Dominic's Mountain Hike

Nothing popped out, but Dominic did spot something interesting. The sun was setting and it was getting darker, and he could see a plume of smoke climbing into the sky. There was a campfire not that far away from, it seemed.

He narrowed his eyes at the sight of smoke, before starting to go closer, risky as it was...the thought that it was another adventurer out here was comforting.

Dominic came closer and closer, and he could tell that the campfire was made in a nearby clearing. It was just on the other side of these bushes right in front of him, bushes that he couldn't quite see through.

"is someone there?" He called out, before starting to push through the bushes to see who was actually behind them.

"Yeah, who's there?" A feminine voice called back as Dominic entered the clearing to find a woman with long, fiery blonde hair, toned figure, and stylish yet sporty clothes sitting by the fire and cooking something over it. "Oh, hey, someone other than a Midara. There's a ton of them in this forest, lately." She smiled upon seeing Dominic, appearing to be friendly.

He visibly relaxed when he realized it was someone other than a midara this time, offering a kind smile. "Name's Dominic, and yeah, I noticed...it's wild out there, huh? Might be good to stick together with someone if you don't mind..."

"Yeah, the least we can do is share the camp. Make yourself at home. Name's Yang, nice to meet ya!" The blonde said, throwing some more meat onto the fire to share with Dominic. As he came closer, the adventurer may have noticed this girl probably wasn't a Midara.... but she was sexy enough to pass as one. Muscles and curves in allll of the right places, showing skin just where she needed to, and a downright distracting pair of tits that were snuggly wrapped in a yellow tube top under an open jacket.

"Thanks, it'll be nice having someone else around here...maybe we can travel toge...ther..." His brain was still a bit mushed from his time with Irene, so when his eyes settled on Yang's body, particularly her chest, he kinda tensed for a moment, face flushing faintly as he tried to keep his staring less obvious.

"Where are you traveling to? Personally, I'm bounty hunting, there's plenty of no-good Midara in these woods that fetch some nice coin if I bring them in." Yang asked him casually, not yet picking up on where Dominic's mind and eyes were going. But, the sight he was resisting only got more lewd as Yang leaned forward to mess with the fire using a stick.

He couldn't tear his eyes away as he tried to continue the explanation. "Heading up towards the top of Mt. Surge. There's supposedly a sort of blessing one can get up there, and seeing as I'm part lightning elemental...something like that could be...really helpful-"

"All the way up that mountain, huh? You can use lightning? Show me, that sounds cool." Yang replied, looking to Dominic with excitement as she took a piece of meat off the fire, put it on a plate, and handed it to him.

He smiled a bit, taking and starting to eat the offered food to get his mind off her cleavage. "thanks, and...it's hard for me to show outside a fight, unless...you're wanting to spar?"

"Ooh, a spar sounds like fun. Get some exercise before we go to bed. I'm up for it if you are." Yang answered with a nod. "I oughta warn you, I'm pretty good. And, I'm not good at going easy on people." She boasted proudly.

He eats a bit more and then sets it aside to get up, smiling a bit, this felt nice... "Heh...wouldn't be fun if you held back, though, and I could use the practice..."
(Man if only he knew about like half her moveset)

"My thoughts exactly!" Yang agreed as she shot up to her feet and started stretching out her slender curves and impressive muscles. "I'm ready when you are, Dominic!" She said with a big, sunny smile while she readied herself, revealing a pair of strange-looking yellow gauntlets.

Dominic: 30 Willpower
Yang: 30 Stamina

He took a breath in to focus himself as he got up, drawing his blade with just a *slight* flourish since he could afford the dramatics a little, focusing and sparking up, electricity tracing over him as he activated his abilities
[Electrical Infusion]

Electrical Infusion (36) Success
One-Two Strike (84,77) 1 Success

Yang smirked as she watched Dominic draw his blade, and she made a show of punching at the air while he prepared his thunder. But then, the moment he was finished, she darted in and she jabbed him right in the jaw. "Try to keep up!" She taunted him with a wink.

Dominic: 29 Willpower, Infusion
Yang: 30 Stamina

He stumbled a bit, shaking his head for a moment, before looking back with a smirk, it'd been too long since he had a true FIGHT.
"...heh, I won't disappoint!" He took advantage of her proximity and went to triple strike at her.
[Flurry of Blows]

Flurry of Blows (76,85,81) 1 Success, Crit Fail; Stun (21) Fail
Rising Dragon (Auto), Downed (35) Fail

Yang grunted as the surging blade caught her once on the arm, but then she swayed to side and avoided Dominic's follow up. It could have been that the blonde brawler was really fast, or it could have been that her foe's thoughts were slowed down by seeing her breasts swaying along with her. But, either way, Dominic wasn't able to react before he took an uppercut to the chin.

Dominic: 27 Willpower, Infusion
Yang: 29Stamina

He stumbled a bit before laughing, this was...really fun actually, though her chest admittedly was somewhat distracting. Either way though, he jumped right back into the fight.
[Flurry of Blows]

Flurry of Blows (55,84,22) 2 Success, Stun (12) Success

Yang tried raising her gauntlets to deflect Dominic's sword, but he attacked through her guard and made good contact. The blonde's hair started frizzing out from the electric shocks and she stepped back and shook her head to readjust herself.

Dominic: 27 Willpower, Infusion
Yang: 27 Stamina

He wasted no time and kept up the momentum, this time just going for one strike though, couldn't overextend, he's learned that lesson already...
[Basic Attack]

Basic Attack (13) Crit Fail
Marvelous Suns (Auto)

Yang quickly hopped back, staying out of the way of the charged blade. She was light on her feet and had a spring in her step. The busty brawler didn't go for a counterattack right away, but that didn't stop a rather alluring show to happen about a foot below her eyes for Dominic to ogle.

Dominic: 26 Willpower, Disadvantage
Yang: 27 Stamina

And...well, he did, face flushing for a moment before he just tried to get his head back in the game and back on the fight.
[Flurry of Blows!]

Flurry of Blows (99,49;71,64;31,68) 3 Fail
One-Two Strike (1,90) Crit Success

Dominic attempted to realign himself, but Yang was a step ahead of him. She dashed in and punched him right in the nose, throwing him for a loop before he could ever raise his blade.

Dominic: 25 Willpower, Stunned
Yang: 27 Stamina
