She probably would have grinned at the compliment if she wasn't already panting a little, feeling the cracks in her shield starting to widen. Hopefully he wouldn't set her on fire again. That'd just kick her a** to the curb and then some at that point.
Not to say trying to shake off the blunt of a hammer strike with her knees (she couldn't help her instinct to protect her organs, okay?) helped her much, nearly grounding her from the impact as she fired again, her other hand using the blade as a support to get up again.
"You two aren't too bad either."HP: 7/60 Damage: 10 Charge: 2/3 : 1/2

The bullet sent Jordan back another step, and he conferred silently with Ferros. Their shield was dangerously weak, almost ready to crack; another good shot like the one Cass had just landed would do it, and Ferros didn't have enough of a charge to use his healing steam. One more good hit would do that -- but Cass looked edgy and tired, and he wasn't sure her shield could take another hit either.
He desummoned Ferros and held his hands up, open and empty. "Conceding," he said, and grinned at her. "You guys are just too much for me today."
HP: 9/60

Cass laughed a bit, leaning onto the blade that remained sunk in the ground. "I dunno man, I think I'm about put out myself. Let's call this one a draw." she suggested, offering Jordan a hand. "I think I'm gonna be walking funny all day after this." she added with a lop-sided smile as she straightened up, likewise unsummoning Nicodemus.
"I think that was a pretty good match for both of us."
HP: 6/60

"Thank God for Fear shields," Jordan agreed wryly, and shook her hand. "Thanks for giving me a workout. We don't spar as much since Ferros got stupidly huge."
Magnificently huge, the weapon huffed.
"Yes, yes, you're a work of art," Jordan laughed, looking down at the ring, then back up at Cass. "Does Nicodemus have a huge ego too, or is that just my personal burden to deal with?"

"No kidding. We're pretty damn lucky to have them." Cass patted her chain-belt appreciatively. "And hey, I'm always up for a spar - I actually don't get a lot of fighting in. It seems like I'm always pretending I'm from the moon division and just defending, so it was a nice stretch of some muscles that feel neglected." she massaged her shoulder.
"Mmm, I'd say Nicodemus is too much of a stick in the mud to have too much of an ego, actually."

"I'll have to ask you more often, then. Training against inanimate objects isn't much of a challenge, and I have to stay in top shape." Jordan stretched, rolling his shoulders to check if he was going to be sore. Possibly, he thought, though he could probably head that off with something to eat and a hot shower. "Going to go grab a snack," he said, and turned towards the path that led to the dorms and the cafeteria.
"I'm not sure if that sounds better or worse than Ferros being alternately certain he's the most beautiful weapon on the island and complaining that he's still too small," he laughed.
No, Ferros corrected, Tracey is the most beautiful weapon. I'm a very close second, though.

"Well, for perspective, Nicodemus spent about..well..up until I got married trying to convince me that being with Marcus was bad for my survival and that boys were bad. When he's in a golem he still makes a point to sit between us and scowl. Even with Dis around....." she massaged her temple. "Worst mix ever, those two." she added quietly.
Never the less, Cass also made her strides towards the pathways back to base - snacks sounded good, really. "I think some water and fruit sounds good myself to cool off, but certainly! I'd be good to have the exercise for sure."

"Okay, yeah, I'll keep the giant ego here," Jordan laughed. "That sounds awkward. Ferros goes off with Tracey whenever they're in golems. B0nez just wants to play with the laptop, mostly." He cast a sideways glance at Cass. "So far I've avoided meeting Dis in person. I hear that's probably a good thing."

Cass coughed once. "He'd make a move on you. There's no dissuading him either. Nicodemus has tried. So probably for the better." she confirmed with a small nod. "I try to not have them out in golems at the same time, but sometimes Marcus and I don't really..coordinate it well and it happens by accident."
She looked to Jordan. "Sounds like you three have it a bit easier though."

Jordan snorted. "That's horrible and hilarious all at once."
"We time it so Ferros and Tracey can hang out for a while. They're a thing now, do you know? Which still weirds me out sometimes, but - " he shrugged, " - coordinating golem time means happier weapons, which is better for everyone, so I'm not complaining."
Ferros huffed indignantly. It's not weird.

"Hey, happy weapons is an excellent idea. I agree. It just so happens mine is happier away from Dis. Then again, I imagine with the other weapons he'd just sit and scowl too. So I'm not really sure what makes him happy."
Relationships are overrated. Nicodemus said frankly.
"I mean, he doesn't like anybody and he doesn't seem to have a food affinity..... so I'm at a loss."

"No ideas here," Jordan said, shaking his head. "I don't know much about tonberries, and Ferros doesn't seem to know either."
They like knives, Ferros said helpfully.
"Oh, wait, he says they like knives. Thanks."

"Well. That would make sense, actually." She nodded, eyes going to her left temple as she conferred with the clinically safe voice inside of her head.
I wouldn't say it was the knives, persay, but...they're nice.
She visibly shuddered. "I think I just learned something I didn't need to know."

Jordan's eyebrows arched, and he suppressed a smile. "Sorry about that."

"Not your fault. I just..shouldn't have asked him anything about it.." Not that she thought he was a serial killer all of a sudden. He'd just never seemed like the type to her. "Well, I guess if he wasn't happy in his own way I'd know already, though. So maybe I'm just making a big deal out of it?"
I certainly think so.
