North placed one leg over the other and rested his foot upon his other leg's knee, opening the menu and taking a look. He hoped that the waitress had rushed back to bring him some coffee, as it would be nice to have a cup as he decided what to eat. What sounds good? He thought to himself, not sure exactly what he was hungry for. North wanted to have a somewhat light breakfast so as not to feel bloated during the rest of his sightseeing today. While he was deciding, the waitress indeed returned with a cup of coffee, and she shakily approached him and placed it on the table in front of him, a blush clearly visible across her face. "H-Have you decided yet, sir?" She asked, obviously embarrassed to see a naked man in front of her. "I'll still need another moment." North replied, returning his eyes to the menu. He smirked behind the paper, amused at the girl's animated reactions. Some people sure get flustered easily. He thought to himself with a chuckle. He then returned his attention to the menu, still unable to decide on something to order.

He returned to his soup with a mumble, "Who walks into a PUBLIC cafe like this, i mean seriously have some decency. " He gave the waitress a wave and waited for her to come over. "Could i have a glass of water please?" He asked politely. He sat back in his chair waiting for his water, and eyeing this...nudist.

Since it would likely be a moment before the waitress returned for either of them, North decided to ask the man for a spar. It certainly couldn't hurt to ask, at the worst he would refuse and after their meals they'd both go their separate ways. "Excuse me, sir." He called over, waving at the man eating the soup. "Would you be interested in having a light spar after our meals? You look fit enough to enjoy some exercise." He said, his voice tinged with the lilt of excitement.

Looking up he said, "sure, why not?" So with a calming relax he went back to his soup and waited calmly for his water. After the waitress returned he took the water and thanked the waitress. he leaned back in his chair and waiting for his opponent to finish. Personally he didn't want to lose, but that was all part of the process. Quietly he went over his spells, he didn't plan on letting the nudist know, he was a wizard, but he knew it would happen eventually. So it was best to know what to do first.

North picked up his napkin from the table and dabbed the corners of his mouth and set his silverware on top of his plate, letting out a single satisfied belch as he did so. He then placed the jewel for his meal on the table and stood up from his chair. "I'm ready to go if you are." He'd say, pointing a single thumb behind his back towards the door. "Prolly best to get a bit outside of the town though. Wouldn't want any unnecessary interruptions." He'd say, thinking that the guards might at least stop to ask them what they were doing, if not arrest them entirely, were they found to be brawling in the streets. He was excited to get his blood pumping after his meal, and he felt himself fidgeting a bit in impatience as he stood.

Quickly he reached over grabbed his sweatshirt from his chair and placed it closely against his tight-fit shirt. he stepped away from the table, trying to hide his white lamia scale tattoo on his foot with his other foot, he leaned down and grabbed his flip-flops, holding them in his hand. I really don't want to tell this nudist my name, he thought I'll just use my middle name, Aran. With a quick smile he looked up and said, "oh my name is Aran Assama by the way." I really hope Assama won't get mad at me for using her name. he thought. Dane glanced at North-the-nudist, judging his character, he seemed like someone he could learn from, even if North had no idea he was learning from him. "I'm ready to go." He told North-the-nudist. He placed the needed money on the table and waited for North.
Dane was still unsure about North, and with many years of reading people, North definitely raised some serious flags for him. But a fight was a fight, and even if he was beaten terribly by North-the-nudist it wouldn't matter because he would probably never see this man again in his life. He leaned against the chair of the table waiting for north's response, wondering how this fight would end up.

His acquaintance introduced himself as Aran Assama, which North couldn't help but chuckle just a little bit at. Heh, ass. He thought to himself, thinking it a bit childish of him, but funny just the same. He had a bit of a weakness for toilet humor that he hadn't been able to kick since childhood. "Nice to meet you, Aran." He said, unable to utter his surname without cracking a smile. "I suppose I'll be following your lead, so after you." North continued, stepping aside and motioning his arm towards the door as if he were a butler. As he bowed his head he thought he caught a glimpse of something white on Aran's foot, and wondered if he might have spilled something but decided not to say anything because it looked like he was trying to cover it and might be embarrassed.

