Hibiki:
Nika
"I'm questioning who is the lord in this obligation. Is he even courageous enough to ask for the payment or every rent paid is a gift to your lesser? Not that I think much about these things myself. If I like arrangement I pay, if not I just move wbere my whim takes me. New horizons, new fronties, and yes, new challenges. What do you offer? Even if you leave this place, surely you have picked up something interesting from those East Asians."
The vampire radiated confidence, but repressed urge to smile too widely. Nothing about this woman made her feel as she was a night creature like her. Heeding a whim, she wanted to keep her little secret a secret for a bit.
Aiden:
Mira
"Huh. Are ya new to the place? Most people around here have at least heard of Mira Lashi once." Rather than disappointment, Mira's eyes had brightened in excitement. She leaned forward with a smirk pulling at her lips and tilted her head. "Not sure what an Asian is, but I've learned a helluva a lot of ways ta fight around here. Ya have to, 'cause nothin' gets done without fighting here."
She put her phone in her bag, and clenched her right hand into a fist. "Ya want to go a round? I could use a warm-up before I head out."
Hibiki:
Nika
"Everything's a competition, so this place isn't really different than others. It just puts a different facade to present to the world, a different gimmick. As good location for a sparring as any other."
Saying that, vampire spotted the nearest passerby trying to vacate the scene too after seeing the landlord beaten up, and approached quickly, nonchalantly putting the phone in their palm.
"Do me a favor and keep it in one piece, and I'll pay you a 100. Pawn it off, and you will end up like that landlord. Capisce?"
The person nodded hesitantly and cleared out, maybe knowing better than to do something behind the vampire's back.
"Sorry for that, I don't have a bag on me, and I'm not in mood for shopping again today. So, a warm-up, yeah?" Nika assumed a stance that some could mistake for a forward stance commonly used by Muay Thai practicioners, her both hands closed fights held forward to guard against blows. Hey, she clearly asked for a round first, so someone to got to be a challenger here, even if she had no clue about her strengths beyond roughing up a bodybuilder. Well, she would clearly know more soon.
Aiden:
Mira
The blue-haired brawler hardly batted an eye at her opponent's eccentricities, and instead just underhand tossed her bag somewhere off to the side to land on top of someone's car. The alarm went off. "Ya. Don't normally pick fights with random folks otherwise, ya know?" Her eyes narrowed at the stance, and she made her preparations.
Mira bounced on her heels once, twice, "Alright, go!" And then shot forward like a blur to the eye. A sufficiently keen eye would see how she led with one hand open in front of her, another closed into a fist at her side, and sought to curve around her opponent to strike at her flank.
Hibiki:
Nika
Maybe approaching this carefully was the right call after all. She couldn't yet tell how much relative effort this unusually strong tenant put into the opening move, but in her withered guts she could already tell she was going to be pushed a quite far whether she would win or lose. But the best defense was still an offense here, and instead of pushing her body to move around in a similar blur, she tried to outflank her challenger in a counterattack.
All that mattered was the difference in speed. Mira obviously had a slight edge in moving against Nika first, but she counted on her centuries long experience to prevail. Given perfect opportunity, she would try to strike thig or knee with bone shattering kick but even less accurate hit would pack a lot of her strength. So much for a warm up, she couldn't obviously underestimate someone as fast as her serious self.
