Adrenalize Me

[Roxana Strix]

Roxana was hanging out in the Training Field area with her owl Delta who was sitting on her shoulder as she sat down in the grass and was drawing. Yes she should have been training and that was what she had planned to end up doing once she got here. The problem was she saw a really flower in bloom and could not help herself but to sit down and start to draw it in the little sketch book she carried around with her when she had a jacket on her. Today was another day to wear leather, even if it was a bit warm for leather, they were still more or less in the mountains so it was actually not that hot of a day; even less so with the sun being covered by the clouds at the moment. The flower was just so beautiful, so natural in all its purple beauty that the artistic part of Roxana could not help but to just take a moment to draw it.

Delta actually should have been off in a tree sleeping by now, but apparently he had decided to check in on the youngest Strix girl in the main bloodline of the family. Delta’s sharp talons already digging into her shoulder a little since he didn't want to be on the ground and her hands were busy. Roxana was ambidextrous after all and while she mainly used her right hand, at the moment she was drawing with the two of her hands in an attempt to get her drawing done faster. The sooner she got her drawing done, the sooner she could get to training, and the sooner she would not have a fully grown owl just sitting on her shoulders like it was nothing. The sun decided to give a little peek outside of the clouds, hitting the flower just right that worked great for Roxana's drawing.

Someone was coming over towards her and her owl. Delta picking up on someone coming closer first before his master. The owls head turning around to what would look like all the way around like owls could do. Looking at the female coming closer and blinking his eyes before letting out a hoot. "Need something?" Roxana would then ask after hearing the hoot and feeling the other person presence.

[Vera M. Solway]

It was very seldom now a days that you didn't catch Vera training by herself or working on a few moves or two in her lonesome. It was weird but she was finding it much more peaceful and calming by just staying away from others and focusing on herself. She had a lot going on in that head of hers to the point where it you could even go as far as saying that it was safest for her to be by herself. Being as involved with teams and school activities made it hard and she just hoped all of that would come to an end by the time she started college.

Making her way to the training field, she started strapping on her weight lifting gloves. Even though she wasn't going to be doing any weight lifting out here, having them on made doing cartwheels and handstands easier and put less stress on her palms. The closer she got to the field the more she noticed how nice it currently was outside and apparently someone else had felt the same way. There was a chick sitting over at the field while working in some sort of drawing book and the first thing that came into mind was when Roxana had been drawing Vera that one time at the pool. This time, it wasn't Vera she was drawing and this certainly wasn't the indoor pool and that was most definitely an own. When the fuck did they allow owls?

Of course, she and her owl had noticed Vera before she could even say anything about Roxana using up space for something other than training. The last time Vera saw Roxana she hadn't left the girl on good terms and to this day Vera wasn't going to apologize for her attitude. Vera soon stopped behind her.

"Need something?"

"Uh yeah. If you haven't noticed, hun. You're using up training space for your art lessons. You might wanna find a new spot unless you want to become a training dummy." Vera left it at that before she walked over to the other side a bit as she started stretching. Vera would give her a few minutes which was more than enough time for Rox to finish whatever she needed to get done before Vera started. She wasn't really here to make compromises with anyone, let alone Roxana.

[Roxana Strix]

The school did not allow owls. It was too large of a bird even if it could fit into a cage it needed a very large cage. Roxana had him as a pet, but it was one that was an outdoor pet that lived outside in some tree around the area. Feeding itself and taking care of itself; for the most part, unless it felt ill or had been hurt. It was still Roxana's pet sort of, so it naturally did want to hang out with her and to be petted. She did feed him from time to time but mostly Delta took care of himself since Roxana had to follow the school rules just like anyone else would and it was not like the school never did room expectations. It would have been pretty hard to hide an owl cage when they would come looking through her room. So Delta was an outdoor owl and he was only a half pet since he was more of a messenger bird of sorts.

