Well, I have already kissed Shrike the once, regardless. She's quite good at things, when she lets herself be. [ is that an implicit challenge? obviously. ]
If we want to fight for it, though, we'll want a bit more space than the game tower alone can provide.
[ When she arrives, she has swapped to the shirt she acquired from the "school" game, paired with trousers trimmed in what Cardigan may recognize as Cap's old shade of scarlet red.
She is also, of course, carrying an ornate naginata. ]
[As Amaranth knows, Cardigan has a ferocious dash to close with. And it seems, at first, that they are coming straight in for her torso. Just in range of the naginata's length, they dart to the side, instead, and whip their sword back so it opens a neat slice of fabric high on Amaranth's thigh.]
[ she begins to defend, only for Cardigan to whip past her; she spares a brief glance to confirm that clean cut before whirling to face them again ]
Ah, so it's like that—
[ but she's already moving, swinging her legs around her own naginata to get lower to the ground and close the distance between them again, then whipping the blade upwards so it catches on the buttons of their jacket, slicing it open ]
[They answer with a delighted laugh—No time for anything else, when they have to land their half-evasion on one leg and still somehow spring themself inside her guard to expose a strip of scarred and unscarred skin across her belly.]

A form of training, then.
We can certainly approach her to ask, if nothing else.

[Not to mention they'll both look hotter after a fight.]

[ a grin ] If that doesn't get us noticed, I can't imagine what will.
...I'll need to change out of this dress to do this properly, but I can meet you there shortly.

You know, I just replaced some of these clothes.
[ and she will, in fact, meet them shortly, at....... whatever link is provided or we can just continue here idk ]

Hey.

I sparred with Cobalt using spears and he trashed me. I think I'll do better with my own weapon.
no subject
[ she sounds slightly surprised in fact: soldierly background or not, she wasn't sure Cardigan had it in him ]
I'll have to do one better than him in that case.
[ With that, she takes a few steps back, then gives her weapon a showy twirl before assuming a readied stance. ]
no subject
[Cardigan drops into a relaxed, confident stance.]
Ready?
*wasn't sure Cobalt had it in him
[ there's a subtle shift in her grip on the weapon's staff, a suggestion of a movement of her heel, but she's waiting for Cardigan's move ]
