[ She goes to block it but this time doesn't seem to have the right arc for it. She still blocks, but at an angle where it would be very easy to just slide his sword up and hurt her, anyway. How to get sword from left to right at good angle??? ]
[ It's easier to block the same move twice! Yeah! Her movements are obviously still clumsy and unpracticed, but at least she knows where she's trying to get to... ]

He'll do a slow swing to her left.]

I believe I was around 1300? It may have ben a century or two before, but certainly not later than that.

Date: 2019-07-03 03:39 am (UTC)[ She blocks it again, and this time the force behind it is appropriate since he's moving faster! Nice. ]
So isn't that a long time to go without needing to fight?

Date: 2019-07-03 03:44 am (UTC)It's about the same as saying I was 13.
[And an attack to the left.]
I didn't strike out on my own until I could properly fight.

Does that mean you act 12 for like a hundred years before you turn basically-13?

One more medium paced attack to her left.]

Watch where you're opponent's blade is going to come from.