Yes Roxana and Delta had picked up on Vera coming over before she actually got there but Delta didn't know who Vera was and even still it was not like Roxana had eyes in the back of her head or could turn her head around to see who it was. So no she had no clue that is was until she heard the voice. The voice that she quickly put with the name of Vera Marcello, who she knew from outside of their last little one on one meeting. That meeting that didn't go so well but Roxana had expected it since people didn't really seem to like her and Vera had made it clear that she did not like her Roxana seemed to not care about what was going on around her. Calling her emotionless that did stick with Roxana even now, but she just had not been thinking about it up until now. Vera answered the question but was not really answering the question. Roxana asked if she needed something and Vera's response more so amounted to go somewhere else or train instead of actually needed something. It had Roxana smiling a little as she worked on finishing up her drawing, moving her shoulder and causing Delta to get the hint.

Roxana closed her art book then as Delta took off and flew to land on a nearby tree to watch where he would not be in the way or hit by anything. "That’s not really telling me what you need from me. As for my location, I'm not in anyone’s way." Roxana gestured around them because the field was pretty large and there was not even that many people here, in fact Roxana was pretty sure that it was just her and Vera at the moment. Roxana started to stretch out then, going through her mind what she wanted to do for this self-training. Probably practice her stances, then her aim with her daggers, and then do some running. "Do you need a live training dummy to work with?" Roxana asked, and yes there was a hint of did you want some help in there, Roxana speaking in her normal tone of voice as she looked at her hands for a moment. Recalling something, then and looking up to Vera.

"How are you currently doing by the way?" Roxana asked as she started to form a crystal dagger in her hand, running her fingers over it and making sure that she kept to the same density and sharpness that she always did.

[Vera M. Solway]

Vera hadn't even cared about the fact that Roxana had an owl as some pet. She wasn't the snitching type and it looked pretty cool except for the fact that it was nosey and seemed to look at her like she was the one who was just inturrupting it's peace and space. Either way, Vera would continue to do what she had came here to do regardless if Roxana wanted to move or not. She never took the girl as anyone soft or the type to be intimidated so Vera wasn't going to say it more than once.

"That’s not really telling me what you need from me. As for my location, I'm not in anyone’s way." Without turning around, she continued to stretch as she answered her. "No, I'm pretty sure I made it clear." As for not being in anyone's way, Roxana was right but Vera wasn't going to tell her that. Instead she turned around and scoffed. "You want to be my training dummy?" Vera would give Roxana the benefit of the doubt. It had already been known how good the chick was and Vera even questioned it but now she would get to be a witness. Nodding, she smiled with a look that screamed 'Are you serious?'

"Okay, we'll train together." It was simple enough. Adjusting her weight lifting gloves so they could be on tight enough, she spat out an easy answer, "Fine." In which she wasn't, she was the complete opposite of fine but Roxana didn't need to know that.

"How about you?"

[Roxana Strix]

Roxana was not breaking any rules either way with her owl since it lived outside, sure they could have birds, but Delta was a bit big and needed more than a cage to call him home at night. Even back at home Delta had always lived outside, that was just the kind of owl he was. Roxana did have a hawk before that lived in a cage when it was not needed to carry messages but it was on such a message caring that someone had information slip about the bird carrying the information and what had to be a very hard search, he hawk had been killed for the information it carried on its back. Thankfully for the company they had a false report of information that bird was carrying. Sadly for Roxana, she did not know that the reports were fake and that her messenger hawk was basically a sacrifice to give false information. That kind of thing was needed sometimes, but it still made her cry the moment she was alone, back when she was a child.

"If you say so." Roxana responded back simply to Vera's words about having made herself clear. Roxana didn't see it as clear, saw Vera as wrong, but she would not point it out and just let it go. It was not really all that important and Roxana was used to dealing with situations such as this where a person was sort of 'prideful'. There was a scoff and the question about being a training dummy to which Roxana nodded her head. "I was thinking more so sparring partner, but if you just wish to attack me to take it. I could do that too." Roxana said, recalling a time in her training when she had to do just that. Allow herself to be beaten to a pulp, things be broken. All for the sake of building scar tissue and allowing her to get used to pain on different levels. Not being able to see, hear, feel, or breathe were all even a part of her training at one point, so if Vera wanted her to be a true living training dummy she could, but didn't actually want to.

