Things had been uneventful lately, and the only thing that he really looked forward to was the Tournament and the start of the Quidditch season. However he had found a rather interesting surprise: a note that requested his presence down at the Dueling Field. The minute he read over that letter, the grey-haired Prefect couldn't help but smile as he read over the writing. Finally, here was something that should prove to be rather amusing and Frog relished a good challenge every once in awhile. The only thing that would make it better was if the challenger made him work to this fullest so that Frog would actually be worked to the limit.
So there he was: standing on the Dueling Field and calmly awaiting the mysterious challenger who had sent him the note. While he normally preferred muggle clothing over wizarding robes, Frog chose to honor the tradition of dueling and wore his official Prefect robes today. However the Scotsman also wore his signature skipper's cap, a fingerless leather glove of brown on his right hand, and his Rowan and Dragon heart-string wand was securely in that hand. There was a slight breeze on the air today: the perfect sort of weather for a duel.
And so Forgoil Halifirien awaited the challenger with a smile on his face: knowing that either outcome he'd enjoy the moment today.
Having been held up for some time in the hospital wing, for reasons completely beyond his control, Arc ended up arriving a bit late to the duel he had asked for. Panting as he made it to the field, he doubled over momentarily to clutch at a stitch in his side he had aquired from running as fast as he could down to the field.
Straightening up enough to make certain his opponent was there, he looked Forgoil over for a few moments before he said: "You know, what's the point of wearing fingerless gloves? I suppose it's kinda like wearing lensless glasses." he said as his own sort of introduction.
Shrugging, he walked over to his side of the field, turning to face the prefect. "Ready when you are." he said, pointing his staff at him.

The grey-haired lad just smiled at Arc as the boy commented on his fingerless gloves: pointing out the ironies in one's choice of apparel was something he had never witnessed before and he liked the fact that the kid had the wit to make such a statement. Still the Ravenclaw looked pretty out of shape from his run since he was bent double, so Frog raised his left hand in the manner of an apology. "I appreciate your guts lad, but you look like you could use a 5 minute breather. Besides we have all day and everything to get this done: so we've definitely got the time on our hands. Actually come to think of it..." the Hufflepuff paused at this point as he was unsure if he actually knew his opponent or not.
"Heck, we don't even know each other's names yet. Before we start blasting each other to kingdom come, I'd at least like to know who I'm dueling with. And after introductions are finish and you don't feel tired, I suppose then we can get this thing started."
Taking a deep breath at the Hufflepuff's offer to take a brief break, Arc let out a small laugh, "I see you are so frightened of my power you wish to delay our match as long as possible. Do not fear, I will not harm you too much."
"As for my name, I am none other than Reinaldo the magnificent! Great great great great...something decended from a line directly from the marriage in some way or form of all the four founder's lines, thus making me future heir to all their great works!" Now, this was far fetched, even in his own mind, but he WAS facing a Hufflepuff. "Do we start now or do you surrender?"

(OOC) Aside from looking tough and stylish, fingerless gloves actually serve a purpose separate from conventional gloves. With your fingers free, you're free to grip finer things like wands a little more accurately, and the finger holes allow ventilation so it doesn't get as sweaty inside the gloves. That's not to say that leather gloves won't smell a little funky if you wear them too much, but that shouldn't matter too much to avid glove wearers.
Anyhoo, keep it up. I might challenge you next, Frog-kun.

"Reinaldo the Magnificent, eh?" replied Frog with a touch of dry humor in his words, "Heir to all the founders of this school and keeper of all their secrets: now I've got ta say that's rather impressive Laddie. As for mahself I come from a slightly more humble upbringing. Sonorus!" As he pointed his wand at his voice box and muttered the incantation, the grey-haired Prefect felt his lungs swell with air before he unleashed his return challenge. "Do ya know who I am Laddie!" bellowed Frog (thanks to the Sonorus spell) like a drunken highlander about to beat someone to death with his pipes, "I'm Forgoil Halifirien of Scotland! I hail from the misty Highlands, and I use the likes of ya ta pick the haggus from mah teeth."
With a practiced twirl of his wand, the Hufflepuff saluted the Ravenclaw that stylized himself as the Reinaldo the Magnificent and leveled his wand at the boy's sternum. A daredevil smile appeared on his face and he jutted one eyebrow up in the sign of challenging the boy. "Ya said ya wanted ta get this show on the road laddie? Allow me to have the honors. Petrificus Totalis!" shouted Frog and a blast erupted from his wand tip: heading straight for the boy.
