A brow arched as she observed and listened to the guy. Door mat much? She moved back when he tried to strike her. "You tried." She said simply...and could be taken as encouragement? Despite the few quirks here and there, he did seem to be pretty solid in his role. More capable than some of the higher ranked Moons she'd seen even.

She chuckled.

"That's because I wasn't born and raised in the Caribbean. I'm from Las Vegas." She raised her pistol and fired another shot, this time aiming directly for his shield. "You?"

"Ohhh..." He opened his mouth to say more, but Claude's shot physically forced him back this time, and he made a surprised noise as the bullet broke through the remainder of his barrier. Syn hissed like a crackling fire as Dawson regained his balance, wide-eyed in both fear and some awe. Sun power.

"N-Nice one!" he cheered. "Me, uh, m'from Georgia. Short ways from Atlanta." Man, piratey, pretty, tall, and from a fancy city? No way was he going to win this. (But hey, getting beaten by a pretty lady was definitely not a loss.) He huddled behind his shield, shoulders hunched for the inevitable beat down, and then asked, "They, uh, got a colony 'er somethin'? Not sayin' y'don't rock the look, 'cause ya do, but s'a mite curious."

It was a bit odd to be complimented for how well she was sparring. If only Dawson knew this wasn't how she usually sparred. Tsk tsk.

The trainee gave a nod of her head, and now that Dawson's barrier was down, she was ready to use her charged attack. The runes on her pistol glowed brighter, and Claude braced her weapon with two hands as a volley of shots were released, striking Dawson head on. After the charge was finished, one hand left her pistol to push her hair back over her shoulder.

"I don't follow when you say 'colony'." So explain.

It took Dawson a while to form an answer past the wheezing and wincing; shield or not, he was pretty sure he was getting bruises from that particular attack. But he was a stocky sort even before what weapons training had been offered to him, and it was something to be said that the volley of projectiles only pushed him back a little in spite of how hard it hit. The Moon was a simple fellow, but he was loyal to the job--what kind of defender could he be if he let everything knock him off his feet after all?

With a grimacing smile he righted himself. "s**t, son, that was awesome!" Dawson enthused nevertheless, because it was Very Important to cheer your teammates on. "M'gonna feel that in the mornin'..."

And just like that the shield was back in place, solid and ready for more, like a Good Boy.

"I, uh, I dunno whatcha call a pack a'pirates," he continued sheepishly. "Guess it ain't a colony, huh? Ya just don't see a guy in clothes like that no more s'what m'sayin', not 'cept in movies n' stuff. Just curious if ya got a thing or...?"

That defending determination did not go unnoticed. She was impressed at that, even if it didn't show in her face. It only pushed him back a little, and he remained standing. A brow quirked though as he cheered her on, and she wondered what was up with this...very optimistic person. Hm.

Claude let out a soft snort though when he explained what a colony meant. "No." She replied. No colony. Or pack of Pirates. "I like the style and clothing." Claude replied simply. She fired her pistol at him again, this time no where near as strong as before. "The same reason you wear the clothes you do."

"Naw, I wear 'em 'cause they're the only ones that fit a fatass like me!" Dawson replied with wheezy laughter over the tinny sound of the bullet ricocheting, a joke rooted in truth. "But I getcha. Y'look great if ya don't mind me sayin', ma'am." Better than great, but he was a polite fellow.

He slapped his shield several times. "C'mon, cap'n!" he goaded. "Ya hit me hard before, I know ya can do better than that!"

Claude just gave Dawson a look. A look that said 'you're going to talk about yourself like that, really?' She then sighed softly and shook her head a bit. "Thanks." She replied simply, and quirked a brow at him and his goading. She switched her pistol to her other hand, rolling her shoulders to loosen them up.

"Don't count on it." She told him in earnest. "This pattern I have going this spar isn't normal." That being said, she fired at his shield.

Oblivious to the meaning of her look—for Dawson's life mostly comprised of self-effacing but biting humor—he tilted his head. Well, first he grunted as the shot knocked the shield into his face, but he quickly wiped a hand over his brow, took a breath, and got back into position, ignoring how hiss nose smarted.

"Well, that's what practice's for, yeah? I think yer doin' just fine, hun," he said brightly. "Ain't a bad start s'far's I'm concerned. Plus that one got me, hah!" He switched arms as well, starting to feel the weight of his weapon pull him forward. "Think ya wanna try that big attack thing again?"

Nevermind that he looked tired and that his shield was on the verge of breaking.

The thought because you're too nice was what flitted through Claude's mind, but said nothing else on the matter. "We'll see." She replied idly in regards to using a charged attack. Even if he was defending, it wasn't hard to see he was worn out, and nearing the end of his shield limit, she didn't doubt. Claude wasn't into over kill...unless the receiving end was someone like Cee.

She shot at him again, aiming for the middle of his shield.

We'll see translated as an Almost Yes, which was close enough. The strain the battle was putting on him became more and more evident, and with Claude's next shot he looked downright ready to fall over in exhaustion. But Dawson could be dangerously stubborn if his coward switch wasn't flipped on, and looking good for Pretty Girls was a good way to keep him going. Even if he was audible panting now.

He let the charge go and felt the familiar fiery warmth spread and enhance his shield, though even his partner sounded a little weary expending the Fear. You'd best hope she tries it now, I doubt I can hold this up for very long, the chimera bleated, both proud that he was still going and also annoyed when it was obvious he wasn't going to last.

"R-Right, ah...Ready when you are?" Please don't leave him hanging. Please don't hit too too hard. Please don't laugh either way oh God what had he done.

Claude eyed him contemplatively for a long moment. Once more. She braced her pistol with her other hand, and aimed for the dead center of Dawson's shield once more. She let off her charged attack, a volley of bullets spraying him once again. It lacked some of the power from the first try today, but she was still pleased with herself.

After the attack, Claude de-summoned her weapon. One hand went to her hip while the other pushed her hair back over her shoulder.

"We're done."

While his shield did hold by a sliver, upon its dispersal Dawson fell on his a**, exhausted. Syntyche disappeared shortly after.

"Y-Yeah," he panted, lifting his cap and fanning himself down. He could feel the sweat rings forming in his shirt and lamented another necessary use of stain remover to the max to get the smell out later. "Don't mind me, m'just gonna...sit here fer a bit..."

By which he meant fall onto his back and just stare up at the sky until he caught his breath.

Eventually Claude's thumbs hooked into her pockets as she strolled her way over to where Dawson had fallen. She stood off to the side of him, peering down with a lidded gaze. "In regards to what you said earlier." Claude started.

"Pairing up as a Moon and Sun." While she was not the type to seek out others, this went beyond her social preference. This was about the job she needed to do as a Hunter here on the Island, and it was a normal, not to mention smart, practice for Suns to pair up with Moons. So far, Dawson was one of the few, if not one of the more capable ones she'd seen, if him standing up to two of her charged attacks meant anything. It was in her best interests to pursue this.

"When do we start training?"

The question didn't seem to register at first. "U-Uh..." He wheezed a little more and swallowed before wiping at his face with a much too sweaty sleeve. Then it hit him, and he looked up at Claude in surprise. "Wait, y'mean...aww man, you serious?" he asked, a hopeful look dawning.

A brow quirked, as if to ask are you really asking me if I'm serious.

"Yeah." She said. "Unless you have another Sun already." Then obviously it was a no go. Regardless, Claude held out a hand to help him back to his feet.
