Yeah. It's stupid, but it's fun. *thinks of Bard, laughs a little* And a good way to settle disagreements.
*tosses the tape over his head into the trash can. Score. Luke turns back to Mel, trying not to look too proud.*

*Melli applauds, if rather mockingly*
Indeed. And are you any good, darling?

*Luke smirks, unamused by the applause.*
*thinks, shrugs* I don't box professionally. I know how.

Hm, so you're not then? *she sighs as though it were a shame* Box . . . I assume it's a form of hand to hand combat . . ?

Yeah, boxing's a combat sport. You wear padded gloves, and you can only attack and defend with your fists. Tradiationally fights only last three minutes, but it depends how regulation you want it to be. It takes place in a ring, that's roped off.
*He turns around to fix her a drink. He adds, as an afterthought* You know, I didn't say I was bad at it.

*Melliandra listens, thoughtfully, and then grins at that last statement*
Well in that case, my dear . . . *she hops back to her feet, rests one hand on her hip and motions him forward with the other* Show me.

*smile fades, blank stare* Show you what?
*blinks, looks at her like she's crazy* What? How to box?

Or more to the point, how you box. *she chuckles and shifts her weight slightly* Let's see if you and your futuristic fighting style can hold up.

*barks a laugh and turns back to making Mel her drink*
Yeah. I don't think so, sweetheart.

No? *Mell lifts an eyebrow, eyes laughing* I didn't realize you found me so intimidating, darling.

*nods to her like 'yeah...right', half grin*
I don't fight chicks. *pours different alcohols into a mixer, shakes it* Sorry. Nothing personal. Just a rule I have.

So you refuse my challenge because I'm a woman, do you? *she brushes her hair back from her face haughtily* Why, my dear boy, I do believe I ought to be offended. And here I thought yours was a time of equality between the sexes!
Now I'm going to have to make you fight me, on principle alone.

*Luke rolls his eyes and turns to her.* Hey, I believe in a woman's right to vote, free speech, equal pay, a speedy trial, whatever. Relax, babe. I'm -not- gonna fight you.
C'mon. You want this drink or not?

*Mell waves her hand dismissively* Now, I suppose I could provoke you . . . hardly a challenge. *she muses aloud* Or, of course, I could just attack you until you're forced to fight back in self defense. Really, though, there's not much finesse in that . . .
Perhaps, then, I should entice you with a little bargain ... *she rubs her chin thoughtfully*

*Luke is fairly pleased that she ex-nayed the last two options, but he doesn't need her to know that.*
*scoffs, sets her drink on the bar* Yeah, alright.
The only thing you're forgetting is the step where uh... you have something to bargain with. *grabs his own drink*
