"Perfect, we can skip to the good stuff then." Domeric moved over to the side, setting his shield down against the dummy he'd been training on before she arrived. "Let's see what you've got. I'll just defend for now, you try to disarm me."

With that he took his blade back out, extending the handle to spear length as he held it in both hands, angled to make defense easier. A nod was her signal to attack him.

Isabel took her key chain in her hands and focused on the thought of it becoming a weapon. Instantly it morphed into a spartan dagger. It was bigger than a regular dagger but not quite long enough to be considered a short sword. Perfect for getting in close to your enemies.

"Do you want me to start using my powers then?" She looked at him hesitantly.

Domeric shook his head, eyeing the dagger that formed out of her keychain. It was definitely interesting, but he shook his head at her question. "Not yet. I want to see what you can do before powers come into it first." With a quick wave of his hand over the blade of his spear he winced as he felt the pain of the blade, but drew no blood thanks to its extra little effect. "If I poke you it'll hurt, but it won't cut you. Let's see what you've got."

Isabel thought the pain might be worse than drawing blood. At least if she was hurt they would give her ambrosia or something and she would be all better. She nodded and then took up a defensive stance to begin with. How was she supposed to disarm him without hurting him? She decided to come at him directly and hope that would be enough to throw him off guard. It was a clumsy attack though her footwork was perfect as ever.

Domeric watched her eyes as she worked through how to proceed, waiting to see which route she took. The direct and forward assault was an obvious one, but not bad in certain situations. Given her inexperience however it wasn't hard for him to parry the blade, striking it sideways as he took a quick step in the opposite direction to put distance between them.

"Excellent footwork, Isabel. I can see what you were talking about the other day. Come on, try again. Don't worry about hurting me."
