you can never turn down a good fight can you marvelous
WHO: Captain Marvelous and Saber
WHERE: Between the junk pile and the Rec Center
WHEN: After this post.
WHAT: Saber and Marvelous spar.
WARNINGS: It's a sparring match, but I don't foresee anything actually objectionable.
Marvelous lands near the blonde woman he assumes is Saber in a flash of red light; he's briefly in-suit, but immediately after landing he sheds it, leaving him in his regular clothes. If it turns out he's going to need the boost, he'll be happy to put it on. As it stands, Saber seems like a normal human. He crosses his arms over his chest as he sizes her up.
"Saber, right?" he says, one eyebrow raised.

sorry i'm so slow lately @_@
She's basically telegraphing the moves, but they're still impressive, and his mouth quirks a little as he steps up his pace to match her. The sudden strength difference is jarring, and he nearly breaks under the first overhead slash before he manages to shove it away to his right.
Her change from defensive to offensive is appreciated; it gives him time to see where she might be neglecting in the paradigm shift. If she makes a misstep, he'll be right there to catch it, and tear it wide open. (Admittedly, that will require getting out from under the damn sword, first, but he's always been resourceful.)
With the length of her sword, she might be looking to get some distance on things, and keep him at bay there. He's not interested in being at her mercy, and sticks as close as he can, waiting for his moment.
dude, me too. christmas blues.
He's waiting for an opening, and understandably so. She doesn't intend to give it to him, however.
The moves begin to speed up, and they're somewhat less easy to read. The overhead slashes start to come down in more circular motions, and the swipes to the sides come in more diagonally. Her speed would be overwhelming for someone untrained, but to him it'd likely be around the area of "very quick".
As she picks up her pace and continues to step forward into him, her swings become somewhat larger. The speed increase stops him from being able to suddenly jab into her flow easily. The knight has decided it's time to put a slightly larger gap of distance between them.
