“My nickname makes sense, how am I...” Xylo’s question was interrupted by a swing of her stick which he quickly parried. This was going to be tough. Shooting and fist fighting was easy, this was something new. He circled around in a defensive stance as she did, ready to parry any attack she brought forth.
River quickly spotted an opening and rushed forward, whacking the back of his leg gently, and jumped back before he could react. "I can tell you have never done this." She said amusedly.
(I couldn`t resist XD)(Omg, "Mr. Werewolf")
Xylo tried swinging back but she was out of reach. He admitted sheepishly “No, when I fight it’s either with hands or guns. You’ll have to teach me.” In saying that, Xylo has indirectly opened himself up to her, admitting he needed help at something. He swung at her leg then navigated the branch to her side softly, trying to get her back, chuckling as he did so. It was awkward to fight this way.
Persepolis thought about it for a moment, "I've never actually been in a relationship." She paused, "But there was a man that I liked a lot, once." Her eyes clouded over, lost in memory for a second, "Not that he ever did me much good." She said, with a slight bitterness that stemmed from remembrance.
Luna shook her head, her story very similar, however. “I’ve had interests, but I either don’t find the confidence to show feelings or my memories interfere and stop me from saying yes.” She gave a weak smile, one that was embarrassed of herself for being haunted by the past. She added “So we’re in the same boat.”
"Okay then." River said, jumping away from his awkward attack.
"I understand", She said; and she did. "At least the boat we're in is a good one. It's not like we need men, anyway." She offered.
(YASSS QUEEN! Bravo! xD)
