Log;

[He wasn't joking about his brazen challenge, make no mistake about that. Caspian has his sword, his dirk, his bracers, his brigandine, and his pride. The last is his weakness. He isn't at the Pevensie household yet, but he is coming.]

ooc: Lol placeholder, didn't want to make it BOYS ONLY either so y'all can thread however pre-duel until I get back from feasting at like 9PST?

[Edmund? Why is Edmund here? Peter's confused, but he keeps his concentration on the fight at hand. Edmund obviously has no qualms about hurting Caspian. Peter keeps his attention on Caspian, hoping that he can get in between the two if anything goes horribly awry.]

[Edmund? Why is Edmund here? Caspian's confused, but that's the kind of bloodlust he's aiming for. Too bad Edmund the Just isn't is intended target. No matter. Caspian growls from the slice that catches his arm. The dagger drops but that just means two hands for his sword. Immediately he swings it around, looking to cut across Edmund's face.]

[Edmund pulls back in a cross between a jump back and a duck of avoidance. Caspian's sword catches the side of Edmund's face as it was his intent. Edmund feels the cut bite, but it's only a graze on flesh. There's some blood there, he doesn't bat at it in idle notice, just lets it drip.

A smug smile works at Edmund's lips, knowing he's managed to do Caspian in a bit. He's still more than a little unsatisfied, and more than a little upset. Edmund pulls his sword back and slices it out after circling Caspian, diving back without warning.]

[Peter watches as Edmund gets nicked by Caspian's blade, breathing a small sigh of relief that the sword barely cuts. It looks like Edmund has his concentration fully on Caspian, and it's become more of a double team against Caspian than a three way battle. As Edmund dives in, Peter also strikes out at Caspian.]

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[He turns again to evade Edmund's slash and as he brings the edge of his sword up to strike against Edmund's ribs, the metal instead clashes against Rhindon. Well shit, Caspian's in a bit of a spot with not one but two Kings of Old!

Immediately he thrusts his sword at Peter while kicking out at Edmund's knee to try and keep him at bay.]

[So this is what it's come down to. Edmund tells himself that for now he will ally himself with his brother, then later, he will deal with Peter. For now, Caspian is their main focus.

If Edmund's thankful or upset at Peter's interference, he doesn't show it, driving his sword down, as he manages to barely avoid Caspian's kick.]

[Peter manages to sidestep Caspian's attack, while turning to swing Rhindon towards Caspian in retaliation. Of course, it's hard to keep track of your surroundings in a fight with two others, and Peter stumbles slightly over the ground.]

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

Ahh!

[Caspian growls when Edmund's blade cuts into his thigh. That's going to hurt in the morning. Without even thinking he takes a hand off his own sword to crack his elbow against the other brunette's nose. This leaves him wide open to Peter but Caspian is quickly changing his grip on his own sword to switch to a defensive position.]

[Broken nose for his effort. Edmund hits the ground, stabbing his sword to steady himself. He hisses. It hurts. Both he and Peter are to either side of Caspian, recollecting themselves. Edmund yanks his blade out of the ground, snarling after a very short pause.]

[He ignores the blood. On his cheek, dripping down his nose. Two hands on his blade, Edmund strikes forward from where he is, leaving Peter the opportune moment to take Caspian down from behind.]

[lionrampante.livejournal.com]

[It's an opportunity Peter takes. While Edmund has Caspian occupied, Peter quickly moves behind Caspian to strike. It's not a very knightly move, but this fight is far from fair.]

[treadingdawn.livejournal.com]

[He licks his teeth, glad to see Edmund's face married with red--oh right there's still a fight going on! Caspian raises his sword, palm to the flat to absorb the impact Edmund's attack makes on his weapon. Just as he's ready to turn the attack on him he catches Peter out the corner of his eye.

Too late. The gold pommel hits him hard at the back of the neck. A perfect strike. Caspian falls forward, out cold. There'll be a bruise there in a bit.]

[lionpassant.livejournal.com]

[Edmund's breathing's a bit ragged. He steps forward, eying the fallen King.

Oh, how ever do the mighty fall.

The Just wipes his face angrily with the back of his hand, scowling at the sight of blood.

Edmund rises his blade high, ready to deliver a final blow.]

[Seeing an open coarse of action---after coming to a sword fight quite at a disadvantage!---Susan flies to Caspian. Fallen and evil or not, he can't be killed. Will all of her might she drags the bulk of the Telmarine from harm's way. Even though he has sprigs of leaves and sticks in his hair, he'll thank her later!]

[lionrampante.livejournal.com]

Edmund!

[Peter's voice is full of warning, as he throws a punch at Edmund. It's impulsive, something he wouldn't have done normally. But Edmund's cursed, and about to step over the line. Edmund will just have to understand.]

[lionpassant.livejournal.com]

[GOD. What was with all the nose pain!? Peter hits Edmund where it hurts -- his nose is broken, after all. It has Edmund reeling.]

He was about to kill you, and you stand up for him!

[Edmund spits. There's blood in his mouth. Metallic on his tongue. He does himself a favor, he throws a punch back.]

[lionesssejant.livejournal.com]

[Caspian is safely out of the way. Susan props him up against a tree. He is completely unconscious and unmindful of nature in his locks.]

We're in this together, Edmund. A curse or not, can't you see? Things only get worse when we're at odds!

[He's a bleeding mess. The fight can't keep going on like this. She doesn't know what else can be done.]

[lionesscouchant.livejournal.com]

[It takes her a little longer - she has shorter legs]

No! Don't fight!

[And she pounces on Edmund. Just like that]

[lionrampante.livejournal.com]

[Peter was about avoid Edmund's punch and tackle him, but Lucy gets there first.]

Susan's right, Ed.

[lionpassant.livejournal.com]

[He's about to shout at them to shut up, to stop, just -- stop it. He doesn't want to hear it. Edmund doesn't get to say it --

Lucy has him against the ground, having pounced on him like a lithe thing. Edmund hits the ground.]

Lucy. You're. Not. Light.

[lionesssejant.livejournal.com]

[Zing in a flash right to Edmund.]

Lucy!

[Worry worry worry, he could turn vicious in a moment's notice! So she tries to peel them apart.]

[lionesscouchant.livejournal.com]

[She gets off with Susan's help]

Sorry. I just needed it to stop.

[Aslan taught her that trick. She tugs Susan's hand to help her with Destrier while the boys handle Caspian, who she'll fix up with some Cordial later. Edmund, too.]

[lionrampante.livejournal.com]

Can you stand?

[Peter asks Edmund, hoping that they won't have to drag two guys home tonight.]

[lionpassant.livejournal.com]

[Edmund gives Peter a look at the question. He reaches forward to pull at Peter's wrist in a catch, to help steady himself up.]

Nope.

[The King brushes himself off as he comes to stand, wiping more blood from his face. He's a bit better now. His head thumps, but at least he's over the whole White Witch/Turkish Delight thing. Edmund just hates these curses.]
