Carly had only used one blade to block and was raising the second now to aim at his shoulder. If she hits it'll slash my shoulder... Jayme didn't want that. He didn't want an injury, but he had already agreed to this match, and he wasn't going to back down now. Still, if it injured his shoulder, there was a chance it would harm his arm's ability to function after and even further into the future. Jayme didn't want that. A sudden rush of adrenaline kicked in yet again, and as Carly made to slash, a hand released itself from Jayme's consistently blocked blade and suddenly two fingers compressed around the blade just as it came down. For a moment time all but froze for Jayme. Hold it...hold it... he mentally willed not wanting the blade to slide farther down and possibly tear at the small membranes between his fingers. He had managed to stop the blade, but now what? Shove it back... came the consistent thought, and despite himself, Jayme compressed the blade between his two fingers that much harder before making to thrust his arm forwards effectively thrusting the blade up and back in turn. If Carly's hand and arm didn't move effectively with the blade, she would probably find it hard to hold on to at that particular moment. Breathe, Jayme... don't let her intimidate you... Despite the fact that Jayme knew they were his own mental words, Jay could all but hear them in Miguel's calm voice. It was somehow soothing then and there. That was right, he could do this: all he needed to do was keep focus. [/scrolly]

Still, she wasn't going to give up and though it wasn't her intention to harm Jay she wasn't going to give him any quarter either. Leaning against the blade, Carly tried to force the blade forward to remove the deadlock they were now in. However it seemed Jay had other plans when he thrust the blade away effectively wrenching it out of her hand in the process and making her step back as a result. Jumping back a ways, Carly ignored her blade lying on the ground now and readjusted her grip so that she was now holding her single blade with both hands. "You're good..."Carly commented, not even breathing heavily despite the adrenaline coursing through her veins. She Jay little time to think however before she spun and aimed to hit his shoulder again. So what if she was fighting with a single blade now, Carly was just as good with one blade as she was with two.[/scrolly]

This was what he had been training to do, and the fact that he could actually do it in an actual battle against someone that wasn't obviously lowering himself like Miguel seemed to do... Jayme had no words to describe how happy that made him. Carly's compliment also served to pet the pink haired boy's feathers a little. He could do this! The battle would continue for many minutes after that. At some point Jayme had lost tack, but as time went on, he did become aware of some form of exhaustion. Sure he had trained for long periods but keeping up a battle for long periods was completely different. At some point, Jayme came back to himself finding that he was all but swinging his blade without conscious effort. How long had it been? He didn't know. Would he win? He didn't know. All he knew was that he was going to keep going until something completely changed in him. At last the more defining moment came, and as he had made to block a strike, Jayme found the blade slip from his hand and go flying through the air backwards before lodging itself in a tree. For e brief moment, Jayme froze finding that he had lost. Pink eyes stared at Carly for a moment before Jayme physically relaxed. "Yeah but you were better..." he finally replied to the compliment that had been given too long ago now. [/scrolly]

She couldn't remember the last time she had this much fun during a sparring match. True to her word she wasn't holding back one bit but after a while Carly was starting to get tired. If something didn't change soon she didn't know if she could keep this up. In one last desperate attempt, Carly once again attacked Jay. When his blade flew backwards, Carly stopped her motion immediately and stared at him, unable to believe she had actually won. After a few moments Carly smiled and sheethed her sword, relaxing and leaning against a nearby tree. At Jay's words, Carly laughed softly and shook her head,"I've had more practice hun', don't worry about it. You're good yourself, I almost didn't think that I would be able to beat ya,"she replied back easily in a light voice,"Hey you did manage to disarm me, that's not that easy,"she continued before taking a deep breath and exhaling. "That was fun though, I haven't had a good sparring match like that in ages. You're good Jay, really...keep that up and you may just be able to beat me next time. I could give ya my cell number or something if you'd like,"Carly suggested, still making no effort to move from her place against the tree.[/scrolly]

Pulling it out with one quick motion, Jayme turned around again slowly and leaned against that particular tree as Carly spoke. "Heh," was the brief reply that was given back before a wider smile came to Jay. "It was really hard..." he laughed a bit at the comment on disarming. As Carly continued on, Jayme blinked surprised. "Really? That would be awesome," he replied leaning off the tree and fishing into his pocket before his own phone. Waiting for her to call out the number, Jayme followed whatever was said. It was only then that the pink haired boy realized just how much time he had spent. He had better continue looking around and maybe head back to the castle... or call Miguel first... Yeah... "Ah, time got away from me... I have to head out.." he sighed after a moment looking back at Carly with an earnest expression. [/scrolly]

"Well it was also the first time you've fought against something with a real blade. Ya did well for your first time hun',"Carly replied easily before smirking as he said he would like her number. Waiting until Jay pulled out his cell, Carly gave him her number before finally standing up fully and picking up her fallen sword only a short distance away. When Jay said that he had to get going, Carly nodded and sheathed her sword,"That's fine Jay, I should probably head back myself. Give me a call whenever you think you can best me k? That or text, doesn't matter to me~. I can always find the time to best you again, maybe next time you can find yourself a real sword,"she replied easily before holding out her hand for him to shake. "It was nice meeting ya Jay. Maybe we can do this again sometime, it was fun."[/scrolly]
