17th Combo - [Video]

There! I-

[Locked from Eridan]

-did it! Good. That'll keep him from listening in on this. Thanks, Genis. I owe you one.

[Yup, somebody begged his best friend to show him how to lock. That done, he turns his attention on the Dreamberry - and Somarium in general by extension. His expression is very serious, and perhaps a little chagrined.]

Hey, everyone. I... kind of need some help. I need to get stronger, so I need to train, but I also need help learning how to fight magic users. [He makes a face.] Especially magic users that can fly.

[No, he's not talking about anyone in specific. What makes you think that?]

Does anyone want to spar? Or have any advice?

I don't know about everything! But lucky for you, I'm not looking to kill you!

[Not yet. She stands, fingers placing themselves on her temple, dice still in hand.]

You have one job -- hit me! And be quick about it!

[Her wings give a flutter -- she'll be prepared to thieve his luck once he charges.]

[redcladidealist]

[He has no idea how lucky he is that she isn't trying to kill him, no idea at all that she can steal luck itself, that that's even possible.]

Just one hit, huh? This is gonna be a piece of cake!

[And charge he does, hard and fast - maybe faster than a regular human, but he's not using any techs yet. He's testing the waters, trying to get a feel for what he's up against. Will she dodge left or right or up? How fast can she move with those wings?]

[And suddenly, she's gone, swiftly dodging to the right with his stolen luck. As punishment, she flicks him in the ear.]

Missed! Striiiiiiiike one!

[She flies backward to put distance between them again, making a beckoning motion.]

Try your luck again!

[redcladidealist]

[Wow, she's fast! Or maybe not fast, but agile, with very quick reflexes - at least that's what it looks like to Lloyd. She dodged him like it was nothing!

Far from discouraged, though, Lloyd's eyes gleam with anticipation.]

Heh. Pretty good. Let's see how you handle this!

[He dashes forward again, but this time instead of just trying to attack, he's going to give chase if she dodges, trying to match her turn for turn. Of course, if she goes up...

He's got a plan for that, too.]
