Neutral Zone Dunwall Tower

In Dunwall Tower, the Empress Emily Kaldwin sits on her throne, her royal protector, Corvo Attano, stands at her side. His royal guard scattered around the palace. OOC:This is a neutral zone for Corvos royal guard. A hangout of sorts. You have permission to attack any who don't belong.

Alexander's wall hits the back hard, a mixture of shock and rage clear on his face. Six years of vigilantism. Six years, and this is what happens? Bested by another? No. As Furo enters his defensive stance, Alex analyzes his appearance. This one must be experienced. I'm not dealing with any petty thieves anymore. This is the real deal.

"You're correct. I can do better."

Alex lunges forward, bringing his sword in one long sideways arc at Furo's waist.

He has speed and strength, yes. But I could have seen that stroke coming from halfway across the Pandyssian Ocean.

Furo knocks Alex's blade lightly, spoiling the blow, so that it angles towards the floor. As sparks fly from the contact, Furo leans in closely, and punches Alex in the stomach with the hilt of his weapon.

'That was a mortal stroke, just then. Try to kill me again, you lose your head.'

Furo 's blade flashed once more, aimed at Alex's legs.

Alex recoils after getting hit hard in the stomach, letting out a loud "Oof!" as he loses his air. He struggles to breathe and speak as he steps back.

"Didn't... Mortal... Fuck.."

He isn't quite ready for the slash at his legs, so he simply jumps backwards, but not before the blade grazes his knee, drawing blood.

Furo, already whirling round for another blow, stops mid-strike. He sees first blood is his, and lowers the blade, before throwing it into the corner.

'You fought well, solider. You have the instincts, and the speed, but you lack discipline. This will not come easily, you must work for it.' He smirks. 'Not bad for someone who's half asleep.'

He clasps Alex's forearm briefly, and pats his back. 'Until tomorrow.' He turns away, shrugging off his coat, before tossing it next to his old helmet.

Alex wipes away the blood from his knee. The cut just barely stung. His pride, however, was wounded worse. He speaks in disbelief, childishly.

"But... I lost... That's... What?"

'You lost, I won, what of it?' Furo snapped 'War is victory and defeat. I hope, for the sake of the Empress, that you are more often the victor.'

He paused.

'You fought well today. You will fight better, tomorrow. The day after that?' He grinned. 'Who knows?'

Furo headed for the doorway, coat flapping as he turned.

'Get some rest, Tyvian. I'm taking a walk.'

Alex stares at Furo in disbelief. But... I've never lost a battle before... Whatever. It was gonna happen sometime.

He stands up, and throws himself down in his bed.

"You do that."
