Jade shrugged. ”You could but even he doesn't know everything that goes on in my head.” she replied equally mischievous. ”What if we made things interesting?”

Killian raised his eyebrows. "Oh? And what do you propose to make it more…interesting?" he asked, looking at her with amusement.

”Well, I was just thinking…” she answered coyly. ”If you're still up to a sparring match, if you win I could give you another reason.”

"Hmm…" Killian studied her. "Now that sounds interesting."

”And if I win…” she paused thoughtfully. ”What would you give me?” Jade asked when she couldn't think of anything to ask for.

"A secret." Killian replied with a smirk, winking at her. He hummed softly.

”That sounds intriguing.” Jade smiled, raising a brow. ”Deal.”

”I’m glad to see you two getting along again.” Sparky smiled softly as they approached.

Killian grinned. "We're only getting along because I told her I would tell her a secret." He replied, winking.

”That’s not the only reason and you know it.” Jade smirked at Killian. ”Sparky, I’m sorry I snapped at you earlier.” she said embarrassed.

”I was not offended, miss, but I’ll accept your apology.” The hologram smiled.

Killian chuckled softly. "Yes, I do know it." he replied with a laugh.

“Well, I’m glad to hear that.” Jade nodded. ”Maybe you should power off for a bit. You don't have to burn yourself out, Sparky.”

He shrugged. ”I can function normally for a bit longer, miss, but if you insist I can rest until you need me.”

Killian watched them, cocking his head a little. He was still rather curious about Sparky, but he figured he could ask more later.

”Your choice. But we still need to be able to get you home after.” Jade reminded him.

Sparky nodded before looking at Killian. ”I suspect you’ll want another ride.” he winked.

Killian laughed. "Mhm." he replied. "I can't help it, you're nice and fast!" he grinned cheekily at Sparky, laughing.

Sparky returned the look shamelessly. He didn't understand why humans got so flustered over this sort of thing. ”Then I’d better save some of my energy.” he chuckled.

Jade rolled her eyes at the display. ”I never thought I’d make something that could flirt like this.”

Killian laughed, then looked at Jade. "Hm? Oh, alright." he replied with a chuckle. He shook his head a little. "He learned it from me."

”He must have.” Jade agreed, silently acknowledging her inability to flirt well. Quips and banter? No problem. Flirting? Not so much.

”I’ll see you guys later.” Sparky smiled before his hologram disappeared and the headlights turned off.

Killian chuckled. "Aren't you glad I'm such a good teacher?" he asked teasingly, looking at her with a mischievous smirk.

Jade rolled her eyes. ”I suppose he could have had worse.” she conceded. ”Do you still want to spar right now? Or should we put it off until you’re more healed?”

Killian chuckled. He sighed. "I'm good. Just…try not to punch the burned spot, alright? That's all i ask." he replied, looking at her.

Jade nodded. ”I can do that.” she promised. Now that I think about it, I'm not sure I can actually test that feature on him after all… I didn't make it to use on him anyway.

Killian nodded a little. "Alright. Then…what are we sparring with?" he asked, raising his eyebrows. "Fists, weapons, what?" he asked.

”Fists are fine. I didn't bring any of my stun weapons.” she pointed out. She usually preferred not to use serious force when she fought. And guns were absolutely out of the question… especially now.

Killian nodded. "Alright. I'm not going to sweat in this shirt, because I'll still have to wear it later, so." he pulled the shirt off and set it aside, checking the bandage.

Jade blushed a little as he removed his shirt, having not expected it. She had already seen the scars on his arms and he had mentioned the burn but… She couldn't help as her eyes wandered over his form.
