It really isn't her day.

Caeda takes full advantage of her mistakes. The moment Céline drops her guard, a lance crashes into her shoulder with a startling amount of force. Their weapons aren't made to pierce as this is a mock battle but it's enough to throw Céline off balance, landing her gracelessly on her rump in the mud.

She prays the other competitors are too distracted to notice. At least let her leave this place with her dignity still in tact.

"Thank you, Miss Caeda," she takes the hand offered to her, getting back on her feet. With a teasing smile, she continues. "An impressive display of strength. Let's not pretend I hurt myself today."

"Congratulations, a well earned victory. Now, I think a nice warm cup of tea will have me feeling right as rain again. Care to join me?"

[caeda: 5/5HP] "miss celine, correct?" caeda greets with a smile atop her dear pegasus, her mount ever the comfort in battle. "don't go easy on me, give it your best shot!" her lance is twirled around with one hand once twice and then she dives toward celine with a hardened vigor. oh how she missed flying like this. [ caeda rolls to attack with blessed lance, 8, 1.5 damage! celine: 3.5/5HP ]

The lance strikes her in the side and Céline winces slightly. She steps away, doing her best not to let it show but her arm smarts terribly. When she raises her hand to cast Fire the flames flicker out in the palm of her hand.

Céline counterattacks with Fire. Roll d20-4: -2! WOMP WOMP!

Aggravating.

"Correct, Miss Caeda. I'd prefer we took the chance to chat over tea rather than battle but I suppose we must go along with this, at least for now." Her smile is polite and good-natured all the same. This isn't a real battle and whilst she hates to display her weakness so openly, it's hardly Caeda's fault she was so careless. She is not her enemy and the real obstacle to overcome is herself. "Perhaps once the tournament finishes up?"

Gaining enough distance to avoid a counterattack, Céline prepares another spell. Warmth gathers at her fingertips and a blaze is summoned this time, but she still can't find her mark. A paltry improvement, but one nonetheless.

Céline attacks at range with Fire. Roll d20-4: 1! Miss

"This isn't going very well for me. You're a swift foe, my lady. I can only count my blessings that this is a mock battle."

Caeda has 5/5 HP remaining, Céline has 3.5/5 HP remaining
