"What's the worst that could happen?" I say, shrugging.

I could list a bunch of problems that could happen but I choose not to scare her ."Alright,but I'm checking that out after"
"I'm fine, It's fine," I say, knowing it's not. I look down and see my hands are trembling. 'Get yourself together, Amber' I say to myself.
"No it's not" I say. " Your hands are shaking, you are in no condition to fight"
I shake my head, trying to get rid of the fuzziness. "No, I'm fine," I say, starting to panic.
“W-what are you g-gonna do?” I ask, scared.
"Well for starters we don't want that getting infected." I say looking through my bag for a bandage
I force myself to walk towards her and sit down, ready to run at any moment.
I find it and some disinfectant cream."Okay this is going to sting a little bit" I say.starting to apply the cream.
I flinch, but don’t run. ‘Not yet,’ I think to myself.
I apply the cream checking the wound I start to wrap it up.
I let out a breath I hadn’t realized I’d been holding, relaxing slightly.
((Ok. Do you know when you’ll be back?))
"Looks all good now," I say looking at it." Just try not to move it too much."
I nod. “I’m not sure I could if I wanted to,” I say, gently poking the wound.
"Once again I'm sorry, I just have really bad sword skills" I say
“It’s alright, I had my guard down,” I tell her, “are you sure it’s gonna be ok?”
"I reckon as long as you don't move it too much and change the dressing every couple of days, then you should be back to normal"I tell her, "Oh and try to keep the wound clean, we don't want an infection"
I nod. “Okay,” I say, “but if something goes wrong, I’m coming to you.” I tell her, my eyes teasing
"Yes you are, and you are also welcome to come to me anytime you get hurt." I say giving a half smile.
I smile back. “Thanks, I’ll be using that. Can we continue our match?” I ask eagerly.
"If you want to , but I'll try not to hurt you this time" I say.
I pout. “Don’t go easy on me just because of a little scratch,” I say, “I’ll let you go easy on me when you make a cut deep enough to need stitches, and that’s it.”
I roll my eyes."Fine I won't go easy on you but only as long as you don't go easy on me"
“Would dream of it,” I reply, smiling. I hold my sword, waiting for her to attack.
"Go first." I say gesturing to her sword.I ready myself for an attack.
I lunge at her, aiming to knock her over. It’s a little slower than I had wished, since I’m still tired from the amount of blood I lost.
I fall down to the floor, quickly reassemble myself and then try to swipe towards her feet.
I jump up, barely leaping in time. I unsheathe a dagger and lunge, holding it a centimetre from her neck. “How would you get out of this?” I say.
"Threatening much?" I say.Trying to bide time as I think of something.
“We both know I wouldn’t kill you,” I say smiling, “hurt me if you must, just find a way to get out of this. I’m not worried about you actually seriously hurting me. You could just fix me up!”
"True." I say nodding my head.I then grab her arm suddenly hoping this surprised her. I use all my strength to pull it away from me and try to thrust the dagger out of her hand.
I smile at her efforts and let my arm fall away, but I keep my dagger firmly in my hand. “Not bad, but what if I was actually trying to hurt you?” I ask.
"Well then I'd probably be dead" I answer."I'm not that good with hand to hand combat."
“Ok,” I say, “Come at me, and I’ll do my best to defend myself.”
I lunge at her do a fake turn to the left and dart to the right.I then proceed to swipe just above her head.
I catch her blade with mine. "You said you weren't gonna go easy on me," I say, "Aim to kill, and you might just hurt me."
"Okay then." I say and swipe the blade towards her arm,the one that wasn't bandaged up.
I leap out of the way, flipping backward.
I jump forward towards her right and attack her side.
I block, throwing her sword back. "There you go," I say, grinning.
I smile back."right your turn,I've gotta practice some defence"
"Fine, but I'm not gonna try to hurt you," I tell her, my tone sincere, despite the smile on my face.
I lunge at her, trying to hit her in the side with my blade.
