Sabynha removes her magical bracelets and takes a deep breath. She begins to hum and then sing while increasing the speed of her dance, making circles around Rain.Then, with little warning, she draws her sword and charges toward her dance partner with a twirling flourish. It looked good but clearly Rain had been paying attention to the vistani's moves previously, and she was able to sidestep the charge.Undeterred, Sabynha let her momentum carry her past Rain and into the path of the tree that had recently been on fire. She kicked off the trunk, lunging back toward Rain in a move that, this time, surprised her. Sabynha winced as she cut past her friend's defences. The attack should have been enough to leave a thin, red line on the tiefling's skin, but somehow it did not.The fury of the dance only served to refocus Rain's defensive magic and skillful parries, even as Sabynha reversed the direction of her dance to try for another surprise manoeuvre. Rain was ready, and her magical ward repelled the dancing assault and its rain of blows again with little difficulty. Sabynha followed up with an overhead slicing cartwheel; impressive-looking, but easily dodged. Against an ill-prepared foe, it might have been fatal.Recovering from the missed swing by going into a dive-roll tumble, she sprang to her feet and reversed into another flat-out charge, one which punched through Rain's magical ward and brought the curved vistani blade dangerously close to her neck. The tiefling managed to bring her sword up just in the nick of time, and planted her left foot for stability, before shoving Sabynha away with great force. The lithe dancer used this shove to end the dance; she grabbed Rain's arm with her buckler hand, and flung her. The two dance partners spiralled apart like autumn leaves caught in a breeze.Panting, Sabynha bowed to her partner, and smiled, "You dance well."With that, she buckled her bracers back on, and looked to the unicorns for their reaction.[sblock=dancing results]<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3845221/" target="_blank">1d20+8=11, 1d20+8=26, 1d20+8=19, 1d20+8=13, 1d20+8=22</a>[/sblock]</blockquote>
