Mind sparring with me for a bit? Not really my idea of a fun time, but given our situation, I figure it's not a good idea for my lessons back in the castle to go to waste.
And I used my ability earlier, and it turns out that giving up my sense of touch means I don't feel any pain either, so hey, now's as good of a time as any to get beaten up.
[in that case, Sanji's hands slide into his pockets. Is Belph aware he fights only with his legs? Well, he's about to find out when Sanji lunges and will lodge a foot into his ribcage unless he moves.]
[kind of unusual, but belph dodges, dashing to the side. his hand twitches, because this is probably the part where shirasu would, like, stab his opponent and belph unfortunately takes more cues from his murderous ninja partner than steph, but.]
There are no knives or swords from Sanji. But as a trade-off, he's relentless in how he chases after Belph. The next attack isn't a kick, but a swipe at the other's feet, trying to throw him off-balance.]
[while the first kick was relatively easy to dodge because belph knew it was coming, the swipe is harder and so it connects. belph trips. it is also incredibly weird, for the record, because he can't actually even feel sanji's attack land.
he recovers quickly enough, at least, and at this point he figures he might as well fight dirty, so he pulls out a dart and throws it right at sanji.]
Partly because he wasn't expecting such a move, sneaky Belph, but also because he has no issues with catching the dart into his shoulder when he pivots, uncaring if hurts or stays there. Relentless and reckless. A great combo]
Ha! Not bad.
[Gonna just. Leap over to whatever Belph is, determined to keep up the pressure, and it's followed up with a series of sharp side-kicks aimed for the torso]
[he has a limited supply of non-magically created darts,
anyway jan is terrible at fights, why did i start this, but. we'll say he dodges some, gets hit by some. though either way, even if combat isn't his forte, retaining info and thinking is, so he probably tries to return a (non-dart) hit when he has room to counterattack.]
But yeah there is kicky and leggy and darts now, and all belph needs to know is Sanji is a tornado of a man who doesn't really stop. Overwhelming his opponents until they're dead? Yeah, probably why he was made an Editor.
He's pleased upon seeing Belph retaliate. Good job, sir, even if Sanji purposefully takes the hit just so he can try and launch poor Beph across the room with another kick.

... It's not ideal, but I braced myself for this kind of thing back in the castle.
no subject
[He's still unhappy hearing this shit, and his features set into concern]
Well, we'll just. keep it in mind. There's no guarantee that the rule about one team winning will pan out, or even what that entails.

[...]
This isn't really relevant, but got some time?
no subject
[Looking briefly surprised because Belph rarely asks anything of him that isn't work-related, so.]
What do you need?

Fine, I'm in. You remember how I fight though, right?

no subject
oh dear, Sanji has a concern]
Well, before we start... keep my way of fighting to yourself for now, could ya? I don't think even the people from the castle know.
[More to the point, they have no idea how Sanji uh... murdered half of their ranks]
I expect shit to get ugly while we're here, so the more aces I got up my sleeves, the better.
no subject
I assume it won't be a lot of fun to be on the receiving end, but that's also why I'm asking while I can't feel shit anyway.
But roger that.
no subject
Time to find a spot so Sanji can literally kick his ass. Jesus. He still has so many fears. AND ALSO--]
How much fighting can you do? You know any basic self-defense?
no subject
no subject
Let's try this.
I want you to try and dodge. Do it however you like, but the goal is to avoid my attack, even if that means laying me out. Got it?
no subject
Got it.

... He asked for this spar. No complaints.]
