It's Time to Duel

[nightskysword]

Who: Signum, Garviel, and any spectators for the peanut gallery
What: A friendlier battle
When: During Summer Court
Where: On a list amidst the festivities happening in town

Signum hadn't been back to the capital since the previous Court - thinking back, it had been an eventful one. Meeting Shamal, having her first face-to-face encounter with Berserker, and that whole bloody coup that had come close to starting a war. Still, the parts she had actually been involved in she could almost look back on fondly, and coming here again with Hayate before her courses started at Onylith was certainly a pleasant experience. Especially since the theme for summer seemed to be much, much more sensible than the one for spring.

After some time wandering around enjoying the spectacle of people fighting and competing in various sports (and making sure Hayate stays shaded and hydrated in this heat), Signum spots someone she knows.

"Ah, if it isn't the dictator of Rome," she said, tone much more familiar than the title as she greeted Garviel near a large, open park that was playing host to one of the sports tournaments.

Garviel pauses, having been observing a Ferinus Aer demonstration match. He looks at her, stone-faced for a moment, and then a slow, and somewhat secret smile spreads over his craggy visage.

"Signum. I have heard tell that you and Mamzel Yagami will soon be taking up residence in Onylith?"

[Well, this looks exciting. Lancer is just gonna stand here and watch the fight and/or drool at Signum.]

[gstringwitch]

[ Oh. Now this should be fun to watch. Not that I-No is particularly good at just watching. ]

Cheating on me already? I'm appalled.

"Ah, ah."

Levin nods his head in approval as they spar. "In terms of looks, a stellar showing from the secretive Signum. Fighting technique, unparalleled. Personality, sharp, but even the keenest of blades will dull after wear. Aaand... well, no need to be as lewd as to mention assets in a situation like this.

"Wonder if I can get my hands on something she wrote..."

This would all be much less awkward if Levin wasn't playing one of Dagaria's most well-known love songs as loudly as possibly. (It was called the Cicada Lovers and it was about a man who waited 17 years underground for his lover only to die a week later.)
