"Yeah. So this is a good spot."

"And you're a good nemesis." Another fire rush! This time even hotter! (Though she's magically (literally) not burning their surroundings, at least, so the trees will even survive unscathed.) Also she turns into a smoke ember tiger. 

"Call me next time so I can thwart you properly."

Smoke is hard to punch, but Incandesce will make a good try at whirling fire around in a barrier.

"The wait today was a bit awkward..." She'll be sporting and pretend the fire barrier forces her back into normal tiger shape. 

Press the attack!

"I'll let dispatch know. Do you have a name, by the way?"

"Burning Ruby Tiger Decima!"

"Bit of a mouthful, isn't it?"

"It's beatiful and elegant."

"You've got me there."

(Almost) playful swipe!

Incandesce catches it instead of dodging this time, and uses it as leverage for a high kick!

She slides under the kick, behind Incandesce - turns to smoke - 

And turns into a smoke-wreathed woman (in her costume, of course) who strikes at Incandesce's back. 

Oof! Incandesce turns the stumble into a front roll and flips around to face her again.

"...Nice costume."

"Thanks! It's got pockets."

(It's an open question as to where, given how little her outfit covers, and how tight the rest is.)

She lets her eyes trace over the numerous cutouts and the fishnettidue and the general skintightness.

"Uh. Where?"

She smirks, reaches into her top - her cleavage is one of the few things not on full display, though this maneuver does involve displacing some fabric - and pulls out a dagger. 

Which she, of course, then lunges at Incandesce with. 

Wow that's distracting. Still, she has more training on dealing with knives than with tiger claws, so this still doesn't go terribly.

Probably helps that she's still giving Incandesce plenty of fire to work with! 

Yeah. Though she's pretty much bootstrapped into self-sustaining by now.

All the more fun. 

Yeah, it kind of is.

Makes them excellent nemeses.

Perhaps they should wrap this first fight up.

If she insists...
