[The bladework is a little unnatural and not as fluid as he would be with a one handed blade. He turns the sword so the blows land on the edge of the blade not the flat of it. He sheds left and right taking the step back just enough to weather the attacks. A few hits get past his guard but the majority don’t.
He falls into the familiar as easily as if he danced across the gladiator arena yesterday. Turn, parry, strike, parry, parry, shed, strike.] When in doubt, parry. Never let anything hit the flat of your sword. Heavier swords will destroy that blade.
