[He tugs on the ties of the narrow leather hood that covers the tip of his spear, to make sure that it's well in place. He trusts both his skill and hers enough to spar with live steel, but it's a slight reassurance if he fails to pull a blow in time.
[With a quick nod, he drops the spear to his side, then steps back and swings it towards her in a broad downward arc. They test and circle and duck for a moment, neither quite serious yet, but Hawk expects to sport a few bruises and cuts at the end of the bout.
It really wouldn't serve its purpose if either of them got off too easy.]