Vera had seemed to get the idea either way and was up for them training together at the moment. Perfect, Roxana found training with another living being helped training go a lot better. Roxana starting to roll her shoulders and crack various parts of her body, getting nice and limbered up. There was that 'fine' that Roxana didn't by for a second. She didn't say anything but gave Vera a look. A look that basically was saying 'oh really?' with the doubt that Vera was actually fine. Roxana had known what the other girl had gone through and after their last meeting she did some more digging and found out even more about the girl. Vera did ask something that did surprise Roxana a little as she played with her soft hair. "Better than I was when I last met you. All healed up." Roxana pointed out as she moved her previously hurt hand that was all but fully healed now.

[Vera M. Solway]

"If you say so." It was so like Vera to have a smart comment after every comment that Roxana threw at her. That's just how she was: A sassy, stubborn, headstrong female with a smart mouth. She was a city girl, she couldn't help it... that's how the city raised her but this time she didn't really say much of anything back. Roxana had been one of the few among who Vera claimed as "The Baddest Bitches of BA". She was attractive, she could fight, she always seemed heartless in Vera's sense and you rarely saw her phased by anything or anyone. So she never expected Roxana to ever sit and allow Vera to talk to her any kind of way. Vera wouldn't be happy if she did because let's be serious now... The telekinetic loved a challange.

She mentioned sparring and Vera's eyes lit up. "Actually, sparring sounds like a good idea. I'd like a challenge." Vera also noticed the look Roxana gave her when she said she was fine but ignored it. "That's good. I always hated the healing process." Then again, she was always too stubborn to rest when she was banged up. It always made the process that much slower.

Facing Roxana, Vera's fists were slightly balled up and at her sides. Somewhat of a habit, "So.. you got any rules? I was thinking powers allowed, no set backs, no holding back. We can go until one of us taps out, or until we're both exhausted... I don't care either way." Vera hadn't been your average BA cheerleader, she had a history of Martial Arts, Acrobatics and Boot Camp training. So the last thing she wanted was for Roxana to hold anything back and if she just so happened to get to that point of near death Vera wouldn't mind. Wouldn't be the first time that she cheated death.

"Just hoping you're as good as the rumors let out. So don't disappoint me."

[Roxana Strix]

Roxana knew all too well that Vera probably was tempted to say something back that would be very sassy. She had talked to Vera before and she had observed the girl when they were on the Security Squad together and even more so after their first one on one official meeting. It had been short but it gave Roxana a small understanding of Vera and then looking into more information on the girl just allowed her to understand a little bit more. Well understand in a loose terms since fully understanding a person came best from observing then reading things down on their past and information about how they behaved in training and interacting with others. She did not know that she was in Vera's 'The Baddest Bitches of BA' and if she found out she probably would have had mixed feelings on if that was a compliment or an insult. Perhaps it was both, but since Roxana didn't even know about it she could not think about it.

"Then I shall be your challenger." Roxana said with a small smile, pleased that Vera seemed up for a bit of sparring. Roxana cracking her knuckles again, reaching into her jacket and pulling out some special tape. Wrapping up her knuckles after she tossed her jacket to the ground. Vera ignored the look that Roxana had given her when Rox was silently calling her out on her lie. That was fine; if Vera didn't want to talk about it then Rox was not going to push it. They had sparring to get to. "I don't think anyone who is action oriented likes the healing process." Roxana pointed out with a small chuckle. Basically saying that those who didn't like being 'helpless' or not being able to do something didn't like it when they had to take it easy and rest, even if it was what was best for them. Roxana completed wrapping up her hands a little bit and looked at Vera when she asked the question about any rules. Saying that they should be able to use their powers and not hold back. Only stopping when one would tap out or they were exhausted.

