[hrrrmmm]

Makes me wonder, if yer memories of River really were taken or that producer was just fuckin' with ya.

[audacity]

[ struggles with himself for a moment, then shrugs ]

She's pretty crazy. Probably was screwing with me.

[throughbamboo]

Mmm, prob'ly.

[UNSURE. But he cracks his knuckles, then brings his hands up in a fighting stance]

C'mon then.

[audacity]

[ he doesn't need to ask twice.

launching himself at ore with a shout, going for a punch to the gut ]

[throughbamboo]

[Ore quickly steps to the side to dodge it, but instead of throwing a punch he keeps moving to put a few steps of distance between them again, staying on the defensive]

[audacity]

[ pivots to follow, grabs the side of the table so he can vault over it to try to close the distance between them ]

[throughbamboo]

[Aster is faster than him, so he'll catch him easily. Though as soon as his feet touch the ground, Ore throws his arm out, swinging at him]

[audacity]

[ grabs ore's arm to propel himself into a flip so he can land elsewhere in the room, ]

[throughbamboo]

[it works! The grumbled curses have no heat to them whatsoever]

Fuck, yer one of those.

[audacity]

[ that actually gets a smile as he rushes ore again ]

Strong and awesome?

[throughbamboo]

Quick an' annoyin'.

[waits until he gets right up close to try to grab and throw him, as one does]

[audacity]

How'd you know that's my middle name?

[ SUCCEEDS at grabbing and throwing

which earns a sound equal parts amused and annoyed as he skids back, catching himself, then goes at ore again.

this time, his intention is to drop at the last minute and basically tackle his legs ]

[throughbamboo]

Here I thought it was lil' shit.

[Ore doesn't dodge this time, but he does stagger back at the attempted tackle. But also, it'll take much more than that to get him off his feet.

GONNA TRY TO THROW HIM AGAIN]

[audacity]

[ oop, picked up and thrown ]

— there's such a thing as showing off, you know.

[ said as he throws himself into a roll and comes back up standing ]

[throughbamboo]

[his lips twitch]

It ain't showin' off if ya don't weigh nothin'.

[audacity]

You only think that 'cause you're ginormous.

[ and he WILL continue to attack ore in the same vein for a while more, until he starts to flag with tiredness ]

[throughbamboo]

Could be that, too.

[HE WILL MOSTLY PLAY DEFENSE, after a bit shifting to just blocking/taking hits instead of dodging so Aster can work out his frustrations]

[audacity]

[ ore u are the BEST

eventually he goes to hit again, winces, and sighs, throwing himself onto the ground instead ]

Okay, time out.

[throughbamboo]

[he shakes out his arm a bit with a chuckle, out of breath a bit himself but somehow still going, what is middle-aged]

All tired out?

[audacity]

[ sighs ]

Honestly? I'd like to keep going, but it'd be stupid to hurt myself after people put a bunch of work into healing me today.

[throughbamboo]

S'true, an' I'd feel bad 'bout undoin' all their hard work.

[audacity]

[ huffs while catching his breath ]

...thanks. That helped.

[throughbamboo]

Y'don't gotta thank me, told ya I get it.

[audacity]

Nice to feel like I don't totally suck, at least. Feels different to die because I lost some stupid fight, instead of taking a psycho punishment. At least no one can dodge the punishments. You'd think a gigantic sword going for your back would be hard to miss, though.

[throughbamboo]

Y'don't suck at anythin'.

. . . I dunno, hard to say shit comin' from behind ya. Seems a lil' unfair when everythin' else comes right for ya.
