@thedancingblade vs. @seriika Coin Toss: Laslow strikes first

“That young man... Is it just me, or does he resemble Lady Olivia? If I didn’t know any better, I’d say they could be related.”

"That's Soleil's father, who I mentioned in an earlier match. I'd say he looks more like Inigo, if anything. Though I suppose that's the same thing?"

LASLOW: 8 strike v. 11 defense

CELICA: 9 strike v. 5 defense

Laslow is struck by Celica’s beauty and the thought occurs to him that he should tell her this, make her feels special, maybe ask her to tea after the fight-- WOOPS! He zones back in just in time to not get knocked to the ground.

LASLOW: 7 strike v. 7 defense

The two lock swords and Laslow does actually tell Celica that he thinks her footwork is superb. He then turns and practically dancing back to regain some ground, but. . .

CELICA: NAT 20 STRIKE v. 7 defense

Celica gives him no quarter, pursuing and closing the gap. She lunges with two fast strikes and hits Laslow for double points.

“They’re so nimble! I’m very impressed, Chrom, Lady Celica is excelling so far.”

"Inig- Laslow, keep your eyes on her blade and not her gender. Maybe then you'll see her switch target areas in time."

LASLOW: 4 strike v. 6 defense

CELICA: 3 strike v. 4 defense

LASLOW: 6 strike v. 3 defense

CELICA: 10 strike v. 3 defense

LASLOW: 9 strike v. 17 defense

CELICA: 3 strike v. NAT 1 DEFENSE

Celica draws in close again and Laslow attempts to dodge. But his dancer’s feet aren’t enough to avoid not one, but two strikes by Celica, who against scores double on him. Somehow, Laslow doesn’t see too upset, he almost seems to be enjoying the loss, as he’s quite happy for the beautiful young lady taking the prize.

LASLOW PEONY BONUS: 10 strike v. 6 defense (Chrysanthemum)

“That Laslow fellow looks to be quite the charmer. Even as he lost, he’s already bowing with a flourish and offering to treat Lacy Delica to a celebratory lunch. How sweet!”

"If nothing else, Laslow has got a gentleman's charm going for him. We've not see many duelist's bows yet either - it's refreshing to see it on both sides."

ship : lars & laslow

@thedancingblade​

Funny, you look like somebody who should be representing Ylisse. Must be a coincidence...

Laurent: What’s that supposed to be?

Inigo: It’s re-morse code.

The circlet wearing woman pauses and slowly raises an eyebrow. Blue scan over the hand and shortly after she lets her lips curl into a pleased little smile as she reaches her’s out as well to curl into his palm.
