Kona looked at her. "Oh...I will. Its only a matter of time. A matter of strategy. I held my own against him. I KNOW I can beat him. I just gotta keep trying until I do." He said with a grin. Watching her as she moved. He whirled quickly and caught her foot in his hand. Twisting and flipped her onto the deck. Letting go of her foot and stood up straight. He smiled at her. "Get up. Try again." He said with a laugh. He had felt the kick in his hands though. Felt it but ignored it. He waited until she was up again. Moving forward and began to strike repeatedly. Aiming to throw her back off balance or see how fast she can react to his movements. He then jumped back and waited. Making the bring it sign. Standing in a fighters stance.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Miro liked the Marionettes. He hadn't offically met the one called Blacksmith but he had seen him. he was almost certain that the guy who helped him back onto the ship was Blacksmith. Though he wasn't for sure as he hadn't gotten the guys name. He heard the chuckle and smiled. He liked hearing happy sounds from Tes. He wasn't too creative with nicknames but he'd be thinking on it. It might take him time but he'd come up with a nickname for Tes that fit him. He just wasn't sure what the hell it would be. He was quite fond of his tall friend Tes. He didn't understand this fondness but he enjoyed it nonetheless. He liked how much closer they had become. It was like a new book had been opened in relation to their friendship. He grinned as he heard what Tes said. His eyes lit up and sparkling. "YAY!" He said in delight. That made him VERY happy. He nuzzled Tes. He looked over his shoulder. "Kona not gonna hold back on him just because he is a friend." He said observantly. He looked back up at Tes and smiled a bit. His smile not entirely full but it was there again. He grinned more as he thought on what Tes said. He enjoyed his company enough to let him stay sleeping curled up next to him. "I'm surprised you don't mind. I'm not exactly a warm snuggle buddy." he said with a giggle type sound.</span>