North seriously concerned Dane, something about the way he acted caught him off guard, but he decided to ignore it. So he headed towards the door and swung it open. Right away he headed through the winding Crocus roads, not bothering to check for North-the-nudist. He followed the little map in his head, left, left, right,left,straight, and right. Right in front of him was a big open field, with some roots that dane had casually decided not to mention. With a smirk He wondered out to the field and called to North, " I'm ready when you are!"
Sun Nov 13, 2016 6:24 pm
Eventually, North followed Aran out into an open field of short grasses with and various large roots running up and down through the ground in various places. It seemed they had to be on the Northern part of Crocus, and this must be part of the extensive root system produced by the Worth Woodsea. Aran seemed to be wanting to get right into things, and North could certainly get behind such a notion. Still, he couldn't help but make a bit of small talk as he stretched. He'd just eaten, and he didn't want to get any cramps. "This is a nice spot. Thanks for showing it to me. I'm still not going easy on you, though." North said, winding up his right shoulder and stretching a bit to get ready. He'd keep an eye on Aran, assuming he wouldn't try to strike while he was preparing himself, but being a bit careful just the same. Once finished, North would return to a relaxed position, and assuming Aran hadn't acted he'd get into a boxing pose, beginning his approach warily from a distance of seven meters. He'd approach with both his arms raised in front of him, his feet light and prepared to dodge and bob and weave as he continued closing in. He'd make sure not to close in more than two meters until Aran took a stance of his one however.
Sun Nov 13, 2016 10:14 pm
Dane wondered out into the field about seven meters away from North. Watching the man approach he took a stance. he'd stretch his legs out just enough so he could easily swipe at his legs, he'd also raise his arms about chest height and prepare his hands with a flat motion to hit north on his bare skin if he approached to close. He'd scan the gras looking for the protruding roots. " Come at me!" he yelled.
Tue Nov 15, 2016 6:21 pm
North's favored fighting style was slightly less effective in an area with such uneven footing, but the challenge was a bit more fun that way. He closed the distance in just over a second, stopping just under a meter away and a bit to the left of his opponent where his punch would have the perfect amount of reach. From there, North raised his left forearm diagonally across his face to protect himself and quickly brought back his right arm with a snap motion before launching it into Aran's undefended gut. With his face entirely guarded by his left forearm, and his crouched body defending his own pectoral and gut regions, there was very little room for his opponent to counter. Large roots surrounded both of the men on either side, so dodging to the left or right carelessly could cause his opponent to lose footing. If Aran lowered his guard to defend himself North would follow up with another strike, if he tried to back off North would pursue. The nudist pugilist had already registered where the roots were behind himself, so he'd know where to avoid if he was forced back, but he didn't much consider that a possibility. If he had to take a few punches to stay up close and personal, he would.

Dane had watched North's every step, breath, arm movement, learning from it, making himself better. He had watched the roots, carefully mapping out where they were, so he could use them as a trip for north or propulsion for him. He was ready.
North's first attack had been a little-bit of a surprise but Dane was ready. He'd quickly side-step just enough inwards that he wouldn't hit any roots then he'd grab North's punching arm and use his own momentum against him to flip him over. Unfortunately this was one of the only moves dane would be able to calculate, he would watch North and learn his style but he still preferred the fun of a battle. Assuming his atack on North had worked he would steadily walk back a couple of feet, preparing his next stance. He'd take the same exact one as he had before.
Fri Nov 25, 2016 8:01 pm
It would take North a second to regain his footing after being thrown off balance and, assuming Aran had went through with his initial plan of moving a few steps backwards, North would close in at the same pace and tried his best to maintain about a meters worth of distance between the two, just out of range for a punch. North continuously glanced around himself at the roots, ensuring that he knew where to keep his footing so that he wouldn't be backed into a corner or placed into a position in which it would be more difficult for him to dodge. "You got some quick moves there, Aran. Where'd you learn that fancy footwork?" North would ask in a friendly tone as he continued advancing towards the man. He proceeded forward with his right foot in front of the left, almost hopping forward rather than walking. His chin was tucked in, and his left elbow was tucked into his gut, the fist extending up across his chest to guard himself. The right hand was slightly lower and held slightly in front of him, ready to unleash a quick jab or hook whenever the opportunity presented itself.

Unfortunately for North, something else was coming full on. It seemed that the mushroom omelette he had eaten earlier was not agreeing with him, and Dane's punch had apparently knocked something loose on his insides. He made a pained and slightly embarrassed expression as he let out a restrained fart. "Uh, I'm gonna have to rain check this fight. We'll call it a draw for now." North said, turning around and breaking into a full sprint towards the nearby treeline so he could have some privacy. He may have been a nudist, but he didn't want anyone watching him do his business or anything.
