The red-haired girl didn't say anything to his remark she just simply gave Askran a once over and rolled her eyes. It was so easy to get to him, it was actually pretty funny. She studied him as he got into his readied position, he had mentioned he was trained in magic, now that would have been fun to see but Ana didn't have magic nor did she have anyone who could teach her in Calea, magic was not something their people were really good at.
As the boy moved toward her Ana moved slightly to the side avoiding his testing lunge and rushed forward, making sure she stuck close enough that he couldn't bend his arm to hit her with it. She lifted her arm the one with the dagger in it above the boy who had taken his low stance. By the time her arm was fully lifted she brought down aiming to slam her forearm on the boys shoulders hoping to knock him forward, this left her open for him to trip her or use his weight against her if she missed.
She'd already learned the side he favored by watching him climb down so she was going to use that, and she wasn't about to test him or really give him time to test her. Ana didn't mess around and if she could keep him this close there was no way she could loose. This is what she was trained in after all, if he managed to keep her away then he'd have the chance but not if he kept trying to test her.
Training with Kean he didn't go easy on her, in fact she'd come back from training in their rooms with a number of bruises and scrapes, which of course got them in a world of trouble. Princesses shouldn't be fighting. At least not at that age, in Calea everyone knew how to fight, just men started earlier than girls, after all they had to learn how to be a lady the main thing was to get married and have children after all. Ana didn't really care about that, her goals involved being the best female fighter in Calea, things were more fun that way, plus boys were gross still.

{ hate it enough to try it again }
{ Ana & Emi: "I wonder what's wrong with them?" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ }
{ They notice everyone else except themselves and each other. Like 'what is this feeling? Must be hatred' lol }
{ Thanks! And you know it's the same with you~ }

{ of course not perish the thought }
{ And the sad thing is, they have no one else to turn to. They have to keep this hidden because Ana and Emi don't know but if anyone else saw the way they act around each other they'd catch on immediately lol }
{ lol omg that's a good one! Someone should use that line later in the rp! Emi: What...what did you just do? Ana: I was cutting off your air supply. Emi: Bet I could do it better- }
{ Oh! I was also thinking that Ana & Emi could spend most of their time with either Kean or Ran but then have unexpected instances where it's just them. Arguments are likely spread between the times, but they need some quiet moments too, to find common ground and get to know each other better. When they can discuss things that are important to them, like their hopes, responsibility toward their family/kingdom, etc. And of course Emi has to Mother Hen her a few times- likely insisting that he cooks for her. But only so that she'll trust him enough not to suspect poison later, of course! Also! I think he might become interested in her potential once he sees her fighting with Ran and offers to train with her a few times- 'cause I was thinking either Ana wins this fight or it's a tie between them. }

{ It falls to them to keep their kingdoms together. Askran caught them kissing once and suffered a sleepless night. }
{ If anyone asks, that's what they're doing. It's advanced warfare, okay? }
{ Exactly lol And Emi would be exactly the kind of awkward duck to go on about his weird dream }
{ See, he has no idea where the flowers and heart-shaped baked goods came from?? And if she just happens to find an entire feast on her birthday? It was...the fairies. }
{ Hmhm, good idea! And love that ending! Lol I don't know if I'll be able to reply tonight but I should be free tomorrow! }

{ lol Askran is making disapproving faces in the background }
{ In fact, that's why they need to do it so much! They're...practicing. At this rate I feel like they'll always be insufferable lol Ana: You had a crush on me? Ew. Emi: Ana we're married. Ana: But still }
{ His go-to excuse! Why did I tell you that you look beautiful? The fairies made me do it, obviously. Idiot. Don't look at me I'm not blushing- }
{ Thanks! And me too! I love that we can have fun planning and torturing them ahead of time~ }

{ omg I forgot that Kean is her big brother and will naturally feel Some Type Of Way about Emi making eyes at his sister! This adds a whole new level of ridiculous- and hilarious- Anthemion will absolutely not know how to act with him. Like he'll randomly blurt out things like 'your sister isn't cute' and always try to get Kean to fight him because he feels Guilt. }
{ lol they will Never Admit Ran: They're engaged- Emi & Ana: IN COMBAT }
{ Those darn fairies. Bloody romantics, the lot of 'em }
{ Planning things out is part of what makes it fun~ }
{ omg yes lol As soon as Ana & Emi enter the room he just raises his brows and sips tea here we go again }

