[Yudain's eyes narrow in concentration as he dances away from Star's sword-patterns, leaping over a solid arc to his knees, sword and knife finding no opening and very little opportunity to block without-]
[-and Star's sword comes within a hair's breadth of slicing his stomach open (slicing him in half was the intention), knocked aside at the last possible moment by Yudain's knife, which for a moment seems to flash silver as he realizes the stakes- not just first blood, but his pride. Not just his pride, but the safety of his family.]
[He tosses the perforated sword aside, wicked-sharp talons sprouting from both hands and reptilian wings from his back, his gouged jacket disappearing entirely.]
[One flap of wings and somehow, the Lunar has hit the ceiling already (how something as big as a man can fly, much less that quickly), dropping onto Star from above in a rolling ball of wing, fang, and talon.]
