While the blade was so diverted however she swinged her blade in a swift new strike down against the handle, actually causing a cling to rise in the air as her strike sundered the blade, ending the fight leaving the man staring at his ruined rapier.<br/><br/>On hearing his approach then, Karin turned to look back at Tehr, raising a brow hearing his words. Karin smiled but she then cast a sharp look at the man who suddenly seemed a touch nervous as her eyes narrowed slightly, though she turned to smile towards Tehr in a warm fashion, relaxed and standing at ease.<strong>"It was a test of skill for me, to see if I could overcome the odds to win in this or not. After all, a surprise in battle can be lethal if one isn't able to adapt. I could not disarm my foe, so I had to find another way to end the fight quickly. The goal was to not cause too much harm but to make it clear that one person would no longer be able to continue."</strong>Her tone relaxed, she gestured at her opponent calmly at this point then letting out a short chuckle before leaning closer.<br/><br/><strong>"I must admit I am <em>surprised</em> to hear the <em>method</em> of my opponent's triumph, but the challenge was to improve my abilities, and I am known to be able to disarm a fair share of people so I have to admit it was an interesting idea from my tutors. I have a request though."</strong>Lowering her voice slightly she spoke to his ear.<strong>"Your little <em>creations</em> have drawn a fair bit of attention. Yet I wonder, do they require <em>two</em> to charge them for use, or if one is enough at times... and if their 'cleaning' effect could be 'delayed' somehow? I think it might be good for those times when one has to <em>quickly</em> switch from sweaty state after practice to attending to a guest. Or would such 'delay' require further testing?"</strong><br/><br/>She inquired this entirely seriously, though curious look on her face, it was still not overly flirty her tone seeming amused and curious more than aynthing else.
