Chapter 15 - 15

Varys goes up to Hannah. "Are you ready? Still time to back out if you want."

Hannah grins. "Oh, I'm ready."

Varys doesn't even bother to take the defensive stance Sir Robert taught you; instead, he charges forward and swings. Hannah ducks underneath his blow, then grabs his sword hand with her off hand and starts hitting him repeatedly in the face with the stick. She jumps back before he can react. Varys gets into a defensive stance this time. Hannah puts her off hand behind her. He moves forward, slashing with his stick. As Hannah parries or dodges all of his attacks, he grows frustrated and does an overhead strike with the stick. She sidesteps, tripping him slightly, then stabs him in the back with her stick.

"That's two points for me, and none for you," quips Hannah.

Varys gets up, having fallen after his attempted strike. He notices the wooden stick he held is now broken. Hannah notices as well, drops hers, throws him a shepherd's crook, and grabs one of her own.
