Would anyone in Luceti be willing to spar with me? I've been getting soft here, and I need to keep in shape. [Not to mention, he needs something to do. There was no ocean to freely travel on anymore, and only one nakama here to help him out. Yes, Luceti has put quite the damper on him as of late.]

I would like it if I could spar with someone who has

[Oh, hey, it's that princess that helped her back during the event!]

I'd love to spar with you, and I'm sure there are other people in Luceti who'd want to, too! But you can also go to the Battle Dome to train on your own as well.

Okay, I'll see you in a few minutes!

[Pao-lin will show up at the fountain not long after this message (she lives pretty close to the plaza) all smiles and cheer, dressed in a T-shirt, gym shorts, and sneakers, and carrying a small sports bag.]

[action]

[hiken_ace]

[He sees her coming, and stands up to wave and smile in return to her.]

Hey, Pao-lin!

[action]

[lightningcute]

Hi, Ace! [She grins brightly.] It's nice to see you again. [Even if you're not wearing that sparkly tiara. :|a]

[action]

[hiken_ace]

Nice to see you, too!

Not running into anymore trees, right? [Punch him. DO IT.]

[action]

[lightningcute]

[Ace is so lucky that Pao-lin is a well-mannered tomboy. So she'll just cross her arms and pout at him.]

Nope! [Tiny, slightly awkward smirk.] I was only running into trees because it was better than seeing you in that dress, anyway.

[OH MAN DID THE FIRE MAN JUST GET BURNED?]

[action] wow, nice pun xD

[hiken_ace]

[...oh it's on now, kid.]

In my opinion, the dress was better than physical harm.

[BUT HE STILL DIDN'T LIKE IT.] And if you didn't like seeing me in it, I'm pretty sure we can get one for you.

[action] *bows*

[lightningcute]

N-no way! I'd look horrible in a dress! [Lies. She is fucking adorable.] I don't like that sort of thing anyway.

[If Ace has a death wish, he'll continue goading Pao-lin on this subject. :|a]

[action] /applauds!

[hiken_ace]

Aw, come on. A cute kid like you? You'd look great!

[He does not have a death with, BUT HE CAN'T RESIST.]

[action]

[lightningcute]

[FROWNY FROWNFACE.]

D-don't call me cute! I'm not cute at all!

[Keep on denying it, Pao-Pao. It just makes you cuter.]

[action]

[hiken_ace]

[He just laughs.] Of course you are! Trust me, I've met a lot of people.

You're definitely cute.

[action]

[lightningcute]

[Pao-lin huffs and begins walking off. She'll get him back later in the Battle Dome, yes she will!]

Let's just go to the Battle Dome, okay? It's a bit of a walk, so we should start heading over now so we can spend some time there and get back to the plaza before it gets dark.

[action]

[hiken_ace]

[Holding in his laughter now like a good person.]

All right. Lead the way.

[action]

[lightningcute]

[And Pao-lin gladly does so, taking up a slightly brisk gait to keep ahead of Ace a bit.]

So, um, what sort of fighting do you do? Do you do kung fu, or are you more like a boxer, or something else...?

[action]

[hiken_ace]

I'm not really a specialist in any certain martial art. I mainly just use my powers and the fighting skills I developed myself.

[action]

[lightningcute]

[Powers? Pao-lin is tres, tres interested.]

What kind of powers do you have?
