Brilliance in Motion

Winter’s smirk widened a little as he returned her previous words back at her like she had with his only moments before. She gasped as he seemed to be able to predict what she was about to do-likely from seeing Weiss do the same, if she had to hazard a guess-and barely managed to dodge his tail, clashing her blade against his staff once more. 

Then she had and idea and lunged forward in an attempt to sweep his legs out from under him.

His tactics had been built from years of experience. He’d fought many different types in many different situations, even from a very young age. That, coupled with his knowledge of Weiss’ tactics involving the semblance they shared, led him to draw conclusions about the battle, most of which had paid off before. And yet, here she was. A proper military woman, and a Schnee, resorting to the underhanded tactic of a surprise leg sweep.

And it worked.

Weiss’ sudden blush really isn’t helping with keeping as unnoticed as possible. The people around them are staring now. Where did that come from? She leans over—which only fuels the crowd’s whispers—to whisper sharply to him. “Sun, it’s okay. I’m used to this, and I don’t blame them.”

“Nah, I don’t think I will peeps love them.”

“Ehh..dearuhh…”

“…”

“Okay shut up I’m not good at puns- all I know are dad jokes…”

“They’re called evasive maneuvers.” Winter responded with an amused smirk as she watched him, trying to decide what her next move should be. She wouldn’t take too long to do so, of course, but it was always best to make her movements as calculated as possible so he didn’t catch her off guard. Not that she thought he could-she suffered from hyper-vigilance, after all.

Using her movement glyphs, she sped around him to slash at him with her sword from behind.

The moment he saw the glyphs begin to appear, he knew exactly what was happening. He’d seen Weiss make a similar maneuver herself a few times, and as the glyphs sprang to life, he reformed his staff, holding it behind his back to intercept her blade. With a smirk, his tail flicking out to strike her, he figured now it was his turn for a callback.

“Wasn’t that bad means you can do better though.”

“M-Me? Oh, well…I’ve…been around. Uh– what about you, though? I haven’t seen you around lately. You do anything else lately?” He shuffles a bit where he stands before adding, “I mean– maybe we could catch up over some lunch?”

Ruby held back a chuckle. “No, Sun I’m not yanking your tail. In fact his jokes are pretty…. fly”

“Yeah he does have jokes. Sometimes they’re good, sometimes they’re a bit meh.”

“Nah, I stole it from uncle Qrow, actually.”
