Outside - Pirate vs Ninja

[ginsu_master]

Leo breaks the surface of the lake with a great heave of water. He lets out a bit of a laugh to himself and pushes his hair out of his eyes.

New York is New York. Unless he wants to mutant himself even more by taking a dip in the Hudson, Milliways it is if he wants a dip in fresh water outside of heading back out to Yonkers. Really, he shouldn't go out for evening dives in the lake. Somehow, he always meets the oddest people.

But, it is such a lovely night!

He wades back to shore toward his shirt and carefully wrapped swords, shaking out his hair as he goes.

"Ah."

Jack nods.

"Well, then. If that's the way of things."






And then he's off and running, having bolted in the direction of the bar.

Did the pirate forget the whole ninja thing? Jack, meet Leo's foot.

"AaaaahhhhOOF--"

He manages to turn his sprawling fall into something of a roll, and comes up on his feet--

--tzing--

--with his sword in hand and pointed at Leonardo.

"That'll be quite enough of that. Keep your distance, mate, I'm warning you."

Black eyes are glittering with near-feral wildness.

Leo kicks the bottom of Jack's sword baring hand with the ball of his foot, and uses the momentum to flip himself over into a backhand spring. He grabs up both his swords, and is already flipping back toward Jack, one sword in defensive posture, the other in parry.

Jack growls an oath, snatches his sword up from the inlet beach, and waits for the opportune moment.

As Leo flips upright once more, Jack lets him have a hard fistful of sand in the face, and then bolts for the bar a second time while the other man's blinded.

[ginsu_master]

"Fu--"

Leo wipes the sand from his eyes, and that gives Jack the precious few seconds to escape back toward the bar.

"Pirates."

And gives a running leap.
