You'll be surprised! I'll have you know that I am fairly well known for my fighting skills back home!

[Granted, most of her powers were gone and all she could do was light a small fire. But until then, she was going to deal with fighting with a regular polearm.]

While I might not have my weapon with me, I think I can handle a few sea creatures or two. [Alas, if she only knew what kind of mammals he deals with...!]

[silentscout]

[He is still disbelieving. But he has the feeling that now isn't the appropriate time to ask her to actually fight, so instead he points to a nearby setup of a watermelon, blindfold, and stick.]

Can you do that without mistakes?

[He says this like it will prove Hu Tao is a great fighter or something.]

[localweirdo]

[Which was why Hu Tao raised an eyebrow at him before looking back at the watermelon and then back at him. Well, in that case...!]

I believe I can! It's a simple task that I can do easily!

[And with that, off she marched her way toward the area before giving off a proud smile.]

Please hand me the blindfold and I'll show you what I can do! [This will go well, right?

[silentscout]

Mhmm.

[This will go amazingly well.

Lalli will pick up both the bat and the blindfold, and hand her the blindfold first.]

[localweirdo]

[The moment she was handed the blindfold, she stared at it for a moment. There was some hesitation on her part before she shook her head. There was no turning back now. As she tied it around her head, she gave her hand out toward Lalli.]

And there! Now if you please, could I have the bat...?

[Was he going to regret this? Who knows but Hu Tao was definitely going to have a lot of fun based on how much she was smiling!]

[silentscout]

[Lalli has never regretted anything in his life. Ever. (no)

It will be fine though. Lalli isn't smiling like Hu Tao is, but his eyes are a bit lighter and his expression isn't gloomy or anxious. Lalli's just one who expresses curiosity and contentment without smiling, that's all. And as he hands her the bat, he will watch and see if she manages to split the watermelon. It's a strange tradition in his eyes, but it's a tasty one and that makes it acceptable to him.]

[localweirdo]

[With the bat in her hands, she knows that she has to be careful. The last thing she wanted was to injure anyone that comes in her path. That being said, she slowly started walking in a straight line. Hoping that the watermelon was nearby, that's when she started tapping the ground.

...Granted, the actual location is close by but she wasn't anywhere close to said fruit.]

Let's see...the watermelon should be here, right?

[silentscout]

[Lalli is staying far out of batting range, so that's one less potential target Hu Tao has to worry about. He's watching how she taps along the ground, how she gets closer but not close enough to hit it. It's a good strategy! Kind of like feeling out weak parts in a floor or ceiling with a stick.

Lalli decides to help though, because she's veering off in the wrong direction slightly.]

More to your right.

[localweirdo]

I see, how silly of me. I shall get to it at once!

[That said? As she kept on tapping the ground to see where said object was, she made her way toward the right.] I believe this is what I am looking for!

[Indeed, there was an object toward her direction. But alas, it wasn't what she thought! Hope Lalli doesn't mind her hitting the nearby chair.]

[silentscout]

[Clang goes the chair! Lalli looks unimpressed, though Hu Tao can't see him right now.]

...your other right.

[localweirdo]

This is so much more difficult than I thought!

[She gave a huff before walking to said other right. Again, she kept tapping on the ground to feel where the watermelon was. Finally, when she hit something, he gave a mumble or two.]

Please do tell me that's where the watermelon is. I'm starting to think that the fruit might have walked off without me knowing.

[silentscout]

[Well, at least she found the watermelon. Though given how difficult it looks, Lalli is glad he's not the one trying. He would have looked too silly doing it.]

It's there, hit harder.

[localweirdo]

How wonderful! Now be prepared to be amazed at how strong I can be!

[And just like that, she pointed the bat straight up in the air before putting as much force as she could to hit said fruit! And yet...?]



...I missed, didn't I?

[Because said watermelon was right next to the bat.]

[silentscout]

[So amazing. He just stands there for a moment, looking between Hu Tao and the watermelon like he's trying to decide if she's doing it on purpose or not.]


Yes. But it's right there. Try again.

[localweirdo]

Then, here I go! I'm sure I'll hit it this time around!

[And just like that? As she moved a little toward the side before swinging her bat once more? There was a sound that could be heard. Blinking to herself, she turned her direction toward Lalli before tilting to head to the side.]

...Did I hit it now? Please tell me that I did!
