[ Dominic is expecting something like this, had agreed to the fight under the precise knowledge that it would go like this.

He rolls into the toss, landing in a half squat that still has him hitting his arm hard against the ground. But his knives are still in hand and under control, and he's waiting with them for her, has them poised to slash at her. ]

[They both knew how this dance would go, it's one they've done before and it's exactly what Rip needs to loose herself even for a moment. Her fangs twist into a vicious grin as she closes the gap between them.

Rip's silently inviting him to slash and her and draw blood. The brief pain was something she felt herself craving right now, even if she would heal it quickly.]

[ It could well be a trap, a way to let him draw blood but also get the better of him by giving a little ground.

Right now Dominic doesn't care about that, is fighting with instinct instead of trying to double guess everything. He can lose himself in instinct, and it lets him cut her. ]

[Instinct is exactly what guides her as the blade bites into her skin. He gets her right across the chest when she doesn't move out of the way, slicing into the suit she wore and across the dress shirt beneath. A red line of crimson blossoms into existence as it traces the path the blade took across her skin.

It wasn't anything that would harm her or even slow her down regardless of how deep it might appear to be. As pain flooded her system, she revels in it before focusing. Instinctively she jumps back and lands into a crouched position, head tilted to the side for a moment before reaching up to dip her fingers into the cut and then lick the blood off her fingers.

A second later, she was rushing him again, staying low to keep from being hit in the chest again and looking to tackle him around the waist and into the nearest wall if he didn't get out of the way.]

[ Compared to the...dignity of Rafa and Ignacio, Rip is still the kind of vampire that Dominic feels has a certain bloodlust, a certain animal nature.

But they're also friends, no matter how watching her lick her own blood makes him feel, and he's also focused on the fight. He braces against her strength, ducking low to kick at her feet and try to stop her momentum. ]

[Rip was still young compared to Rafa and Ignacio. She was unrefined and reveled in her darker nature, relaxing to let her express her more violent desires in their fight.

Even with her indulging, Rip kept in mind that she likes Dominic and didn't want to kill him. Just.. rough up and maybe break a bone or two. Maybe.

Rip rushes in close, ready to tackle him when he drops down. Within a second, Rip is launching herself at him, arms out stretched and hands eager to grab him as she pounces to avoid his sweep. Her momentum hits them both hard, causing them to tumble.

It wasn't quite what she wanted... and it left her feeling dazed for a few precious moments before quickly rolling to get up and get out of his range.]

[ Dominic has a lot of practice rolling with his knives, keeping himself form being injured with them while also keeping them close at hand.

So he keeps one hand tucked carefully, knife to the side as they tumble.

When they've come to a stop he kicks at her legs, trying to keep them down while simultaneously slashing at her side. ]

[Those few precious seconds of being dazed cost her as she felt a blade tear at her clothing. It didn't catch much else as she focuses more on avoiding his kicks. The knife didn't really bother her. Rip invited the pain it might cause her as she focuses more on keeping her legs beneath her.

Rip was.. holding back a bit, just enough to keep this going and interesting for both of them.]

[ This place has caused them both too much pain to be worried about the physical results of a few blows. Dominic's well aware that if she stops holding back she could cause him quite a lot of damage, but he also doesn't care very much about that.

Dominic focuses on trying to press his weight on her chest as soon as he has the chance, trying to keep them both on the ground so she can't just get away. The knife is useds as a tool to keep them close where it catches at her clothing. ]
