[Riku's grinning as she starts forward again, taking a step back to keep the distance between them as he watches. He waits for her to be at the very top of one sweep, then steps in to reflect the downward strike--when someone's coming at you like that, the only option is to break it. He follows that up with a gentle strike towards her unprotected side--the best reaction would probably be just to jump away from it, as trying to put the staff inbetween the sword and her body might be troublesome.]
Did Samus teach you any sort of drills?
[Probably. He can't imagine why she wouldn't. And while this slow, mock spar might be fun, it might be easier to work through drills so that when the attacks came in an actual spar she could resort to muscle memory in blocking.
Still, Kairi's trying new things instead of just the same old tricks, and that's a good sign.]
