*It had been warm enough for long enough that Sollux figured the snow and cold wasn't coming back anytime soon. So time to go onto something he'd been considering for awhile...he hadn't needed it before, but here with his powers dampened so much

You know how to throw a punch?

[Commentlog] TOPH IS A MONSTER TRUCK

[rocklikerunaway]

[She brings her elbow down and her knee up, shielding her middle from the blow, but taking it hard on her forearm instead. Well, he didn't miss.

Straight away she strikes back with her other arm, aiming an elbow at his chest and quick cut at his neck to follow through. She's not trying to hit him hard, but they're no fairy-taps either.]

[Commentlog] its hard to be a truck ;;

[thii2ii22tupiid]

*He's trying to pay attention to what she's doing, and thus manages to not move fast enough to avoid the elbow to his chest, but he does evade the chop to his neck.*

Wait, hold up a couple seconds, this is important.
You know we get punished for fighting, right? I don't know if it counts if everyone agrees or not, though.

*Except they didn't get punished last time...but the keep could be behind again.*

Or if no one gets hurt.

[Commentlog] But you just gotta... Keep on trucking B)

[rocklikerunaway]

Pffft.

You still call it a fight if no-one gets hurt?

[Wuss.]

Whatever, I promise I won't hurt you.

[Commentlog]

[thii2ii22tupiid]

I call it a fight, its just not a very good fight.

*Sollux laughs.*

I don't care if you hurt me or if I get punished again, I just don't want you bitching at me for getting you put on trial without warning you.

[Commentlog]

[rocklikerunaway]

Well then what're you waiting for?

[She's not going to whine if she gets punished. She can take it.]

Bend your knees more and try it again. You're standing like you've got fence posts for legs. Old fence posts.

Re: [Commentlog]

[thii2ii22tupiid]

*Sollux has no idea wtf a fence post is, but this probably isn't the time to ask. Something he doesn't want to emulate, apparently.
He adjusts his stance and tries to punch her in the gut again. Still not very certain on what he's doing, but he does put what power he can behind the strike.
Sadly, he doesn't have much power in that area.*

[rocklikerunaway]

[The problem with repeating stuff, even just for practise, is that you get predictable. Toph hadn't blocked that move well the first time. This time she easily recognized the shift in weight and it was child's play to step back and aside.

She didn't fight back. He was gonna have to try something else. Besides, in a real fight people didn't take turns.]

Re: [Commentlog]

[thii2ii22tupiid]

*Hey, she said to try that again so he tried the same thing!
But as she shifts back he tries to strike at her shoulder.*

[Commentlog]

[rocklikerunaway]

[That one, she isn't expecting, and she's late on the block. Oh she still manages to catch some of it on her forearm, but his fist still strikes her shoulder and that makes it his point.

If fights had points.

Which they don't.

She steps and pivots to absorb the shock and aims three quick jabs at his mid-section in reply. Gotta give him something to do.]

[Commentlog]

[thii2ii22tupiid]

*Sollux is splitting his attention a bit better this time, so as she starts to move he jumps backwards and manages to avoid the hits.
He doesn't move to attack again, though, since he's still weighing his options.*
