Loki stepped into the room, his sword out and gripped firmly in his right hand. He scanned the room, and found it quite...mute. he also couldn't find an opponent anywhere...the sign said enter for battle. Loki threw his blade into the air and caught it after three spins. Re-sheathing it, he moved to a corner and began to whistle "Imperial Glory" as he waited for a time.

A guy walked into the room.
A few odd things could be noted about this particular person, actually. His hair wasn't normally colored like any normal being, nor did he exactly have normal ears. Placed atop his head was a pair of feline ears, mottled calico like his hair. He was clothed in a pair of jeans and an army green hoodie with a black and silver cross on the front, his hands were shoved in he pockets as he looked towards Loki, "Heys... you look like you need an opponent, right?" He smiled, not really the kind of guy you'd expect to fight, he had an honest voice and kind eyes, he looked like a generally good person. He didn't withdraw a weapon, atleast not just yet. His calico kitty tail swayed back and forth as his green feline eyes surveyed the arena, "So, waddya say? You ready for a fight?" He asked, honestly it was kinda dissapointing to have such a nice person with such a seemingly happy disposition show up to be your opponent.
(I finished my post and read over the quotes and was all... "NEKO RHYMED!!" He seems so much like a little cheshire cat right now, don't he? ^^ )

Loki cocked his head, looking at the new comer critically. he shrugged. "t'woud be nice, and much appreciated." he moved out to the center of the room and removed his sword from its sheath, gripping the blade in both hands. Dropping to an offensive stance, he faced and smiled at the cat like human, "Combat is my profession, I've been fighting since i was a man, I am always ready for a fight." he placed the blade in front of him, as a sort of shield between him and his seemingly deceitful opponent. In his mind's eye, Loki's opponent's appearance shifted from a mutated simian cat to that of a Servaeri, his skin darkened to a blackish blue and the mouth lost any semblance of a lip. Loki's eyes visibly changed from a calm and hating blue to steel, his muscles tensed and the adrenaline surged trough his body. Loki calmly says "Go" and charges forward and breakneck speed, losing a shout "Glory!" and swings at Neko

Neko pulled his body close to the floor in a flurry of responsive movement and his ears lay against his skull, "Th'name's Neko, you?" he asked calmly as if the two of them were sitting down for a cup of afternoon tea or something civil of that sort. With a sweeping motion of his body he brought his foot accross the floor to hopefully send his opponent off balance and tumbling to the floor. His acute feline ears taking in all sounds to warn him of anything his keen eyes might miss. He placed his hands on the floor to give him more of an ability for a speedy escape, since he didn't have too terribly of an advantagious position at the moment.

Before gaining a chance to curse his miss, Loki found himself tumbling, head over heals, to the ground. as he landed on his knees, he used the momentum to launch himself to his feet. in a single, fluid motion, Loki spun around and brought the hilt of his sword down even with his waist. Loki's breathing was labored but not not rapid. "Loki" he said, grinding his teeth as the word spilled from is mouth like brackish water. He waited, eying the extremal agile Neko with caution.

With the precision and agile speed of a breakdancer, perhaps- Neko swung his body so his legs were positioned beneath him, and he stood up, a smile on his face. Obviously Neko had some advantages, such as speed and flexibility- being an adorable kitty boy gave you those kinds of advantages. As he stood there, awaiting another attack, his hands were in his pockets and his breathing unbelievably calm and steady, "Nice to meet you, Loki." He said, kindly enough. It was oddly infuriating that he was so calm and levelheaded and also relaxed at this very moment in time. He brushed a few strands of hair from his vision and smiled, awaiting the next attack.

Loki stood for a moment, miffed by the comments of his opponent. "are you fighting or daydreaming?" he asked. then Loki thought back to his first, and last, attack, how Neko had ducked and tripped him... Loki smiled, then bought his blade out to his side again like he did previously. he closed his eyes and fired his particle beam up wards, producing a blinding flash of light as it hit the ceiling. an instant later, Loki opened his eyes and charged forward, sweeping slash downwards as he reached Neko
((the rules are a bit...ambiguous on this issue, i'm not sure if my light qualifies as "fighting" if you feel it does, disregard the light)

Neko's eyes were shut tightly, irritated by the flash of light, irritating his eyes and they stung horribly. Yeah, sensitive hearing and eyesight, so the light kinda bothered him when it flashed. Cameras were the worst. His ears were laid back, "What's with that?" He asked, obviously a tad bit unhappy with the light, which meant it was likely to happen again. His eyes were narrowed to keep as much light out and he saw blade coming but he couldn't deflect it with his foot or something soon enough. He dove to the side and away from the weapon, "What's your problem, anyways? Ever heard of a nice, friendly battle?" he asked as he rolled away and he now rested on one knee, his back towards Loki and he looked behind himself to look towards his opponent. His green eyes shimmered slightly, he was obviously having fun here with the fight, it really got the adrenaline flowing.

