As close as they were, Lorelai didn't wait for him to finish speaking before she spun, one hand still on the hilt of her sword, and placed her back directly against his chest. It was a risky move, opening herself up to an attack, but she had to rely on her speed to get her out.
She clenched her free fist and tried to slam her elbow back, into his ribs. It had a surprising amount of force, for a human, and would often be enough to crack bone.
If he were normal.

Drake would take the hit and sighed.
"Hmph... were definitely going to need to work on your core strength a little."
He would say as he wrapped his arm around her body, and then twisting to throw her away from him.

Her eyes flew wide open in surprise at his reaction. She made a little noise as his arms wrapped around her, and landed a bit hard. Even the jarring force, however, was not enough to get her to loosen her grip on her sword.
She shoved herself back up to her feet, and there was a new appreciation in her eyes as she looked at Drake. She was used to being the best, the very best... but this was a new game entirely.
Lorelai gripped her sword with both hands once more and moved the blade so it was across her body in a defensive posture as she contemplated her next move.

Drake would hold his sword out in front of him his right arm hovering in balance or waiting to be used, none would know.
"My turn."
Then at full speed Drake would close the gap between the two and do a full powered downward slash!

Lorelai was shocked by the speed with which Drake moved. It was only instinct that managed to save her: she thrust the sword upwards and lowered her lithe body down, giving her a better stance to receive the hit. She managed to block his attack, filling the room with the sound of metal meeting metal.
She cried out at the pain radiating up her arms, but kept her grip firm. Trying to shove back, she would push up from her power stance in an attempt to get Drake off of her and allow her to retreat a couple of steps.
If she managed to free herself, she would shift forward to slash at him again, aiming for where his shoulder and neck met.

Drake would let her retreat as he too disengaged and took a step back curious what he next move was. When she went for the strike for his neck, he had the thought in his head that, she did want to face someone like him to get used to his fighting style. He hoped she would regret that decision. As he charged forward letting the attack connect so there would be a cut in his skin where blood would trickle out!

Lorelai, oblivious to what she was doing, seemed shocked that the attack connected. However, she didn't stop until her sword met resistance, and she pulled back, the sharpest edge of the blade dragging against whatever it had met. She danced back a couple of steps, just enough to gain momentum, and launched herself forward.
He could have easily dodged her attack, she knew. She had witnessed his speed. She had no reason to believe he hadn't accepted the blow intentionally.
So, instead, she jerked forward in an attempt to also connect with his hip. In her mind, she knew disabling both an arm and a leg left most opponents unable to fight.

Drake would block her attack with his sword this time smiling despite the cut, which Lorelai would now notice was moving! The blood would move and shape another arm and sword made out of blood and bones and it would slash at her! Though at last moment before cutting her it would tap the shoulder of her sword arm if she wasn't fast enough to escape the attack!
Blood Craft: can create weapons and items out of his blood (100% Eng to Atk) Mutated: Drake's blood creations are now reinforced with Bone! (+18 Atk) (Upgraded: Drake can now harden his blood making it stronger and more durable)
(1/28)

She attempted to move, to try and block the attack again, but there was no way for her to outpace Drake. She felt the tap of the tip of the blade on her shoulder, and she was quivering slightly with the implications of it.
Blood and bone. That must be his Qi. She turned to look at him once more, but seemed... almost calculating. She nodded, returning to a defensive posture, her eyes darting over him.
How did you hurt somebody when their Qi allowed them to utilize their own blood? It seemed like her sword would get her into more trouble. Glancing at it, she remembered exactly what it was made out of... and how she hadn't ever really tested it out.
"Hit me," she whispered. Then, her eyes flashed with... was that amusement? "But not hard."

He would raise an eye brow.
"With my fist?"

She shook her head, and turned her attention to the arm and sword made from his own blood. She nodded to it, and slid her feet slightly apart, maintaining a wider stance for the sake of balance.

Drake nodded. "Ok." With that he would manipulate just the blood arm to attack her like before!

Lorelai, now knowing what to expect, moved with her typical speed and precision. She launched forward to meet the swing of the blade with her own, genuinely curious about what it might do. Anti-Qi Blade: +3 Eng, +2 Atk
This sword was specially crafted by [REDACTED] from material's gained from [REDACTED]. Do to the special properties and knowledge that went into it's crafting it now has the ability to Negate any Qi ability (Less than or equal to Lorelai's Eng Stat) as soon as it has been cut by her sword. Qi abilities stronger than her Eng stat are reduced in Dmg |

When her sword collided with the blood armsword some of the blood that her sword connected with dropped the ground but it still remained surprisingly strong. Lorelai might feel a bit discouraged as it may not have felt significant to her, but Drake's eyes were wide and he would back up quickly inspecting the blood arm, and the blood on the floor.
"The fuck did you just do?!"
He asked shocked!

Lorelai held her sword firm and danced back a few steps. She was certain it was not a good idea to openly inform a Meta of the kinds of things the TSI had at their disposal. However, as she glanced up at Drake, her eyes flashed. This was the moment of truth. She had to decide, right then and there, whether or not she could trust him.
She backed away from the arm, maintaining her defensive posture.
"What DID I do?" she asked, not a trace or hint of sarcasm in her voice. She wasn't entirely sure herself, and wanted an explanation.
