How grand! A little prince / princess sparring it is, then? This'll be just like Ephraim's practice matches with Eirika. Which he usually won thanks to Weapon Triangle Advantage, of course. While that may not matter much here (what ARE those Falcon Earrings, anyway, and how come they hurt?!), it really shouldn't matter too much as Ephraim's brutal offense should claim another trophy. Alena might have double-attacks, but Ephraim has the perfect "counter" to that; counterattacks, of course. All told, an honorable matchup really; Ephraim certainly can feel some kinship toward Alena, as both come from kingdoms in big trouble and both apparently ignored statecraft in favor of combat training. Perhaps Alena wouldn't mind stopping by his castle after his victory in the match is over?
