She had few would be warriors step forth to make their oaths but perhaps that was for the best, for the time being. She inclined her head to the pair, pleased to see that Laufey had chosen to join her here, pleased to see his eagerness, but pleased also to see that a member of Ebony had chosen to remain and to take the oaths as well. It would go far toward integrating the groups together. "As I am certain you have already presumed, the two of you shall face each other in a spar. I do not want either of you dead or permanently disabled, but otherwise I do not wish to see you hold back. I cannot properly judge how you will fight in a battle if you pull your blows. Go - I will stop you when I have seen enough." Mercury eyes watched them closely as her words fell over the pair, as interested in how they handled her orders as she was with their skill.
OOC: So it's going to end up being Vereux vs Laufey. Two rounds only please, and defaults will apply. I want this done quickly so I can move on. Whether you win or lose is somewhat irrelevant since she would be looking at more than just who wins, but do your best because these are elite warrior positions.
