Masozi sees him start to move but doesn't quite have enough time to actually get out of the way, since he's at this point fairly pinned; the best he can do is half-turn his head so that, if Jiang Cheng were actually eye-gouging him, he would at least have a slightly less good angle for it. 

- oh that's a good idea, doing the fighting but in a pretend way that doesn't actually hurt people. Though it makes it hard to accurately guess how incapacitated he would be if Jiang Cheng had eye-gouged him for real? 

"I dunno if that'd hurt me too much to keep fighting?" he admits, slightly out of breath.

"Probably, but we keep going? Unless you need break."

"No, m'fine." Priority one: try to roll or squirm into a position where his eyes are out of reach. And also try to knee Jiang Cheng in whatever places he can reach and get enough leverage to hit.

Trying to knee Jiang Cheng is a great way to have him grab your leg and drop you to the floor.

Masozi is kind of running out of things to try now! Short of 'using magic', which would waste mana and is also probably kind of against the rules when you're sparring for practice. 

 

 

...If he goes totally limp and stops doing anything for a second or two, is Jiang Cheng going to react to that in a way that helps him?

Jiang Cheng is going to look very upset, kneel, and start to check his pulse!

Permalink

Doing that tends to work better when you're fighting humans - especially adults - than when you're fighting mals, but Masozi is still very surprised at how well it worked this time! Not so surprised that he forgets to take advantage of it, though - he rolls away and gets his feet under him and sprints to the opposite side of the room to lurk behind the bed.

"That is unfair! I am worried about you!"

Permalink

"- Why? You hadn't even done anything that would've hurt me right then. ...Sometimes if a grownup grabs you and you do that then they'll be surprised and let go." 

Permalink

"I do not know! You are sick maybe!"

Permalink

"....I'm sorry I made you worried?" Masozi makes a face. "I didn't mean to." He's also in fact pretty out of breath, now. "I - maybe need a break now?" 

Permalink

"It is good technique," he admits grudgingly.

Permalink

"I didn't think it'd work that well!" Masozi admits. "I just kind of ran out of ideas for things to try. ....That weren't mind control." 

Permalink

"Mind control is allowed in sparring if you say ahead of time. But it isn't good idea most of the time I think? Because it uses up mana."

Permalink

"Yeah. That was what I was thinking too. ...Can you teach me what you would've done instead of the things I actually did?" 

Permalink

"Yes. But first you practice falling. When you is good at falling, I teach punching."

Permalink

"Okay. How long do you think I need to practice falling for?" 

Permalink

"I teach you again in week? You practice every night. I see how well you do."

Permalink

Nod. "Did....I do okay today?" 

Permalink

"Good instincts. And you fight like you want to kill someone. It is good."

Masozi looks so happy and delighted at hearing this!
