So. I think I've been 'taking it easy' for long enough. If this thing were going to crop back up and bite me in the ass it would have done it already by now.

Pretty badass looking scar, though.

Anyway. Who's up for a sparring match?

I think you should introduce yourself properly before making that kind of invitation. For the new arrivals.

You know: hello, I am The Iron Bull, and I'm occasionally mistaken for one of the Frostbacks.

[qunari]

Hey.

Only one?

[byblow]

Maybe two or three on a foggy night, with the horns.

[qunari]

Depends on how the moon sits. And how much light your opponent has on their side. There's some trick-work with the fog that gets some pretty nice results.

[sandsofhell]

...I'll take you on.

[qunari]

Good man.

Got a preference for style?

[sandsofhell]

Hand-to-hand, no weapons.

[Brave soul is brave.]

[qunari]

Old-fashioned, eh? I like it.

Got anything we should avoid? This is for practice, not trying to put anyone out of commission.

[extramural]

I imagine that is often when the universe decides it will, in fact, bite back.

[qunari]

Yeah, well. I know exactly where the universe can bite me.

[extramural]

It may bite hard.

[qunari]

I bite back.

[apostasia]

Well, if you're feeling better. ( drolly. better or worse than drolly suggesting they spar while bull was still convalescing, so martel could win? hard to say.

he hadn't been serious. like, a solid 99% not serious. wouldn't have been sporting, couldn't take pride in it. )

[qunari]

Still could have taken you. Just so you know.

[apostasia]

On your best day I still might have you, friend.

( amiably. there is a camaraderie about it that martel has - sort of missed, for all he doesn't presume on bull past hitting each other and drinking occasionally. )

[qunari]

Bigger boys than you have tried.

[ Shittalking and drinking is where it's at, really. ]

[justice_is_blond]

As I've no desire to be pummeled into a pulp, I'm up for sitting off to the side and healing whomever takes you up on the match.

[qunari]

Good man. Though you're not bad in a fight. I've seen your moves.

[justice_is_blond]

I'll take the compliment, and also take my skin being intact. I've seen your moves as well, and I like not being in pain.

[qunari]

You say that. Not sure I buy it.

[degenere]

Is it a bite scar?

[qunari]

Nah. Probably for the best, though. Don't really want to think about what demons keep between their teeth, you know?

[degenere]

The splintered bones and stringy viscera of its last victim, no doubt. Hygiene does not seem a very pressing concern for a demon.

It's just that you said nothing had cropped up to bite you. In the ass. A statement which leaves a lot to the imagination of your injury, my friend.

[faithstarved]

I'm always looking for someone who can take me in a fight. What's your poison?

[qunari]

I like to be flexible. Prefer two-handed weapons myself, but I'm willing to take disadvantage to start.

[ It's usually more sporting that way. ]
