Who: Rex, THAT CANIS GUY (Masamune), anyone else who may be interested
Where: Near the lake.
When: Day 83, morning
What: Explooooring.

[It's the morning, Rex woke up early and is busy wandering around exploring because it's fun and because he still feels like he doesn't know this place well enough. That said, he keeps getting turned around anyway, eventually ending up near the lake, his long stick in hand! Yay.

He's crouched near the edge of the lake, looking at the water right now.]

Yeah, then what do you call those ugly rags you're wearing?

*you might notice he's also carrying a stick, which he swings to rest on his shoulder as he talks*

[Rex stands, turning fully to face him, his stick at his side.]

They are the same as yours.

Ha! At least mine aren't some terrible color.

*abruptly though he drops his mocking tone, expression changing to a small anticipatory smirk as he shifts his stance and lowers his stick to point it at Yukimura*

Anyway, there's something I want to know. Now show me what you can do!

*and with no more warning than that, lunges forward, stick swinging at Yukimura*

They're not--

[he gets that much out before he reacts to the charge, making an attempt to bring his own stick up to block the other man's swinging stick, and he manages to do it, two handed, but better than nothing]

What are you doing?

*his aim still isn't the greatest, but it's a notch better than before, and he's making up for it somewhat by pressing the attack to keep it close and personal*

Ha! What's it look like? Now come on, is that the best you can do!

[Rex doesn't answer, and instead does the easiest thing for him to do; that is, shoving against the other man's stick with his own, throwing his whole body weight against it to try to knock him back. The force of two hands should, logically, beat a one-handed hold]

*is forced back! breaks off, quickly stepping back and to the side, only to let that motion flow into another strike from a different angle*

[Rex's stick is only in one hand now but he does block, letting the other stick glance off his own as he tries to jump out of the way, back from the stick-sword]

*his attack blocked, he simply pushes on with another strike, refusing to let up the pressure. though his movements are still a bit awkward and clumsy at times, there's something soothingly familiar about all this*

Hey! Is that all you can do? Come on and fight!

[Rex just keeps swinging his stick up to block each time, sometimes just bare moments before the other stick is poised to hit him, which, he has to admit, is pretty good considering he had only been thinking that the stick was comfortable and familiar in his hand, rather than really knowing how to use it.

Weird. Of course, what he really wants to do is just bodily throw himself at the other man and find a way to tackle him to the ground, or hit him with a fist, or something, but he can't deny that this is totally getting his blood pumping]

Does Canis always attack Vulpecula like this?!

*will keep on pressing his advantage as long as you do nothing but block, be careful you don't get yourself backed into something by accident...*

Ha! Got nothing to do with teams, this is personal, you see?

[You-- what? You... okay, whatever that means. Rex isn't getting backed into anything, he's just trying to figure out how he's supposed to get a hit in when he's apparently using his weapon to just block. Is something missing here?

Not that he would actually know. Instead, have a fist AIMED AT FACE, as soon as he can find some kind of opening, as he blocks another strike and tries to swing his stick against the other man's and force it out of the way]

*and sooner or later, an opening is had! and given that your punch is coming from his blind side, at that, it connects nicely, sending him staggering back a few a few steps. he recovers from the blow quickly, though, and in fact is grinning all the wider*

.....heh! That's more like it!

What do you think you're doing?

*casually resting his stick against his shoulder again*

Seeing if you really were what I remember.

Remember?

Of course! I'm the head of Oshu, the One-Eyed Dragon Date Masamune, and you're my opponent.

Head of Oshu, One Eyed Dragon Date Masamune?

Isn't that a long name? Why am I your opponent? What are you talking about?

Heh! My name's Date Masamune. I don't remember the rest, but you didn't put up a bad fight.

Date... Masamune. Are you saying then that you know me?

That's what I said.

Is that all you're going to say?

*shrugs*

Dunno, you want another match or something?

Fight again?

Sure. You're not too bad, after all.
