Lesson 2 - Awareness
"All right darling ready to start?"
They had relocated to the deck of the Roger and Killian had moved enough of the crates to create a sparing space for them.
"Yep all set!" As she pulled the sword from her scabbard narrowly missing her instructor.
"Second lesson lass, learning to remove the scabbard without decapitating anyone!"
Emma flushed in embarrassment, she hadn't realized he was so close behind her.
"Well if this were a real fight I'd have won right?"
"Touche lass. Too right, you know what its not removing the sword, so much as awareness of your weapon and your surroundings. As I've said the sword is an extension, an attachment if you will. Make sure you are aware of where it is at all times and the space between you and your opponent."
"Right be aware, keep your guard up right?"
"Top of the class you are love."
Emma blushed again, this time with a smile gracing her features.
"Now, my love, show me your stance."
"Huh? Your what?"
"What?"
"You called me 'my love,' that's a new one"
"Ah yes, well… Picked up on that did you?"
"You did tell me to be aware."
