Aria nodded and moved off to the other side of the mat and took off her leather trench coat. Underneath was the close fitting t-shirt and a pair of black jeans with her combat boots. Aria undid the belt for her sword and unsheathed both of the daggers in her sleeves. They were sub par quality and Aria hated them but she'd yet to find a replacement for those that were lost with the warehouse. She didn't understand why she hadn't taken them with her and taken only her sword but what was done was done.
Aria pulled the bubble around her and took up a hand to hand stance. It wasn't exactly her greatest arena but she and Nox had been working on his hand to hand since they'd joined up as a team in order to understand each other. It would interesting to see how things went with someone else - and when she couldn't feel that other person.
It was always a matter of sizing up the opponent. Aria closed her eyes and started circling around the American. The woman was far larger than she was both in size and strength - her only advantage was her agility since she didn't have her ability. Everything felt wrong as she circled around Jacinda.
Aria threw a few jabs as feelers and nothing really felt right. It was like her body wasn't working like it should. Had Manix done something else - had it affected something else. Aria pushed all thought away. Focused on nothing but the mat, her opponent and her own body. It was an easy technique, but still everything felt wrong.
Aria played cat and mouse for several more blows trading nothing as they got into the feel of everything. Aria stepped up her speed, and her number of attacks. Speed and agility were her only advantage. But everything felt wrong. Aria couldn't shake the feeling. Aria tried to physically shake off the wrongness but that had been a wrong thing to do in her distraction...
(( okay I know it's not details of the battle... don't really care about it... feel free to take aria down to the mat and finish the round ... no need to draw it on ))
