"Like I have a choice?!" He said to her ready or not. Though he oddly seemed more relaxed then he let on to be by his talking. Truth of it was he was thinking on something, he didn't have to hold back as much now. Without the demonic powers he had no real risk of losing control of his powers. Well there was a drow rage but that wouldn't happen due to a spar that was for sure. Either way he already knew she was going to win. Even if he stood a good chance he wasn't going to win, not here.

As she charged forward her blades drawn he stayed right where he was and waited for her to be close enough before bringing the blade up to block her strike. This was a bit unexpected to her probably, seeing as most of the time that she tried to spar him he tried to avoid clashing the weapons at all, let alone getting this close to her.

This little show of blocks and doges went on for a few strikes before he found the opening he wanted and went for it, though he more or less made the strike slower then what was needed so she could block it but the speed change be undetected. Vaden caught this though.. then again he had been around enough years to know what skills Zek had and when he was holding back. He wouldn't say a word though, he knew why he was holding back. It was a matter of pride here, beating her in a spar on her own soil would probably be the worse outcome.

In truth this little spar seemed to go back and forth for a long while, not once did she manage to get close enough for her to land a blow, then again on the flip side he couldn't either. If he was trying a bit harder to hit her he was sure she would have landed a few of the openings, but he wasn't going to be that bold out of the chance he might land a strike. At the least it was about time the guards here got to see a fight where their princess was trying, none of them could put forth a great enough challenge to last this long.

Though Zek also knew he was going to end this soon enough, a simple slip up would work. Something she wouldn't think twice about if it happened. The longer this went on the more into the fight she seemed to get and he was noticing that her strikes were getting harder, granted a few times she left herself open as well for a brief second. It was better to end it soon before she got too carried away.
