Candace was getting annoyed. She thought the men here were men, not pathetic little boys. Jordan hadn't exactly been easy but she he'd given up too soon. She wasn't done playing with him and he'd decided to go all 'oh no I am hurt I am going to lay here in a pool of my own blood hoohoooooooo!' on her, Before wouldn't stop apologizing and just..ugh! They needed to grow a pair, obviously!
She left the gym in a huff, walking back out onto the training field and looking all around. Someone. Anyone. She needed more people to fight. To kill. Everyone here was just a bunch of pansies! Where was everyone? Were they scared? Yes, that must have been it. Candace let out a laugh, tilting her head back a moment and staring up at the sky. She'd had Circe a few hours and she still felt on top of the world. No, she felt better than top of the world. The first time she held Circe it had only been for a few minutes, now it had been a few hours. No wonder Caelius had, despite his injuries, done so well during that last mission; it was because of the scythe. There was a vicious snarl in the back of her head but she ignored it, laughing again and giving a shout. "Is there no one with any balls around here?! SERIOUSLY!?"

Ariane wasn't normally one to respond to a yell like that, but she was bored and obviously had no other things to do; besides, it must be fate that brought her here just as someone was yelling for balls! Either way, she made her way towards the voice...
"Ah, Candace, right?" She eyed the female, "You sound frustrated."

Candace heard a voice and turned, grinning at the little watermelon-haired girl. Ah, she remembered her. "Hey there, princess~." She waved a few fingers, carrying Circe's scythe form in one hand. "Ohhh, yes. I'm very frustrated." Pouting her lips, she lifted the six-foot-tall glowing blue scythe and hugged it, pressing her cheek against the handle and giving Ariane a sad look.
"I've been playing with the boys and none of them want to anymore. Will you play with Circe and I, Princess?"

... So that's what she was doing with that.
"Mm, tempting," She summoned her weapon, the chains falling into the palm of her hand as she held on tightly, "Are you still sane?" She couldn't help but have a bad feeling about this; what was she even doing with Caelius' scythe?

Candace got one look at Ariane's weapon and burst out laughing, releasing Circe with one hand so she could hold it against her stomach as she doubled over. Ahaha! She asked for balls and that was exactly what she got! A girl with literal balls of steel! The sobered up just slightly at Ariane's question and lifted her head, still grinning. "Wow, you're the first person to ask about me and not why I have Circe." She was proud! And somewhat relieved. She was getting damn tired of people asking her why she had Circe. She held Circe with both hands now and held her with the blade pointed toward Ariane, positioning herself so she was ready for a quick strike.
"I dunno. Let's find out. You first, Princess."

"What Caelius give to you is not of my concern," She simply shrugged; he might not be the most considerate boss ever, but he had never been reckless or stupid... So far, anyway, and Ariane was hoping that it was still true... And it's not like Candace would be stupid enough to steal their superior's weapon.
'I figured,' She paused before taking a offensive stance, her brow furrowing in concentration. For a moment, it looked like she had changed her mind about attacking... Until she struck out all of a sudden, swinging her weapon out towards the woman.

Candace waited...and waited.
Oh shi--! She gasped and ducked out of the way of the steel balls, one of them glancing against her shoulder. Well damn. Ow. She grinned. "Nice try, Princess." She turned and swung in the same motion, not even aiming for anywhere in particular.

"Ah, SHI-"
The fear shield did its job, but she could still feel a sharp pain where Candace had cut her, near her neck; it actually took a lot to hold back the urge to yell out, but she somehow managed to condense it into one loud swear... Not that it was any better.
"That scythe hit harder than anything I've ever felt before," She laughed, clutching the area where Candace had hit her, her nails digging into the skin. The praise was obviously not directed at her, however, "Too bad it's not yours." It's the weapon, not the weilder; that was what Kintama was telling her.
'That must be true, for you to address me by name or not be concentrating on how her coat brings out her chest,' She gritted her teeth, hanging back for another second before rushing towards her target again, using more force than before.

The swearing had her laughing, actually giving Ariane a breather long enough to recover from the swing. She even showed a bit of pride as Ariane complimented the scythe, grinning at it and petting its handle with one hand. "Isn't she beautiful? And so powerful. And when I hold her she gives me this..rush. It's amazing. It's one of the best feelings I've ever experienced. It's...there're no words that could do it justice." But then Ariane added that the weapon wasn't hers and she stopped to just look at her. Was she trying to get a rise out of her? She had to be. Candace was well aware that Circe wasn't hers, and so all she did was sigh and roll her eyes. Really now? That was a rather pathetic attempt if it was seriously Ariane's way of getting a rise out of her or something equally stupid.
"Blah blah not my weapon, yeah yeah. Like I haven't heard that one a hundred times already." One of the balls slammed against her shoulder and she winced, actually briefly losing feeling in one of her hands and stumbling back away from Ariane while she shook that arm like it had fallen asleep. ********, that was an annoying sensation. It tingled rather painfully, too! She used one arm to swing the scythe at Ariane now, at least until the tingling was gone.

"Like a drug," She panted with a grin, her grip tightening around the chains of her weapon, fighting back the pain she felt; if this was a normal battle - if there was no such thing as a Fear Shield... She would must likely be laying down on the ground, in a pool of her own blood by now. Perhaps sliced up and dead.
"Don't think you'll be this good with your own weapon," She wasn't taunting, surprisingly, just stating her opinions as she tried to dodge the next attack. Sadly, she felt the scythe rip through her very being, causing her to yell out, unable to hold it in.
'Yeah, no.' She hissed mentally before pushing forward, swinging her weapon at Candace even as her body yelled at her to stop; she was hurting, but something told her to keep going - pride, maybe? Or the fact that she didn't want to lose to a druggie.

"Sure. That works." She had no experience with drugs so she could only imagine that this was hot drugs felt. Sure. She'd roll with that. Candace smirked and rolled her eyes again at Ariane's comment. "I'm sure I'll do better with my own weapon once I know how to use it." Atropos was more difficult to use than just swinging a scythe, after all.
She was getting bored of talking though. Especially about what they were talking about. The scythe came around again, finally using two arms.

"You'll never learn like this," She retorted, although she had to admit that the scythe was just... Really impressive. Strike, after strike, after strike - they seem to hurt more and more. She couldn't seem to dodge, and it doesn't seem to miss her at all.
She ignored the voice in her head, concentrating instead on her target - on Candace. Her heart was thumping in her chest, and it was almost painful to breath; she had exhausted so much energy in this short fight that she was sure her limbs would be aching like they were on fire tomorrow, after a night's rest. She stood back, trying to catch her breath, and then wordlessly, swung Kintama out again.
'Do that, and I might really die.' There was something that sounded vaguely like a strained 'UGH' before her weapon finally fell silent.

Ugh. Just shut up already. This wasn't fun anymore. "Ariane? Are you trying to make me angry or something?" Candace did sound irritated as she asked this, though it may have been more annoyance at Ariane's insistence to keep bringing it up. Seriously now.

"Not sure," She replied, wincing as she felt a sharp pain travel up her legs, causing her to almost stumble and fall as she attacked, "You mad?"

Candace grinned, shrugging. "Not especially." She turned the scythe, side-swiping Ariane's legs with the back side instead of the blade this time.
