Ari's grip tightened on his sword hilt to the point where his knuckles turned white, but he managed to keep the emotion from his face.
"Oh, the one you saved this morning? That looked like a nasty gash," Aaron commented.
"I knew it was useless to protest against him. He just does whatever he wants because he can," Ari said, sighing lightly. "Anyway, Aaron, you ready?"
"O-Oh! Yes sir!" Aaron exclaimed, running out to face Ari.

"That doesn't mean you still shouldn't treat them like a human," Ari muttered under his breath. He held out his sword, waiting to see if Aaron would make the first move.
Aaron snickered softly, he could see why Ari had been "demoted" now. "Prepare yourself my friend!" he announced before charging forward. Their swords met with a loud metallic clang, followed by a chain of others as they met blow for blow.

Ari's eyes flicked to Lisa. "No comment," he muttered. The momentary distraction caused him to just barely dodge a strike from Aaron. It threw him off a little but he was quickly able to regain his footing.
"Man, I thought I got you with that," Aaron sneered. "Nice job milady, just keep distracting him. We make a great team!"

"That might be true~" Aaron cooed. He jumped back to catch his breath for a moment before rushing in with a low-angled strike at Ari.
"Or it might not," Ari replied, blocking his friend's strike with ease.
No worries! I'm actually gonna head off now, see ya later! ^^]]

Super poofy today]]
Ari faltered and sparks flew as his sword and Aaron's scraped against each other. He quickly regained his composure and shoved his friend back, shifting his position then and charging in for the final blow.
"I bet she would look gorgeous in a long pink gown too, flowing as she dances across the ballroom floor~" Aaron said wistfully, hoping it would help catch Ari off-guard. It didn't, and the next thing the blond knew his sword was sent flying across the clearing. It landed with a metallic thud several yards away.

"I told you it would be quick," Ari said, pointing his sword at Aaron. He held it out for a moment with a triumphant grin on his face before sheathing the sword, signifying the end of the duel. "I'm not number one for nothing~"
Aaron pouted but eventually a grin broke through. "Hey I can dream, can't I?" he replied, snickering. He jogged over and picked up the sword before spinning around to face Lisa. "I take it you were well entertained?" he asked.

"I am glad to hear that," Aaron said. He returned to his post at the gate opposite Ari and took a moment to catch his breath. "We haven't dueled in quite a while!" he exclaimed.
"That's true. Lately all our training time has been going to the newer guard recruits," Ari agreed. He wasn't as out of breath as Aaron, a testament to how often he trained.
"So, on a different subject, tell me about yourself Lady Lisa~" Aaron requested, turning his gaze to her.

I'm not too familiar with it >_<]] I'm mostly an anime/manga person xD]]
Aaron feigned disappointment. "I see, that is very impressive... Is there any way a low born knight such as myself might win your favor then, milady?" he pleaded.
Ari looked at both of them and grimaced. It was a little over the top, but he never was one for shows of romanticism like the one he was currently watching.

Oh lol xD]]
"I see," Aaron said again, looking very thoughtful this time. "I promise you, this knight would have eyes for no one else milady," he suddenly said, placing his hand over his heart.
Ari rolled his eyes. "Yeah right, 'this knight' just so happens to be the same one that flirts with any maid that walks by," he teased.
Aaron's face flushed pink. "I-I do not!"

Aaron's eyes widened and he was speechless for a moment. "Me? Is that alright?" he blurted out, looking to Ari. With a nod from his friend he grinned and gave Lisa a deep bow. "I would be glad to, if you will have me~" he answered, his cheeks still pink.

Ari raised an eyebrow and gave the two a wave. "Uh, have fun?"
Aaron, grinning from ear to ear, started walking down to the village with Lisa beside him. As they were about to disappear out of view he glanced over his shoulder and mouthed "We're even."
"We better be!" came Ari's response.
I'm gonna head off, I have class early in the morning, see ya later! ^^]]

Aaron stared at Lisa wide-eyed for a long moment before spitting out an answer. "N-Nothing! I promise you!" he stammered, waving his hands frantically to emphasize his answer. "I don't even know her name!"

"Does he know that?" Aaron asked once he was released. He straightened out his collar before fixing Lisa with a serious gaze. "He's never mentioned anything about getting married to me."

"R-Really?" Aaron asked. "Well, the royals never really tell me anything, so that might be why I never heard anything about it... y'know, since I'm a knight..." he added quickly, hoping to take an edge off her anger. He took a step toward her, looking worried. "Revenge? On Ari I'm guessing?"

Fear was on Aaron's face for a moment, but then pink quickly filled his cheeks when Lisa came closer. His eyes flicked down to her finger under his chin and he gulped. "S-So you're asking if I'll tell my best friend about this elaborate plot against him? ...Nope, I won't tell him. Not a word..." he answered, giving a totally reassuring grin.
I made little profile things of Ari and Aaron on this avatar making site, I'll post them in a sec~]]
