[ Lucius had certainly praised Eridanus in the aftermath of his duel with AMโto his face, and to others, bragging like some proud parent over the accomplishment of his child. For as much as Eridanus had enjoyed it, though, that was only the precursor to this true reward: the two of them cloistered within the walls of the Cube, locked into a new duel.
It's different than the first duel they had waged between each otherโas much thanks to Lucius' attitude as any improvements Eridanus has made. Any other time, and Lucius would press in with a relentless offense, aiming to prove his superiority within the span of seconds; now, he hasn't raised either of his blades in attack once. It's almost flirtatious, the way Lucius has done nothing but parry Eridanus' strikes, skirting in circles just barely within the reach of his consort's weapons. ]
Very good, Eridanus, [ he hums, his branching tail flicking playfully behind him. ] You almost managed to hit me that time.
