Three Final Fantasy characters walk into a bar
WHO: Squall, Seifer, Cloud, ??
WHAT: Trying out weapons
WHERE: Workshop outside the city
WHEN: Sep 3
WARNINGS: Fight! Potentially blood and injury
Holding a gunblade in his hand again, even if it's just blade without the gun, is exhilarating. Doesn't matter what else Squall doubts about his own future, he won't give this up anytime soon. Plus, it's great stress relief from the hellish invasion of memories just weeks ago.
There's a lot of things making this fun. One, he's never fought alongside Seifer before. Two, Cloud is... remarkably powerful, way beyond what his stature and figure would indicate. Three, the prototype gunblade is a great teaser to what Seifer is going to eventually make.
He falls back to stay out of range of Cloud's buster sword (how is he even wielding that so easily?), eyes flicking over to Seifer to see what he's doing. It's strange having to flip his thoughts from how to counter Seifer's attacks to how to complement it, but all those years of fighting each other is working in their favor now.
He runs in to swipe at an opening from the other side. He's precision and skill even without the trigger component. It's clear he's treating the sparring session like a real battle. Seifer's taught him that much.

Or perhaps it's not unfair, since he's not had to watch his every move like this for a long time.
The pair certainly have him on the defence, unable to press any sort of attack so far. Seifer's quicker than what someone his size has any right to be. Squall, he's certainly tactically a cut above most too. It's clear from the way they're working together, both attacking from each flank, both attacking from front and rear, that they're using their numbers as an advantage. The moment he'd strike at either of them, the other would have the opening they needed.
Squall's strong, too. If he can use that...
As Squall's blade comes at his back, he can only hope he's putting full force into the upward slash. Because if he was, his blade would clang and probably bounce against the slab of a sword at his back, impact driving it backward and (if he was lucky) staggering him.
As for Seifer's slash, it's all he can do to take advantage of the height disparity between them and step under it and hopefully around him- wrenching his sword from his back and using it, lengthways, in attempt to drive him back.]

He swings his gunblade one-handed to shake off the residual shock. Just in time to see Cloud trying to step around Seifer's attack. If he's quick, he can get in a jab in his side. He's moving as he makes the decision, prototype gunblade held near horizontal for a forward stab.]
