Huh. It must have been the lingering thought of Fire's singing that had distracted me. I retrieved my scimitar from the ground carefully, watching her as I did so. She wasn't defending herself yet, so I grabbed it and attacked. She was ready though. She blocked and I skipped back; we circled each other.
'You didn't think it would be that easy, did you?' she said, grinning at me. I smiled and lunged again. This time, she was ever so slightly off-guard. She only blocked at the last minute, and so didn't have time to block my next blow. With a clatter, one of her katanas fell to the ground as I dislodged it from her hand.
Fire grinned at me. 'I guess that was a fluke,' she said. I laughed, one of the few times this week. And then before I could reply, Patch's angry shouting reached my ears.
