He would have argued the point, but that seemed fruitless, so instead Chance just grinned at Claude. "I've always been pretty laid back, but being here kind of...tests my limits, I won't lie. There are several things that like to come and shake things up."
He shook his head and took a step back, readjusting his hold on the bow. "Not sure what a weeaboo is, but whatever it is sounds like what everyone's told me, and - "
The rest of his sentence was cut off abruptly; Claude's aim had been true this time, and the bullet slammed into Chance's chest, sending him staggering backwards. The arrow in his bow released on accident, and he stumbled, feet sliding out from between him - and then he was down on the ground, wheezing for ********," he said with a gasp, but there was still a smile on his face as Chance clambered to his feet again. "Now that was badass, admit it."

The trainee nodded her head, and that was fair. "No, you're right. It's a good attitude...but maintaining it is a different story. I don't think even Mother Theresa would maintain her composure too long here." She snorted, softly. "Ah, yes. Unhealthily loves anime, thinks he's Japanese, but isn't, takes it to a whole other level--" Claude seemed, honestly, a bit surprised she had managed to knock Chance off his feet. She was so used to god damn missing or weakly hitting all the time, that this actually threw her off. Her pistol lowered, and her lidded eyes widened slightly. "Hey...you alright?" She then eyed her pistol a bit funny for a moment. Sure, that was a harder hit...but enough to knock him to the ground? Hrm. Maybe if she was a rank higher, but...She was now eyeing Chance with a bit more of a keen eye. She raised her free hand, and lifted her index finger slightly above her thumb to indicate okay, it was a little bad a**, but she was still eyeing him a bit suspiciously. HP: 24 / 40DMG: 0

Asher made a sound similar to a laugh inside of his head, which made him smile as Chance rethought his strategy. "It's been not as easy keeping my composure here as it was growing up, I'll admit," he said, shaking his dark head of curls. "But hopefully once things...well, I don't want to say get better, because I doubt that, but once I grow a little more used to things, hopefully it'll be easier to be nonchalant about things again."
A snort passed through his lips, similar to the one Claude had made. "That sounds...well, I'm not even sure what the ******** to think about that, really," he said, pondering this rather ludicrous decision.
His mind, however, was redirected to other things as her shot had hit him. Chance dragged himself vertical and brushed grass and dirt from his legs, trying to get some of the air back into his lungs; the shot had hit him in the chest, which meant he was mostly winded.
"I'm good," he said, lifting a hand and grinning. "Just thought I'd, you know, check the grass for bugs and all. Get reacquainted with nature."

"Give yourself some credit." Claude was uncharacteristically supportive right now. It probably had to do that she had gotten off on such a good foot with this guy, and they seemed to jive pretty well together (thus far). "You didn't grow up in a cesspool that also fights off monsters and such." She nodded her head a bit. "Acclimatize, right?" One hand went to rest on her hip as she looked at him a bit incredulously, her lips nearing a frown and a brow raised. Nature. Uh huh. After a moment, she have a soft amused snort at him, her lips pulling up into a brief smirk as she shook her head. "Don't think you want to get acquainted with nature here." She then shot him again.

Chance swung the bow around, stretching out his arms a little as he tried to work out some of the stiffness and most definitely ignoring the painful twinges in his stomach in the process. "Why thanks for the show of good measure," he said cheerfully, giving her a friendly mock salute. "But you make a good point. I did grow up in a cesspool, though, so there is that, just not one that fought monst - ow."
Her next shot was almost as dead on as the first, and Chance staggered, almost losing his footing again but managing to catch himself a the last minute by stabbing the end of his bow into the ground and latching onto it. He hauled himself upright and blew out a breath of air that kind of hurt.
"Okay, maybe not."

"It couldn't have been like..." She jabbed a thumb at the buildings nearby. "This though...could it?" In her opinion, Deus was a cesspool in its own category...she couldn't have ever imagined somewhere like this. It was just that special. She lowered her weapon momentarily as he staggered, and her eyes narrowed once again as she looked him over. She wasn't one to pry, but she couldn't shake the feeling like he had...possibly gone into this in less than good condition. Hrm. Okay. She was curious. "So...?" She prompted, waiting for him to tell her why he seemed on the verge of getting swept off his feet again, because just her attacks alone? She didn't feel it justified it. In the meantime, she shot at his foot, because she was nice like that. HP: 24 / 40DMG: 2

"It wasn't an institution, if that's what you're asking," Chance said with an easy smile, clearly unperturbed that he might have been answering a semi-personal question. "Or like, anything involving military things, thankfully, that would have sucked."
Chance twisted a little, the next bullet grazing his foot and making him hop a little.
"A boy's home," he clarified, as he restrung an arrow into his bow finally, setting his feet back into the proper positions as he fired off a shot aimed at Claude's shoulder. "And before that, a pretty shitty home life with a deadbeat mother. But that's all water under the bridge now."
There was no negativity in Chance's voice, no bitterness; merely a simple causality, as though he was discussing the lunch menu.

