[gestures! the knives fly super fast at her. both are aimed at her shoulders, purely because it'd be rather hard to defend from both with one sword.]

[ look in my game no matter how many projectiles you have if I guard against an attack it blocks it.

But ignoring video game logic.

. . . she steps forward and to the side, catching one of the knives with her sword and unless the other one has a bit of English on it she should be free of it. Doubling this as to try and close some distance between them . . . ]

[did you forget I still have that chain, because I HAVE LEARNED MULTI-TASKING.

The way he attacks her with it is far more savage this time, attempting to both catch her and hold her, the knifed end aimed to gouge. Another portal opening behind him, too, shooting at her stomach this time.]

Veil of Petals!

[ Which is mostly still a straight on fast-lunge attack, but there is a certain . . . zing to it, being a ~special move~. So it will block the shot knife but not quite enough to block the knifed end and only halfway interrupts the chain's attempt to hold.

But now she is very very close and her sword is also very very close. ]

[oh balls. Close range combat, not so much my bag when I don't also have a giant sword. DODGE DODGE and attempts to gain a better grip with the chain in order to prevent her from stabbing him up.]

[ Well. You can do that.

She will just pull with as good as she has

and if you are too occupied with her sword she will try to hook a foot in between yours and knock you down that way.

It's a wrestling move. ]

[YANKS AT HER SWORD TO TRY TO DISARM HER

but then gets knocked down yes. but he will grab on the chain and drag her down with him oh yes. I WILL NOT BE THE ONLY ONE ON THE GROUND, OH EMPEROR.]

[ with a MANLY YELL down she goes as well and no she is clinging to that sword and trying to bash him with the hilt. ]

[okok try to recover some dignity

definitely bashed with the hilt and he reels but then - grabs a knife out of a portal with the hand not holding the chain, actually grasping and trying to get it to her throat so we don't actually. just wrestle. here.]

[ . . . leglocks around him . . .

but also banishes her sword to use both her hands to grab at the knife and push it back. ]

[kyaaaa saber

uses his weight to hold it in place, though since she's pushing back he can't really get it any closer to her throat either.]

Yes, I see you are an Archer.

I'll use what advantage I can get. Do you yield, Tiny Emperor?

You would consider this your advantage? Do not make me laugh, King of Heroes! I have you close and could gut you at any time! The question is, do you yield?

You are unarmed and my knife is near enough at your throat. I certainly do not.

I am hardly unarmed. Come now, I may forgive you for striking me if you give up.

I will offer you that same promise of forgiveness. Saber.

[ HMMMMMM ]

Well, how about something different? Yes, I can see we will get nowhere with these kind of promises.

Share your thoughts, then.

Be my wife!

[. . .

oh I guess that is what that feels like huh]

Shouldn't you be my wife?

. . . why would I be your wife? What advantage does an Emperor have in marrying a King? There are only two options here -- a marriage for greater dominance or one of possession. Un! The Emperor would allow either but sees no advantage in the reverse.

[gosh you are my favourite]

Mhm, so what you're saying is that marriage to the Tiny Emperor would be allowing her to dominate me? I refuse. My kingdom spans the whole world, a far greater span than your empire. You will have to bring more equality into our marriage before I accept you. To marry the original King would be marrying up even for you.

I will show you the path to my glory.
