well. Or just slashing it. Alternatively, if you're in a sword lock, twisting and wrenching it away with enough force that they can't keep a hold of it."

Beat.

"Sometimes they will try to cuddle you. You must shun them if they do, like I shun Will," shoving Will, "else it'll lead to only pain."

Will just laughs and shoves Atton back,

"Isna too 'ard to learn 'ow to disarm."
