[ kara is giving the pole a dubious look, but you know what? who cares. if flayn is confident with a subpar weapon, who is he to complain? leaving the sheath on his sword, he falls into a ready stance, and waits for her to do the same, or to take the initiative. ]
[it's close enough to what she uses, so. it'll do, at least until she finds a way to get her hands on a real lance.
(please no one give her a real lance.)
at any rate, what she has going for her with this type of weapon is mainly her reach and her speed - so she lunges forward to take the initiative, jabbing at kara as soon as she's within range, shifting her weight from one foot to another in anticipation of needing to dodge. when it comes to strength, kara surely has her beat, so she'd like to avoid a direct blade-on-"blade" confrontation.]
