The razor tip of the blade slicing through the air as the tests were done. Should it find it's mark however Averie would find that the blade did not slice through her skin or clothing, but would just jab into her like it had been made of wood.

Well, if you were gonna jump in with both feet, you took the landing and...lived to tell the tale, apparently. The blade was blunt, not at all what she expected. She though to turn into a flesh kabob, but instead, the sword just knocked into her like one of her brothers with their obnoxious pointy fingers before she pinned them. "Point taken." Again with the raised brow at the other girl. This was new.

She said as she drew the blade black with a wide smile. "If you dedicate yourself you could be pretty good in a few years!" Which was pretty exciting she thought. The girl had good reflexes, if poor instincts. Back to Top   Averie Gilmen Student Bored now.

Averie flipped a braid over one shoulder with a shrug, though she didn't elaborate on what she was answering specifically. Of course she wasn't shit right out the gate. She wasn't plannning on years of dedication to an obsolete weapon, however. If Polly could make it work for her, then good for her, but Averie could think of better ways to spend her time or dedication on. "So what else can you do?"

She smirked, the motion a little twitch at the edge of her lips. "Yes, besides that and beating up chunks of metal."

She'd place a finger against the corner of her lips as she looked up in thought. "Well there is one thing..." She let her words trail off so the other girl could express interest or decide she didn't care. Back to Top   Averie Gilmen Student Bored now.

It's that I don't give it all away on the first date." She'd say with a laugh and wink as she sheathed her sword and extended her hand to have her other blade returned to her. "It's boring to just have it all out there." Back to Top   Averie Gilmen Student Bored now.

The response ears a wicked grin and a laugh from Averie. Even with being an endless ball of sunshine, she was alright. She handed over the blade with a click of her tongue. "Gotta say, you're a lot more sunshine than I see with other people at Paradigm." It's an assumption, sure, but one that Averie was betting pretty heavily on.

And good luck to the stuff she's around. Some of the sarcasm faded, though not completely. She wasn't sure if the girl came out here hoping for the best, or if she just took the blades everywhere. Like a security blanket.

Quickly trying to keep her composure. "That's what training is for. So you don't need luck." But it was sweet all the same! "What's your name anyways? I'm Polly!"

Not that she's going to forget the giggle-snort anytime soon. "I meant the people you'll be around, but sure. Whatever works." She'll turn her attention back to Polly as the girl introduces herself and nod. "Name's Averie."

It does sound like something she'd expect the other girl to say, though. And it looked like she was Paradigm; 'us' didn't seem to apply to some other group at the moment. "Sure, same." Vague answers are vague, though she apparently meant it to cover what Polly said in general. "Sure am, though it sounds like I missed the big bang." Freaking Paradigm not standing up to a human wrecking ball.

Averie nodded, satisfied with the response and amused by the tone. Her smirk returned as she started walking out of the alley. If it could be knocked down, then it would be rebuilt. Again. She could work with that.

That's why there was no time to sit around sulking. Things would pick up again and when it did, Polly didn't plan to miss out! Giving Averie's back a small two fingered salute Polly would return her attention to the fridge and lunge forward with a strike in the same fluid motion as she drew the sword. She wasn't finished yet. Back to Top   Reply Share Thread Facebook Twitter Tumblr LinkedIn MySpace Email Go to Previous Thread Next Thread Please make a selection first
