It's been a long time since Roxas has put much thought into improving his skills. Back in the Organization, he was fighting and training constantly, but during his year and a half in Vatheon, he thinks he spent more time trying to talk people out of fights than actually getting into them. It was a relief, not to need any of that most of the time.

He doesn't think he's lost much of his edge, and so far the monsters he's encountered on the Skyway haven't been that tough, but fighting is now a far cry from 'unnecessary.' He'd rather be at his best.

Which is why he can be found today sparring with his Samurai Nobody in the field near the apartments. He used to train with them a long time ago. It seems like a good place to start.

It's a good thing the swing is a blind one, at least for Saix. The sloppiness of it lets him dodge, even if that blade is far too close for comfort. He could call back Lunatic at any moment, but he keeps hand to hand for now and tries to make a strike for the back of Roxas' hand.

If he can disarm him, Saix is certain he'll have the advantage for just a moment. He can't go into this battle like he's done the last time, after all, so he's looking into new tactics.

The strike to his hand doesn't make him lose his grip, but it does throw off his next attack, the swing losing its force.

Roxas glances towards Saix's claymore, wondering why he's not taking it up again, but presses in for another strike. As long as he's not between Saix and his weapon, he doesn't think it's something to worry about.

it all comes back to roxas' face, there isn't a fixation i swear

[croceamors]

What a shame. Saix barely spends a second on the failure, only long enough to acknowledge it, because there's the more pressing matter of Roxas' next attack. He blocks it with his forearm, grimacing. The next attack he's not so willing to take; he dodges it with a hasty sidestep. His hand makes a jerking motion towards Roxas' face, but not to punch him. Instead, Lunatic appears in his hand again, the pommel coming right at Roxas.

you and Vanibutt man =|

Roxas ducks hurriedly, not eager to have something else smashing into his nose, but he can feel the pommel brushing through his hair.

While he's down, he swings Oblivion around in a hooking motion, so that pulling it towards him will slam the head of the blade into the back of Saix's knee. Let's see if we can bring you down.

"you have a smashable face" isn't a good compliment is it...

[croceamors]

Bring down successful- Saix's leg crumples beneath him. It leaves him off balance for a moment, but the second he regains it he's sweeping his claymore towards Roxas. He doesn't want to leave an opening exposed for too long.

it's not really a compliment at all

[coolerthansora]

It wasn't as much of an opening as he'd been hoping for. The next swing of his keyblade still meets with Saix's claymore instead of striking the other Nobody. He pushes forward, testing to see how steady Saix is on his feet already.
