Though he could have easily finished off the bunny while she was sprawled on the ground, Erik held back and allowed the neko to help her "little sister" to her feet. He chuckled somewhat as the neko asked him about handicap, replying, "If you recall, you hadn't received your augments yet prior to yesterday's training. I'm not sure if you noticed yet, but you're moving much faster than you were then, and stronger as well. You definitely wouldn't have been able to catch my weapons yesterday."
"If you still want a handicap though... I can oblige," the instructor offered, sheathing his secondary weapon and maintaining his grip on the sword. "I only need one sacred sword to pierce you hilt-deep, after all," he said with a wink to the neko, figuring she'd get the joke while it flew right over Luna's head.
However, Luna's reaction was immediate and obvious. The bunny dropped her spear, whispering "Luna... pierced by Oniichan's sacred sword..." Her hands came up to cover her brilliantly blushing face, and though Erik stepped forward and tapped her head with the tip of his sword as his way of "killing" her for making such an obvious mistake in the middle of combat... the bunny showed no reaction and simply continued to blush and shake her head, pressing her thighs tightly together.
"Looks like Luna is done..." he murmured, raising his sword towards the neko. "You still want to do this?"
