"Not bad for a commoner, huh?" Lucas said that wondering whether James would realise who he was talking about.
As James held a defensive position, Lucas did so too, thinking about possible courses of action now that he has the time. He walked towards James with his shield before his left side, his sword held to the side as if intent on striking to the right. James would either have to launch a pre-emptive strike or let him close the distance further.

James laughed. "Oh, a commoner? My mistake. I only assumed." He still held his position, inching even closer. It was merely a matter of patience. Soon, Lucas would have to strike. Breathing slowly, it was taking all his self-control to not attack himself.

"So many people assume..." Lucas was proud to bear his name, but he couldn't help but hate how inconvenient it was.
Lucas pushed his shield with the narrow side towards James' sword with the intent of knocking it back, should it succeed, he'd follow up with a upward strike towards James' side

James blocked Lucas's shield with his own, stepping aside and letting him follow through with his blow. When his slash missed, he moved to strike back with a counterattack from his own sword.

Seeing the incoming counterattack, Lucas stepped to his left and moved in his shield to catch it. He'd then attempt to stab James in his weapon arm once again.

James's sword bounced off the shield, throwing him off balance just long enough that Lucas had a clear shot at his arm. But James managed to sidestep with the momentum from his swing, causing the attack to miss as he tried to quickly get in a defensive position again, albeit not as tight as before.

Lucas was slowly getting tired of the continuous attack-block-counterattack exchanges. They seemed to be at an impasse and one of them had to break it. Lucas would be the first to try.
Two small steps back, covered by his shield, should open the distance between the two, but James didn't seem very happy about that and kept claiming the step Lucas left. The distance he had would have to do. Lucas slices in a sharp upward strike, Attempting to not be stopped by anything, before stopping and suddenly closing the little distance he had in an attent to bash James' face with the pommel of his blade. Regardless of wether that worked, Lucas would attempt to topple over James with the forward momentum.

James crowded Lucas a bit, and as he attacked, he quickly sprung into a full-on defense. Barely managing to block the upward strike, he only dodged the bash through sheer luck, having moved to the side slightly to move his shield properly. However, when he was toppled over, he couldn't stop it, falling to the ground beneath Lucas. Trying to get up, he did his best to lift Lucas off of him with his shield, dropping his sword so that his blows would be fairly less lethal as he began to punch at his chest, face...anything he could reach, really.

Lucas fell on top of James, who immediately tried to get him off with his shield, to which he happily obliged. As he threw a punch at his face, he started to roll to James' left, which got him just out of reach, and once he was on the ground, quickly tried to get himself up before James could. Should he succeed at catching James still on the ground, James would be met with a blade in his face, ready to strike forward.

James was about to get up when he found Lucas's sword in his face, prompting a small smirk from him. "Easy, soldier. Victory to you. If you don't mind, I'll be standing up now."
When Lucas would lower his sword, James would stand up and grab his own sword, sheathing it before knocking some of the dust off his body and offering a hand to Lucas. "Well fought."

"Well fought indeed." Lucas gladly took the hand. That was one hell of a defender infront of him. "Say, how about, after I'm finished training, we meet at the mess hall and have a chat about this fight. I'll say it's one of the more memorable I've had recently. Definately worth a review, if you'd ask me."

James thought for a moment before giving Lucas a small nod. "Gladly. Talking over things might open our weak spots. I'll see you when your session is done." He then made to leave.
Later, he would go to eat lunch in the mess hall, buying a sandwich and a drink. He was in his normal clothing now, but the mess hall was nearly empty; Lucas would have no trouble finding him.

"Great, I'll see you then." Lucas got out of the pit and went to the dummies, since everyone was still sparring.
At the mess hall, Lucas scanned the mostly empty tables until he found James. Buying himself a sandwich of his own, he took a seat across the table and greeted James.
"Good day, soldier. I don't think I introduced myself. I am Lucas, although I also answer to Mirrorshield." A standard greeting, One which only his direct superiors and really important people did not get.

James nodded in reply. "Pleasure. James Marker. I don't go by anything else, not yet at least." He took a quick bite of his sandwich and thought for a moment. "I'll start off. Where'd you learn to fight like that? You're just a pathfinder, aren't you?" From his tone it was obvious he wasn't trying to be rude, merely asking a question.

Lucas took a quick gulp of his drink while he listened. "Yes, I am a pathfinder. I'm not sure if I apreciate being called 'just' a pathfinder. I have always been better with sword than bow, and my way of fighting is self-grown, although I won't discredit that certain weapon masters did give me some pointers. I grew up left handed, and through practise learned to mirror actions with my right hand."
He took a bite of his sandwich and thought for a second.
"From your actions, I assume you're a formation fighter. From your attitude, I see a defender-A good one. But I do wonder. What will you do if your enemy decides not to engage you, but to circle around you and attack your Lieutenant or Captain?"