"Sounds fine to me. So long as you are fine with possibly seeing blood and knowing that I'm not going to hit you in the face. I'm not a fan of ruining such beauty if this is just for training." Roxana pointed out keeping her small smile, looking over Vera and reading what stance she was taking. She knew about Vera's background training and it was a pretty decent one. At least Roxana knew that she didn't have to go easy on the girl, but she would hold back in such a way to make sure to not end up seriously hurting the girl because this was for training and also because you were never supposed to let someone in on just how capable you were. Vera didn't trust her yet so Roxana could not trust Vera yet. Roxana did raise an eyebrow at Vera's words about hoping that she was as strong as the rumors were and not to disappoint Vera.

"They do say that rumors sometimes have a small bit of the truth to them. I'll try to not disappoint you." Roxana said and with that she already moved in close to close the distance between her and Vera. Immediately going for a side swipe to Vera's ribs, something that with Vera's training she could possibly block.

[Vera M. Solway]

"Then I shall be your challenger." A small smirk would creep onto Vera's face. Not that she was expecting Roxana to disagree, seeing how Vera wasn't sure if the girl had any hidden and backed up dislike towards her because of the incident at the pool. If it gave Roxana more of a push behind any moves that she made against Vera, then she was all for it. "Good." Vera adjusted her hair just to make sure it was sturdy and safe in a bun. She wasn't too sure of what Rox was into but if there would be any hair grabbing, Vera didn't want to be that victim. "That's true. Now only if we didn't have to deal with it."

"Sounds fine to me. So long as you are fine with possibly seeing blood and knowing that I'm not going to hit you in the face. I'm not a fan of ruining such beauty if this is just for training." She rolled her eyes and chuckled, "Blood doesn't bother me. Even if you wanted to, you couldn't fuck up my beautiful face. I've survived a plane crash and still look like a goddess." Was she being full of herself? Maybe but instead of thanking Roxana for the compliment, she invaded it. She didn't need it because she had enough compliments to last three lives over after reincarnation. She was here to train, not to be taken lightly or as someone beautiful.

Vera's smile was kept until Roxana made the first move. She wasn't expecting it but it wasn't something difficult to process. Blocking with the closes arm, she went for an arm chop at her neck. "Better not."

[Roxana Strix]

Roxana didn't dislike Vera; she was too use to being treated like Vera had treated her before so it really was no big deal at all. The only thing that had actually bothered her was being called emotionless. She had emotions, just when she was in the moment they did not matter. They were disconnected from her mind, but when she was not working she did have emotions. They were just not showing as easy as they did for others since her emotions didn't really matter. What was the point in crying or complaining when there would be no one there to make it better and tell you it was okay to cry? Roxana didn't and probably never would have that so it just happened that she didn't show much of her feelings out of habit. Roxana watched as the other girl put her hair up, it not really being something that Roxana would touch in combat since threat was just a cheap move and her life was not on the line. Her hair was kept short for the fact that she would not have to deal with it much and others would have to get that much closer to her if they wanted to grab it.

"If only, but then we would not learn out limits if we didn't have the healing process." Roxana responded back, just making conversation now, since who didn't like a little chit chat when sparring. Sure your mouth should remain shut when you were putting forth you all, but they were still in the whole 'battle ready' stages. Vera was fine with blood and then made a comment about her face that did actually make Roxana smile and chuckle a little bit. "You are very beautiful; I can image the jealous types of girls always go for your face in a fight." Roxana said, but even still she was not going to hit Vera in the face, not when they were just sparring. Vera could hit her in the face, but Roxana was not going to do it unless it was one hundred percent necessary and she doubted it would be. Roxana made her move and she could tell that Vera was not expecting it, but she still did a good job at blocking it. Good. Roxana had that small smirk appearing on her face now as Vera made her move, going for a neck chop.

