With the myriad of recent stresses in Ophelia's life, the doe quickly decided it was time to get out of the house for a while and enjoy some time to herself, perhaps even engage in some well-calculated stress relief. ...Such as pitting two small war-mongers against one another. That always worked a bit. If nothing else it gave Absynthe a bit of a work out and allowed her to blow off steam without maiming anyone she particularly cared about. Ophelia settled into a comfortable-looking spot on the sparring field, waiting for an opponent to search her out as Absynthe strained eagerly at the least. Absynthe, in her utter delight to be out and causing trouble, was sneezed and snorted at every Bander that got too close. She'd been cooped up for far too long with those little things that she wasn't allowed to gnaw on and she wanted out. Or, well, off her leash if nothing else.

Man was Aidan a hyper little bander; he had been just about bouncing off the walls lately so Dilis figured she would help him burn off some energy. She had not really gotten a chance to do anything with him since the courts were keeping her so busy but today it was all about Aidan. She wanted to get him into sparring and such anyway so this seemed the perfect time. She walked slowly onto the field, the chubby little thing following behind her when she saw someone she recognized. Twirling her pearls in her finger as per usual, she walked over smiling and called to the person. " Ophelia! It is so nice to see you, it would seem we were both thinking the same thing today. Would you like to spar our banders?" As Dilis chatted with Ophelia, Aidan took upon himself the nosy little thing to feel out the other bander on the field. He sniffed at it and making a final decision, sneezed out a challenge. Name: Aidan

Ophelia's brow arched as she heard a voice calling her name over the expanse of the sparring field. Slowly she tilted her head up, staring quietly at the girl. What was this? How the hell did she know her? Unless, of course, she followed her studies. That would make more sense. Expect that she was also using her name in a heavily familiar sense. The doe stepped forward, keeping a tight eye on the blue male and her Absynthe all the while. It wouldn't do anyone any good for the banders to get ahead of themselves and this girl's bander seemed a bit over eager if Ophelia could judge right. "It would seem we are." The doe tilted her head slightly and looked down at Absynthe, who had replied with a challenging snort of her own. Ophelia nodded. "Alright, that works for Absynthe and I. You'll have the honors of the first move then."Ophelia stepped back to a proper distance, unleashing Absynthe and allowing the ball of fur to bristle defiantly. "Whenever you're ready."Since Aidan has an agility of 8 and Absynthe has an agility of 7, Aidan goes first. |

Round 1! Aidan's Turn
Dilis nodded at Ophelia and set Aidan down far enough way to make the spar even. She whispered a command in his ear and went to sit down to watch. "Well, this should prove to be entertaining at the least." If he does not do what I say, no treats for a week, she giggled to herself. That will teach him to respect her wishes.
Aidan stared at the other bander for a moment and then took off running. He grunted as his chubby little paws hit the dirt, getting closer to the deep green female. As he got closer, he bared his teeth at the other bander to try and intimidate. He wanted so badly to bite her but he held his ground and did what his owner had told him to... He launched himself into her side knocking her to the ground.

Round 1! Absynthe's Turn
7 - 4 = 3 energy damage
20 - 3 = 17
As the spar began in earnest, Ophelia gaze herself a moment to study the bipedal feline that had approached her. There was, as Ophelia had previously noted, something familiar about her but the doe couldn't quite put her finger on it. The almost-connection was positively frustrating and Ophelia wasn't about to let sleeping dogs lay, so to speak. Her Corvistownien nature simply wouldn't stand for it.
The doe paused for a moment, calling a quick command to Absynthe, and then returned her attention onto Dilis. "We appear to be...at a social disadvantage. You know my name, but I don't believe I know yours. Perhaps you could enlighten me with your name?"
Absynthe hit the ground hard, rolling briefly before springing to her feet and whipping toward Aidan. The green bander's hackles were raised and she growled loudly, paws planting firmly in place as she hunkered down and Glared her defiance back at Aidan. She was not going to go down that easily!

