[samantha_grey]

An old, brick edifice stands in front of the burnt-down ruins of a home in the hillside. Mountains rear up in all directions, covered in lush, green vegetation. Nobody comes this way anymore, but you have the sense that anything placed in the mailbox attached to this old structure will be found by someone, the only living person for whom this place still has any meaning.

OOC: Feel free to comment here if your character wishes to get in touch with Samantha Grey directly. Let us keep any such material to PG-13 or less. If you're interested in something that should be matured tagged, contact me via PM and we can discuss it.

I can see that. If that was all it took then I might have been a little disappointed.

But you know, if you want to go ahead and get started on dinner I won't complain.

[Someone's temper was just as useful a tool to use against them as anything else. She had already seen how composure and level headedness were easy to lose when you were pissed off enough.]

[samantha_grey]

[There was a rise, though she didn't come in like a bull charging the local china shop. Her lips curled in a little snarl, stalking forward slowly and lowering her body posture.]

I'm going to ask for something unusual at this rate, I'm thinking. Maybe see how you do with some real spices...

[sings_of_death]

Heh, can't be any worse than anything I had to make for Michael. If you want real spice let me show you how to cook for a dragon.

[Zero kept her blade up not moving just yet, this time she would allow Samantha to make the first move and then react, hopefully the other was having as much fun with this as she was. Otherwise it would be a waste to have such a nice dinner planned.]

[samantha_grey]

I can take it. You've never seen a demon's taste-buds. I hope yours are good, if you manage to beat me.

[It was hard to tell whether or not she was having fun, but she looked animated, aggressive and very focused on Zero. The red-head never really smiled enough, her face always having a bit of a severe look to it. As she slipped in, she kept one sai at a defensive posture, the other lashing out with the blunted tip to try and get a punch at the ribs. It was a pretty standard set of maneuvers but solid, since she could try to catch the blade in the sai's tines.]

[sings_of_death]

[Seeing the movement Zero swung the sword upwards, dragging it along the ground for just a moment to give a little more resistance and more power behind the impact that it would have. At the same time stepping in and turning her body so that the struck sai would barely graze her even if Samantha managed to hold onto it.]

I can eat pretty much anything.

[samantha_grey]

You and me both.

[The movement was hard to parry. She managed to wedge the tines around the blade, but it caused her wrist to strain quite a bit just holding it back. Grunting, the girl gritted her teeth and twisted back, using the sai to turn at it and push it away in a wide arc from her. Zero wasn't weak. She'd say that.]

[sings_of_death]

[Now was the perfect time, letting go of the blade as it went flying Zero pushed off the ground and went to slam a knee into the others stomach as well as a hard punch directed right at her head. Even if the blow failed to land she would be able to get the sword back easily enough while dodging the sais.]

[samantha_grey]

[The blow definitely connected full on. Samantha let out a loud puff of air with it and her face showed the signs of being in a bit of pain from it. When she went for the sword, though, Zero got the reminder of that tail's presence, trying to trip her just short as the demon recovered.]

[sings_of_death]

[Heh, too bad the tail gave her something to grab onto as well as to focus on. Missing tripping over it with a roll she reached back and grabbed the appendage while also kicking the sword upwards with her feet and grabbing it with the other hand.]

Gotcha.

[samantha_grey]

[Her foot raised up and thrust down even when the woman grabbed for her tail. She was trying to tamp down on the hand grabbing for her as hard as possible while her other fist balled up and punched hard, going for the face even as the blade came into her hand.]

Never get me in too close.

[sings_of_death]

[The pain in her wrist barely registered as Samantha's foot crashed down on it, the stone underneath cracking a little beneath the metal. As for the punch, Zero managed to pull the blade up just in time to put the broad side between her face and the first; pulling a bit harder on the tail as she maneuvered back to her feet.]

But what if I want to get closer than this.

[samantha_grey]

[And just like that, some of the fight left Samantha. The way that she pulled at her tail, the girl's lips parted and let out a cry that did not sound pained. Her cheeks heated and claws gripped her body, trying to keep her stable.]

Y...yield... stop doing that. Pe...people can see.

[sings_of_death]

[Stopping for a moment, Zero looked completely baffled. She hadn't really expected the other to give up so suddenly, and had it just been her imagination or had that been a rather sensual cry. It was a little confusing considering how tough the other had seemed.]

If there was anyone watching they had a pretty good show then.

[Turning her fingers a little she let go of the tail and lowered her weapon.]

Thanks for the workout, it was just what I needed. Though if we keep breaking their toys they might get a little mad. Let me know when you're ready to cook that dinner, you seem like you might need some time on your own first.

[with a twist she walked over picking up the discarded pieces of wood that had been the spear.]

Just don't wait too long.

[samantha_grey]

They... can just get a Freyr to replace them in the end. [She slowly stopped panting quite so much, the color fading from her cheeks when Zero's hand left the length of her tail. At the comment, she laughed softly.]

We can do that whenever you like. You just name the time, since we already know the place.

[sings_of_death]

Well as long as you're as good a cook as you claim, then how about tomorrow night. You can come use that table you like so much.

[Zero the wooden toys into a pile with the rest before retrieving her actual sword.]

Unless you've already got a date, then I guess well just have to do it next week.

[samantha_grey]

mmm, I might, but I think I can probably do dinner for you soon. I'll wait for your call in that case. And don't worry. I'm one of hte reasons your house has that table.

[Because she made Thor laugh.]
