Blake never even saw it coming, out of no where he was tumbling back and landing hard on his butt before he even comprehend what was happening. Dear Merlin mistakes where made. Turning redder than a tomato, Blake stood up and rubbed his butt a little to take the sting out. "Owww......" He added knowing he was likely to be bruised tomorrow.

Taking a deep breath he had realized he should have practiced and taking the bow for granted was definitely the WRONG decision to make. Blake looked around to see who all noticed his 'interaction'. He was sure Claudine would laugh herself silly if she saw... and he hated that idea. Determined to not let that happen again..

Taking a moment to practice his bow rightfully this time. He again stepped in front of his dummy, crossed the red line. Took a deep breath and bowed to 45 degrees (at least he prayed it was 45). He paused in his position for a moment waiting to see if the dummy dueling partner would accept this his bow this time.
