Ayaka was enjoying a large piece of cake, courtesy of the kitchen's chef.

But she had other places to be and she was rather focused on eating, too. From an outsider's perspective, the inevitable collision (and the cake suddenly becoming smeared all over Ayaka's face as a result) looked to be more Ayaka's fault than Kenzi's.

"Y-you...!" Ayaka stammered angrily, "How dare you!"

Clearly, she blamed everything on Kenzi.

[wisecracked]

Kenzi stumbled back a few steps in result of the collision and nearly dropped her apple. Nearly because she managed to save it just before it hit the floor.

"How is this my fault?" She brought it back up to her mouth and took a bite out of it as she eyed the other girl. "Pretty sure it isn't." said with a mouthful of apple.

Maybe it was, in either case she really did care.

[black_lily]

Ayaka had no logic to back up her case, but she didn't really care.

"Because... because of this!" Ayaka said, wiping some cake off her face for emphasis.

... for a second, it looked like she was going to eat the cake off her hand, but she just shook it off instead.

"And nothing happened to your food..." she noticed, "You did this on purpose, didn't you?!"

It made sense to her, anyway. Then again, she was clearly not thinking logically.

[wisecracked]

For the most part, any cake sent in Kenzi's direction were stopped in midair before falling to the floor. However she couldn't catch it all and some of it splattered against her face and on her shirt.

Yup, not good.

She let out a baffled and irritated noise as she stared down at the cake on her shirt. "This! This is my favourite shirt!" She tossed her apple aside and proceeded to roll up her sleeves. "If you're going to blame me for something that isn't my fault I'm going to do something that you can blame me for."

What that something was she wasn't sure. Yet.

[black_lily]

Ayaka knew a threat of violence when she saw one. Unfortunately for Kenzi, Ayaka was more than happy to engage in a fight with her at that moment.

"Well, this was one of my favorite shirts!" Ayaka snapped back, "Which, undoubtedly, was more expensive than yours and better made!"

There was no shirt sleeve rolling on her end, no...

... instead, Ayaka assumed what was clearly a practiced martial arts stance.

[wisecracked]

Kenzi rose a brow at the girl's stance. She wasn't going to fight she was just going to add more food to the other girl's face but well if she wanted a fight.

She smirked and lifted up a couple inches into the air. "Well, if it's a fight you want, you'll have to catch me first." With that she quickly floated back and around the counter, heading for the door to go outside.

[black_lily]

Well, even if her theory based on arm-sleeve rolling had obviously been proven wrong, Ayaka still wanted some sort of compensation for the perceived slight against her.

"Coward!"

Ayaka started forward rather quickly, obviously intending to pursue. She was surprisingly fast, though not quite superhumanly so.

She still had her plate in hand, and she intended to use it as a projectile once she got a clear shot.

[wisecracked]

Kenzi's eyes widened at the girl's speed. Sure she was faster once off her feet but only barely so in such an enclosed area.

"No such thing as a coward! Just people smart enough to run away." She laughed as she slipped through the door. Once outside she remained close to the ground, she was actually pretty curious to see what the girl was going to do.

And hey, could she really get in trouble if she didn't dish out the first blow?

[black_lily]

"Hmph! At least you know when you're outmatched!" Ayaka shot back.

She slowed down as she burst through the doors. If Kenzi was going to up and admit that it was smart to run away, then Ayaka had to give her some slack, right? She had no reason to bully the weak.

"Very well, I'll acknowledge your weakness and not pursue you further if you apologize," she decided, "Be thankful for my generosity."

[wisecracked]

Kenzi wasn't normally the type of girl brag about her abilities. Braggarts only bragged because they truly lacked the power the claimed. Plus they usually didn't have the balls to go through with anything.

But she could make an exception for this girl.

She continued to hover where she had stopped and let out a laugh. "I have no reason to apologize for something that wasn't even my damn fault. The stuck up little rich princess brat needs to acknowledge she's in the wrong before she regrets ever accusing me and apologize for even making such a stupid accusation in the first place. Or did you ever wonder what it was like to take a little flight without any safety gear?"

Feel free to telekinetic her however you want. She deserves it XD;

[black_lily]

"You... how dare you!"

That plate in her hand... is now spinning right for Kenzi's head. She clearly knew how to throw plates.

