Yang's POV
It's training time.
Yang and Summer are sparring in the yard, mostly to train Yang and get her used to her new arm. They've been at it for a few weeks now and have made great progress.
And of course, Zwei's...
Being super cute!
Summer: "Hi-ya!" She gets behind Yang and kicks her in the butt, pushing her forward.
Summer's kind of kicking her ass. Literally. Yang regains her balance and punches her in the arm with her new arm, knocking her back.
Summer: "Wow, that thing packs a punch!"
Yang: "We've been around this for weeks, J get it, you wanna make sure I can still fight." She punches her fists together. "I think I'm doing just fine."
Summer: "You're pretty close. You're still off balance though."
Yang: "What!? No I'm not!" She looks at her arm. "Honestly, I'm kind of surprised. I thought it would just be this huge weight, but... it feels... natural. They did a great job with this thing."
Summer: "Sneak attack!"
She hits Yang across the face, knocking her off balance for a moment. Yang regains her balance and starting blocking and countering Summer's blows. They catch each other's arms.
Summer: "You know, I wasn't talking about your actual balance."
She sweeps her off her sweep, knocking her on her butt.
Summer: "Although, that could use some work too."
She goes over to Zwei, who grabs her a towel to wipe herself off with.
Yang: "Meaning?"
Summer: "I saw all of your tournament fights you know."
Yang: "Let me guess: 'I was sloppy'." She says in a mocking voice.
Summer: "No, no... you were predictable. There's a difference. And stubborn. And mayhaps a little bit boneheaded too."
Yang sits up and looks at her.
Summer: "Do you realize that you used your Semblance to win every fight after the qualifiers?"
Yang: "So what?" She turns away. "How is me using my Semblance any different than someone else using theirs?"
Summer: "Because not everyone else's is what amounts to a temper tantrum." This causes Yang to look down. "I'm serious! Once you take damage, you can dish it back twice as hard. That doesn't make you invincible though. It's useful in a pinch, but what happens if you miss? What happens if they're stronger? What then? Now you're just weak and tired."
