Since the mafia’s muscle isn’t going to change strategies, you won’t either, you’ll extend this sparring session until it’s over, or until it gets to the next level. You hope for the former! Thing is, as long as you keep entertaining her, there’s a chance for an opening to seal the deal.
You thought that cheeky slap did more emotional damage than physical, but the Spice Dragon’s haphazard strikes are missing due to her apparent dizziness. They’re too simple to dodge. Yet, the mercenary acts like you’re over-performing.
“You’re no slouch.” The Spy Dragon commends your abilities.
“You shouldn’t talk while fighting...” You keep deflecting her blows. Matilda drilled in your head that talking while exercising costs more stamina.
“This will be over as soon as I’m done warm—”
You slap the Spy Dragon on the head again before she can finish talking. She drops to one knee.
“Too open.” You’d feel bad, but she works for the mafia.
“[b:lit]You were saying?![/b:lit]” The Spy Dragon goes for a leg sweep from the ground! She wants to kick your ankles!
You skip in place to dodge. Through the same motion, the Spy Dragon spins onto her feet. Quite impressive for a dance move!
“Your reaction time is commendable for a beginner.” The Spy Dragon congratulates you for your shitty dodge. The truth is, Matilda is too much of a fan of takedowns, so you know what to do. Well, small people like her always go for the knees...
You shrug without saying a word, even though you’re interested in asking again if you could hire her with a contract and all. Or if she has been to Xumenlo, there’s a chance that she was in the bubble dimension, but you don’t recall. Huh, maybe you don’t want to hire her at all…
The Second Strongest Titan continues her flurry of punches, and she misses every single one of them, it’s easy to get out of the way when you can always step back. But it’s great exercise! So great, in fact, you feel like your Athletics are developing…
“Your steps are almost inaudible, someone less experienced would be thrown off by it.” The Spy Dragon really enjoys analyzing you. Is she gathering data to deliver her real attacks? Or is she lonely and has nobody to talk to?
“Mhm.” You acknowledge her words in case she is *actually* lonely.
“I can see it clearly. Your inspirations…” Spy Dragon takes off her coat. Trent’s messiness, Matilda’s counter moves, and Houda Lan’s swift steps, she sees everyone’s influence in your fighting style. “[b:lit]Your style is a mess.[/b:lit]” With this knowledge, she lunges forward one more time!
Too bad there’s still someone else you learned from! [b:lit]You slap the Slapped Dragon one more time and steal her mask just like Crossbill would…[/b:lit]