Ayaka herself is soon following behind the projectile, obviously intending to attack further.

in time >:}

[wisecracked]

Oh god, plate at head! Oh wait, that wasn't a problem. Kenzi's eyes flashed a bright blue and the plate explodes against what appeared to be a solid, although shimmery, wall made of the same same colour. She was glad that actually worked, half the time her shields didn't seem to want to work.

She'd been pretty well distracted by the plate that she didn't realize Ayaka was as close as she was. She attempted a shift to the right, hoping to get out of reach before the girl got her hands on her.

[black_lily]

Unfortunately, while Kenzi was quite correct in that Ayaka was something of a rich princess brat... she didn't know that Ayaka happened to be trained in quite a number of martial arts forms. Quite the terrible combination.

The former yakuza enforcer leapt a little into the air, spinning to follow Kenzi's movement as she attempted to catch her opponent in the stomach with her left foot.

[wisecracked]

Kenzi let out a pained grunt and fell back in response to the kick. "...Fuck." Okay, she'd clearly underestimated the brat.

In a quick attempt to recover and buy herself some space she uprooted a nearby sapling and sent it at Ayaka.

Sapling murderer !

[black_lily]

Ayaka wasn't quite expecting Kenzi to start launching vegetation at her, but with her honed reflexes she wasn't just going to take it to the face, either. However, the surprise is enough that it does kind of smack her right arm and scratch it up a bit when she attempted to dodge it.

"Hmph!"

With the sapling now behind her, she moved forward again toward Kenzi. If Kenzi cared to pay attention to the small damage she inflicted, the scratches on Ayaka's arm were already healing up.

[wisecracked]

Under normal circumstances, you know as an innocent bystander watching the fight, she might have noticed. But nope. She was too busy getting her butt up into the air and out of the girl's reach.

"All y'gotta do is apologize!" she yelled down. Honestly it was more of a taunt because she wasn't expected Ayaka to apologize at this point.

[black_lily]

"That's what you have to do!" Ayaka insisted.

She began to look around, searching for something else to throw; that didn't mean she wasn't keeping an eye on Kenzi, though.

[wisecracked]

"You're the one that started this bullshit. There isn't a damn thing I need to apologize for." Why was she still hanging around? She could have flown off already and waiting the whole thing out.

Instead there she was, lazily floating just out of Ayaka's reach.

"Oh you never answered my questions before! Have you ever wondered what it's like to fly?" Distraction tactic? Distraction tactic.

[black_lily]

"Why would I? I was brought here in a plane."

Which was kind of a sore point for her. She didn't like being here that much.

Speaking of not liking things, it looked like Ayaka found a rock and was picking it up.

"And don't try to put the blame on me. You're the one that started it!"

[wisecracked]

"I didn't do shit. You ran into me and ended up cake all of your face, which by the way you still have quite a bit on you. And then immediately went into accusing me."

She had to roll her eyes at the rock, did she learn nothing after the plate?

"What about flying without a plane?"

[black_lily]

Ayaka unconsciously wiped some cake off with her free hand.

"No, of course not, I-" she stopped as she realized what Kenzi was asking.

... the next instant, that rock was flying rather quickly up at Kenzi, aimed for her stomach this time. Maybe Kenzi just has a hard face, as the plate shattering just happened too quickly to tell what happened.

[wisecracked]

Kenzi didn't bother with her shield this time, instead she stopped the rock and midair and let it float there. After a moment the rock started to do figure eights in the air.

"You what?"

[black_lily]

". . ."

Ayaka's eyebrow twitched. Okay, projectiles were clearly out of the question. She slowly looked toward the building, trying to judge the distance-

No, she'd already tried that before. Running up walls like that was impossible and, even if she could pull that off, Kenzi would see it coming a mile away.

Well, there was one thing she could try. She began picking up more rocks. Maybe Kenzi had a limitation as to how many rocks she could move like that...

[wisecracked]

Kenzi watched at Ayaka started picking up rocks. She honestly wasn't sure if she had a limit or not but she was growing bored with this in any case.

Ayaka would find her feet lifting off the ground, slowly but noticeably.

I'll leave it to your discretion how many rocks she got before being picked up~

[black_lily]

Ayaka was quick to notice, indeed. Not feeling the ground underneath your feet was quite alarming, after all.

"You...!"

She began throwing the rocks at Kenzi in quick succession, one after the other.
