After a quick breakfast, and a short shopping excursion to get some much needed supplies, Koralle made her way to the docks, the hellhound at her side and her brother just behind her. They purchased their tickets, for a ride to the mainland, and after walking across the deck and storing their belongings in the appropriate rooms, Koralle left the hellhound there. The creature felt ill at ease being on a ship anyhow. Not too much time passed, before the ship went out to sea, and Koralle casually strode across the deck, and looked over the edge of the ship. Watching the waters as they slowly rolled by, she finally glanced to her brother for a moment. "How you doing?" She knew of his fear of water and she knew how much he must have hated being on this boat. But it wasn't like either of tem could fly so this was the only option, to get back to the mainland. |

"How you doing?" a voice came behind him he was sat against a wall slumped down against it his head looking down so he could not see the water he felt sick and scared. "hunky dory!" he said in a sarcastic tone something he always did when he felt scared or wasnt feeling well he couldnt help it he just always seemed to. "I cant wait to this crossing is over," |

She couldn't help but laugh very softly at his sarcastic comment. They were both a couple of smart-asses and usually got in trouble because of it. Of course they always saved each other's hides more than once, expect from their father's lectures whenever he found out about their 'misdeeds'. Stepping closer, Koralle leaned one shoulder against him. "I know. But it shouldn't take too long." They remained there for awhile, and finally Koralle grew tired of standing around and just watching him be all scared and moping around. pushing away from the railing, she drew her sword in one hand, bringing the edge of the blade to rest lightly at Kenji's cheek. "Fight me." She prodded him slightly, cracking a smirk as she did so. "It'll keep your mind of things." Her tone was light and slightly sing-song. Koralle had reason to be in a rather good mood though, she had just found her brother who she'd previously thought dead. A reunion such as that couldn't hold sorrow now could it? |

Koralle leaned against him and he smiled slightly turning to her "I know. But it shouldn't take too long." she said. "It just bugs me though, i know i shouldn't be afraid i mean i almost drowned as a kid yeah but im grown up know its jus water right? but still..." he said hanging his head again. He felt the tip of a sword lay against his cheek and he instantly tensed up "Fight me." said Koralle he turned slightly to see her blade in hand against him. "It'll keep your mind of things." he smiled and nodded slightly. He stepped back away from the blade and drew his own a pair one longer than the other then he stepped into a fighting stance he had created right foot in front long sword held foward in a defensive position and the second sword held like a knife at his side, "ready?" |

There were no friendly one on one practice fights for Koralle, every time she did get in a fight of blade to blade, it was for her life. Still, she remembered her training and she could still recall how to hold back and how to practice without fighting for blood. She wouldn’t shed any blood, not any of her kin, her brother. Having only one sword and skill only with one sword the katana of her family rest in her hand with a well practiced grip. She moved back slightly and shifted her feet, the weapon being brought upward in the stance she knew all to well. Kenji would be the only person to recognize her style, her pose, for it was known only among the members of her family. And Kenj was the only one left. With a nod, she wrapped her grip more tightly around the hilt. "Alright lets go." |

Kenji smiled as she stepped into a predictable pose it was one out of three that their father had thaught them this one looked more like the second, a balanced pose that one could both attack and defend from. Kenji span the smaller blade about in his hand untill it was facing forward and lifted both blades up before spinning about himself and bringing both swords about one just abouve the other his intent to knock Koralle back out of her stance. |

She altered her position just slightly, to avoid being knocked out of her pose and to block off the 'attacks' made against her. Koralle lifted her blade, catching the shorter sword near the tip of the blade and the longer at near the hilt. As she moved both hands to grip the katana's hilt, she pushed off. Altering her body weight only a little bit, to push Kenji away and to not fall over in doing so. Already a few people had started to gather round, wandering what all this was about. Koralle grinned, shifting her weight back for the time being. ””Ey Kenj. What say we give them a show?” If it weren’t for them being at sea, then this could very well be just like back home. When they had sparred in the city streets just to gain attention. Something their father had always lectured them for later, but Koralle still had fun before hand. |

Koralle moved correctly under his blades and caught them both against her one sword a smile flashed over his face as it seemed that neither of them had lost thier knack for fighting. She pushed him away with he sword and he stepped back spining Irisis in his hand as he did so, so that the blade face down again. Koralle grinned at him and said ”Ey Kenj. What say we give them a show?” Kenji for the first time took note of the gathering crowd. "ha, just like old time ey?" he said with a similar grin. Kenji edged closer to her again spinning Tian his larger blade about in his right hand then he lunged foward with it. |

”Pretty much, yeah.” As she pushed off, she took a step back, copying the sword spin with her right hand. Times like these, they weren’t so much a fight, as they were a dance. The remained Adalwolfs had always been able to compliment one another, they were near mirror images when they decided to lock blades. Even if this time was a tad bit different. Their similarities were so striking though, of course Koralle just attributed it to the fact of them being twins. Her weapon brought back across, Koralle shifted her weight once more, readying herself for Kenji’s next move. When he stepped forward and brought her larger blade up and around Koralle already had her own weapon to block. There was the all too familiar strike of steel against steel and Koralle was already altering her position and turning enough to doge the second blade. ”Don’t tell me you’ve gotten slower brother?” |

