Gaia only grinned at the idea of using fire against Ethan; "I would never." She said with a sway of her tail, "Fire is often a last resort for me, or if I can't hit from where I am. It consumes a lot of energy to keep the fire going." She mentioned, almost absentmindedly.
She glanced down at him, "I could let you throw a few punches at me?" She asked, "I can handle being a punching bag." She said with a sly grin.

Steph looked at Benjamin when he asked if it was good, "It's... sour." She said with a small smile, "It's not disgusting. I just wasn't expecting that sort of sour from a smoothie."
Harriet watched Steph as she spoke, she was about to ask if she actually liked it before the waiter returned with their food. He placed the soup in front of Benjamin and the BLT in front of Duncan.
"Which of you wanted the plain one?" He asked Harriet and Steph, the latter gently lifted her hand.
A medium sized plate was placed in front of her; decorated with different things- wedges, air fried fries, what looked to be potato balls and a small array of sauces.
A similar plate was placed in front of Harriet, but the wedges seemed to be seasoned differently and the potato balls had a slightly different crumb to them.
