<strong>Who:</strong>Henrik Raubriter<br/><strong>For:</strong>Open, Chiya specifically<br/><strong>Where:</strong>Outside sparring ring<br/><br/>"That's a good answer." he would nod his head as he commented, keeping the pressure up against her sword; mostly, he was interested in just keeping it locked up and from being able to be used against him. He was careful not to put too much pressure into it, though; if he did that, and she pulled away, he'd be unbalanced and vulnerable.<br/><br/>When things were still, it became hard for him to notice them; the slightest of movements created the subtlest of ripples, and he did not always notice them, especially in the presence of larger ones. But he had felt the tail move before it settled into its position. He knew where it was, even though it was no longer moving, simply by paying close attention.<br/><br/>He disengaged himself from her, and moved off to the side;<em> towards</em>her tail. Though he left either his back or his side vulnerable to her, the scabbard seemed to be held in a position where he could intercept an attack with it. As for his sword, that tool was heading straight down in a mighty, cleaving arc towards her tail.  Because of the charm that was placed to keep the weapon from being able to truly harm her, she would be safe; but one could easily imagine that, were it not for that magic cord, she could  lose a body part.<br/><br/>She will also find that merely avoiding the blow may be much more difficult than it ought to be; the moment she moved the tail, he'd be able to correct his course (to a small degree) to try and hit it. She'd have to move it entirely outside his striking range.
