[1v1] Practice Makes Perfect! (Estel vs. Quillan)

[Luridel]

THIS time she was ready. This time she was sure she was going to hit him.

She curled her hand into a fist as she ran back towards Quillan, swung, and missed entirely.

It took a lot of effort (and a lot more luck) but Quillan managed a hit for the first time in a while! And it was a genuine hit too, not like he’d thrown a punch, only to find he missed by a mile, and had swung his fist back, only to find his opponent had moved. He felt really bad about hitting Estel with such a strong attack. “Sorry!”

Estel reeled back, touching her cheek. That had actually hurt! "Nice one!" she called cheerfully before trying to stomp down on Quillan's foot.

If Estel’s stomp hadn’t missed his foot, he would be hopping around on one foot from the pain right now. Luckily it had only hit the tips of his toes! He seemed to be on an attacking streak as he threw another punch that landed, although this one was much softer than his previous punches (although most of them had missed).

Estel retaliated with a poorly-aimed kick. She was having fun - even if she wasn't sure what she was doing, at least there wasn't much pressure.

Nope, Quillan’s luck streak seemed to have ended because his kick missed. After having such a thought, he had to remind himself that all the expert fighters wouldn’t rely on luck in their fights – they relied on their experience and practice. He was also glad that she was practicing with someone he could call a friend because some of his attempts were definitely embarrassing …

HP: 22/30

[Luridel]

Estel laughed, retaliating with an easily-dodged kick. "I have no idea what I'm doing!" she admitted out loud, although she sounded like she was enjoying herself.

”I don’t either!” Quillan said while laughing along with her. His punches had improved greatly, so now it was time to work on his kicks! He threw one in the ghoul’s direction.

Estel laughed, kicking wildly back and missing by a mile. It wasn't even close. "This is fun, though!"

[yylaayl]

”It sure is!” Quillan said while his kick also completely missed. It was going to take forever at this rate.

[Luridel]

She wasn't sure what she was learning, but at least she didn't feel stressed. Smiling, she threw a punch at Quillan - maybe with better accuracy than she had expected.

It had been a while since Estel had landed an attack (sorry Estel!) and Quillan was caught completely off guard by the punch. ”Nice one!” he shouted to her before running up to her and attempting a kick. It had been a really high kick (and it was a miracle that his pants hadn’t split) and instead of hitting Estel, it ended up right next to her head. He realized this and brought his leg down on her shoulder but it was more like a gentle tap with his shoe and he ended up falling over due to loss of balance.

"Whoa!" Estel flinched as Quillan fell down, more from surprise than from the kick actually hurting. "A-are you okay?!" Bending over, she held out a hand to help him up if he wanted.  

[yylaayl]

"I'm okay! Maybe I shouldn't have tried that last one ..." Quillan said as he reached up for Estel's hand. "Do you want to take a break?  

[Luridel]

Estel helped Quillan to his feet and then released his hand, backing up. "Yeah, let's. Mm... what are you training for? Why, I mean?"
