"You got it!" Leo began to swing punch after punch, each time doing her best to hit Fran. She figured now was a good a time as any to make small talk. "So, Francesca.." *punch punch punch* "How did you learn to fight? Demetri teach you?"

Francesca easily dodged it all, moving this way and that. Francesca- "No way, he just gave me some pointers a few times or something... And introduced me to some new styles... and, whatever, OK, he taught me some."
Leo could talk easily through it all, and the type of thought involved in the combat was almost animal - she could do it at the same time with hardly any impediment. Hitting Francesca would be about working her into a space she couldn't move from. Heck, just accomplishing that much would be something of a success, whether she connected a blow or not.

"I wish I had that kind of training when I was younger. Most of the time I just threw my limbs around and hope I hit something. I got better the older I got, but training like this is something I need." After a few uncoordinated swings Leo tried a different tactic; One fist raised and poised to punch, the second down low near her hip. She swung the first but stopped short, bringing up the second for an uppercut. Francesca could dodge it now doubt, assuming she saw it coming, but it had an element of surprise that was worth the effort.

Francesca dodged it so easily she still didn't need to use any superhuman powers to do so. Francesca- "That move is called a 'feint', or 'rope-a-dope'. I'm not a dope, but it might work on some guys."
Fran ducked past Leo with a little roll and came up closer to the center of the room. No backing her into a corner if she does that kind of move.

At least she couldn't say this wasn't fun. "You know, this would be a hellova lot easier if you just didn't move." Backing Fran into a corner would be a miracle in itself, but trying couldn't hurt. Leo followed behind Fran at a leisurely pace and eyed the corner behind her. She wasn't sure how to shove her in it, she was more or less winging it. Then, she tried to move as quickly as possible without burning too much blood towards Francesca. If the vampire didn't dodge it, Leo thrust one fist forward, not with the intention of hitting her, but instead trying to force her backwards. Depending on which way Fran moved, Leo would try to move with her as means of blocking her. It wasn't the most effective plan, but it was better than nothing.

Leo couldn't be certain, but she might have just forced Francesca to use her vampire speed. With uncanny quickness, the smaller lady ducked around Leo's move, and Leo found herself in the corner. No real advantage lost, because Francesca was still limiting herself to defensive moves. Francesca- "That's always fun when you can do it - put an opponent in the position they were just trying to get you into. Well, good try, really."
In Demetropolis, Demetri- "Better, but you're still relying on speed to avoid falling into the trap. You have to train your mind not to start falling in the first place."

She could only shrug.
"Hey, I'm not complaining." Then, a she had a thought - Wall climbing. The first time she actually got it to work she fell, sure, but maybe she'd get lucky this time. Francesca was in the perfect spot and so was Leo. She decided to give it a go.. "Just hold that thought for me."
Like some creepy gothic spider, Leo turned and jumped, standing with her legs and arms outstretched where the two walls met. She felt confident enough to shuffle higher and higher until the top of her head was against the ceiling. Then, Leo would venture on the ceiling and skitter across it like a giant bug, dropping down behind Fran and giving her a good shove in the corner.
If not, she'd either fall, or Fran would.. do something.

In the heat of a moment with a positive attitude, Leo climbed ably. She even rounded the corner onto the roof with only a split second of trepidation. But as she looked down at Fran to do her move...
She came flying free of the ceiling too soon, falling face first at the floor. Francesca caught her by the shoulders, and as the dust settled on the moment's chaos, Leo had her face in some boobs. Francesca- "Hello down there. "

Leo blinked, taking a moment to process what just happened. As her brain slowly caught up, she was quick to back away from Francesca and smooth out her clothes and hair in order to pull together what little confidence was left after that. Try as she might, she couldn't smirk; For where there once was, was now an embarrassed smile. On the inside there were practically fireworks going off. 'Jeez, she knows how to get me going..' "Ha..ha.." *Ahem* "Does um, does that count?" She gestured between the two of them with shy, frantic hand movements.

Fran was surprised. Francesca- "What? Wait, what?"
Francesca- "Hey, you feminine wiled me."
Francesca- "Demetri, do wiles count?"
Demetri- "Everything counts."
Francesca- "OK, you win."
In Demetropolis, Demetri- "Now where were we?"

The smirk was back! "Oh, please. Don't start complaining now, sweetheart."
"So, what's next?"

Francesca- "I have no flippin' idea. You like magic? I can try to teach you il malocchio."

Fran formed her hands into a familiar symbol, but she was not rocking out. Francesca- "This. This is the malocchio."
