Snippet #1557857

Vesi hadn’t been that surprised when Amira mentioned sparring although he hadn’t really expected her to want to have a match with him this soon. But before he could react or respond she had grabbed him by the hand and begun to lead him towards the sparring grounds. Though immediately he became somewhat uncomfortable not because a girl was holding his hand but because of the fact that it wasn’t correct for a knight to be holding a princesses hand. Although he eventually consented to just dealing with it as it seemed that for Amira acting like this was something that would happen on a daily basis.

“Yes we can probably get a match or two in before we eat.” He agreed with her as she let go of his hand and the pair made their way down the stairs and down a long corridor before they made their way out into a small field that contained a circle made from wooden fences. It appeared that this would be where the two would have their match. Vesi had assumed that Amira had wanted to fight with blades but it wouldn’t have been the first time he was wrong.

“So are we going to be fighting with weapons or hand-to-hand? As well are there any base rules you would like to lay down?” Vesi questioned as he figured it would be best to allow her to place the rules. After all Vesi had already decided in his mind that he would be allowing her to win this match, because in his experiences most royalty don’t enjoy losing. In fact Vesi had ended up with a few lashes in his early days because he would refuse to lose a fight, even if it was to someone of high importance. But Vesi was older now and had learned much from his younger days.

“The only rule I would like to lay down is that our Deities are not to be involved, at least not for our first match. As we progress we can involve them.” And with that Haukka left Vesi’s shoulder and perched herself on part of the wooden fence. It appeared as if she was readying herself for a front row seat.
