With enough time to see the attack coming, Kelly would do something practically suicidal. She charged straight for Lamina, her left hand in a claw formation with the rapier still in front. As the two forced approached Kelly would duck down just enough to grab for Lamina's own blade with her gloved hand. The distance between said hand and her own rapier was enough that she would be able to both stop the attack and strike Lamina square in the ribcage in one fell swoop. If it failed, chances are Lamina would retain her record.

Practically suicidal was an understatement if such were possible. She bent her arm at the elbow, raising her sword from its trajectory to avoid her opponent's grasp. She twisted left at the hips and leaned back a bit, sending her sword into a direct interception of Kelly's thrust to the inside crux of her arm as she sought to avoid the strike, which would still end up grazing just slightly against her stomach.

With Lamina's sword preoccupied keeping Kelly's sword away from causing too much harm, Kelly was free to finish her advance. Suddenly charging forward, she reached out to grab Lamina by the shoulder with her free hand.
Should she be successful, a moment would go by before Kelly dropped the angry look and became more relaxed.
"Huh...didn't think that'd work, to be honest." She said in her normal calmer voice. Eventually she dropped the sword to her side and backed away.
"Sorry for being a dick just now...I was trying out something. I didn't mean any of it."

Lamina's sword crashed into the inside of Kelly's elbow, just as Kelly was about to crash into her. The whole melee was a violent mess. Lamina was just jutting out her own right elbow, now a natural weapon against Kelly's advance, when she felt the hand upon her shoulder. Lamina stopped fighting, and stepped away, but she wasn't as quick to transform back to baseline.
".......... Hmph."

Kelly chuckled. She turned around and walked back to the baseline without looking back just yet.
"No, no, I deserve it. See, I can't beat you in a straight fight. No chance in hell, you're miles above me. The only way I stand a chance?"
At the baseline she spun back around on one heel and looked Lamina up and down.
"Dirty tactics. No sand here so I can't splash it in your face. No magic allowed so I can't use sparking crystals or potions. Best I can do is unnerve you by acting like a crazy person. See, you're a trained professional, I'm just a thug. the only reason I know how to use this sword is because otherwise I'd be run through by people in heavy armor with swords larger than my body. And as you can imagine, a rapier can only do so much against something like that. I compensate lack of experience with underhanded tactics because it's what gets me by."
As she spoke her rapier laid on her shoulder and her free hand on her hip, leaning on one leg.
"You're right, it was a dick move and I'm sorry for doing that to you, but I wanted to see what it would do to someone who knew what they were doing. It's up to you if you want to continue, I understand if you don't."

Lamina stood quietly there for a moment, calming somewhat from her state of agitation. Lamina had fought her fair share of crazies, and never had it done them any good. And this time too, she did not attribute Kelly's ferocity this match to her attempt at intimidation, but in overcoming her attack and guard that she issued twice as a test. Yet there was something truly jarring about Kelly's aggression, and as Lamina was usually the one in that position, she herself hadn't seen it coming.
"You learn quickly... but sand...." she said, recalling her fight with a man named Tobias in another arena, "...no. Just no. Try that, and I would kill you.."

"Hmph. Then I'd die with a smile knowing you were the one to kill me." Kelly retorted with a shrug.
"Anyway, what do you want to do now? Do you want to take a break?"

Lamina raises her sword once more, taking her stance, stepping back two paces.
"I'll go as long as you'd like."

After a relatively small or lengthy vetting process depending on ones sensibilities, Fenris found his way to the arena, only to find Lamina and a comparitively older female. He huffed again. "Did not expect to run into you here..."

"Friend of yours?"
Kelly gestured to Fenris off to the side before sheathing her rapier.
"I need a break anyway. You two should catch up." She said as she left the arena center.

"Um. Yeah..." Lamina didn't expect to see him either. He always seemed to turn up randomly and at the strangest of times. "Hi, Fenris.." She waves meekly.

"I heard there was a tournament coming up..." he told her, she seemed more surprised to see him than he did her, but he had not come around these parts for a while.

"Yes... I just heard about it too. It's across a sea, but you can get there by ship. I might go watch, offer practice, that sorta thing... but I did the last one, so I think I'll sit this one out."
Lamina returned to the corner where her scabbard had been laying, and put her sword away.

"I see... That seems pretty far... I suppose I shouldn't linger over long then if I want to make it... Who is your friend?" he asked referring to Kelly.

"Oh, um, this is Kelly. We only just met, she wanted some practice," she said, gesturing in a manner as to encourage him to introduce himself to her and all that stuff.

He looked at Kelly and tilted his head slightly giving her a once over, eyes lingering on her weapons. Hello Kelly." he said nodding.

He narrowed his gaze slightly, and shrugged at her in reply. He scratched the back of his head awkwardly. "Am I interupting anything?"
