For a moment that seemed to drag, Marluxia stood, neck bared and blade much too close for comfort. Lumi had stopped short of slitting his throat, as discussed, but that didn't make Marluxia feel any better about having got that close to the sharp end of Lumi's weapon.
He had his head and body tilted away from the sword, and flicked his eyes up from that, to Lumi.
A flurry of petals at his outflung fingertips signalled the scythe's reappearance, and Marluxia wasted no time taking a firm grip of the handle and swinging upwards, blade skimming the ground and doing to a few blades of grass what Lumi had refrained from doing to Marluxia's neck as it came up towards Lumi again.
Round two began with less hesitance than its predecessor.
