lol! I can transfer us into full sparring mode XD
Even though the Knight had never actually sparred with anyone, he had come to his own conclusions about how today would go. They were using their wooden blades to decrease any risk of serious injury, and since this wasn't an actual fight, they would both be holding back in their strength and skill a little while they felt one another out. Haven had no qualms or reservations about the fact that Anann was female. This wasn't about gender roles. They were both warriors and they both wanted to stay in shape and make themselves better. Plus, she was even taller than him.
She blocked his strike, as he had expected her to. Haven hadn't made any effort to be sneaky or deceptive in his attack. This was rudimentary exercise, after all. Still, he was instantly witness to the pros of her smaller, lighter weapon. She was able to counter his attack much more quickly than he would have been able to maneuver his longsword. Still, he was able to easily move his body out of the way and swing his sword down at the back of her calves.
