She doesn't answer. In her head, she's now replaying her escape from the lab table, stabbing the man with the scalpel. This time, though, she goes for the other guard as well, tearing off his mask and slashing his throat.

She blinks a few times, her face draining of color as she snaps to and realizes where she was, and more importantly, what she had just been thinking.

"Wh-what?"

"You did what was necessary to most ensure your own personal safety."

He snickers. Was she even listening?

She shakes her head, more to clear it from her own thoughts than in any sort of disagreement with Silas.

"Yeah... ultimately, I get that, right? I just..." She frowns, looking down at his escrima sticks, as if noticing them for the first time.

"You any good with those?"

He glances at them.

"I am very good."

Moderately good, but getting there.

"Cool."

She glances around until she can find another pair of similar, non-tasery sticks herself.

"Wanna spar?"

She'll start rolling the sticks and her wrists back and forth. There's been too much thinking all of the sudden.

He arches his eyebrows, stepping away from the bags.

"I don't go light." He gives fair warning, slipping off his jacket and belt, leaving him in just jeans and a loose gray tank top.

She'll roll her shoulders and pull off the loose tanktop she was wearing, revealing a wide, modest sports bra. She tilts her head in his direction.

"Yeah? You kinda look like ya do." She'll smile sweetly and slide each her sticks across each other a few times, as if she was sharpening knives.

He smiles, but its the baring teeth kind of smile that suggests he' thinking violent thoughts.

"No complaints afterward then." He taps his two together, signalling he's ready.

"Wouldn't dream of it."

She'll step out to the main area, circling him slowly.

He holds the left stick out by his hip, twirling the right by his shoulder as he pivots to keep facing Zora!

She keeps her sticks crossed in front of her, right in front of left, as she circles, closing the distance bit by bit.

Once she's within range, she'll strike forward, swinging the right stick in an overhead strike for the top of his head.

He swipes up to block with the left, swinging horizontally with his own right for the side of her head!

She swings her left stick outward to meet his right, arching her stick around his arm to pull it it under her own armpit.

As she does so, she'll twist her upper body to the right, trying to pull him off balance as her right stick, slides off from under his block, swinging back up toward his throat.

When she traps his arm and tugs him, Silas steps forward! He looks to intercept Zora with a short left elbow to her eyebrow to crowd Zora and prevent the throat strike!

She'll lean into it, taking it on the crown of her skull instead. Her ears ring a bit from the sudden shock, but she ignores it, pressing the stick up to his throat (now that it's lost its momentum) and torquing her hips back the opposite way, hard. Her right leg would try to come up behind Silas's, sweeping him off his feet to send them both plummeting to the mat!

Silas is taken down from the sweep! Zora lands on top of him, stick to his throat!

"I'm sensing some repressed emotions..." He smirks.

She'll quirk an eyebrow at him and glance downward for half a second.

"I'm sensing someone's enjoying this a little too much."

She'll throw her head forward into a headbutt before transitioning into an armbar on his trapped arm, pushing off of his throat to keep him off-guard as she swings her legs around each side of the arm and tugs!

Any clever retort is shut down as the headbutt lands! Silas shakes his head out, finding Zora transitioning to the armbar! He sits up and locks his arms together at the wrists, as he's still holding his sticks.

Keeping his arms bent he intends to step over and circle around one of the legs before countering with a knee bar, much in the same fashion as Zora's own attack, only for a different limb!

As he rises to a semi-standing position to maneuver for the leg bar, she'll kick out at him with her other leg, looking more to push off rather than harm. If she can achieve separation, she'll roll backwards, snatching her fallen sticks as she goes, to come back into a crouching defensive position, sticks out in front of her.

"You aren't bad, Silas."

She pushes him away and Silas attempts to switch Ito a heel hook position but quickly abandons it as the hold is too loose during their scramble.

While Zora rolls he takes a step forward for added distance before turning around to face her.

"You're far from the worst. Care to make a wager on the outcome?"

She tilts her head slightly.

"What'd you have in mind?"

She snorts an amused little laugh.

"You don't do this much, do you?"
