[ For some reason, his smile doesn't give her chills but she still doesn't TRUST IT so she narrows her eyes. ]
I would say you put on an act...
[ Stop sassing Kings, Asuna. After that, they make it to the courtyard. Asuna tries not to get all big-eyed at all the flowers and greenery but she's a hippie so she can't help it. ]
Oh!
[ A small sound leaves her in a breath and she looks around. The Alfersa definitely do well to worship their goddess. There's even a flower crown on one of the statues. The reminder causes her to look towards the small audience again and she can practically read their minds. Once she looks at Gil again, she tries to school her expression back to something more serious. Even if he wasn't arrogant, or male, she won't let anybody get the better of her. For the most part, she can pretend they're not there.
Once she gets psyched up for the duel, anyway.
Since he takes the other side, Asuna stands in her spot with her hand gripping her sheath and her other arm stretched across her body to grip the handle of her sword. He looks so relaxed and she feels her jaw tense. ]
That's fine. Also, I propose we don't use any magic. This is purely a test of our blades. [ She doesn't want this to be a fight to the death or anything. As he bows, Asuna draws her rapier and gets into a stance that might be very familiar to him -- as she learned it from Setsuna. Even the expression on her face is very calm and focused.
First move, her best. She inhales slowly, exhales. Then, her coiled muscles explode and her Pawn speed moves her fast enough that she's in front of Gil in almost the blink of an eye, her sword glinting ferociously and it comes at his shoulder first. ]
