[@shylarah] I like the angle of their slight antagonism - I think it would contrast well with the way he ribs everyone else for him to largely stay out of her way because she's, y'know, terrifying. My one note is that I figure it would just make more sense for the sparring match that he got injured in to have been meant to be an unarmed match, only for her to accidentally slip or get mad and blow him into a wall and break his arm. Just because I can't imagine anyone responsible for training them thinking that having Hassan and Ziotea spar with her allowed to use her powers would be a good idea or really end any other way than with Hassan smeared on the wall - that's the very definition of bringing a knife to a gun fight.

Ooh, unless they made him do that as part of the punishment for Hassan's bad attitude. That could be a cool dynamic, maybe even one that Ziotea was unaware of: their trainers threatened Hassan with going another few rounds with the human rocket launcher in order to bring him into line, and he resents her for that? Let me know what you think.
