Aedan nodded, and began to attack. He started off with slow, simple swings that would be easy to block, until he settled into a rhythm. Once he was in a fighting rhythm, he began varying his attacks in intensity, speed and type, moving from heavy slow swings to light fast jabs. He was trying to create as authentic a fighting experience as he could for Damianos, trying to include every type of attack he might have to defend against so he could work out what the Greek man's weaknesses were. Damianos' weakness became immediately obvious- the man wasn't the fastest. It was clear he was seeing the attacks as they flew at him, it was more a matter of successfully avoiding or countering them. After a good ten minutes of constantly getting caught by Aedan's sword, he managed to block a hit with the flat of his sword and push upwards, forcing Aedan back a few steps. Panting he moved away, now extremely wary as he circled him, almost like a wolf might. |

Aedan nodded "Alright, your weakness is speed. I'm going to throw some fast attacks at you. Keep your elbows in and your movements as short as possible - it'll keep your counters fast"
And so he began to attack again, doing his attacks as quickly as he could muster, hoping the other man would gather some confidence with fast attacks and be able to counter him

He gritted his teeth as he was bombarded, taking to heed what Aedan was telling him. A fast learner when it came to weaponry and fighting, he eventually managed to start jumping out of the way, or batting away Aedan's sword.
His eyes fully focused, he leaned away from a thrust and shoved forwards his own sword- he pressed the tip into the hilt, just where the blade would connect to the hilt, and twisted upwards. This movement bent Aedan's wrist and forced him to release, his sword clattering to the floor nearby as, chest heaving from the effort, Damianos touched the point of his sword to the elder males throat.

Aedan smiled, pursuing the point of the sword away from his throat with the tip of a finger "Excellent. You just countered an attack. Do you want to practise attacking now, or should we just fight normally?"
Damianos was already doing so well, and Aedan was aware of a swell of pride in his chest. He would make an excellent fighter, with some practise and polishing.

He would make an excellent fighter, with some practise and polishing. 'Normally, I think.' He nodded. 'I'm probably better learning under pressure.' He retrieved the mans sword for him and gave it back, heart pounding with adrenaline in his veins. He gave him some space and slid back into his solid stance, taking a few deep breaths to calm down. 'Alright. Ready.' |

Aedan nodded, sinking back into his favoured fighting position, and started fighting as he would in the arena, mixing fast and slow attacks, simple and complex. AT the beginning of the fight he liked to note his opponent's fighting techniques and to try and find out what the best way to fight someone was.

AT the beginning of the fight he liked to note his opponent's fighting techniques and to try and find out what the best way to fight someone was. Damianos narrowed his eyes to focus, sliding around Aedan instead of trying to avoid attacks; avoiding the man was a smarter choice. Every so often he would step in with a quick jab or slash, aiming at the soft part of the legs or at the weaker points in the hips or lower arms. |

Aedan began to see a pattern; he had decided to simply try avoiding his attacks.
So for the next attack he was one step ahead. He feinted one direction and then whipped in the other direction to intercept the other man as he tried to dodge. This time it was Aedan with his sword at his opponent's throat.
"Good idea, avoidance" Aedan replied "But it can be beaten, and even if it couldn't, use this technique sparingly. It is not a favourite among the crowd as it looks cowardly rather than the smart technique tactually it"

'What would you suggest I do instead?' He asked, stepping away and rubbing his throat. |

"You need to learn how to defend well against attacks" Aedan said "A good defence will save your life and it's your only protection. You can't do anything else"

'Got it.' Damianos replied, settling back into his stance. They continued like this until the sun began to dip and it was time to go back to their holding cells; Damianos was bruised and battered, and extremely sore; Aedan certainly hadn't gone easy on him. 'See you in the morning.' He tiredly said, needing no escort as he fell upon his pile of hay, groaning with exhaustion and pain. (Alright... how shall we have them escape, and when?  ) |

[Maybe they start discussing it while training, and it starts to build into something that could actually be an idea. We could have them escape before the first fight or we could include the first fight for drama?]
Both men were bruised and panting by the time they went back to their holding cells.
Sweat sometimes irritated Aedan's old stomach wound, and as he wished Damainos good night and settled down, he began to carefully wiping the sweat off, biting his lip so as to not make any sound.
Even after 5 years the wound still acted up, and today was a bad day indeed.

Could cause a lot of annoyances if he's used to fighting alone) |

But really the older you go, the better. I love Ancient Roman and Ancient Greek. I do like medieval, but if you're thinking more modern, Hamilton has me right into the American Revolution. Any of those take your fancy?] |

(Would you like to skip to the battle itself? Or try for a few days into the week and work up to it? I'm not sure what else we can do except keep an eye on patrols etc considering Aedan has tried to escape before 😂)
