"Well alright then i suppose thats a fairly good reason for attacking first, and thank you for the potato ill have to go find something to cook it with but i can do that later when its rest time."

*As he talks he tosses the potato between his hands there is seemingly no purpose to this action it appears to be done just cause he felt it might be entertaining. And after a few minutes of walking he walks over to the other aide of the horse and begins speaking in a friendly tone*

"You are quite the ugly horse who will be abandoned when you outlive your usefulness, are you aware of this you glorified backpack?"

*He speaks friendly and maintains a calm and relaxed walking pattern showing no signs of anger disgust or malice in any shape or form, and he appears to be watching the horses reaction to everything he said.*
Robert
*The horse turned its head towards the Macen, its eyes becoming fixated on him as came around to his other side. He came to a slow stop, catching Terrel's attention as the elf found himself looking back to watch the Macen talk to the horse.*

"You know if you're expecting him to talk back, you're in the wrong part of the forest."*Terrel said jokingly.*"Though I have heard about there being some kind of horse spirits from a centaur. I doubt they'd take too kindly to you insulting their kind."

*It was obvious with the way he said it that he didn't believe it nor did he really seem to care about the Macen insulting his horse with his odd fascination in speaking to him.

The horse's tail flicked back idly while it flared its nostrils leading off to a sort of snorting kind of sound. Terrel tugged on his lead slightly which was enough to get him to turn his head forward to continue moving along the trail they were on at a nice steady pace.*
Todd
*As aize finished his test to see if the horse could understand human speech he lifted his head up and faced towards terrel, as he did this he went back around to the other side of the horse and stared at terrel.*

"I wasnt actually expecting the horse to speak that would take a bit more mutation then this creature seems to have. What i was doing was seeing if it understood our language or if it understood the tone of voices, and it appears it does not and while it is disappointing its not unexpected. I still have more tests to run on you and the horse but i am just doing the more simple ones now while i can since you may decide you want me to go away and i dont wanna waste an oppertunity like this."
Robert
"As great as that sounds."*He said with a hint of amused sarcasm.*"You still owe me a lesson in things that can help with combat. So I won't stop you with whatever observation you're trying to do."*Terrel eventually came to a stop at an opening in the path. With the area surrounded by trees and the path continuing to the opposite side, it seemed like a good enough place for them to stop for now.*

"So go on then."*He said, turning to the Macen and letting go of the reigns of his horse.*"Continue your study."*With Terrel no longer holding the reigns, his horse began trotting around the area in search of the best place to graze.*
Todd
"How about i teach you a weak spot in the macen body that can allow you to take out their arms without killing them or doing to much damage, it could be quite useful if your opponent is stronger then you and you need to stop their arms so they dont kill you. Its also a weak spot in most armour so its most likely gonna be an area covered by chainmail or something else, if you dont wanna bother learning something like that."

*He holds the potato in his hand and watches stares at terrel while waiting for his response.*
Robert
"Killing would have been a nice plus."*He stated, walking over to where his horse had stopped to graze and removing the red cloak from around his shoulders, coming to reveal the light colored undershirt beneath. Terrel neatly laid it atop his horse's back before turning back towards the Macen.*

"But armor can be hard to surpass even with a sword, so I'd be impressed to see how you would manage that."*He said, going along with what Aize planned to show him.*
Todd
"Would you be alright if i teach you by fighting you, i promise none of the damage will be able to kill you but it might hurt alot. It would be easier to show you through first hand experience but if you dont want to do it that way i could always give you a lecture on the best places to strike in unarmed combat and potentially swordplay if you get creative and adapt the knowledge to it."

*He sets the potato hes been holding in his hands for awhile on the ground and stares at terrel awaiting the response of wether or not he wants hands on teaching or just an explanation.*
Robert
*Terrel remained silent for a long while as if considering it, that or he was simply staring back at Aize like he could answer his own question. However, it was hard to really tell with the lack of emotion shown through the mask. Eventually he gave a nod and stated simply:* 

"Tell me first."*There was a hinted sign that he didn't seem to really trust the Macen in the combat he claimed to know, either by his lack of enjoying it or by the fact that they had only just met. The Furrow around his neck had slowly waded along his shoulder as it found it no longer had the cover of his cloak to protect itself, now trying to find a way to hide within the folds of his shirt.*
Todd
"Of course ill tell you, the first one is the throat if you strike it with your hand it makes the person choke and can give you enough time to capture or kill them if needed. Next up is under the arm pits, if you jab it with a finger you can cause great pain and shut down someones arm if done correctly leaving them practically defenceless unless they specialize in kicking, the next weak spot is the nose if you punch someone in the nose it causes their eyes to water blinding them making it easier to take them down. There are many more weak points but these ones are the ones ill show you in this fight, they arent perminently damaging but they are effective at incapacitating someone."

