:: He ignores the look on Alanna's face, knowing what he was delibrately doing to what friendship they had formed. She was so much like.... but he mustn't think of that. He sighs, returning his thoughts to the lesson. "Next form: Backhand slash. Works best if you come from a block or something on the right-hand side, or if you can get your blade up enough to get momentum in time. Point up past your shoulder, a touch behind, pommel a forearm's length from your shoulder. Swing down in a broad diagonal slash, aimed at either your opponent's neck or you can duck and slash and aim for their legs. To block, you'll have to swing your blade up to catch the slash full on, with a backhanded block. If your pommel starts on the right side, thrust it upward slightly and to the right, with your arm halfway extended. This block is weaker than the others, so you have to get a good swing and hold steady when the blow falls." ::
