[He knows Peter is upset but he hadn't expected him to be this upset. Of course... this Peter hasn't lost his Kingdom, his people, Tumnus, the Beavers, Sallowpad......
Thinking like that is not going to do a damned thing for Edmund. But he knows all too well that a hanging target will not be nearly enough for Peter to really vent his emotions. Edmund doesn't have all of his skills, perhaps, but he has his blades and that is enough for now. He really needs to invest in some armor, especially if they're going to keep training like this.
Peter strikes, falls back into his positions, one after another... And the next strike doesn't thump against fabric but instead clashes against another blade, a skillful parry but predictable. He pushes back against Peter's sword, waits for him to ease off before settling back on his heels.]
His friend awoke after some time, I'm sure he will too.
[He shifts his weight, kicking Peter's shield towards him. It falls flat a foot or two ahead of him, between them. There but not as easily accessible as it could be. A clear challenge. Take it if you can, Brother.]
Afternoon, of course
