[b]"No."[/b] She twirls out of the way, sword-tip tracing a line through her sleeve and leaving a bright red line behind as she tosses her umbrella high up in the air and throws a packet to the ground, which blooms into a cloud of thick smoke. It doesn't sting your eyes Han, but you've never had that problem, now have you, dragon-child? And then she's exploding out of the smoke, inches away from you and circling towards your sword arm, close enough that you don't have the angle. "This is not surrender. This is a truce." Piripiri feints towards Han's eyes and commits to the sword-arm, rooting her stance and dragging Han along and off your feet. Han, you've been thrown before, you can recover midair, but she's not chasing you down. She reaches up to catch the umbrella and settles into a willow-style swordstance, umbrella out and across her body. "You have no reason to love the Dominion? I encourage you to test your strength against them." Them, and not us, an astute listener might hear. "Win. Prove yourself. I want you to gather yourself, plan, learn, recover. I am your enemy, I cannot simply [i]give[/i] you those things, only trade them." That was no N'yari gloating, and no Dominion objective focus here: she could have gone for Lotus and booked it. Instead, her eyes are aglow with excitement and the ground around her has bloomed into a riot of colors. She wants this fight. Or maybe, instead, she wants you to have it. And she's staying still, letting you get ready and make the next move. [quote]I am picking to take a string on Han, and taking Angry as the condition from the fight. Not so much fury as the heat of passion of a duel here. In return, she's rolling an Entice and got a 12.[/quote]