Well Vera was certainly at least trying to make sure Roxana would feel this later with that sort of move. Roxana acted quickly, her training kicking in even if she did try to pull it back some. Moving to block the blow; or more accurately, take the blow to her arm in order to grab ahold of Vera's wrist. She was planning on gripping Vera's arm tight and moving to pull it behind the other girls back. She was confident in her ability to block the attack, but if Vera did the right move she probably could avoid getting her arm pulled behind her.

[Vera M. Solway]

The girl was correct, yet again. The healing process was the majority of learning about their boundaries and limits. The more you ended up a complete mess after a fight, the more you learned on what to do and what not to do next time. The only issue with this case was that Vera would not know how this would end. Yeah, she went on about still being pretty before the fight (something she learned from Mohammad Ali) but that didn't mean that Roxana wouldn't whoop her ass if she had the chance to. So Vera would have to make sure that... Roxana didn't have the chance to.

"You are very beautiful; I can image the jealous types of girls always go for your face in a fight." She chuckled, "You have no idea." Roxana was a very pretty girl herself, super hot, maybe even had the same issue. Vera didn't get to fight with females as much as she would like. Most females were all about the hair pulling and cat scratching, so it wasn't as fun to get into arguments and fights with them. The girls back home were so petty. Chicks would have hidden knives, brass knuckles and guns stolen from their boyfriends or fathers or something. None of them actually knew how to "throw the hands", as they would say back in New York. So no one really came close to laying a finger on her. Attending BA was different, there were so many different people with so many backgrounds and abilities. You never knew what you'd get into when getting into a fight with someone and she loved just the thought of it.

Training with Roxana would be different than training with any other student because Vera would have to process and respond faster than usual. Rox had managed to not only block her blow but take in the blow and grab her arm, causing it to be pulled behind her. Vera quickly turned in towards the grabbed arm and lifted the opposite leg for a swift kick towards Roxana's shoulder, hopefully hard enough that she'd let go. If not, then this would get interesting real quick.

[Roxana Strix]

Roxana would sure enough whoop Vera's ass, not planning to even lose at this training little thing. She was not allowed to fail and since Vera mostly knew how the real Roxana was because they had been on the Security Team together and sure enough Vera had to have heard about what Roxana pulled off when the school was attacked that save the majority of the students’ lives. So that meant that Roxana didn't have to put on any acts and could be herself. Something she actually preferred to be then the lies that she tended to live but it came with the job. She would still make sure to not mess up Vera's face or pull her hair because she appreciated beauty and would not want to ruin it. sure Vera's body was also beautiful, but Roxana was fine with that coming to some form of harm, because even if they had been doing other things; like real fighting, it could still be very likely that Vera could end up with a bruise or two.

"Probably not, in terms of having an idea. Most don't end up asking to fight me. Something about how I look like I will wipe the floor with them or something along those lines." Roxana said, keeping that small smirk on her face, figuring they could talk and fight at the same time. It was a bit of multitasking, but it would just help Vera in the long run. For her mind to be able to defend herself and hold a conversation. Just wait until she got into a real fight and while the other person was trying to catch their breath and focus on the fight, she could still beat them and managed some 'trash talk' in there. Roxana could fight dirty if that was what was needed in a fight, but with Vera she was going to keep it to the rules that they worked out before they even started this. She still planned to use her power since Vera had said they could, but she didn't see what a TK was going to do to her if she had to move things with her mind, that would require even more effort on her part.

Roxana took the blow and managed to grab ahold of the arm, but Vera clearly was not going to let Roxana have her way with the arm. Even if she moved to get it behind Vera, the other girl was already moving to turn towards Roxana and lifting up her opposite leg to kick at Roxana's shoulder. Roxana shifted her grip on Vera's arm; not letting it goes, but didn't want to break it. Her smirk didn't fade as she more so focused using her power to start to spread up and along the arm that she had a hold of. She was only using one hand so it would only go as far as Vera's shoulder, but the other girl didn't know the limit of Roxana's power. Vera could very well end up getting herself turned into a crystal art piece. Now that would be beautiful. "That was a pretty good kick." Roxana complimented Vera, but the kick had to be a lot harder if she planned on getting Roxana to let go, but she certainly was probably going to have a little bruise.

