"Babe, if you think I am even remotely fucking close to taking a hint, you're not paying attention to the dented lightpost. I'm gonna show you I'm on the same level as Machia."

There are three things you should give Sammy credit for here. First of all, Sammy moves the drinks and bandages out of the way. No use wasting good stuff, you know? Second of all, she does not make the assumption that Maxima is going to move the same way she would in the arena because she's not a complete moron and this isn't the Aristeia! stadium. Third of all, whatever bluster she's been putting out, her hit isn't one of those hits that'd kill you if it connects. She's serious [i]about sparring[/i] and she moves as fast as she can move, but the force she's putting into the strike isn't murder force and if Maxima is half as good as the aura she puts out, she'll be able to tell. Cuz, like she said, she wants training. She's got a mountain to climb, whether it's made of rock or dust.
