[Okay Ruby stands as still as she can. Which is actually pretty impressive for a girl with the amount of energy that she has. Her eye peers up but she obviously can't see see the bottle on her head.

Then she looks to Vyng and smirks.]

You got it! At least with me there's less chances of you getting it in my eye, right?

[One eyed jokes. She's making them.]

[spiritwalks]

Eye see— [WINK.] —what you did there.

[If anybody can appreciate a good "hahah, I got maimed" joke, it's Vyng.]

Okay. [He's stepping back now, to accommodate the length of his stork legs.] Here goes.

[Vyng assumes a fighting stance, legs apart while holding loosely-curled hands up in in guard position. A few beats pass, until he rotates around on both feet. By the time his back is facing Ruby, he's gathered enough momentum to slice through the air with a spinning heel kick straight at the crown of his training partner's head.

Thunk!

A clean swipe! The bottle spins off her head and whizzes toward the sand behind her.]

[onekindsoul]

Eye bet you did!

[Ruby goes quiet and watches as he enters his stance. Despite her calm demeanor her silver eye watched with an eager sort of curiosity. She was a born fighter and she was taking the opportunity to get a handle on just what Vyng was capable of.

Right up until his leg passed by her head and the bottle was knocked clean off. Then her eyes brighten like an excited kid and she claps her hands together.]

Oh my gosh- You got it one! That's so amazing!

[spiritwalks]

Ahahah. Lucky shot...

[Which probably isn't what somebody wants to hear right after having a bottle of water kicked off their head? But, seriously, they could have gone so much worse.]

Maybe all that yoga is paying off.

[onekindsoul]

[Luckily Ruby knew that accidents happened in training and she had been punched in the face or headbutted enough times to be able to take a kick with good humor.]

I mean- Luck is a sort of skill in it's own, right?

[It probably was not but she liked to give it some credit.]

Is it cheating at Yoga when you've probably been a downward dog before? Like some sort of weird muscle memory advantage?

[spiritwalks]

[Good ol' Ruby. Vyng can always count on her for hazardous shenanigans. Like doing sick ramp stunts on a luggage cart.]

Hah! If that's the case, then my luck could use lots of work.

[That last query earns a chuckle from Vyng. Shapeshifting can be a sore subject these days. It's easy to joke around with Ruby, though. Probably one reason they vibe so well together.]

Good question. I actually do a few different things doggy-style. [His tone stays casual, like they're talking about the weather.] Never thought of it as cheating before, though.

I'm trying to, like, make all that stuff part of my fighting style. You know? Like running super-fast and calling it Cheetah Style.

[God, listen to himself. Vyng's expression grows flat.]

...That sounds really fucking stupid when I explain it out loud.