*As he finished speaking he pulled his suspenders aside and took his shirt off, he neatly folded his shirt and set it aside as to not get it dirty or torn from the fight.*
Robert
"Well that seems more obvious than what you made it out to be."*He says, grabbing the Furrow from his shoulder and placing it down on the ground. It looked around, finding itself out in the open and quickly scurried off to the nearest cover, that being the Elf's horse who seemed oblivious to the small bird trying to climb up its lowered neck.*

"I'd be surprised if no one knew about at least one of those from experience alone."*He stated as he watched the Macen remove his shirt to set it down on the ground. The ears upon his mask had flopped to the side, though he didn't appear like he planned on removing it with his cloak.*
Todd
"Well like i said there are many more these are just the basics since it would be bad to teach you more advanced things without a proper base to work from, now will you be using a sword or your fists?"

*He watched the furrow scurry off as he talked since it was a bit eye catching and the fight hadnt started so he wasnt to worried about being a slight bit distracted yet.*
Robert
*His eyes shifted to the sword before looking back at Stephan right after.*"I figured we were trying to incapacitate rather than decapitate."*He said with a smirk.*"Wouldn't want to lose our heads just from a demonstration."*Though Terrel was more used to using his sword, he figured it was best to just stick with fists for now with however simple the demonstration tended to be.*

"Go ahead and come at me then."*He said, taking a slight stance, one leg slightly in front of the other. His horse lifted its head, chewing on the grass it had picked up as it stared at the two of them with new company sitting atop his head.*
Phillip
*Aize takes down his steel like skin and puts his hands up in front of him covering his face and he lowers his head a bit to cover his neck, he keeps his legs slightly bent and he looks ready to brawl but he doesnt seem to make th first move. And as he gets into his stance he speaks.*

"Since you arent using your sword i shall not use my defensive mutations so this is a fair brawl, if you had used a sword i would have needed to have it up. Although after this we can do swordplay training if you'd like tryibg to strike a moving target is much better experience then striking a immobile object or someone you might hurt, or using a wooden sword."
Robert
*Terrel studied him through his hidden gaze, the slight movement of him lowering his head to protect the front of his neck while his hands took up the area more around its side. With the mutation falling away, he seemed more exposed now, though with the Macen seeing it as more fair Terrel didn't argue. 

He listened to the Macen speak, though Terrel seemed more focused on his actions.*"I'm waiting."*He said in a low monotone voice as if carrying out in conversation was beginning to bore him with the Macen's hesitation. The Elf lifted his arms in mimicking the Macen before he would take a couple steps to the side, the starting of an arc being created as he awaited the Macen's move.*
Phillip
*Aize begins approaching terrel slowly while keeping his gaurd up and then using his right arm goes in for a punch to terrels nose, and as he is going for the punch he uses his left leg to try and stomp his heel forward into terrels shin. He observes terrels movements as he is doing this watching how he reacts to his attacks.*

*While aize may be trying to teach terrel a bit about hand to hand fighting, he is also studying terrel and seeing how he handles himself since he is curious if terrel has anymore mutations or something that may give him a clue as to the reason for terrels pig face.*
Robert
*Terrel awaited the Macen's approach. As he drew near to go in for a punch towards his nose followed by a kick to his shin, the Elf move to the left. Though it did force him to move more towards the Macen's punch, he made himself turn to the side so that the punch would merely graze across the front of mask's snout. As decent as a hit it seemed, the nose of the mask extended past the Elf's own, leaving him un-phased by it. His stare remained blank while he used the opportunity to reach for the Macen's extended arm, more so towards the wrist to get a firm hold of it.*
Phillip
*As terrel dodged the punch to the side and moved in closer and aizes punch missed aize changed his attack once his arm was extended he swiftly moved it to the at a slight angle into terrels throat, and as he did this he used the force of his strike to help him turn to face terrel. And while he was attacking he thought to himself about how terrel was unphased by his snout being grazed.*
Robert
*Terrel grabbed at the Macen's arm with his left hand as Aize went to swing at his throat, tightening his grasp on it to have better control of it in order to prevent it from hitting him. With his right hand he balled it into a fist before swinging up towards the Macen's face with an uppercut towards Aize's lowered jaw.*
Phillip
*Uses his free right arm to strike the left side of terrel he aims for the ribs and makes sure he doesnt go any lower as to avoid dealing possibly lethal damage. And aize lets terrel punch his jaw since his arm was stopping him from getting an angle to get a proper uppercut.*
Robert
*Terrel instinctively retracted his right arm as he was hit in the ribs. At the very least it was on the bone rather than the part of the abdomen that went unprotected. He tried to use the movement to turn slightly away from Aize, using his left leg in the motion to try to sweep the Macen off his feet.*
Phillip
*As terrel attempts to turn to knock aize off his feet he uses this opertunity to grab terrels hair and yank him backwards while hes mid turn using the placement of his leg trying to sweep aize off his feet to make him more off balanced, and the fact hes holding aizes arm still adds to this. Aize uses all of this to pull terrel to the ground by his hair.*
Robert
*As Terrel could feel his head being yanked back, he tugged his head forward to fight against it only for him to feel the strain of hair being pulled at his scalp. He would quickly turn into the Macen, lunging at him in an attempt to tackle him to the ground.*
Phillip
*As he attempts this aize just punches terrel in the face as he tried to tackle him, combing the force of terrel lunging and the force of aize punching to strengthen the blow straight to terrels nose with a full power punch.*
Robert
*He put most of his strength into tackling the Macen to the ground. As Aize had removed his hand from the Elf's hair to go into a punch, Terrel had turned his head to the side, feeling the strength of the blow land across his cheek. His expression remained transfixed though beneath the mask a bruise most likely bound to form.*
Phillip
*As terrel was hit in the face during his lunge, aize then rammed his knee into terrels gut. And as he did this he uses his hand to swing at terrels face to distract him. Also by this point aize has realized that terrel has been wearing a mask it took him getting a few punches on it for him to realize but he finally understood.*
Robert
*Terrel could feel his knee dig into his stomach as the both of them fell to the ground, not much space provided for him to much force into the pressured feeling created by it. He tried to position himself better, lifting himself up higher to remove the feeling of a knee in his gut while he tried to move his left knee up to rest just below the Macen's sternum, leaving his right leg out behind him for balance. He let out a tired exhale of air, a moment's pause in action as he stared back at the Macen.*
Phillip
"What a splendid brawl my good sir you handled yourself well, although you did get a bit wild near the end there, never the less i did learn quite a bit about you and i feel i know what i could teach you that may help now that i have a decent grasp on your hand to hand fighting skills."

