Oh dear. A tough one. Laocoon couldn’t help but be reminded of Ares, the senshi of smoke a firm believer that just because you had magical powers, it didn’t mean that you couldn’t still knock someone around the head. He held his hands out in an exaggerated shrug, not wanting to push the point. As a cavalier he’d traded his own abilities for a handy dandy sword, and since his only opponents were beings similarly armed he was feeling pretty good about his chances out there in the real world.
She didn’t seem to want to talk about her secret training, and so the cavalier left it at that. Perhaps, somewhere in their conversation she’d slip up and tell him something that would give him a clue as to why a senshi was whipping a piece of wood around the park. Maybe she was just working on her arm strength. Who knew.
When she belatedly answered his question he tipped his head as though trying to discern the answer on his own. Finally, he said, “Oh. You can magically do it instead then?” She didn’t much look like she was the senshi of guillotines but the rainbows may have been deceiving.

The senshi groaned out slightly at his choice in words. "Ungh... ya make it sound so gay..." It was indeed quite gay in the tomboy's opinion, but that didn't mean she still couldn't get annoyed over someone else insinuating it was gay. She still held onto the boomerang with the one hand, but the other hand balled up into a fist. Rather suddenly, it began to glow.
"Let's jus' say... it ain't what everyone seems t'think rainbows should be..."
The light grew more intense until a brilliant rainbow seemed to sprout out from her fingers. Even Sailor Iris, who was quite adjusted to the attack, couldn't help but squint slightly. She grinned slightly, then made a pretty simple suggestion.
"Ya might wanna move outta th'way."

”I did not!” Laocoon protested, “I was just telling it like it is.” For a senshi with a rainbow butt bow she certainly had some very strange opinions about being feminine and the ‘gayness’ of magical attacks. He would have expected this kind of attitude from girls who were the senshi of something a little more… tough? You know, like senshi of wild animals or sharp pointed objects. Perhaps this was fate’s way of laughing at them all (though probably mostly just at Iris).
His earlier assumptions were confirmed when she started talking about rainbows – senshi of rainbows? How unthreatening was that? – but he didn’t get a chance to delve into her sphere. She was making some sort of rainbow... thing in her hand and by the looks of it was she was going to attempt something dangerous and possibly stupid. Obligingly, the cavalier tugged his cape close with a dramatic flair and stepped aside.
He had no idea what she was going to try and do but somehow he had the feeling it was best to get out of the way.

When the boy and his cape seemed to be adequately out of the way, the whole arm that was attached to what seemed like a ribbon made of rainbow lashed out. Even if it was her less accurate arm (ambidextrous Iris was not), there were so many trees around that the motion caused the rainbow to wrap about a branch nearby. She flashed a grin in Laocoon's direction.
"So, ya get t'tell me what ya think after this demonstration."
Glancing back to her current task at hand, she then called out "Iris Rainbow Slicer!" She normally would have used her second hand to grab onto the lasso made of colored light, but with her hand holding onto that training tool of hers, it wasn't going to happen. Instead, she began to pull steadily against the slicer.
At first, it just seemed as if the branch was bending from the force of her pulling, but soon enough, the effects became apparent. A vague amount of smoke began to drift away from the branch around the area where her attack was touching. Given even more time, the rainbow seemed to slice through the branch slowly, as if it the wood was butter.
"Timber!" And down the branch fell, leaves and wood rustling down to the ground.

Laocoon watched as the branch made a dive for the ground, following its progress until it made contact with a soft thunk. It was an interesting way to do the pruning, that was for certain, but somehow he doubted that throwing a lasso around a stationary target was going to help her all that much in a battle. Enemies were, after all, usually quite fast, and unless she intended to stun them with her boomerang and then lasso them, he wasn't entirely sure what she had intended to show him. Still, the cavalier awarded Iris's effort with a golf clap.
"Nice, but I think I'll stick with this." He tapped the sword at his hip. "A little more predictable, even if it can't cut through tree branches in a single swipe." Oh how the cavaliers would have laughed if he suggested they switch from their trusted rapiers to lassoes. He would have never heard the end of it. "Does it cut other things, this er… slicer?"
Still focused on Iris, Laocoon failed to notice the fact that his pocket had started glowing faintly, turning a spot on his pants a kind of ethereal blue. A mirror call, no doubt, but the cavalier wasn't paying attention to his pockets.

For a moment, the yellow suited senshi got quiet. She truly wasn't the sort who was well suited with such silence, but for a moment, she glanced down to her hands. Into her own vision (and hers alone), she managed to see the shape of a victim's head and nothing more. Both of her hands opened up for a moment. The one that had been holding onto the colored light loosened, causing the rainbow to vanish completely. It almost looked like she was holding an invisible ball for a second or two before her hands dropped to her sides, causing the vision to vanish from her mind's eye.
"Yeah, it cuts through lotsa sh*t..." she sighed slightly as she seemed to return to reality. Not wanting to come across as a pansy, she lifted a hand up and began to ruffle her own strange hair. She forced a grin. "There are some things that it can't cut through too... but what would be th'fun in tellin' ya 'bout that."

"Fun-sucker," the cavalier complained, though he didn't seem too upset about it if the grin on his face was anything to go by. By now, the light in his pocket had become quite insistent, the mirror vibrating softly. Mirror communication was tricky at best. It required not only a sufficiently reflective surface to transmit the message but also that the recipient be near enough to a reflective surface to answer the call. That was one of the reasons
As the mirror reached critical light emotion he seemed to realize that he was being called, and with a slightly sheepish look he pulled it from his pocket to flip it open. "Oops, that's me. I gotta take this. But uh…good work soldier. I expect you to be perfect at this the next time I see you." Flashing Iris a cheeky grin and a thumbs up, the cavalier turned and trotted back the way he'd came, tapping the mirror as he did so. Hopefully she wouldn't be too upset with him for delaying her call…

Well, at least he seemed to have a decent sense of humor. However, something seemed to interrupt. At first, she assumed it was a phone, but then she got a glance of how he opened the object at hand.
Is that a f*ckin' make-up mirror?
Respect points went down a smidge.
"Eh..." Her voice sounded a bit uncertain about the request. "...I'll see ya when I see ya I guess...?" She shrugged, then stood there a bit stupidly. Even with his advice, it still seemed like a long ways until she'd be able to perfect everything.
Heaving out a sigh, she once more resumed her work.
