Tehr smiled and gestured to a nearby bench.  "I find such practice fascinating, though I admit that I'm not well skilled.  As long as you give me your leave to watch, you may take as long as you need.  I'd greatly enjoy the show."<br/><br/>He found it astounding that the attractive blonde could parry such a large blade with a thin rapier and a small dagger.  It was almost in it's own way a different type of magic.  The graceful dance of parries, thrusts, ripostes, and dodges.  It was something he knew he would never achieve.  He was nimble enough he supposed, and with his throwing knives could hit a target the size of an apple at twenty paces three throws out of five.  Likewise he could swing his staff, more often used as a walking stick than anything else, to keep away an unchained dog or jealous husband.  But what Karin d'Saari was doing, what he'd seen Tera do, was as astounding as any magical spell.<br/><br/>He watched as the two continued their sparring, honestly and eagerly watching the match.  He felt he could after a while see some of the same forms being repeated.  He guessed that it was much like casting spells, the body had to be a certain way, as his fingers needed to be. The mind prepared and alert, muscles tight, a craft honed through repetition.  He almost felt bad for interrupting the sparring session, and sat quietly, watching raptly.  He lost track of time as he watched two women dance and practice, and only applauded when Karin finally called an end to their match.<br/><br/>He stood and dipping two well used mugs in the barrel of water at the end of the bench, hurried to the two women who were removing their helmet and gloves.  Offering a mug of water to each he beamed, "Thank you for letting me watch.  I am amazed at both of your prowess, something I could never achieve.  I am humbled by the display and glad that I came in time to witness it."<br/><br/>He offered a broad smile to Karin after a slight bow from the neck and waited for her to strike up a line of conversation before deciding if he should leap into business or wait to see what she thought of his intrusion.