*Aize sits up and pulls himsefl out from under terrel before standing up and dusting his pants off, he doesnt even have a scratch on him since terrel never landed a hit besides the tackle.*

"Its quite a shame that my pants became dirtied but oh well i can always get more later, after all its just a pair of pants. Also i tried to avoid any spots where vital organs or permanent damage could happen, so you should be better in around a few days time. Tell me would you like me to make us some lunch before we continue our journey on the road?"
Robert
*Terrel pulled himself up to a kneeling position as he watched Aize pick himself and dust off his pants through a masked gaze. Though sweat had began to collect within the mask, he didn't give off mhch other implications of the affect from the fight besides what was already visible. When Aize claimed he learned a bit about him, the Elf raised an invisible eyebrow and asked:*

"And what exactly did you learn from that?"*He eventually stood back up to his feet and turned to walk back towards his horse to grab the cloak he had left around it. A cooler breeze was already beginning to remove the heat he felt collecting, leaving him to grab the red cloak and wrap it around his shoulders while he continued to listen to the Macen speak of his observations during the fight. Terrel had to admit, he didn't favor the hand to hand combat, but he merely shrugged away at his words, feeling he hadn't learned much more than a few easily to point out weaknesses that most had. When the Macen asked if he could make them lunch, Terrel said simply:*

"Sure, I bet you can make a whole feast with that potato."*He said, gesturing to the vegetable the Macen had left abandoned earlier. It was of course a joke highlighted by the Elf's smirk while he focused more on guiding his horse over.*
Phillip
*Aize picked up his shirt and put it back on and pulling his suspenders back into place before reaponding to terrels question about what he had learned.*

"Well i learned that your head isnt really a pigs head its a mask, i also learned when you start getting more sloppy the more you fail at attacking someone, you also have a real problem with not keeping an eye on your targets limbs you mainly seem to watch the arms when you should try to watch the limbs you cant see. Also you appear to try a bit to hard to make fancy moves like spinning and sweeping the leg, and while those can be good moves it shouldnt be done by amateurs since those kinds of moves leave you exposed, a spin leaves you back exposed and with that hair you're practically begging it to be tugged, and as for the leg sweeping that leaves your crotch exposed to be sliced or hit and you should never leave that exposed its one of your greatest weaknesses. These are just the most prominent things i learned."
Robert
*Terrel came to a stop in front of the Macen while he listened to him, silencing ensuing from the Elf. He rose a hand up to the mask, running his gloved thumb along the area where he was hit across his cheek. Though he couldn't feel anything from his hand's end, the pressure was enough to signify the damage left. While Aize continued talking, he ran the hand back to his rosy pink locks of hair, recently cut short so that it fell just about down to his shoulders. 

He could feel the hot breath of his horse snorting at the back of his head, drawing his attention back to reality while Aize finished his assessment of Terrel's clumsy match. The Elf tilted his head upwards in acknowledgment.*

"Consider me surprised then."*He stated.*"Guess I did learn something from this after all."*He rose his other hand up to pat under the chin of his horse while the Furrow took the opportunity to leap down to Terrel's cloak.*"Is this the observation you were looking for or were you hoping to fight the horse as well?"*He asked, glancing back at the Macen, the ears flopping to the side of his head as he did.*
Phillip
"Hmm you know i think you use a bit to much sarcasm i understand i may be a bit unorthodox but i only have good intentions and i only wish to assist you, but you seem to only wanna be sarcastic to my offers insulting my cooking capabilities and me doing my tests with your horse. And while i may be able to tolerate it most of the time id apprciate it if you could at least cut back on it, also i have learned enough for today, and even though it appears neither of you actually possess any real mutations ill still travel beside you because we had a deal so ill help you become a better fighter because you let me run my tests."

*He picks up the potato he had set down before*
