Mauve resisted the urge to make a face at her weapon. A bow. Fantastic, seeing as her archery skill was nonexistant at best. And worst, because it was a scale of absolute zero to absolute zero. Sighing, she shifted it into its secondary form, a standard enough blade. It was longer than she was used to, but the width of her normal blades made the two weapons close enough in weight that it wouldn't take too long to get used to. As for the handle, she tossed it to her right, the bow and katana forms would be of no use to her. The blade she kept in her right, dominant hand, while in her left... a fire Dust arrow. Creativity. This'd be interesting.
Her opponent seemed to be quite happy with her weapons, a greatsword and circular shield. That could mean that she was a blade wielder normally, too bad Mauve didn't know what kind, that would've helped to even the odds that currently were not. Or perhaps she was a shield user. Or even a hand-to-hand combatant if you thought creatively. Perhaps one of those annoying all-around fighters, like Nathan. At worst Saffron could also utilize that particular combo normally too. 'Enough worrying.'
She gave her oppnent a small smile and a curt nod in return to her words. "Well, I'm hoping it doesn't come down to luck," Mauve responded smoothly. Still smiling softly, the girl twirled her blade around a few times, hoping to disguise the trick she'd learnt to get used to different weights faster as simply dallying around. As she finished, Mauve moved into a defensive position, waiting for Saffron to make the first move.
