Lens kicks his foot up at the same time aiming for the wounded leg.

Slightly moving her left leg, she felt Lens' leg grazing into the side of it. She gave out a quick painful grunt. She heard a "bink" in the staff right next to her, she realized it was metal. Quickly swinging under and away from him, she took a new stance.

Lens grinned and took a defensive stance; with the staff held a little to the left of its mid point.
"come on then" he taunted,

"Wow... you seem to be fighting hard for just a dojo sign." She said smirking. "And your staff... it's metal..."
She paused for a moment, taking her stance.
"You seem to enjoy fighting with that staff more than anything else..."

"well, you see I moved here a few days ago and my place is rather spartian; figured it could do with a few decorations for the walls" Lens said grinning widely "Your sign would make a good start. As to the staff, well; staffs have always been my first love; this one's almost part of me"
Lens resumed his defensive stance and looked over at Karuri tauntingly.

Karuri smiled oddly.
"You're an odd one," she paused for a moment, but still took her stance. "Nobody has ever challenged me for my sign before... usually they'd be more smart about it and challenge me for creds so they can buy themselves a drink..." She smirked a little bit.
"But still... you have some spirit in you somewhere... it's your ambition for something... it's enough to make you a little more invincible...If you defeat me... it will be the first defeat for me in a long while...then again... I don't know the last time that I'd ever fought a government official..." She stared at him curiously.
"You seem to depend upon the staff more than yourself... a stick of metal...that you claim is your love...haven't you ever been in love... with someone else... a woman?..."

"ahhh, long ago in the dark mists of time I loved a woman; sadly it didn't work out" Lens sighed loudly "Even now I am torn internally by the agony in my soul"
"well something like that would sound nice anyway" he commented while winking impishly at Karuri
"anyway I have a sign to win" Lens pointed out and gripped his staff tigher.

Karuri laughed a bit,
"If the rumor that Eastern Gate is going to be shut down is true... then I don't see why you would be going for this..." Karuri looked at him in the eyes. "Do you even REALIZE the meaning of fighting for my sign... "
She looked at him in all seriousness. "I have to admit... when I looked at you... I thought It would be a little more easier than it really is... to defeat you..." She said.
"But you do realize the tradition of fighting for my sign would mean that technically if you won... not only would you win the sign... but you'd win the dojo... and what would YOU do with a dojo?... I don't think you realize the meaning behind that... which is why... I don't understand a young government official like you... you can't POSSIBLY run a dojo and run a government official job at the same time..." Karuri paused...
"What do you say we wager something different?..."

"tell ya what if I win, I'll sell you the dojo back for a drink?" Lens said grinning "I don't really need a dojo"
"as to the fighting being meaningless, well the art of fighting is its own meaning; the signs irrelevant really" He winked "but, It's still coming with me"
"ah that sign will look good on my wall" he taunted.
Suddenly Lens retracted the top blade on the staff and plunging the bottom blade into the ground and swung around towards her to attempt a fast kick.

"How about if you win... instead of the sign... I will carve you a special certificate... saying that you "played Karuri at her dojo and beat her in a match"... plus I will give you 5,000 creds so you can buy yourself some drinks... how does that sound?" Karuri said getting her swords ready. "And... if I win...what do I get...? hmmm...?"

Lens thinks for a moment "Hmmm, I guess that'd be ok; to be honest, I don't know what id do with your dojo if I won your sign"
"Well then, what would you like if you win?" Lens said grinning widely.

Karuri smiled and thought of something,
"How about 7,000 creds?" Karuri asked smiling. "Does that work for you?"
She looked at him curiously.

Lens grins at her while tossing the idea around in his mind.
"Deal!"
"I'm ready when you are" Lens said as he triwled his staff before falling back into a crouched defensive stance.

Karuri nodded and took her stance with her swords. He tried to catch her breath. She wiped the sweat that had been streaming down her face with her arm. She moved forward only ever so slightly.

Lens edged forward at an almost imperceptable pace, maintaing his defensive stance.
He waited patiently, with a calm impassive face, for Karuri to make her move.
