[notstimpy]

... She's strong.

[ Which "she" is he talking about? Then again, does it really matter? ]

Comments

[solar_flare]

Thanks!

[She figures it's probably Nora, but hey, she gave him a run for his money too.]

[notstimpy]

[ Whether or not he was actually referring to Yang, he doesn't say anything to correct her. Really, is there a single girl at Beacon who that statement wouldn't apply to? ]

It might be a while before I feel like having chicken again.

[solar_flare]

At least you fared a little better than Jaune, right?

[He got hit with both birds, poor guy.]

[notstimpy]

When he took the first hit, he span with the momentum to maintain his balance.

He's getting better.

[ gotta support the leader! Team JNPR 4 life ]

[solar_flare]

Ha, that's true! I'm sure he had more fun than he lets on.

[Maybe.]

[notstimpy]

I think so, too. Defeat is just hard to swallow, sometimes.

[ Was that supposed to be a pun since it was a food fight? His expression is too blank to tell. ]

A lesson I intend to pass on to you, next time.

[solar_flare]

Well...you know what they say about good intentions, right?

[She smiiiiiles. As if she'd turn down either A. a good fight or B. a cute guy. Put both of them together, and Yang is a happy camper.]

[notstimpy]

I do.

[ The tiniest smirk you ever did see ]

You know what they say about what doesn't kill you, correct?

[solar_flare]

I might have heard that phrase once or twice growing up.

[Big toothy grin.]

Well then what are we waiting for? Let's give it another go!

[notstimpy]

[ A blink, surprise flickering across his features for a brief moment. ]

... Here? Now?

[solar_flare]

Well sure, if you want! There's that Baker Street place we can try out too, if you prefer that.

[But she might "accidentally" pick out something where she can flirt instead.]

[notstimpy]

I think that may be best. This is a place for discussion, after all.

[ Oh, no. Whatever would he doooo ]

[solar_flare]

How about... THIS one? It was at the top of the list.

[She can't be too subtle with some of the others, though there were a few she liked anyway.]

[notstimpy]

[ the fact that yang is being subtle at all is a shock in and of itself ]

... A strange choice for a rematch, but I accept - if you can wait for an hour or so, that is. My mun is occupied with his workplace responsibilities.

[solar_flare]

[She knows Ren isn't exactly an introvert, so, y'know. Gotta feel things out before making a move! And he seems more interested than she expected, so little by little, she's starting to feel like it's okay to be more bold.]

I'm in no rush. Sounds good! I'll go toss up a tag.

[thelittlestvalkyrie]

Do you think? [She looks like him like it is the most obvious thing in the world.] I sure am glad Ruby is a good guy. Though she is a blast to fight with!

[notstimpy]

Literally.

[ what with her blasting their entire team into the wall, and everything. ]

We can't be caught off-guard next time.

[thelittlestvalkyrie]

I don't think we will. Oh does that mean we can do it again?! I'm so pumped already. [punches the air.] And we will diffidently be ever better next time! I'm sure of it.
