He rolled his eyes as the sphinxes started stripping, ignoring the succulent flesh being revealed with what most would think was superhuman effort, turning to Elwyrr. "Sure, outside. I should warn you though, I am mostly self taught, so I might end up doing something that is stupidly brilliant, or brilliantly stupid. I happen to be a born dabbler, width rather than depth. And defensive for the most part."<br/><br/>He drew the longsword and short sword once they were outside, the short sword leading, but reversed, so that the flat lay against his forearm, clearly intended to use it as a mock 'shield.' He wasn't sure of the bracelet/shield item Aurelia had given him, and wanted something to ensure that if it didn't stop physical attacks, he would have something to at least catch the blow. His long sword was low and behind him, the point almost to the ground, clearly intending to make powerful but telegraphed attacks, but coming in from behind and below, to up and across, should make hitting things a bit easier. Done admitting that he was the student, he waited to see if Elwyrr wanted to critic his stance, and if not, let the Fae come to him.
