The wooden weapon Adelle had expected Coeus as an adult to wield with ease struggled to move and meet her own basic strike. To her surprise Adelle struck him flat in the chest, knocking the air from him. Coeus stumbled a couple steps back, Adelle looking with some curiosity between her blade and his chest. Looked like she was a lot stronger than she had thought she was. She watched him struggle with the sword for a few moments, unsure of what to do. He was older, after all, and should be the one to know what was needed.
A leap sent him towards the young warrior. Immediately Adelle twisted to the side. She might not be the quickest of warriors, but her movements did have a form of grace to them. His stance was completely unbalanced, even worse than her own when she had first started, a stranger to two legs. It was easy to reach out with her blade, tapping him on the back to completely knock his balance off, bemused by his clumsiness.
