Closing her eyes for a moment to refocus her energy after the somewhat embarassing attempt at attacking Koorittou, Serendice gripped her blade at her side and took a moment to reflect, as well.
'This child is obviously holding back. Why won't he fight me? His agility and speed will keep him from meeting with my blade for a time, but it would be shameful and futile to fight someone who doesn't fight back!'
As Serendice's frustration with Koorittou's playful stance mounted, so did her anger. This was what had gotten her into trouble so many years ago...pride. She slid the sabre back into its sheath and bit her lip in contempt.
In a fit of frustration, Serendice crouched, drew a dagger from her boot and hurled it at Koorittou, who dodged it effortlessly and moved in closer to her. In a flash, Serendice whirled around and flung up her left leg to meet Koorittou's advance. The kick barely grazed Koorittou's cheek, but left him slightly alarmed by her quickness. Serendice spun away from him, drew her sabre, dropped to the ground and slung the blade around toward his legs. He leapt up to avoid the blow and drew his katana resolutely. Serendice smiled, satisfied that he would now truly fight her, not as a woman but as a warrior.