Claude just nodded her head in acknowledgement. It was all she could do, really. All she would. She did note how he said it, and it just continued to raise her opinion of the young man across from her. No bitching or moaning from this guy from his shitty life. She liked that. The trainee was slightly jostled by the shot that grazed her shoulder, and she took a moment to readjust before firing off another weak shot back. "You ever piss anyone here off with that laid back attitude?" She asked, her lips quirking up into a small smirk.

He appreciated the lack of sympathy from her; his life was not a tangled mess of bitterness and anger stemming from a childhood that had been marginally less than stellar. Instead, Chance accepted it for what it was - a learning experience, and he very much appreciated reactions like what Finn and now Claude had given him, which was less pitying and more just a general acknowledgement of suckiness.
"So far?" Chance asked, smiling as he shifted away from the weak shot aimed towards him. "Well. Not really pissing off so much as just annoying someone. At least I don't think I've pissed anyone off," he added, somewhat musingly.

Claude chuckled softly. "Give it time." She said. "Apparently some people are offended by that kind of attitude." Like Cee for example. "How did you annoy them?" She asked. She then fired off a shot...but it missed him by a mile. HP: 22 / 40DMG: 0

"Oh, I guarantee I'll get on someone's nerves eventually," Chance said cheerfully. "There are always bound to be people who take offense at things that aren't meant to be offensive - hence why offense is taken, not given."
Claude's arrow whistled past him. Chance watched it go, almost as though it was a sideshow attraction, and then turned to face her again, restringing an arrow. "Oh, you know," he said, and smiled. "He seems like the type of person to get annoyed at everything. Told me I was a useless lout and that I had a boring personality."
The latter of which had actually sort of stung, even if Chance was unwilling to admit it. Mild, yes. Calm, yes. But boring was unfortunate. He let go of the wire a little sooner than intended and the arrow snapped forward, directed towards Claude's leg with more force than strictly necessary.

Claude chuckled again, and was honestly trying to remember the last time she was this amused. It'd be a really long time, so it was surreal to be in such a good mood right now. "I like you." She said simply, her lips quirking up briefly on one side. She then had to smirk as he described the guy. "He was just annoyed because you're so cool, Chance." Her smirk widened, before it disappeared as she took an arrow to the knee. The trainee staggered a bit under the hit. Okay. That actually stung (the knees were the colossi's weak point!). Then in the words of Taylor Swift, no, she wasn't feeling 22, but she did shake it off and got back to the spar. She lifted her pistol again and fired back a shot.

Chance's smile spread across his face, amusement heavy in his voice as he said, "Why, thank you. I'm pretty sure I like you too; you're definitely one of the more interesting people I've met since coming here, and I find your way of thinking pretty similar to my own, which is both interesting and reassuring."
He was still laughing as she dropped a little lower from his arrow. "Very pun-y," he told her, eyes flashing as the next shot from Claude smacked him painfully in the arm. Chance shifted a little and drew another arrow.

"Only pretty sure?" Claude echoed, a trace of teasing in her tone before she just smirked softly again. Well, she was definitely flattered. Not that she needed the reassurance that she was interesting to be around, but the fact there was someone like minded apparently? It was nice. It made for a bit more firm ground to stand on, and in the bigger part, to help her branch away from relying on Lex. She clucked her tongue. "I'm a bit ashamed, honestly. I don't care to pun...but it happens sometimes." Unless it was pirate related...then it was perfectly alright. It seemed now they were landing consistent hits, which was good. Even if they weren't strong, at least they weren't missing. HP: 13 / 40DMG: 3

He grinned. "About ninety percent sure," he corrected her, as Chance skittered backwards a few steps, readjusting himself, and restringing the bow. He notched the arrow and ducked out of the way of the full brunt of Claude's next attack, the twang of the wire resounding in his ears as he released his own shot.
"Never be ashamed of a good pun," he said lightly, lost his footing, and tipped sideways.
"Whoops."