With Vera's leg up in the air she moved quick to shove Vera back, using her lack of balance because she had a foot up in the air to try and get Vera to fall back to the ground. She figured getting Vera to the ground or in any position where she could not move would be worthy of Vera tapping out or giving it. Granted she didn't expect Vera to make it easy for her, which was why her smirk was not going away.

[Vera M. Solway]

"Oh I bet." She was sure that Roxana came off as intimidating to others. There was no way in hell that you'd look at her for the first time and think that this girl was the friendliest person ever. There was a reason why Vera never apologized for calling her an emotionless person and that would stick until she saw otherwise. "You have to remember that you're dealing with chicks who scratch and pull hair. Not ones who land punches." There were only a small few that Vera deemed worth of a good fight, a very small few.

There was no way in hell that this would be an easy task. Vera already knew it and was far from her usual confident self but she wouldn't let Roxana see it. Both of their powers were just as physically as their combat, except for the fact that Vera's was half mental and half physical. Even when she felt the strike of her kick was hard enough to have Roxana let her go, it wasn't and now she would have to worry about being turned into a crystal statue. If she didn't make a move fast enough, who knew how much of her arm Roxana would coat in crystal. The girl had even taken the advantage of interrupting her balance while still holding on to Vera's arm. "Not good enough..."

She lashed out enough telekinetic energy to create an explosive push between the two, hopefully sending them both back far enough into opposite directions. Vera needed her distance, there was no way Roxana was going to get her down so fast. If there was one thing that Vera would have to take note of, it would be how much energy she used up. She had a lot of power backed up, yes but if she didn't use it wisely then she'd tire herself out even before they got started. Pushing past her limit was not something she wanted to do.

[Roxana Strix]

It was not like Roxana tried to look mean, intimidating, or whatever words followed along with her. She was just raised a certain way and that way made her give off particular vibes and not really look like a super friendly person. She personally thought she was pretty friendly and when she could trust someone or do something that she enjoyed, she thought she looked pretty friendly. Her friends back home had gotten her to the point where she smiled a lot and even laughed more often than she did now. She was at this school now and would be here until her organization saw it fit for her to be done with her assigned task and let her go off to do whatever was next on their list of things for her to do. She wondered if she would be able to at least go back home some day and just visit her mother and father. Sure they all worked for the same organization, but meeting there was always for work and she wanted to talk to them like a normal kid was.

She was not a normal kid however and her parents had expectation of her and all of her siblings. Her older siblings seeming to meet them and go past what was expected of them while Roxana still seemed to not be making too many happy in her organization. Maybe her power was just not as useful as her siblings were to the organization, or maybe it was because she was the third child, the second daughter, one that was not needed. That was a bit depressing to think about it that way but Roxana did wonder about it, even more now with her small little chat with Vera. Those thoughts going to the back of her mind as she focused on the sparring instead since that was not what she was here to do. "Do they bite as well?" Roxana asked, trying to picture Vera getting into a fight and the girls pulling on her long hair, scratching at her skin that looked like it would be pretty soft.

She did wonder a little how man fights Vera had dealt with based upon where the girl was from and how she talked about the people she did fight with. She kept that question in the back of her mind, focusing again on what she was doing and how the kick did hurt, but had not caused her to let go. The crystals making their slow climb up Vera's arm. They could move a lot faster but it would drain Roxana's ability quicker and she did not want that. She figured her knocking Vera off balance would have been a done deal, but Vera countered. Saying it was not good enough and Rox feeling the force push her back. She could have held onto the arm, but didn't want to outright risk her arm being pulled out of its socket so she let go. Going with the push and quickly gaining her footing so she would not fall. Vera was getting space between them.

