Tahlem grunted when his strike was once again parried. He was fast...very fast. Jon was studying him, seeing what he could do. He better get a cheap strike off...and he sure had an idea how.
The wind around Tahlems weapon now spun around his Armour and he charged again, striking from another obvious position. Though if Jon went to block..the wind from around Tahlem would explode outward to cut and knock him back if he could not hold his ground or dodge it.

Jon stayed put as Tahlem turned around; he wasn't committing to any fight until he knew just what Tahlem could truly perform.
Seeing the wind circle around him made him ponder, however; could he create an electrical discharge against him? Possible... but he didn't want to risk a hit just yet.
Charging his Katana with electrical energy, he did a double parry, the first going for Tahlem's great-sword... and the second going directly against the wind; this prevented the wind from cutting into him, but the force still propelled him back - which is what he expected. Landing somewhat roughly, but recovering, he was just at the edge of the mat, holding his position as is.
Maybe it was time to show he didn't have just one blade... but that was a real emergency action, and he didn't need it just yet.

When Tahlem was parried once again he huffed. " Your bloody hard to hit do yah know that? Heh..just like a true Ionian." Jon was fast, even managing to block the wind strike. He placed his weapon over his shoulder and walked around Jon. That sword was electricity, it would be most unfortunate for a strike to land. He believed it was best he went on the defensive now to counter Jon's passiveness.
Tahlem did not strike this time, but waited for Jon to make a move.

Jon simply nodded at Tahlem's comment, then slightly tilted his head. Tahlem was now trying to play defensive as well...
...in that case, might as well reveal another thing he had.
With that, he took his left hand, and from his sheath, produced another Katana... the Fox blade. Bringing it out in a flourish, red and gray steel now spun in a small flurry, as he conditioned himself to dual-wielding for the first time.
Returning to a similar stance, holding both Katanas in parallel, he began to slowly move in a circle, but also moving up.
"Let's see how good two can work here..." he muttered to himself.

Tahlem watched Jon produce a second blade and frowned. This just became difficult. The wind began to swirl around his Armour again, he knew the extra defense would be needed. Better not not attack..who knows what else he will surprise with.
He brought his great-sword in front of him, holding it to be vertical with his body. When Jon began to approach he began to back up, not letting him gain any ground until he was backed up to the edge of the mat.

Jon noticed Tahlem keeping the distance; he wasn't sure whether or not he wanted it that way, for on one hand he wanted to be close enough to finally strike, but on the other hand he did not feel safe enough to fight just yet.
His suit's single red eye glinting at this situation, he stopped when Tahlem had reached the edge, keeping his position constant, Katanas in a parallel position. He kept this stance for a good minute.
Then, deciding he would finally try an attack, he sprinted the remaining distance, jumping, and slashing his Katanas at Tahlem's greatsword; if Tahlem didn't try anything out of the ordinary, he would then leap off of the strike by the momentum, return to his original position, and would continue from there.

Tahlem watched him carefully for another moment until he finally made a move. He brought his great sword up to block, like Jon intended, when the medic bounced off to his original position Tahlem charged back. He swung his sword to strike Jons head from the right, expecting him to block it.
If jon did so with his blades and did not duck it, Tahlem would kick Jon square in the middle of his chest to shove him back.
( Sorry jon! I been a bit slow, i know =P I will make better effort to post faster)

Though Tahlem could not see it, Jon smiled a bit when he saw the block and follow up swing; it only made sense that now he had made a defensive measure, he would now go back on the offensive.
However, he knew better than to just expect one attack, and so seeing the charging swing, he brought up one sword to knock it away, and then kept the other pointed out from in front of his abdomen, expecting an attack to hit him in said area. If there wasn't, he would simply land back into his original stance from before he went for the strike.
