"Pick up the sword; I'm ready to warm up."
Blake flickered his eyes, swinging his sword a couple of times. The air whistled with each strike.

"What's wrong...? You're usually not this passive."

"So you've got company."

Not exactly extremely pretty, but pretty enough. At least, she seemed too good for him. She seemed to be talking with a man wearing a mask and hat. A relative perhaps?
