[MT, for quite possibly the first time most people have seen her, looks downright apologetic as she flickers onto the mirror screen. She... also looks a bit banged up. More than a bit, really.

Where has she been these past few weeks, exactly?]

Uh. Hey, everyone. I... probably owe you all an explanation for just vanishing like that.

After the whole fiasco with my fist mission—sorry Lyds, BJ, that one's still my fault—and how my "brilliant idea" completely failed to work out, I got.

Frustrated.

And decided that because obviously it was everyone else's fault that things went wrong, I had to fix things by myself.

Soooo I went into the bayou.

By myself.

Yeah.

But hey! I'm a toy and practically indestructible so... at least I'm not dead? Ha.

Hahahaha...

Anyways, I obviously got back, and I'm. In my room right now. Have been for a few days, really, I just conked out for like... forty-eight hours straight.

Er. Sorry for locking the door, Beej.

ANYWAYS! How have you been doing while I was, er, gone?

[MT is obviously exhausted and looks like she needs a shower, but... at least she's learned a lesson? Maybe?]

Credit where credit is due: MT learns quickly. A few moments after her hits stop connecting, MT narrows her eyes and... well, she doesn't check her aggression, but she channels it, making more of an effort to actually try and get past Rice's guard rather than just blindly lash out at her.

And when Rice executes a brutally efficient takedown with on MT with that combo of hers, she falls flat on the ground... and wastes no time in getting back up, snarling (though not in anger, it just seems to be MT's default response when she's in a fight) and reining back on the offense to try and block at least some of Rice's blows.

The tables have turned, and Rice grins as MT clearly picks up what she's putting down.

The Knight starts to test her foe's defences, seeing the strength of MT's stance, her footwork, her attacks.

Eventually, when she's satisfied with how MT holds herself, she starts to open up her own stance, subtly showing her opponent where to take advantages like she had just done.

If there's one thing MT is good at (unfortunately), it's mimicking people. She starts unconsciously mirroring Rice's stance and adding the Knight's technique to her own near-unchecked aggression. It's like fighting a mirror match.

The moment MT sees an opening, she goes for it with vicious strength; her reaction time is probably her best asset outside of her sheer, unrelenting rage. At least she has enough presence of mind to try to not do any permanent damage, although she'll probably leave some nasty bruises.

Rice takes the hit to the ribs with surprising camaraderie, barely wincing though she certainly feels the pain. There's a solid 'thunk' and a beat of stillness as Rice exhales slowly, controlling her response.

"That was good," she says, slowly straightening up, breathing a little heavier than normal and clearly disengaging from the fight, for now at least.

"You learn quickly," she smiles, and goes around to hold her side. She's going to need some ice for that!
