[ Verso gifts her a wide, pleased smile. ] I know you won't be. [ He is putting a pin in that comment. As soon as he turns away, his expression falls to something more irritated. Where did she learn a word like that? And who used it in regards to her?
Dashing forward, he is well within the range of the giant cactus. It seems like its eyes are fixed on him. Of course, it's hard to tell when they are empty black holes on its "face." But at least, it does its jerking, sudden motion to turn toward him. ]
Ah, good one. [ He holds his hand out, wagging his finger lightly in her direction. ] Feel kind of bad picking on you, Mister Prickles, but well, I'm sure you'll forgive us. No hard feelings and all that, yeah? [ As he says that much, the cactus abruptly drops its entire body to fall on him. Jerking backwards, he just barely dodges out of the way of the "attack" and Mister Prickles is already back up to a standing position. ]
I think he understands! [ Verso calls over his shoulder before he shifts and twists his own body around into a different stance. One where he holds his sword just at his side -- white energy erupts down the hilt and blade. He lets it build a second more before unleashing the attack. Yet instead of just one strike; the light curves and weaves around the cactus striking and slashing multiple times before the energy dissipates.
Of course, it doesn't look like it does any damage to its outer shell. Which is always a little irritating and frustrating. It'd be nice to see just how they're actually doing. But the strikes do, at least, knock it partially off-balanced. Or Mister Prickles is standing on one foot instead of both, wobbling in place. ]