"You seemed a bit bored, wanted to liven up the spectacle." Loki said, with a half smile. then he heard a soft chime, and frowned, he'd have to re-align everything in his hilt, till then, no more particles. he smiled, 'you enjoying this?" he asked then motioned for Neko to face him and rise, "I don't fight fair, but i do fight with honor, I'm not going to hit you when you are on the ground, such is the attack of Servaeri, rise and we may continue. you are a cunning fighter, not having struck a blow, you fight." Loki dipped the point of his sword toward the ground, but keeping his hand ready to raise it when the next attack came.

"If you look at this as some kind of practice battle, this isn't very practical- besides, I'm sure you won't hurt me too badly." He nodded as he stood up, brushing some of the dust from his jeans. He stood now, rather relaxed, his arms hanging at his sides and his green eyes looking directly at his opponent, awaiting the next attack, his gaze was suprisingly unnerving. Rather carelessly attuned to every movement. His feet were spaced apart slightly to give a better sense of balance, though to be honest his tail probably added to his balance as well. "Are you going to attack again, or do you need to catch up on your breathing?" he asked, hoping his opponent wasn't getting too tired out already.

"practice? Practice for what? i just look at it as some fun." he shrugged. "No need to keep up, this rate of breathing is normal in any stressfully situation, at least for me." he looked again at his un-armed opponent, and shook his head. he had expected a weapon duel, that he knew how to do, that was something he was used to. attacking a man with out a weapon, and one so agile, he was miffed. he couldn't see how he could evade his every strike, it just didn't seem possible. sighing, he raised his blade and charged. holding his swing till he was within three feet of Neko.

Neko sighed as Loki charged, "You're obviously new around here, aren't you?" He laughed slightly. Loki hadn't gotten in any other battles? It was an amusing thought at most, since fights came as frequent as anything here. So he entertained the thought of his opponent's shock why he gets in a fight again, though most likely over something completely irrelevent... then again there were also fights over the fate of the world so far, already. So there were pretty much endless situations.
As Loki came with the attack, Neko briefly considered a spin kick to Loki's head but it was far too risky because if it was too hard of a kick, the breaking of Loki's kneck could easily happen, but too weak, it would be ineffective. So instead he swung his body around with a foreward motion, breaking the reaction time for Loki's attack in perhaps quarters as his foot rose up to hit the blade broadside, this way he didn't have to worry about injuring his opponent too badly, or anything of that sort- and he would quickly stop the attack, leaving Loki open.
He now anticipated the opening of his opponent's defenses and he pulled his arm up to elbow Loki in the throat, hitting the trachea to render him unable to fight back and to leave Neko the winner of the fight. He kinda hoped, though that he wouldn't hit too hard- hurting a student would be bad.

Loki felt the blade vibrate in his hand, he felt the note, a sharp D, in his skull, as Neko's foot hit the blade's polished side. His blade fell to his side, the blow also loosened his grip temporally as it gave the blade a slight spin, when Loki recovered, the blade had spun almost 90 degrees, leaving the edge, rather than the flank, opposed to Neko.
Loki quickly spun his blade in an arc in an attempt to restore his defense, spinning it below Neko's arm, but planed to be placed in the space that Neko's arm now took up. Loki also kicked at his opponent, and his foot rose further as he was knocked off his feet from Neko's blow.

Neko quickly backed away from Loki to make sure he wouldn't be hit by any attacks after he landed one of his opponent. Moving now in a zigzag pattern which made him harder to hit, not even a consistant zigzag, no pattern, three steps right, seven steps left, two right, three left, one left, eleven right- nothing in particular to go off of. He now came and started his attack before making a quick movement that he hadn't used yet and he sidestepped behind Loki, aiming to hit him in the back of the kneck with the flat of his palm and knee his spine.
