Ninjas and Lancers and Dragons, oh my

[ there are very few things that can break through Judith's cool, but she's very, very protective of her former home. Mt. Temza was not meant to be intruded upon, especially when she knew there were still people who desired the Entelexeia. She'd never once forgotten that Ba'ul was constantly at risk.

And it's why she's fighting so fiercely now, fighting to kill if he persists, where she might otherwise find joy in a good challenge. Her method of fighting isn't fair. She aims to knock her opponent to the side, to leave lasting injuries, to evade and flip and gouge and slash-- but he's fast, feral, and she hasn't stayed unharmed from this encounter. Truth be told, she's bleeding rather heavily down one arm, another injury dripping into one eye from a gash beneath her bangs. ]

... I won't say it again.

[ she pauses to catch her breath. ]

Leave.

[ Sasuke's tactics cannot be called fair either. He fights with no normal method, twisting and using his body in strange ways that somehow almost always strike. Yet even his lithe grace has not kept him unscarred by the battle. He is forced to favor one arm in his own flips, his shoulder gouged, and there is a dark spot bleeding into one thigh of his hakama.

He does not know for certain what she is protecting, but he was told to scout the mountain, and he will not withdraw from an order. ]

Leave I will not.

[ He uses a tree as a spring board to leap for her again, knives flashing out in front of him. ]
