[[ psl's, memes, overflow and AU bullshit, you wanna bother Takame as a WoL or a Non-WoL, this is the place to do it so come at me with your starters or yell at me to get off my lazy ass. i'll match styles.]]
[True enough, he isn't unfamiliar with broadsword fighters considering he had a hand in training Zhian. Still, something about Papayako's style felt different from her's.
The swing was easily predictable and parried, but less so that it would have been had Papayako's grip been weak. It took Takame some effort to parry, he needed to be aware of how he managed his own weight to not be overwhelmed by the difference in scale. It was enough to disrupt his stance slightly.]
... Better. [Said flatly, but not unimpressed as before. He straightened his position again.] Try again. [He's expecting for a theoretical hit to land this time.]
[Well, O'Zhian's style probably aims for proper sword-fighting, not "grievous bodily harm with little regard to personal well-being." Self-preservation is a little low on the Dark Knight priority list in the grand scheme of things, maybe. He's leaving himself open in places he really shouldn't.
He grunts with effort as he swings again. A little harder, a little faster... Papayako's never been a lazy student. After his swing he shifts back and quickly tries to re-assume a defensive position, just in case Takame counters.]