"Pretty much, yeah." was her reply casuing Kenji to smile his sky blue eyes shining in the midday sun as he forgot totally about the water just enjoying his sisters company once again. Again she blocked his first sword as he attacked and he nodded with a smirk as she dodged out of the way of the second. "Don’t tell me you’ve gotten slower brother?” she asked and he chuckled slightly "nah im just going easy on ya sis," he said spining off and brining his swords back into thier defensive position, Tian pointing striaght up and irisis held much like a knife pointing down. "come attack me for a change eh?" he said grinning. |

She feigned a hurt look at the ‘going easy’ comment, as if the very thought of any special regards was an insult to her. This was quickly replaced by a hint of smirk before she altered her position, brining her weapon around once more. ”Well, if that’s what you want…” Changed the grip of her sword and her stance from one of defense to a pose more suitable for an offensive maneuver, Koralle stepped quickly forward. Ever cautious of his second blade, Koralle brought her katanas in side arc to his right, her motions timed so that she could get past his sword if at all possible. Of course it wouldn’t be a much powered strike, as she was not about to risk hurting the only bit of family she had left. ”Remember this move?” |

He chuckled as she feinged a hurt expression at his going slow comment she then smirked as her sword came to. ”Well, if that’s what you want…” she said. He smiled as he recognised her grip was made ot better suite offensive type moves rather than offesive, his own blades were held in a half defensive half offensive hold in that his shorter blade was held downwards to parry and the longer upwards to counter attack. She stepped towards him and his smile returned to his face the sword came towards his right arm the one that held his defensive blade as Kenji had learned to be ambidextrous as usually a left hander put off most right handed opponants. His sword moved downwards to bloke the blade a small clang rung out as the blade colided Kenji easily halting the powerless blade. ”Remember this move?” she had asked him midway at the time he had not paid attention to it meerly trying to block the blade, "yeah easy stuff spotted it a mile off, now try this one!" He then swung his own sword round in a counter attack motion aiming low and for her legs...well he wouldn't want to cause a fatal wound now would he... |

Koralle never had been able to get the hang of dual blade use, she was good with the katana that was for sure but she never had been able to use any other weapon effectively. Not that she hadn’t tried, and her father had tried to teach her, but Koralle had always preferred a katana above all else. Of course the katana belonging t their family had an odd grip, with its hilt shaped like a running wolf, and it took Koralle awhile to get used to that. But she did get used to it, and now it was the only thing she was really good at. She wasn’t as skilled as her brother’s but se had always been the most stubborn one out of the Adalwolf children and that was what kept her going, even if she lacked confidence in herself it was her determination that kept her fighting. Even if this was only a spar, she played to win, just as Kenji played to win. As soon as her blade had been blocked she altered her feet, well knowing that Kenji would easily try to put both his weapons to good use. Koralle wasn’t a show off by any means, but it still would be embarrassing to loose the dual so early especially with the people who were now gathered around. It wasn’t easy dodging such a swift counter, and even though she jumped back she near stumbled due to the abruptness of her changing position. Koralle landed with one knee on the deck but her sword still held up in defense. Laughing slightly she rose her eyes to meet her brother’s. ”Not bad, Kenj. Not good enough either.” She cracked a grin at that, this was the first time in a long while that she had truly smiled. But it shifted to a smirk and she was up and forwards again, this time throwing a bit of her limited range of magic into the mix. Hey, it balanced out the fact that he had two swords and she only had one, didn’t it? The one spell Koralle was really good at was the ice elemental, even if she couldn’t do much other than slip up her opponents that was what she just did. Trying to knock her brother over backwards she quickly brought the Wolf’s Soul to meet the foremost of his two blades and with the spell she cast to make the deck slippery beneath his feet Kenji would have a hell of a time keeping stable. ”Like my new trick Kenj?” |

Koralle jumped back from his counter almost stumbling she went down onto one knee and a smile came to Kenji’s face, he remembered back home in training they would have been stopped her and their father would have gone over what they had done well and what they had done wrong before setting them off again. “Not bad, Kenj. Not good enough either.” She said Kenji smiled with her oh how fun it was to tease and joke with each other he had missed this so much. Koralle moved at him again her sword coming about to meet his larger blade as they connected Kenji slipped back onto his bum as they ground below him turned to ice, the surrounding crowd laughed at his misfortunes. “Like my new trick Kenj?” she said as he went slightly red in the face. Then doing something his father would probably have reprimanded him for as one should fight dirty it doesn’t pay to. His legs shot out one either side of Koralle's leg one at the ankle and one at the knee, pushing forward and backward he knocked her to the ground then spinning round his blade touched against her throat. “Now that wasn’t nice using magic against me! So when ya learn that?” he asked |

She laughed slightly, though she really shouldn’t have. It was her turn to be embarrassed next, and rather painfully as a matter of fact. Just as she was busied dismissing her little spell, Kenji had taken the opportunity to kick her feet out from under her. With a curse she fell, hitting the ground hard with a wince. Before she could even bring her sword arm around she’d been “defeated”. ”Damn … didn’t expect you to fight dirty.” Maybe her little method had been a bit of a dirty fight, but Koralle found it fair enough what with him having two blades and her having only the one. Koralle would have at least attempted to push the blade away from her neck, in a true fight it wouldn’t have been a smart idea but in this mock battle she could get away with it. Unfortunately she had forgotten about the little fact that just a few days ago she had gained that cut to her side, and what with the little sword fight and all the pain had returned and she was immediately aware of the fact that she should have taken better care of herself three days previously. ”I … taught myself that.” Putting her sword away and letting her hand fall to her side, she moved to sit up, carefully shoving Kenji’s sword away while she was at it. ”As much as I’d like to get back to kicking your butt… I need a break.” |
