Sephiroth's katana meets with Rukia's on each strike as she pushes into offense; first up and then having to drop down and back quickly to step around where her low sweep would have taken his fore-leg off at the knee. Steel rings against steel, the only sound in the training hall besides the noises made in physical efforts as the spar carries on.
He doesn't ever extend his offensive flurry more than three or four strikes in and that's only if he's lucky enough for Rukia to give the opportunity. Sephiroth's keenly aware of defense as much as offense especially as he knows he doesn't have the range advantage he'd have with Masamune. Not only has he been trained for most of his life, but there is something about his movements which sings with natural talent.
Startling eyes meet brightened dark ones as the spar carries on to the point where each of them might start to work up a sweat. She's not the only one starting to enjoy this. It's been a great long time since Sephiroth has sparred with anyone.]