Askran had anticipated the princess evading his lunge, but hadn't quite expected the swiftness that accompanied her movement. Or that she would immediately target his left side- one his tutors were still attempting to train him out of favoring. She moved into his space to prevent defense with his dagger and his first instinct was to put more distance between them. He felt more than saw her intention to knock him forward and nearly stumbled in his haste to back away. Somehow, he successfully managed to lower himself further to sweep a leg out, intending to knock her legs from under her.
Anthemion observes the sparring redheads with interest, feeling a smidge of pride at how quickly Askran corrects himself- and then irritation when he doesn't follow his move with another strike. Instead the prince hops backward and reassumes his stance, golden eyes narrowed with thought but obviously not enough. The arrogant little- if he isn't trying to end this quickly then what does he hope to accomplish? Anthemion can already tell that the princess doesn't care for the mind games and strategies Ilmarans are so fond of, he can see the set of her jaw and hardness in her eyes. She moves pretty well in a dress too- perhaps Calea has more interest in training their girls than Ilmara?

{ *Anthemion dodging his attacks* : No wait listen- Askran would be torn between helping him and inventing popcorn just so he can enjoy this- }
{ Exactly~ <3 }
{ lol Imagine that as it comes on every scene of the opening credits includes Kean and Ran sipping tea and being #Tired of all the drama in the background The Young and the Flirtless~ or something to that effect }

Askran is ready when the princess attacks again, but moves into her body blow with a strike of his own a touch too late. Her foot hits the back of his knee and his dagger glances off her arm as he unbalances. He actually manages to toss it to his opposite hand as he falls so that he can catch himself on his left arm with a grunt. This time, at least, he doesn't allow her time to get her bearings, and returns with another sweep of his own- this one more aggressive, and he makes sure to drag his boot through the hem of her dress to ensure that the pull of the fabric further unbalances her. Anthemion winces at the sound of tearing and streak of mud that results. There's something of a smirk on Askran's lips as he surges upwards, stepping on the hem of the princess' dress and leading with his dagger in a direct strike that would be difficult to evade. Likely in an attempt to force her to use her own weapon. It's at this point that Anthemion realizes he never gave any clear conditions for surrender and that he'd have to call a match if they get too enthusiastic.

{ there is no right answer, he's screwed either way lol }
{ Mine too! It's just been worse than usual lately with the pressure caused by storms in my area. ^^" I get migraines }
{ I'll try to have my reply up tomorrow! Sorry for the wait My muse has been unreliable lately... I had to rewrite my previous post twice because I keep forgetting that they're six and six year olds aren't the best of fighters no matter how well they're trained- well unless it's spartan training, I guess ^^" But you're doing a really good job of it! Like, Anaris really reads as six to me~ }
{ On another note- right now Emi is freaking out because the princess' dress is torn and he did nothing to stop her he's an accomplice In the future, however...Well Ana tearing her dress in one of their fights might lead to her winning. Eheheh~ }

Askran only just manages to catch himself, though he still goes head over heels and lands ungracefully with a pained grunt. His dagger slips from his fingers, and he hastily snatches it up as he rights himself with a mild frown. Evidently that hadn't gone as he'd planned. Anthemion sighs noiselessly; it's no wonder- His sigh becomes a hiss when the princess nonchalantly tears what looks to be an expensive dress, his wide eyes darting briefly toward the balcony, as if her parents are waiting to condemn him. "Why don't you two wrap this u-" Before he can finish, Askran is already launching another series of attacks, this time pressing forward with repeated swipes of his dagger in a pattern that he must have learned in one of his lessons with the soldiers.
{ Hmhm, I was thinking we could end their fight prematurely/have the parents show up sooner? I'm looking forward to torturing building on Emi & Ana's relationship~ }

{ lol Anthemion wouldn't even fight back much, because he'd do the same thing if he found Kean kissing his little sister. He'd kind of be looking at Ana like 'fix this! You were there too!' }
{ It be like that ^^" }
{ lol }
{ haha I forgot that! Emi would be like 'before you fight me you have to wear my coat...' And insist he's trying to make it fair by giving her more protection- but if it comes to it/he's feeling mischievous he'll tear his own clothes because turnabout is fair play- but then if they get caught it'd be more difficult to make anyone believe they were just fighting lol }

(I'm down with that, I'll get that going with this next post cause I'm ready to bully develop them as well ) (LOL Ana is just gonna shrug and sit to watch it before Kean goes after her too "How many times have a told you since you could understand BOYS HAVE COOTIES!!!") (The parents come in and they are like....why are there bits of clothing everywhere..) (War tactics. Duh.)

{ Hi! Sorry can't reply properly at the 'mo- but please consider This otherwise known as Young Emion's theme for Anaris haha~ I imagine a less upbeat song for him when he's an adult because I feel like that would best suit how serious and Deep Voiced he is for some reason }
