Prove it!

You steady yourself, bringing your sword into both hands and taking on your default stance, circling around the Elf slowly while she watches you, both of you waiting for a good moment.. Without much warning the Elf moves in on you, swinging at your side. You manage to block her attack, but the power behind it is a bit staggering.. You brace yourself, backing away slightly before moving in with your own attack.

The Elf parries your blade, knocking it aside and bringing her armored boot into your stomach lightly, definitely not trying to hurt you too bad.. You stumble back, falling into the tall grass, which luckily cushions your landing. You push the grass out of the way, only to find the Elf standing over you, her blade poised at your chest.

You sigh, letting your head fall back to the ground, looking up to the Elf as she leans down a bit. "You could definitely, DEFINITELY, use some work.." she sheathes her weapon, then offers you a hand, which you accept, getting hauled up rather effortlessly by her. The Elf looks at you again, just thinking you over.. "Eh, I could help you with it, I suppose.." she turns her back, waving her hand "that, and I could use a pack mule.." she looks back, grinning at your reaction. "I'm Faelyn, by the way." she turns back to you, offering her hand again, looking for a shake this time.
