Concetta had been struggling with her whips. Each spar she'd had ended badly and half the time she couldn't even HIT was she was aiming at. The petite bombshell decided that embarrassing herself over and over was pointless. So she halfheartedly whipped a dummy by herself on the training fields.

iloveyouDIE OMG YOU STARTED IT FOR ME BLESS U FOREVER GOD I LOVE YOU SO MUCH RIGHT NOW HALO
That long, enthusiastic explanation accurately represented how Harland felt, at that moment.
Of course, he was going to go over and beg for a fight. As he walked, he took his cowboy hat off, and pressed it against his chest, so that when he approached her, two things happened first: "I'm Harland Leander Belle, miss, an' I was wonderin' if ye'd do me the honour of sparrin' with me, in light of the fact your weapons'd make for one amazin' fight," he said, tipping his hat off his chest in greeting. He put it back on top of his sunny hair, and smiled at her. "Death Division, in case the goat didn't give it away," he added, which he usually tacked on to his name, but had forgotten in his excitement.

"Well howdy cowboy?" Cee's initial reaction had been startled, not expecting someone to approach, but she relaxed into a cat-like smirk when Harland spoke to her. "Yea I remember you from the uhh meeting thing right?" He was tall and good looking. His accent was kinda cute and he had a gentlemanly manner that she'd just love to spoil. "Well I'm pretty s**t wit dese things.." But she sighed, as if perhaps it was a minor chore, and then smiled. "But ya asked so nice Mister Harland Leander Belle." Cee had put on her own (poor) cowboy accent when she said his name. "I'm Cee by the way." She offered a finely manicured hand. "Pleasure."

In fact, Harland was surprised that she remembered. It had only been once, briefly, and he honestly had yet to go back to the Sahara. "Yeah, that's where we first met," Harland agreed, his sunny smile only expanding.
Despite the threat of danger, Deus had done a lot to warm him up, and make him more presentable. He had lost most of the haunted look from his face, and Alistaire had once said something to him that had soothed a part of his heart he didn't know was so damaged. Alistaire had told him that his mother's death was not his fault, and her descent into madness equally left him blameless. That burden had weighed on him.
He was a lot happier, now, without it. And since most of his demeanor was careful affectation, it would be pretty difficult to spoil, though for someone who looked like trouble with a capital T it wouldn't be surprising if Cee was better at it than most. "All the more reason to practice, an' ye never know if you're maybe stronger against my type of wea--" Harland paused, realizing she had tried to imitate him? He started to laugh.
"Are ye after imitatin' me?" Harland asked, amused. "Much more endearin' on you than on me," he added, with a wink. Harland reached his hand out and shook hers.
"No use in hesitatin', let's begin?" Harland asked, eager to try her fighting style. Like a secret fanboy. whips whips whips.

"Oh ain't you a flatterer." Cee giggled. "I know I can't do accents worth s**t." She actually slapped him playfully on the chest before backing up and summoning her weapon.

Cee paused, eyeing Harland up, and launched at him before he could get her first. Surprisingly she was quick on her feet and got close enough that the metal whips successfully wrapped around his forearms. They seemed to cut into him, the seemingly smooth metal actual shaped into blades, and when she yanked them back again she was confident she'd done some damage. HP: 40/40 Dmg: 7 Charge: 1/3

When Cee suggested he was a flatterer and hit his chest, Harland looked down at her hand and up at her face with a sort of puzzled smile, like he wasn't really sure what was happening but it seemed to be okay that it was. "I s'pose I am," he admitted, his face turning a little red. He rubbed the back of his neck.
Which was the moment Cee chose to strike, apparently. Harland laughed, startled. "Just as fast as I'd hoped!" he said, admiring it, and grateful the shields kept serious damage at bay. It didn't mean he didn't feel it, though, and the raking along his forearms sucked. Thankfully, summoning Coyote had diminished the pain on one arm; having such a gauntlet was nice more often than not.
Apart from that, it actually didn't matter if Harland was fighting close up or at a distance: he levelled his palm at Cee and deployed his hookshot at her.

"Whoah.." Cee took the hit, momentarily struck because she hadn't expected whatever that thing was. It dinged her shoulder but she shot one whip out, tangling it with the other line, and yanked his shoulder hard. "What issat thing?" --- HP: 35/40 Dmg: 2 Charge: 2/3

Harland winced as the bladed whip tugged on him hard. That was an effective way to mess his shots up. And yet he still grinned, because he was fangirling hard over Cee's weapons. "It's a gauntlet-hybrid," he said, "named Coyote. My deputee," he said, pleased with himself.
It turned out Harland was literally useless at fighting Cee, because he was so busy being excited about her whips that he really just wanted to see how they worked. He was having a tough time focusing through the emotion_kirakira daze.[[ HP : 31/40 DMG: 0 Charge: 1/3 ]]

Cee snapped her whip again, finding she also couldn't attack when they were tangled like that. She took a step back and propped her hand on her hip a moment, "Does'at make you tha sheriff? " -- HP: 35/40 Dmg: 0 Charge: 2/3

Harland beamed, proudly. "Sure does, yeah," he said.
Coyote grumbled quietly internally, because he hadn't exactly enjoyed allowing Harland to call him deputee. After some serious soul searching and teamwork exercises in the way of near-death experiences, however, Harland had convinced him.

"Sounds crazy, haha.." Cee found it a bit amusing he nicknamed himself that, unless he was literally a sheriff. "Ya know I met a couple'a other cowboys. You guys should fight it out for the title." Her whip licked out and got him across the cheek. HP: 35/40 Dmg: 1 Charge: 3/3

Harland shrugged, his easy smile fading a little. "Nah," he said, dismissively, without any explanation. He hadn't really nicknamed himself, as far as he knew. It was just a thing with Coyote.
The idea that anyone else was a part of it repulsed him. Besides, he wasn't a real cowboy; he knew that. He didn't want to meet the "other ones." When he'd first arrived here, there was no one like that. Now there were many, and he saw them around now and then.
On the bright side, now that he was less excited about the whips, he was focused. He slashed the cable towards Cee.

The claw got her again but Cee countered with a slash from each side this time. On contact with Harland, the smooth metal seemed to sharpen into blades, but when Cee withdrew them and touched them in her own hands, they were smooth - almost liquid - metal. "Well sheriff..." She winked. "I'm a pretty bad girl. I made need some time in lockup." Her weapon glowed, ready for a charge, but she was biding her time. -- HP: 35/40 Dmg: 4 Charge: 3/3

Harland shook his head. "That's just what Coyote an' I call me now 'n again when I've done somethin' right," he said, serious again. He half-smiled.
"Death Division lockup, ye think that'd be pleasant?" he asked, teasing. Normally, he might have flirted with her because it was fun, but after the sheriff thing he wasn't really feeling it.
