Alright. Wanted to make sure of that as there are different ways of sword fighting involved. *Steps into the ring across from Dact.* I'm ready then good sir. I suppose I should say en garde considering what we are doing, eh? *Sets himself up in a defensive stance with his left hand behind his back and ready to smack aside incoming attacks with the foil in his right.*
Raoul enters the ring waiting for his opponent to do the same. Knowing that this game means business, he resolves to give it his best shot, not wanting to wind up like Victor did.
*Victor or perhaps Race Queen Victoria(Fear the pun) does feel a need to pose while waiting especially for her master of course she can overcome that with willpower.. can't she?*
Same to you, Dact. *He attempts to parry the foil's point off target before pulling his hand and the foil back in close to his body setting up to attempt a quick thrust at the upper chest. The target spot is roughly the point of the helmet's bib if they were wearing the usual fencing attire.* ((OOC: I'll probably be away most of today too so just letting you know. Sorry about that.))
