All chances to uphold 'Chivalry' are gratefully received...
*He deliberately drops to the floor, His back hitting the floor with a heavy thud as both incoming hits pass over his head. Once on the floor, he wraps a right leg aroung her ankles, Heel to back of knee and uses it as a lever to get himself back off the floor. As Coriolis levers up, he plants a shoulder into Midnights mid-riff, effectively pushing and tripping her at the same time...*
Care for a sit down my dear? You look awfully tired...

*With a light thud Midnight lands on the floor...*
I don't feel tired at all....just warming up in fact.....
*With that Midnight shoves two hands against Janis and send's him up and over her, him landing with a slightly heavier thud than she did. Then as if years of practice kicked in the pair turned and stood up in a quick motion both aiming for the same place as the other and both blocking the attack.*
*This was practice...years of training together...years of "fighting" and practicing had made the pair eqally matched with the odd win either side. Yet this was all hidden from Midnight.*
* Her black wall keeping her from her past but things were begining to filter through...actions...words... her past and for a moment Midnight felt stuck between two worlds...her past and the present. For a few seconds she see's another Coriolis a younger one....both her and him dressed in white outfits and standing on mats with someone watching them.*
*With a shake of the head the image is gone and she is back in the dorms at the school.*

*He now stands facing her, almost exactly how they began less than a few seconds ago. Noticing the moments hesitation by his opponent, Coriolis catches her faltering fist in mid-air and pulls sharply. Knocking her off-guard and making her stumble forward.*
*While still holding her hand, another open-handed shove in the small of her back makes her literally crack like a whip across the room. Now a well timed heave and his opponent is hurtling head-first past him and away...*
[His voice dropped into low warning tones, a schoolteacher with an underperforming pupil]
Your slipping Rhiannon! You used to give better than this...

*Before another uncomfortable landing happens her body curves and the fall narrowly turns into a forward roll allowing Midnight to land comfortably and with ease even if it was only just.Midnight stands up and again turns to face Janis.*
I told you my name is Midnight....not Rhiannon and even if it was my name once it isin't now.
*As she talks she walks towards him and with the trick she used on Quill back in the Dungeons she put's her foot behind his ankle and pulls and at the same time pushing him over bringing him down to size.*

*... and indeed he goes down... Heavily...*
*He finds himself once more lying on his back,on the floor betwen two of the dormitory beds. In a flash of inspiration Coriolis does an unexpected thing. Rather than get up, he rolls underneath the bed alongside the rooms open window...*

*Midnight pauses for a couple of second's to see if anything happen but there's nothing. Looking under the bed was not the best thing to do but the bed was next to a wall so that would be no help. There was only one more thing left to do.. Climb the bed...so as ligtly as she could Midnight got onto the bed and waited........*

*sigh* It's been long said that curiosity would kill the cat... *Lying on the foor underneath, Coriolis squares his shoulders to the floorboards and gives an almighty heave. The bed plus Female Watcher lurches upward and tips sideways under the combined weight of both. Dumping Midnight and a claw laden duvet clean out of the open window...* *Coriolis is back out and up on his feet just in time to hear a strangled yelp and the sound of breaking boughs...* ........... You OK down there?....................

Humph.....guess I deserved that one after earlier. *Midnight get's up slowly and removes the cover from herself and looks up to Janis.* Why don't you come on down?? I'll catch you....

[Not trusting her tone] Yes, I'm sure you will...... *He stands in the window frame and steps off the edge. Plummeting the 4 stories from the dormitory like a stone...* *In mid-drop, The Tiger re-appears. Claws drawn to catch on to the trees when his catcher presumably steps aside... The straight drop becomes a looping and somersaulting flight from branch to branch as altitude is lost at a breakneck speed...*

*Midnight smiles and watches the tiger go from branch to branch slowly slowing down and then at almost the last second land on the ground safely.*
Well you didn't even need me to catch you....

*A White/Black striped tail wraps around her neck and pulls her backward. As she falls, the tiger becomes Human and catches her in his arms... The Cheshire Cat grin plain for all to see...* But it appears that you needed me.... Never drop your guard Rhiannon... The battles you fight are never over until ALL say they are over... *Being gentle for perhaps the first time that night, he lays her down on the ground and takes a few steps back to avoid any potential retaliation...*

*If in the last few minutes Midnight's anger had calmed it shot through the roof as he talked to her.Getting up her eye's glaring ice fire and her jewel glowing like ice in the sun.*
I don't need you. I want you out of my life I want you to leave me and Mog alone. You go your way we go ours. I've tried to get rid of you twice yet you refuse to take the hint.
*Then a idea struck.*
I challenge you to a bout...

*One eye-brow raises, making his expression seem haughty.*
A bout you say! After a display like this? Do you really think that you still hold the skill to complete such a challenge?
What is to be the wager, young waif?

Yes I do...the wager.
*Midnight smiles.*
If you win you join me and Mog and I'll run no more but if I win....you let me and Mog go and you leave us alone....for good.

*He's momentarily taken aback. His oathes to the order never prepared him for THIS... Desperately regaining his inner compsure ,the outward thankfully only registering a flinch, he takes a moment to compose his reply to the challenge...* That would be a heavy price to pay... For both of us.... [His expression becoming severe] Know this then young Rhiannon:- The battle will not end until BOTH sides know it... This is a challenege that cannot be won or lost lightly... *The Dirk is drawn and held by the blade. As Midnight watches, a small drip of blood dribbles along the metal.* CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!!!! *A flash of metal screams across her shoulder and a loud thunk echoes behind her. The blade juts out from the tree... A lock of jet-black hair mixing with the fresh blood...*
