However, Izzy was fast on the reaction, not affording him much time with the distraction to capitalize on it. No sooner than she sprung back to avoid the low sweep did she spring forward again with both legs outstretched. This was going to hurt for sure if it connected... Two hooved feet coming in for one focused strike, and without the shield, blocking it wouldn't be an option.<br/><br/><em>'Leaves nothing to chance... Were this a real fight, this would be dangerous to folow up on.'</em>he thought bitterly. Instead he traveled low, allowing her to travel over him, bringing the club up to strike her as she passed. However, she seemed to possess a similar thought, intending to using her newly-acquired shield to strike him in the head, instead used to block the club. He slid past, tossing the club from his left to his right hand before looking down to grab her spear without a second thought, whipping the weapon around one-armed in order to deter a follow up.<br/><br/>He certainly hadn't been expecting it, but the swing of the spear made contact with her leg, the force deadlocking with the limb for the briefest moment before he dropped the weapon, moving in while using the club in his right hand to prepare to engage the shield. She would likely dance back, but if she were savvy and a little bit daring she could have leaned forward to use her antlers to deter him. Nevertheless, he stopped short once he closed in, taking a deep breath.<br/><br/>"That's enough for now, I think... If we keep this up, you're going to bruise me like a banana." he remarked, before he dropped the club a moment later to adopt a neutral stance. Shaking his arms and legs, he gave the doe a friendly nod. "I like your resourcefulness, how well you plan, and how quickly you adapt when those plans change. Those qualities will take you farther than just simply knowing how to use what you've got on hand." he continued, before looking to the villa, stomach grumbling.<br/><br/>"A good little romp always gets me feeling hungry after..." he sighed, forgetting the awkward choice of words for the moment as he moved toward the bucket of water nearby. Reaching down to pick it up, he held it out to her to have the first fill, whether to drink or cool herself off with.
