She blinked at the compliment, but said nothing and watched as the other ghoul moved away.
And then older ghoul did a whirling lunge and she got bashed, hard - Davyne wheezed and staggered, only just keeping her balance from the sheer force of it. "N-no, do not be sorry - it is all practice," she gasped.
Although mostly practice in taking a hit, so far. Attempting to rectify this, she moved a few steps and summoned her whip before lashing out with it - still unsteady on her feet, the hit wasn't the greatest, but at least it actually connected to the target.

The sight of Davyne stuck on the ground like that made her throat feel tight for a few moments. She had done that. Oh Jack. Was the ghoul okay? She hadn't dissipated, but she was on the floor...
When Davyne declared her strong, Serafina flushed. "I'm sorry," again, because she hadn't apologized quite enough yet, of course, "I didn't know that would hit that hard..."
The ghoul cleared her throat awkwardly, before walking over, bending to Davyne's level, and offering her hand. If she was going to demolish this poor reaper like that, Serafina could at least help her get up, right? It was something, at last.
"Thank you, though," offered Serafina, almost as an afterthought, to Davyne's plainly said compliment.

"You do not need to be sorry," Davyne began, "it was a mutually agreed to spar; you did not ambush me in the corridors or anything of the like. I should have considered the possibility that my opponent was so far above me in level and have been ready to take on any attack, no matter how damaging."
She took the other ghoul's hand, letting her help her up. Perhaps normally she would not, but she was still feeling a bit out of sorts after the spar. Which she hadn't yet conceded, had she? There were protocols for this sort of thing and she was shirking them.
"I concede full defeat to you," she said rather formally, inclining her head to the other ghoul in a show of respect. It was rare to see such skill in play, after all.
Which was a valid point; was this, perhaps, a chance to learn more about battling from a master of the art?
"Do you," she began and then stopped, clearing her throat uncomfortably. She was not used to entreating other creeple for help and it came unnaturally to her. "Do you perhaps have any advice for how I might best progress to your level of skill?"

So far above her in level? Serafina wasn't that good. Her face turned a bit of a deeper red, the ghoul clearly embarrassed.
Nevertheless, she helped her up, bringing Davyne back to her feet before letting go of her once more. At least she didn't seem mad--oh Jack, she didn't need to incline her head or anything, Serafina was definitely not worth that level of respect, though she was certainly flattered by it.
"Um, good spar," offered Serafina, still awkward, bowing her head respectfully in turn. She had suffered those hits, after all--
Wait, advice from her? She didn't know! Serafina kinda just flailed around and ran away half the time. Those weren't very good battle tips. She wasn't particularly good at all, in her opinion. For one, she had no finesse.
"Uh," great advice, Serafina. She rubbed her neck awkwardly. "Try to center yourself before the battle. It helps concentrate and makes time seem like it goes slower?"
While it was phrased more like a question, that sounded like something someone with actual skill would say. Hopefully it wasn't disappointing.

The ghoul was changing shade, though whether it was anger or embarrassment or something entirely different, Davyne could not say. Still, she watched with interest.
"Center myself," she repeated thoughtfully. That did seem useful, yes; presumably it would help her not get distracted, as she had been today by the severity of the hits she was taking. It was certainly worth a try, she thought. "How would you recommend going about this?"
Any advice she could get she was willing to take, for still the thought of not saving her human was with her. She had found herself seeing the human in dreams that were nightmares that were entirely illogical - nonetheless, she could not seem to shake them. Perhaps it was time to consult a creature of dream magic but it felt far too personal to simply bare her thoughts like that.
It also, though she was loath to admit it, felt like admitting defeat. She was not keen on that and so had, for the moment, re-directed her energy into being more useful should another chance to do something good arise.
