"I think I like Evil Queen more," he said. "Has a nice ring to it, doesn't it? Though I suppose you'd have to shorten it to Evie. Or Queenie. Whichever you prefer." Though he sounded friendly, there was nothing friendly about his powers, and he was planning for that.
"My name," she repeated firmly, "is Evie." She was ready.
Awe, hunny, let me at him. I'd give him a taste of his own medicine… calling us Evil Queen…
Shut up, Jocelyn.
She remained completely calm on the surface.
"Okay, Evil Queen, I get it. Your name is whatever you just said. E or something? Eva? You know, you're going to have to remind me next time we meet. I really can't remember," he said innocently. "So, gonna do anything? Or is your powers stand around and hope nothing happens?"
Evie showed nothing. Her heart pounded.
Let me FIGHT!
No!
(He doesn't know what her powers are, right?)

(He hasn't met anyone before this point so no.)
"Man, that's real anti-climatic if it is," he said, yawning. He stifled it with the back of his hand and smiled. "If so, I think we can save both our time and have you leave."
"You'll have to make me," she retorted calmly. Her heart rate lowered to normal. Breathe… breathe…
"I won't have to. We have a minute and a half, kid," he said matter-of-a-factly. "I'm nice enough not to make the first move. Go ahead. Punch me."
Jocelyn considered it.
Evie replied smoothly, "No, no. Please. Show me how to fight."
"You're not helpless. I know a smart kid when I see one. You know how to fight," he said. "In fact, I've heard rumors you've already had practice…"
(oh god I'm back what'd I miss)
Evie's stomach lurched. However, she visually seemed unfazed.
That was me! He's talking about me!!!!!
Shut UP Jocelyn!
(Wait i gtg go for the night. IM SO MAD THIS WAS MY FAVORITE PART!)
"…M-maybe is was." Riverpaw took a running stance, preparing for what was probably not the best idea against a fire-user. Her ears perked up and her tail stiffened. "L-like Mom taught you…use y-your size to your advantage."
"Aish, why did I get paired up with you?" he asked. He said something else in Korean and slipped his hand into his pockets.
Cicada stopped in her tracks. She watched the pup, this was how she got the best out of people. This might be why the coach had picked her for this warm up."
(Uh.
Hey guys.)
(Sup. Dueling Class started.)
Riverpaw took a few tentative steps forward, keeping her eyes on Cicada.
Cicada still had a smirk on her face as she summoned a ball of fire in her hand. Try me.
"Aish, why did I get paired up with you?" he asked. He said something else in Korean and slipped his hand into his pockets.
Evie took a deep breath and flicked her wrists. The power sent Hyunwoo flying backwards.
Riverpaw closer eyes and focused. She felt her own energy shift, and remembered what her mother had told her. "It'll help soften the impact.." She created a thin barrier of what she called 'safety magic' around herself. It wasn't much, but it would help. She opened her eyes and started running.
