If Armagnac'd had arms, she would have been shaking Sherry. "Fine," Sherry huffed and reached for her phone. Armagnac was very close to actually whining, and Sherry really didn't want that. [A.V.] Text to Jerkface: Hey. You wanna claim one of those spars I owe you? Training grounds. I'll be waiting. Thanks! "There, happy?" She closed her phone and found a wall to wait next to. Sherry shook her head. You are more excited about it than I am. To be fair, though, she wasn't exactly sure what she would do with a flask that never seemed to run out of wine. Except drink it, of course.

Having finally finished his mission reports thanks to an overly-persistent and naggy death trainee, Jake was currently "recuperating", face buried in his pillow.
He made sure to lock the door after he had FINALLY managed to get Solia out. It seemed he was only running into girls on this island. Or... mostly girls. If he were a normal male hunter, he wouldn't be complaining, but he was far from normal. Not to mention all the girls were complete nutcases and had no respect for personal space. Really.
Jake's response was muffled, but it sounded unpleasant.
Another muffled reply, which sounded vaguely like a swear word.
He lay there for several more minutes until one of his legs started going numb.
... wait. Why was it vibrating?
The pillow moaned loudly.
This didn't pacify him, but he still managed to roll over and pull his phone out of his pocket.
If it was Solia harassing about how he didn't fill out those mission reports properly...
The words "Annoying Girl" flagged the text, and Jake gave a quick sigh, and scanned the message quickly.
A spar. Yes. That was JUST what he needed.
Making sure the dagger was still tucked in his sash, he grabbed the keys and rushed out the door, managing to text with one hand as he fumbled clasping Chester to his sash.GrnGriff Text to Annoying Girl:Great. I needed to hit something. Will be there soon.

Her phone buzzed. Armagnac purred as Sherry read the response. That was just what the girls wanted to hear. More or less. Battle conditions were needed in order to test out this wine, and training dummies didn't really hit back. She fully planned on hitting him, of course. "Well, we can always count on him for wanting a fight." Oh, he has others? Sherry was unclear on Armagnac's opinion of the death trainee. She seemed to both respect and dislike the guy. <...Perhaps. I have not yet decided.> "Let me know when you do." In the meantime, she'd keep an eye out for him.

Jake didn't bother checking or answering the text, because by the time he received it, he was almost at the training grounds.
Taking a moment to stop and summon Chester, he took a quick glance around.
... good. No one else around.
That didn't assure him, but he decided to let it go... for now.
Turning his attention towards Sherry, he smirked.
"You ready?"

And there he was. Rather quickly, too.
"Of course," she returned his smirk and summoned Armagnac. "I called you down here, didn't I?"

"So. How ya been?" she asked, stepping into position. "Do anything interesting lately?" It was polite conversation, and sure, it might not have had much place in a spar, but it wasn't like Jake talked to her much anyway. "Figure out anything about your artifact yet?" As she asked it, she moved in for a half-hearted attack. She was curious about that knife, after all. HP: 40/40 Target: Jake Damage: 0

Sherry's question only warranted a groan.
"If by interesting, you mean forced against my own will to do some completely redundant and useless task, then sure."
Talking about the artifact though made him a bit happier.
"Yah. Seems it helps enhance my attack power..."
She doesn't need to know that.
Shut up.
He swung the tonfas at Sherry, barely hitting her.

She might have laughed at his first response. Only a little, though. She was sure it couldn't have been that bad.
She raised an eyebrow at his second response. "Really? Nice."
It's what was there.
No, not yet. We need to see how the battle goes...so we can see if it actually does something. Silly Armagnac. No head for science.
She focused her attention back on Jake. "You really should hit me harder than that," even as she spoke, she took a swing of her own at him.

He frowned and swung back.
"Don't tell me how to fight."
His eyes lingered on the vial on her belt.
Or... well, more her belt. He couldn't really see the vial from this angle
"You figure out what that thing does?"

"I'm not," Sherry shrugged, "but I didn't ask you down here to dance." She was kind of hoping he'd do some damage.
"Hm?" Her eyes would have followed his, but that would be silly in a fight. However, judging from the context of the situation, she knew what he was talking about. "To a point. It's full of...liquid. And it doesn't seem to run out." She'd tried to empty it.
"That's why you're here. I'm trying to figure out if it would be useful in a battle. Which is why," another swing, this one from the side, "I need you to hit me."

"Does it LOOK like I'm ******* dancing?!"
As if in response, he swung the tonfas, aiming to hurt.
It didn't do a LOT of damage, but hopefully proved his point.
(Really. You don't want to see him dance. Ever.)
"A bottle of liquid that doesn't run out." he mused.
"Yah, that sounds pretty useless."

"I certainly hope this isn't how you dance." Sherry almost laughed. Not about the cut, but the reaction he'd given her. "I was kidding, silly. No need to get upset."
She answered his musings by stepping back and swinging her blade up from below.
"It's not entirely useless," she added thoughtfully on the follow through of the last swing. "Pretty potent, actually."

He only scoffed at her, and winced when she hit him with the blade.
Well, at least she seemed to be doing better than the last time they sparred.
"I'm NOT." he muttered, and swung the blades again.
"Oh? Then why don't you DRINK it?"

Sherry only smiled at him. Then she took another swing with the bladed end of her weapon. Armagnac was busy being happy. She didn't even bother to comment on the conversation. "I will drink it, the whole point of this spar is to see if it does anything in battle. I was just hoping you'd hit me a little harder before I did." If it did anything useful in battle, Sherry hoped it would be one of two things. Extra strength or healing. Or, you know, just make a person feel ten-feet tall and bullet-proof. And giggly. Armagnac would not approve if this were the case. HP: 32/40 Target: Jake Damage: 5

Jake grit his teeth and focused on hitting.
He was TRYING, dammit, he was trying ok.
His owner has amazing dice luck. Blame her.
