Will snorted. "We're the same age!" he exclaimed, picking up a quarterstaff and tossing it into his other hand to feel the balance. "Bear in mind I've been at work all day and haven't warmed up, and you are here all fluid and loose. Forgive me if I'm a bit stiff." With a slight smirk, he held up the staff, tapping it against Tuck's to signal the start of the bout. "En garde!"
For being unprepared, Will could still move pretty quickly. He swung his staff out to try and knock against Tuck's elbow and weaken his grip.
