He moved fast, she’d give him that. She spun into his kick, taking the power away from it, coming with a backhand aimed at his solar plexis. But the twist of his attack caught her and took her to the floor. She hit hard, slamming the air out of her lungs. She took a backwards tumble roll back to her feet and balanced on the balls of her feet, watching him carefully. Where had THAT come from. Not from Noa. She was sweating, but kept her breathing even. She shifted just slightly, “Come on. I’m just a woman. Can’t you do better? Oh…right, Noa was afraid of women.” Her laughter taunted him, goading him to do something.

So this was how she wanted to play it, it’s how he wanted to play it too so Ryder came with a shout. He jabbed with his right arm, straight and true, span behind himself and followed through with his left elbow, before rolling into a sweeping arc with his left leg to deal a triple threat combo blow, Kalas fighting techniques proving against his opponent. “I. AM. NOT. NOA” He jumped now, up high bringing his right fist down onto her with all his might for better of for worst.

Casela waited, and with a swift middle block she swept the first punch out of the way, but didn’t move fast enough and the elbow caught her right across the jaw, blooding her mouth, the blow making her eyes and ears ring, the sweep taking her down. She heard him yell first, and then him coming down towards her. Her gaze wicked, she’d got to him. She lifted her feet and hands, catching him and pushing him over her head to throw him across the floor, but instead she rolled with him, landing with a knee just below his solar plexis. “Prove. It.” she taunted as her the heel of hand came at him for an ox-jaw strike to the nose.

His eyes widened at the sudden vicious attack, the strike glanced his nose as he twisted his body to the right and attempted to dodge the attack, it was half successful. His nose burat open and the pain exploded across his face. Lifting his hands he grabbed her arm and threw her over his shoulder by pivoting on the balls of his feet and the twisting power in heis hips before following the woman down, he straddled both legs, pinning them to the mat one arm holding hers back and a hand clenched behind him as he looked down into her own broken face.

Cursing silently Casela did not want to be in this position. Her grappling techniques were wanting. Crap. crap. crap. She was breathing hard, and he knew he had her. Her arms weren’t going anywhere. She pulled her knees up to dig her heels into the floor and bucked trying for a type of scissor kick to throw him off. She rolled trying to get her arms free at the same time. It would hurt like crazy, but she’d head butt him in the nose if she had to.

Ryder resisted as best he could to stop the woman from getting out from under his lock, for a counsellor she was easily the hardest opponent he and any of his hosts had faced. As she bucked the Trill XO fell forward ungracefully so that neither he or she really had the upper hand their battered faces a fraction apart, her torn lip, her black eye and bloody cheek drained him of all his anger and in a whisper “I’m not him and you are none of those things.” The moment was paused, as if someone had slowed time as they lay staring at one another, Ryder unwilling to move. He noticed how beautiful her eyes were, like diamonds among the rough of her beaten face. He had gone to far, how could he forgive himself.

She was still pinned, and she about to make another attempt to throw him off, he was a fierce opponent, something/someone she hadn’t faced in a long time. Casela hadn’t really been listening for his thoughts, but his total silence was suddenly broken, and that changed the whole thing. She was winded but the fight or flight mode was gone. His thoughts suddenly loud in the stillness inconvenienced her more than anything. She whispered into the sudden stillness, “No I’m not.” She swallowed hard watching his face, only inches from hers. “And you are nothing like him.” She stayed very still, time slowed and stretched.

Ryder wasn’t sure when or how his lips had touched hers, having no recollection of even the thought to do so entering his mind. All he was aware of was the metallic taste of the blood on his lips and the sweet saltiness of her lips pressing again his own, his eyes had closed and his breathing had slowed to match that of the atmosphere in the room. He hadn’t considered that this was going to be the way their fighting both physical and mental would end up with the pair of them bloody and bruised embracing each other, Noa dissolved and he became just Ryder Raauhl, kissing Casela. He wasn’t sure if she was about to head but him or kiss back either were welcomed now.
