"Very well."
He'd turn to one of his advisors and would give them a small bow.
"I'll be closing court for a short break. I will return shortly. Handle what you can, and what you can not I will see too personally when I am finished."
With a trade deal on the line, his advisor could hardly argue. They needed it.
Blake would lead her out the back to a walled-off courtyard that he used to train with Bailey or his knights.
"Would you like to use your proper blade or a wooden one?"

Allison would bow to the advisor with a murmured thanks and farewell, following Blake out to the courtyard. There were signs of a private area that was clearly used for training and other physical tests; it was safe to assume that was where they would go. Sure enough, the first offer was made, and Ali knew enough of what she wanted to know her answer.
"Wooden blades, please." She knew of his reputation enough from even a cursory glance through Cabal's records. The man had titles to his name and a reputation for not holding back, sending more than one to the infirmary even with Cabals' protections. She had no desire to be that thoroughly injured if she intended to make it back to Cabal in relatively good health and time.

He nodded accepting her choice.
"Would you like to use your magic and me my abilities or purely swords?"

She may have chosen wooden blades, but she wanted to see just what he could do, and how he measured up. Taking away a sharp edge didn't mean she wanted the rest dulled, too.
"I'm fine with using our abilities."

He nodded again and motioned for her to choose her blade of choice. She would find most were katanas and longswords or two-handed weapons. However, there were a few foils with a plastic tip used for training there as well, and a couple of training rapiers as well.
Blake would choose a wooden Katana for his weapon of choice.

Ali made note of what Blake chose only after looking over the weapons they had available. Thankfully, she was able to retrieve one of the training rapiers for herself, her fingers curling around the grip with ease, the blade a comfortable fit as she stood the ready.

He'd walk to the center of the training yard and letting her pick at her leisure.
"Ready when you are."

Ali would step into the center of the yard shortly after Blake , mentally measuring her odds. They were in his favor, of course: his home, his experience, her wearing a skirt. She could have chosen not to, of course, but she hadn't expected it to be right away and, in truth, a battle could take place when she decided to go walking down the streets of Cabal, or Ayatlan, or wherever she happened to be at the time.
"I'm ready."

"Then come at me. Hold nothing back."
He had no fear of her. It was time to see what a battlemage could do.

"Don't worry, I will." With the last word, she was already off, charging at him as she drew energy into herself from the world around her, hair going frost white, reflecting a faint glow from the back of her neck. The energy seemed to surge from within out into her attack as she would feint to the right, throwing out an energy chain to try and keep him off balance. She wanted to keep the distance short enough to give him trouble.
"Raztal!" She followed it up with a strb of her blade towards his midsection!
"Kek!"

Blake just kind of shook his leg as the binding from her spell shattered off of him. The living Qi crystals of his gauntlets moving to form a barrier over his chest blocking her blade which would be unable to pierce it all while Blake just stared her down with a blank expression.

If she can.

It was humiliating, to say the least. He was looking at her like she was a fly not even worth swatting, and normally, it was her strongest attack. Her cheeks flushed slightly as she drew in a breath. Normally, she could knock people around with it - or nearly everyone, with an exception. She could make it feel it. Now se just looked like a kitten batting a paw against it's reflection.
She didn't scratch him.
"Fine!" Her anger bubbled at the surface, determined to make him take notice, drawing in deep.
"Kek!" Sh could feel the energy pulsing through her, felt as though she could measure his strength more accurately, and act on it as she drew her blade in, slamming it into his side. He wanted her to show him what a battle mage could do? She would.

The power inside of her surged and his eyes flicked to the side, following her movements easily. There was a surge of power and the blade was going to strike true. The crystals reacted out of instinct, forming as they always did in front of the attack. The crystals shattered from the force of her blow, the strength far and above what she'd shown before. However, she'd find her blade being stopped by the invisible shield his body mutations have been able to conjure up. However only briefly and once before a rest. But he was intact still.
"Better."
And with that the air would be filled with the sickening snapping of bones and ripping of fabric as his arm visibly bulged violently outward, his muscles twisting and new thick tendons the size of rope pulsed across his flesh before flattening and hardening. His eyes taking on a far more dangerous gleam as he rushed at her. Slashing his wooden blade for her torso as he worked to move past her with the strike so that he'd be looking away from her. But it was the type of attack that if it had been with the sharp edge of a real blade would be intended to send her guts spilling to the ground.

There was a sense of satisfaction as the crystal sheild shattered, shimmering in teh air around them as her attack landed true before going up against an invisble barrier that stopped her attack from being complete. The satisfaction was short lived, however, as he sprung into action, showing how he had earned his titles as the warrior-king burst into action like a demon from legend, his arm bursting and reshaping itself as his body glowed from an unknown power. Like a living surge, he swept past her, the wooden blade striking flesh and bone and organ before she even realized it. The pain burst a moment later, ripping through her body like a burning tidal wave as she understood what that attack could have been. The redhead dropped to her knees, already feeling the brusing start to form as she gasped for air, dropping to her hands and knees a moment later. Then, after a second, she collapsed to the ground as her limbs gave out, but the mage was also laughing. "So that is the power of 'No Brakes Blake," king of Aurora." The laughter died down to a week chuckle as she tried to force herself up instead of being a useless heap. There was no doubt who had already won.
She had a long, long way to go to improve.
"Worth it."

He'd let her lay on the ground as he put his sword away before moving back to her to squat in front of her if she was still on the ground.
"Good. It was a powerful blow."
He was speaking of her attack that broke his crystals.