Round 2! Aidan's TurnAs the two banders battled it out, Dilis called a command to Aidan and then turned her attention back to the doe. Did she really not remember? She had gotten so upset during that visit, perhaps she had just blocked it out. No matter though, people forget she figured. " My name is Dilis, we met at the tea shoppe... I was with my butterfly friend and your son, Severus. It is perfectly alright if you do not remember" she said sweetly. Aidan had felt a short sense of victory until she saw Absynthe raise his hackles and glare defiantly; unfortunately it worked and he felt a spat of intimidation. He however was not so that he wanted to back down. He prepared himself and then slammed his chubby little body into the other bander with the intention of knocking the wind out of her. He was prepared to put up a fight! " Good boy, Aidan; Never back down!" Dilis called out encouragement to the field. She was just hoping Aidan would get some good experience from this.. and hopefully less of his spaztic energy. Aidan uses Slam!StatsNRG: 20 FOR: 4 AGI: 8 TEN: 0

Round 2! Absynthe's Turn
10 - 4 = 6 energy damage
17 - 6d = 11
The tea shoppe? Oh. Yes, she remembered now. It was the little Avington feline from before, but she'd changed quite a bit since then. A bipedal form and even the rank of Jack, impressive. Somewhat.
Ambition, yes. Court interest? Not so much. This, however, wasn't about politics and Ophelia wasn't about to make it so.
"Ah yes, Dilis. I remember now." Her attention had been far too focused on Severus at the coffee shop for the doe to really focus on who had all been there. A butterfly too, that was more memorable if only because she'd been so odd. "Pardon my, forgetfulness." She rolled her shoulders casually and shook her head, focusing back upon the Banders as she spoke. "I was a bit distracted at our last meeting, so I suppose it's a pleasure to be meeting you on a one-on-one basis."
There was something more, a deeper memory perhaps? But Ophelia ignored that entirely. Deeper memories were memories of the past and she had just as much intention to drudge that up as she did to discuss politics with the feline.
The impact of the blue bander's body against her own sent Absynthe sliding back a few feet, but her previous stance kept her from going down fully. Instantly she was moving again, rushing straight at Aidan and Slamming herself into him.

Round 3! Aidan's Turn
Yes as she thought, Ophelia had been distracted that day. She understood, there was a lot going on that day so she was not about to dwell on that subject for long. She did wonder how Parvana was doing these days though. There were a few visits she wanted to make and catch up with people, number one would be catching up with Peder. She smiled to herself as she thought of him but then snapped attention to the tasks at hand.
"I can imagine so what with the tension as it were. But that is alright, I really do not mind. How are Seki and Xylia? I have not seen either in awhile and with Xylia, she had been so kind as to give me a bed to sleep in for a night. I really do need to repay her for that..." Dilis said thoughtfully.
Without warning the green bander had slammed herself into Aidan, sending him slipping back and though he would not have normally fell over completely, his weight was against him and he tripped over his own paws.... faceplanting into the ground. He begrudgingly got himself up and bared his teeth at her, whilst glaring. He was just knocked down by a girl! This would not do.

Round 3! Absynthe's Turn
Tenacity = 0
Ophelia's eye twitched slightly, but her expression remained neutral. Even a week earlier and she would have reacted poorly to that question and even now it wasn't as easy to answer as it should have been. So much had happened and while everything was back in 'place' very little was back to normal.
Xylia had gotten wounded when she'd gone out looking for Seki and had returned empty handed even then. And Seki... Seki was back, but he wasn't alright. Physically unharmed by the time he came back to her, but far from emotionally sound.
"Xylia and Seki are fine." She hesitated. The girl said she was friends with Seki so maybe... "Xylia's just gotten back from a trip and Seki... he's been down lately, actually... perhaps you should come by and visit him sometime?"
The glare held Absynthe in her place for a moment before the green bander shook it off and lunged forward into another barreling attack. With all the power she could muster, she slammed into the male bander with the full intent of taking him down for the count.

Down lately? Dilis wondered what that meant... She hoped nothing had happened to Seki, that would break her heart surely. "Well I will surely do that then, thank you for telling me Ophelia. I really had been worrying about him lately."
Aidan was too cocky, he thought he had Absynthe when it was really short lived. She slammed into him and at that moment he knew he was down. He slid across the field and lay there panting for a moment, letting the failure sink in.
"WellOphelia, it would seem the match is over and your bander turned out to be victorious. I give you many congratulations and thank you for giving me a chance to wear out my little bander friend. I will check in on Seki once I get the chance but for right now I really must go, Father expects me home. "
