🕑 Added 2022-11-24 22:50:10 +0000 UTCAs promised, another preview today! This one's on the fun side of things ✨
“You realize it’ll be over once I catch you?”
“If you catch me,” $rname replies, $rtheir smile like the curve of a bow, aiming at $aname in challenge. “Try your best, Royal Protector; the Crown is watching.”
$aname huffs a laugh as $athey rolls $atheir shoulders, the stance of $atheir feet widening with one a step behind the other, knees bent, as if $athey’s intending on rushing $rname down as soon as the sparring begins. “The same to you, $rtitle Sorcerer.”
“I’m not concerned.” While $rname holds $aname’s gaze, $rtheir right hand moves conspicuously to hover near a small pouch tied to a slim chain around $rtheir waist. “In fact, I look forward to showing the Crown exactly why I am $their Sorcerer. You’ll have to forgive me for using your imminent humiliation to demonstrate.”
“The only thing you’re demonstrating is how much you like the sound of your own voice,” $aname drawls, $atheir tone unimpressed, though the smile on $atheir face betrays $atheir enjoyment. “Even $xname doesn’t talk this much before a fight!”
“At a loss for words already, $aname?” $rname fires back. “Defeated in the mind before we’ve even begun, I see.”
You interrupt before $aname can retort. As amusing as this is to watch, you do have a schedule to maintain.
“Are you two going to banter all day or will I get to see some fighting before the sun goes down?” you call out, a teasing remark that makes $aname grin.
“We await your signal, Your Imperial Majesty.”
$rname meanwhile has fallen silent, a look of concentration replacing the humor on $rtheir face as $rthey and $aname watch each other like hawks.
You pause for a moment, before declaring: “Begin!”
