Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Yes sir, you'd be correct." She still had her pistol out, ready to go, but once again, Chance had made the move of ending their spar. Once again, she didn't doubt, he still had a fair amount of shield left, and once again, he ended it without rubbing it in her face. She wasn't used to be treated with that kind of courtesy. After a moment, she desummoned her weapon as well, and hooked her thumbs into the pockets of her pants.

She listened to him with a tilt of her head. Her question had been something of a tease, something of curiosity, but she was pleased with the answer. There was also something of a relief, to think, that at least one person on this island would always tell her a matter in face value. "The sentiment is returned." She replied, and paused before also replying: "This is also the second time you came out ahead in a spar..." One hand left her side to point at him, and a small smirk pulled at her lips.

"I will get you."

"It's because of my rich and privileged upbringing." She replied without skipping a beat, that smirk still tugging at her lips, not one bit offended at all. "You should listen to my brother." She mused. "Formal and clinical." But on second though...hopefully Chance wouldn't listen to Lex anytime soon. Lex would immediately jump to conclusions about this friendship she was working on, and while she didn't care what her brother thought in this regard...it would be one less hassle to worry about right now.

Didn't need Lex going all dad on her.

Claude snapped out of her musings as she felt an arm around her shoulder, and looked at Chance for a moment, her lips crooked in something between a smirk and a smile. A hand reached up, and some rings and knuckles brushed across the skin of the cheek furthest away from her before she curled a finger around a lock of his dark hair.

"Smart a**."

She gave the curl a playful tug. "Fine. I'll get you lunch...and I'll get you one day."
