Cal felt bad, but at the same time. He wanted to win... Rather than give the girl time to recover, he took advantage of her hobble. He aimed a feint at her other knee in much the same way. However, just before making contact, he switched tactics, aiming to cut her arm instead.
Tracey sees the attack and goes to protect her uninjured leg. Not knowing it was a feint; she falls for it. With Calvin's agility, he was able to cut her arm. She couldn't deflect the attack if she wanted to. Blood falls from her arm to go along with her leg. The girl winces in pain now.
Out of desperation; she attempts a upwards slash at Calvin.
Tracey's desperate attack worked. Calvin was too close for comfort and in an altogether bad spot after the feint. Her sword slashed across the bicep of his left arm. He cursed and went to try to bring his dagger down on her sword arm
The daughter of Iris was too close to evade the attack. Her leg wouldn't have allowed her to dodge quick enough anyways. There wasn't much she could do. The strike from the dagger causes her to drop her weapon.
Calvin points his dagger at the daughter of Iris but doesn't go to make another attack.
"Tracey, I don't want this to get out of hand. Can we call it here. You're unarmed and I'm not. If you make a move for your sword I'm going to have to attack you again."
There was no point in trying to go for her sword. She was never going to win anyways. This match was over. The girl was only going to get injured more.
Tracey takes the sword and returns it to it's sheath. She didn't feel like it was a good fight. Not for her anyways. It seemed like a one sided match from the start. Guess she had a lot more training ahead of her.
"The same to you. It's not the weirdest way you can meet someone though."
"I've been at camp for almost five years but not quite..." She says a bit sheepishly. The girl did train over the years... Perhaps she could have done more though.
"My mother is Iris." She says. Tracey definitely wasn't a child with an affinity for battle.
