"I know. I'm making some innuendo, can't you laugh?..." Archon turned to head over to the door and open it. He was already armed, so they could just get underway. Hopefully, they'd have some fun sparring or... Something. Maybe I'll win... Or lose...

*Dantin put on a mock confused expression as he followed.* "Hmm, laugh... laugh... what is this laugh thing you speak of?" *He was being obviously un-serious and didn't care that his expression was lost on Archon's back.*

"It's what happens when I make a reference to the bedroom. Or living room. Or barrack quarters, I guess. You know what I mean," Archon sighed as they headed back up to the fort. He had caught Dantin's sarcasm but metaphorically waved it aside as he tried to prepare his mind for a spar. Dantin wasn't actually helping there.

*Dantin luckily didn't have to bother with preparing his mind for a spar. He was used to fighting and it really didn't bother him that much.* "Yeah, I definantly know what you mean." *It seemed that Archon was trying to... not have fun or anything.* "You seem... worried. You afraid something's gonna happen in the spar or something?"

"What? Afraid something is gonna happen? Well, I don't actually care who wins or loses... Of course, were it a real fight, the loser would be slightly dead... But I've lost enough to not feel bad about it anymore. Just hopeless and dejected. ...For that reason, and putting those feelings on others, it's also hard to win." Archon didn't plan on saying quite that much, but when he was done, the mouse realized that he'd made a valid point. Something about competition just bothered him.

*Dantin thought about that for a couple of seconds, it seemed Archon didn't mind the sparring part as much as the competition part.* "Well, don't think of it as a competition. All we're doing is trying to improve our sword skills through sparring, there is no winner or loser." *Thats the way he thought of it at least, whether he 'won' or 'lost' didn't matter to him as long as he learned something new that would make him a deadlier swordsbeast.*

"Yeah, I try," Archon replied resignedly as they approached the fort. There wasn't much to it for him except winning and losing, with refinement completely out of the picture except as an asset for victory. It didn't help to think this way, but it was how he did it. "Let's just... Spar. OK?"

*Dantin grinned at Archon.* "Well, that's what I plan on doing. Let's just have some fun while we're at it, ok?" *It wasn't much of a request but it seemed that for Archon, it would be.*

"I'll, um, try... Yeah." His words lost almost all their momentum as they progressed. Archon was left staring dumbly at his boots as they passed through the fort gates. You stupid fool! You're supposed to like this! You...

*Dantin put an arm around Archon's shoulder's as the continued on. It seemed Archon was going to have a hard time not taking this little spar too seriously.* "Well, I wouldn't worry about it either way."

"Yeah, sure, whatever." At least they were getting close to the gates. Archon just wanted to get the spar over with and then he could have fun. Apparently, spars were no longer fun to do; they were just... Spars. This is ludicrous! Why is this such a big deal? It's a spar!

OOC: I thought they had already passed through the gates. Unless there are some more gates that I previously didn't know about... which might be the case...
IC: *There wasn't much more Dantin could do in getting Archon to not get all serious about the spar. It seemed he was going to no matter what Dantin did.* "You... don't train much with an actual opponent, do you?" *It least they were getting somewhat nearer.*

OOC: The inner gates of the fort. They're going back in, to the training grounds.
BIC: "Not with one I don't plan to kill," Archon corrected as the gates finally passed over them. He spent far too much time in genuine battles. "It makes it hard to go back to nonlethal sparring, though... Well, we seem to be fighting with lethal weapons, but how long have we been doing that?"

*Dantin raised an eyebrow as they continued on.* "How long have we been doing that, as in using lethal weapons? Um, I dunno about you but with me... pretty much ever since I was able to lift a sword. Or that could have been a rhetorical question which makes my fist sentence kind of... un-needed, huh?"

"Don't you start about being able to lift your sword!" Archon made a beeline to the training grounds, putting his paw on the hilt of his sword as he moved. He'd have to be careful not to trap Dantin's blade, since there was a fair chance it'd break if he did that. "I'll break it in two with these teeth here..."