"Smart girl." Roxana complemented Vera, but at the same time putting distance between herself and Roxana caused her to go with a more deadly approach as the crystal daggers started to form between her fingers. Quickly tossing just two of them at Vera, one aimed to miss; to get Vera to step over a little, while the other was aimed to at least graze Vera's left leg. Roxana holding onto the other and watching closely to see what Vera would do.

[Vera M. Solway]

"Do they bite as well?" Flashbacks of her time back in New York were anything but hazy. Even though it had been some years, Vera remembered home and the people who resided in it all too well. The girls back home were so petty almost as petty as the chicks at BA. If you thought you were better, looked better, or even acted like you were better than anyone else, the claws came out. It only took a fight or two for a lot of the girls at her old school to understand that she wasn't really the one to mess with. Vera came from a household of strict order and discipline... even if her and her brother ended up being the clowns of her family. So when it came to getting into fights, Vera didn't do the whole scratch and pull hair thing--no. She fought like this. "You have no idea, I've had bite marks here and there. Not as fun as it sounds." She said while trying to catch her breath. 

With the space that now separated the two, Vera didn't really feel any more relieved about it. It was clear that Roxana knew how to handle range and close attacks. Her dagger throw was quicker than she expected to the point where she caught a glance at the one aimed to miss her but not the one that went after her her leg. Shifting her step, she dodged the one but telekinetically redirected it right back at Roxana a few seconds before her leg was grazed by the second dagger, causing her to to wince and shout out a few of her favorite curse words. So much for wanting to rush her, Vera figured if she charged at her while Roxana still had a few daggers on her, there was a possibility she would be taken off guard. 

Smirking, she shouted at Roxana. "Anything else you want to throw at me?" At least now she could stand her ground. 

[Roxana Strix]

Roxana's fight had always ended up being the kind where things were likely to get broken, blood to be drawn, and some intense amount of pain would be involved. She had been shot, stabbed, limbs broken, and beaten within an inch of her life before. She had even been tired up while she was being hit to keep her from being able to retaliate. Most of it was said to be done for the sake of making her stronger, so when she did end up in enemies hands she could survive and not break. Information was power and if she ever gave info away because she could no longer handle whatever pain she was being put through then she might as well been good at dead. She liked this kind of fight, safe fighting. Fighting that was for fun but also still allowed her to test her skills on some level and see what others were capable of. She had wanted to spar with Vera for a while, not really getting a chance to back when they were on the Security Squad together.

"How many bite makes do you think you have had in all? Plus biting it not so bad, I've heard some people actually like it." Roxana pointed out with a small smirk on her face, not flirting or anything like that. No, she was merely pointing it out and the smirk was on her face because she was amused by the thought. Thoughts about how if someone just got into a fight just so they could but someone. That would be a weird person indeed, but everyone had things about them that made them weird. Roxana held firm onto her daggers as she took a deep breath. Keeping he breathing even and ready to get back to what they were doing. Roxana was pleased that a hit had landed and even more so when Vera redirected it to her, acting quick and going to hit it with another one of the daggers she had in her hand in attempt to knock it out of Vera's concentration and it path. "Wow, I didn't know you were a sailor." Roxana said with a slight chuckle as Vera cursed when she was hit. AT least Vera felt pain, the stinging pain of being cut, but it was not deep enough to be something to worry about at the moment.

The question of what else Roxana was going to throw at Vera was asked. Roxana simply keeping her small smile as she held up her remaining dagger. "I was thinking all of these." Roxana said and then proceed to throw the few she had left in her hand. Making sure to aim them all too just merely cut into Vera's flesh as they would wiz past her. The other leg and even her shoulders were the intended targets, throwing them at different times in order to aid her in making sure that at least one would connect while other might have been grabbed by Vera's power. Either way after all was thrown, Roxana was moving. Going to dash off to her left and rush at Vera from right side.
