WITH GUY

[evervigilante]

((continued here))

[tenses]

[acivilservant]

[Lands, draws, and lunges at your back]

[evervigilante]

[turns slightly to block that blow and twists his sword subtly to loosen your grip]

[acivilservant]

[Drops his shoulder abruptly, following your path of motion, and ends up fully back to back with you]

Not too bad!

[evervigilante]

You're not too bad yourself. Was that unnerving enough?

[acivilservant]

[considers] Yeah, I guess that'll keep me good for a while. [Sheaths sword, drapes on]

Someday I'll give you a real fight, when I'm not worried about us accidentally hurting somebody -- knowing this place, we'd end up with somebody getting stuck under the mistletoe spell to one of us, while we're fighting.

[evervigilante]

We can't have that.

[acivilservant]

No, I'm really serious. I'm not about to go maybe putting other people at risk, just so I can have a good time.

[evervigilante]

Now I feel like a delicate snowflake.

[acivilservant]

Huh? Oh, no no -- I didn't mean you. I meant somebody else might randomly wander by. If they get stuck trying to kiss one of us while we're fighting, that could get ugly.

I'm fairly sure that we could still figure it out between just us, even in the middle of a fight.

[evervigilante]

I figured the same.

[acivilservant]

You have turned out to be pretty good at thinking on your feet, anyway.

...That'd probably make for kind of an exciting fight, actually, so long as I didn't have to be worried about other people.

[evervigilante]

I wouldn't be a good swordsman if I didn't.

[acivilservant]

You wouldn't be an exciting one, anyway.

[evervigilante]

I'd just let myself down along with everyone else.

[acivilservant]

Got really high standards, huh?
