Jace jumped back on the balls of two light feet, almost tripping as he misjudged where Alec's blade would land when the other boy feinted.

"Someone's getting sloppy!" Alec crowed, lunging into his parry.

"Not a chance," Jace snorted, his blade hissing as it cut through the air. "You're gonna have to get that wrist action going if you want to get me sloppy."

Alec hesitated just long enough for Jace to catch his sword at the hilt and toss it away across the mats. Jace stepped in close, pressing the point of his weapon to Alec's neck. He smirked.
