i will summarize a bunch

Janus, [they answer easily, their voice mild, conversational, matching the neat little smile on their face.

contrast to: the sudden lunge they make at her, wooden sword hurling down with superior force and the higher angle. both are tactical advantages, but she's small, quick, and she's learned from the best-- she deflects them easy, the blades cracking loud enough to draw a brief look from the other gym-goers.]
Pleasure to make your acquaintance, [they add.

after that, it's a steady trade of blows. janus is quick for their size, and supernaturally strong, but she gets inside the reach of their arms once and gets them with a solid shot of her elbow into their thigh. they wind up hopping a moment, throwing her a show of teeth that's half grimace, half grin, and half... gratitude, probably, for sparing their balls. they knock her legs out from under her just once— a risky endeavor that they take equal time to recover from. she doesn't let janus catch her like that again, leaping high the next time she sees them slide low.

there's a sheen of sweat between janus' shoulder-blades, their hair pricking into their eyes. they breathe from the chest.]


Before swords, what did you do with all-- this energy?
