sparring with an audience
[If you're passing by the detective agency's office today, you might get to see a fight. Fauna, a familiar sight to most around Starsand, and Atsushi - no, the other one. The other other one.
Atsushi's grinning as they battle, so there's probably no bad blood involved… then again, with these two, it's hard to tell, especially with Fauna's mask covering any expression she might make.
Atsushi is a straightforward fighter, and his strikes with his sword are powerful. He doesn't dodge much, but he takes Fauna's fire and ice attacks head-on and keeps going strong. His attacks are almost reckless, the aggressive style of someone who knows he can tank any hit his opponent deals him and can fix any injuries later, trading openings in his own form for damage dealt to his opponent.
Fauna's fighting style, in contrast to her normal, headstrong nature, is quite methodical- First, blasts of fire and ice, scarring the battlefield to restrict her opponent's movements. Then a form change to her owl form, a bombardment of high-speed knives as she flies around to create openings. Then, when she's finally restricted and worn her opponent down, she strikes- Her lion form comes in swinging, intending to end it in a single, electric blow.
The battle ends in a draw, with Atsushi's sword at Fauna's neck and Fauna's sword at his heart. There's plenty of time afterwards to catch either of the two in conversation, if you've stuck around to watch.]

Fauna pulls up, spotting that stance. It looks like her normal fighting style won't work here. She abandons the knives, barely avoiding her wings getting a nice trim down to the shoulder, and she manages to pivot into a roll... and when she lands, her armor is golden samurai armor, a lion's mane from her helmet, and a bizarre, lightning-shaped katana in her hand.
If she can't phase him with her attacks and limit his options, all that's left is overwhelming power. Electricity crackles around the blade as she swings.]

He swings as well, only stopping a centimeter from her neck.]q

Fauna stops, pivots, feints- Her neck isn't armored as strongly as her body, after all, so she can still move it. The fact that Atsushi can continue to track her is incredible, as she freezes, with his blade at her throat...]
... Damn. A draw?
[And then he may notice how close her own sword is- point right to his heart.]

[Slowly, Atsushi lowers his sword, and it transforms back into a harmless book.]
You're good.
no subject
I should say the same to you... Between you and the tree, I know what my biggest problem is now.
