gives a smug grin Not BAD, watching you fight. Like a WILD CAT with a toothache.
Why'd you call your best fighter that?! I sigh, looking away from my white haired head to my shuriken weapons attached to the sides of my headband. They worked hard to fight how they want... I look back at you, crossing my arms. Not bad? That's not what I am looking for.
Listen, CHOCOLATE PHOENIX, you are talking to ME now, got it? Your best fighter was NOTHING compared to ME! You want something MORE than just 'not bad'?
"Not bad" means the person or thing being described is doing something satisfactory, but not impressively so. Just so you know. I hold out a hand. If you want a good partner, let me and other fighters put you through test.... Let's see how long you can last through our tests... I say while holding out my hand.
What’s the catch? You think you’re SO special, don’t you? Give me ONE good reason why I should even waste my time with you.
Well, obviously. We both want to become better fighters. If we train together, we should be able to become better fighters faster than training alone. I shake your hand gently.
Alright then, Phoenix. Let’s do this! But remember, if you try anything funny, I won’t hesitate to kick your sorry ass out of here. Got it? Now, let’s start by sparring. I want to see how you handle yourself in a real fight.
No need to worry about me I push off from the wall I was leaning against, letting my tail flip behind me as I kneel slightly. Come on, show me what you got. A smirk plays on my lips.
grinning with excitement Fine, you asked for it! Prepare to be amazed, CHOCOLATE PHOENIX! This fight will be over before you even know what hit you! throws a swift punch towards ChocolatePhoenix
quickly avoiding the punch with a half-smile, I lunge forward with double punches aimed at Lexi's stomach. Quick isn't always enough! I smirk, pushing off from the floor and springing back.
dodges the double punches with an impressive agility Nice try, Phoenix! But you’ll have to do better than that! swiftly kicks towards ChocolatePhoenix’s chest
dodges your kick with a quick look at your foot. Oh... almost got ya there. Better luck next time! Quickly sends two kicks upwards, aiming for your chin.
sidesteps the kicks with a smirk Is that all you’ve got, Phoenix? I expected more from someone who wants to become a great fighter! lashes out with a roundhouse kick aimed at ChocolatePhoenix’s side
stepping back to dodge your kick, I manage a small smile before launching myself forward with a quick punch and knee combo to your gut. Watch closely. My smile turns into a grin.
takes the impact of the punch and knee combo, gritting her teeth Hah! Not bad, Phoenix! But you’re going to have to do better than that if you want to keep up with me!
<During their intense spar, Lexi accidentally injures ChocolatePhoenix's arm, causing it to become severely swollen and bruised.>
Ouch, ow, fuck! Clenches my injured arm to my chest. Hey! Take it easy, Lexi! That hurt like hell! Grins despite the pain, shaking his head. You sure you didn't mean to go that hard?
immediately stops and steps back, concern etched on her face Shit! Are you alright, Phoenix? Did I hurt you bad?
Chuckles despite the pain Hush, you didn't mean to. And I'm fine. It's not like I've never gotten hurt during a fight before. Besides, I know that was one hell of a blow you landed. Winks at Lexi You've definitely got some skill.
sighs, looking genuinely remorseful Look, Phoenix, I didn't mean to hurt you. I promise, next time I'll go easier on you.
Maybe don't promise that. After all, what's the point of fighting if you're not pushing yourself to the limit? That blow hurt like hell, but I respect you for landing it. And hey, at least you made me feel alive again. Laughs lightly, stretching his injured arm out. So, what's next? More sparring, or do you have another trick up your sleeve?
grinning mischievously Another trick, huh? Well, how about this? We continue sparring, but this time, we bring in some special equipment.
Special equipment? Sounds interesting. What did you have in mind?
claps her hands excitedly Alright, listen up, Phoenix! We're gonna spice things up a bit.
claps her hands excitedly Alright, listen up, Phoenix! We're gonna spice things up a bit.
oooo~ what are we gonna do~?
raises an eyebrow We're gonna add some obstacles to our sparring session. I want to see how well you can handle yourself in a chaotic environment. Get ready for some real action, Phoenix! grabs a set of ropes and starts tying them around the room
smiles widely Alright, Lexi. Bring it on! I can't wait to see what you've got planned.
ties the last rope and steps back, surveying the room Alright, Phoenix! Brace yourself because this is gonna be intense!
grinning devilishly Alright, Phoenix, get ready to dance! starts playing loud music We're gonna fight while dodging these obstacles!
<During the intense sparring session, ChocolatePhoenix trips over one of the ropes and falls, twisting their ankle badly.>
Ah, fuck! Groans as he tries to stand on his twisted ankle Shit, Lexi, you weren't kidding about making it chaotic. Grits his teeth, taking a deep breath Can't put weight on it... Think I'll need help getting up.
rushes over to ChocolatePhoenix Damn, Phoenix! Are you okay? Here, let me help you up. extends a hand to help him stand
pulls ChocolatePhoenix up with a grunt No problem, Phoenix! Just lucky I didn't break your damn neck! laughs Now, let's get out of this mess.
grinning mischievously Well, well, well, Phoenix. Looks like your luck ran out for now. Time to test your skills on one leg!
