Second red [Action, training center / BBS]

[Action][While all the students are cramming for their finals, Jason has... free time. And while everybody would consider that a good thing, Jason hates it. He hates having nothing to do with a passion. He loves keeping his body (and mind) busy. He tried to read, but one can only read so many books in a row without getting bored of reading

[Someone else has come to the training room today. She hasn't ever actually met Jason before, so this is a little strange. But she watches in silence, like usual, and simply takes in his movements. It's breathtaking, actually. He's a a good fighter. But this...

He's fighting his family. She doesn't like it.]

Why them?

[batmansphoenix]

[He curses when she talks, illusions dissipating when he loses the concentration. He can create them back, but it's a hassle.]

Why not?

[He raises an eyebrow, studying her. He doesn't know her... he thinks he would remember somebody like her.]

They are just good at fighting.

[She frowns.]

It's not just that, is it?

action;

[batmansphoenix]

...Maybe, but I'm failing to see how is it any of your business. Who are you, pretty?

[bodyreads]

Cassandra Cain.

[batmansphoenix]

I'd say it's nice to meet you, Cassie, but I don't particularly like it when people interrupt my training.

Did you need something?

action;

[bodyreads]

I wanted to train.

[That...actually gives her an idea. She tilts her head.]

Want a sparring partner?

action;

[batmansphoenix]

That depends. Are you any good, pretty?

[bodyreads]

[She shrugs, though there's a line of tension in her shoulders when he keeps saying that.]

I can show you.

[batmansphoenix]

[Sadly, Jason isn't as good as reading body language as Cass is.]

I do love a girl who can fight. Let's dance.

action;

[bodyreads]

[Good. Maybe he'll recognize the style. She pulls her hair up into its ponytail and then assumes her stance.]

You first.

action;

[batmansphoenix]

[He's launching at her before she even finishes the sentence]

action;

[bodyreads]

[Good. She turns, narrowly missing him by inches, but she seems light on her feet. She springs at him, striking for his shoulder, aiming for the nerves in his arm.]

Re: action;

[batmansphoenix]

[It hurts, a lot, but he manages to muffle back a cry of pain and move away, arms up in a defensive position.

He will be way more careful with her from now on... she's good, better than what he was expecting.]

Not bad.

action;

[bodyreads]

[She slides out of his reach and stays as she is, watching him. She's never fought Jason before, but if he could beat Tim and Dick-- She needs to be careful.

There's a faint smile on her lips.]

Thanks.

action;

[batmansphoenix]

[He tilts his head, humming. He doesn't have the experience the Jason on Cass' time has, but he's still good.

There's also something... familiar on the way Cass moves, the way she's waiting for him to attack and analyses him. But he can't really put his finger on it. It... kind of bothers him, so jumps to attack her again.

This time, he focuses on her legs.]
