OoC: Try re-reading the bio. The dragon is a bracelet around her wrist, looking like an ivory carving, but you probably won't even see Valron in action in this fight. No one in the BA has as a matter of fact. No insult intended, it's just that the summoner's code prohibits her from allowing her summon to fight directly in a battle, unless it's against another summon. That doesn't mean she doesn't have plenty of tricks up her sleeve, though.
Okay, here we go.
BiC: She wasn't puzzled by the concept of a duel, or practice battle. Rather, she was interested in the strange reptile's reaction to Valron. Her summon was merely posing as a bracelet, which he did, unless she released him to act otherwise. It was safer that way, for everyone. This Drago seemed intrigued by the shape of her choice in jewelry, most likely wondering if there was any significance to it. Well, he didn't know her nearly well enough to be privy to that sort of information.
"Let's see what you can do!" Drago roared, as he leaped at her.
Aurora smiled serenely as the dragon charged her.
Ah, inexperience., she thought, dropping to a defensive posture. She watched a victorious glint come to the dragon's eyes as she seemed to steel herself for his attack. But, instead of meeting his attack, her defense melted before him. She once again caught his descending sword arm, as she stepped under his incoming assault in a wide, low horse stance. The summoner then caught his right leg at the knee with her other hand. Driving upward, she drove her shoulders into the dragon's stomach, sending him flying up and over her head and into a nearby tree. A fireman's carry throw, simple, effective against someone who moves in high and way too fast, but not something she'd try on the same person twice in a row. Far too flamboyant a move to repeat. He seemed to be planted firmly there, facing her, head down, for a brief, comical second, before sliding to the ground.
"Never charge an opponent, Drago," she pointed out as the dragon righted himself, "especially one who's abilities are unfamiliar to you."
The young dragon didn't seem to be listening much, however as he charged at her once more. This time, he used a slashing attack, bringing his sword in a horizontal arc aimed at her seemingly unprotected flank. The woman stepped into his attack once more, now turning with the swing of his sword arm. Now, her back was to his stomach, and a simple tug to help the attack along, coupled with a sweep of her right leg, sent the big fellow spinning feet over head to the ground again. A sweeping-hip throw, good against a circular type of attack. She offered Drago a hand up. "I told you not to charge," she repeated good-naturedly.
OoC: I'm curious about Drago's character. So, I'm leaving the next move to you. Will Drago accept the hand up, and/or the advice, or will he start losing his temper? Aurora's a teacher at heart, so she's bound to offer some constructive criticism. But, how's Drago at taking a little friendly instruction? :cool:
