The limits of Marluxia's fighting style were showing. Being at too much of a distance meant that he didn't have a hope of hitting an enemy with his scythe, variable reach or not. However, if he was too close he could certainly suffer under these circumstances.
A gun would take him out, as would a quick move and a small amount of effort to get close enough to slide a knife between his ribs. Such observations would be useless against his usual methods of fighting, however.
The situation would be different with his magic to back up what he could achieve with the weapon. He could force an opponent back with any number of spells and counter with them. It would make his fighting style more unpredictable and infinitely more dangerous. Lumi wondered if, once Marluxia had learned to keep his scythe in play for an indefinite amount of time, he would be called upon to fight him using his magic also, to see how he did with the scythe and that new drain on his Chakra.
That would prove interesting.
Lumi watched him jump back and put himself well out of his reach. Marluxia had started using Chakra enhanced moves, a sign that he was getting used to how much Chakra Graceful Dahlia typically used up in combat. He took up a more defensive pose as he came at him, wanting to see Marluxia's attack patterns as well as drive him back to put a strain on his ability. Both should have an effect on the Chakra amount used and both should be beneficial to Marluxia's training.
