She hadn't even noticed that Chance had missed her. That was how dedicated she was to the floor at that moment. "Talk about what?" She muttered, a little fire back in her voice but in the wrong kind of way. She lifted her head to find him again, and jutted her trident gracefully - and a weakly - against his body. "About how bad I suck at this today? Because I definitely don't want to talk about that." Quote: HP: 26 Damage: 3 Charge: 3/3

His brows rose at the tone of her voice, but he wasn't about to press it, the trident snapping against his side. Chance took several hasty steps backwards, trying to get a better feel for using his weapon this way. Short range was something he wasn't used to, but the blades on the bow were there for a reason.
"We don't have to talk," he said, his own tone neutral. A glancing blow was knocked against Maebe's leg. "I'm just here for steam, after all."

"Steam." She repeated, the fire in her eyes dying out. "Right. Of course. Me too. Sorry." Her attack was muted, empty, nothing more than a jab. She reached out, with a guilty smile on her face, and shoved Chance right on the shoulder. "Maybe I was just trying to steam you up a little. Would be nice." Quote: HP: 25 Damage: 1 Charge: 3/3

He wondered if he'd said something, perhaps, done something, but Chance was not in the habit of playing the victim, so he merely gave Maebe a little nod, batting at her weapon as she halfheartedly shoved him, feet sliding in the grass.
"I'm not so easily steamed up," Chance said with a light laugh, but he was regarding her curiously, head tilted to one side as he swung the bow around again, aiming at her left side.

She grinned. "You're really not, are you? I've noticed that about you. It's unique." She took his hit with a grunt, and tried to counter immediately, which one again had her attacking nothing but dead air. This time, she fell down into the grass, on her hands and knees. She would have been angry about it again, but this time, she laughed. "Maybe that's why I can't find any purchase on you. Your lack of a fire to stoke is tripping me up."

He quickly shifted out of her way, Maebe crashing down in front of him. She was laughing, at the very least; Chance found that more reassuring than her dead eyes and and far off expression that she'd been wearing for most of their spar so far.
"I found that getting riled up about things tends to lead to bad decisions in general, mostly," said Chance with a little smile. "Not all the time, but I do try and make it a point to stay laid back and calm about most things."
He swung the bow again, this time at a quick smack to her shoulder.

"They do!" She chirped brightly, countering his attack with a jump that had her landing with her trident pressed against the shield protecting the hollow of his collarbone. She dug, even as her feet came back down to the ground, and pulled the trident out of him with a knowing, feral grin. "That's why I like them. Because I'm a bad decision."

He was not going to coddle her by refuting her statement. Maebe was full of sharpness along with her sadness and loveliness at times, and full of things he wasn't sure of yet, because he didn't know her as well as others might have. Chance snapped the bow to the side, skidding in the grass at the force of her blow.
"And I'm generally the opposite, but that's okay,' said Chance with a smile. "I believe that's why I get along with a lot of people, actually."

Maebe's smile fell. Opposite.She liked Chance. She liked him so much. She tried to remind herself that he was a good man. He did good things. Good things for Otto. Because he was the opposite. Her nails dug into the hilt of the trident until they turned white with pain, and she surged forward at him, leaping into the air with a stab that held the power of misplaced anger behind it. His shield was the only thing that protected his pretty face from something Maebe never intended to show him. A woman scorned. Quote: HP: 9 Damage: 12 Charge: 3/3

Something clicked, snapped. Chance felt the smile slip from his lips, his mouth falling open slightly in bemusement, and then Maebe was rushing forward, her trident slamming into his shield with a sharp crack. He staggered backwards with a surprised yelp, Chance throwing his bow forward to try and throw her off. The prongs of her weapon were inches from his face, the FEAR shield the only thing keeping them from sinking into his head.
"Holy s**t, Maebe - " he said, Asher thrumming with concern inside of his head. "That was one hell of a punch."

She stumbled down to the ground and slid hard on her a**, the trident clattering uselessly beside her. The anger bled from her face, as she stared up at Chance, and let what she'd done slowly sink in. Guilt flashed in her eyes for a single moment, before she picked up the trident and threw it uselessly at him. It clattered against his shins before dissipating, leaving her prone and hurt and weak. A single sob wrenched itself from within her, but she refused to let the tears come. She knew she'd lost - in every sense, in every direction. Somewhere deep down, she'd thought - if she could have just won this spar, this one spar against him, then maybe - Maybe - "You win again." She muttered, letting her head fall down onto the ground behind her and closing her eyes. Quote: HP: 1 Damage: 3 Charge: 3/3

He hadn't realized how hard she'd hit him until he'd pushed her off, Chance's breath coming out in short gasps as he tried to regain his own footing. He swiped a hand over his face to get some of the curls out of his eyes and looked down at her. Maebe was sprawled on the ground, and he jumped backwards, the trident smacking his ankles.
There was no anger on Chance's face, nor was there confusion. Maebe's last muttered statement, her strangled sob, was clear enough in his ears, and slowly Chance lowered himself down, crouching in front of her. He didn't touch her, one hand still holding onto his bow, the tip of which was pointed into the ground.
"...Maebe?" Chance said quietly.

He watched her quietly, lips pressed together. Apologies wouldn't do any good; he was not sorry for how he felt about Otto, only sorry about how much pain Maebe was in now, huddled on the ground.
"Are you angry with me?" Chance asked instead, his voice soft, but not pitying.

"No." It was half whine, half growl, and filled with the frustration of an entire lifetime of loss. "I'm angry with him."
