Thalassa
With his level of cockiness, Thal is actually surprised when her punch lands. She only lets the fire burn for a second, letting it wink out with a breath as he grunts. There's a thrill of satisfaction at having landed such a brutal shot, but she's still relieved to hear his breathy laugh, her own mixing with his as she moves to step out of his range.
"I don't recall you buying me-" Before she can finish the tease, he's at her back toppling her over his shadows like a trip wire. It happens so fast that she might have thought she was tripping over her own feet if she didn't recognize the unnaturally darkness as her feet. A sharp intake of breath is the only sign of having been caught off guard.
Rather than fight the fall, she tucks into a roll, the ash puffing around her in a cloud that tickles her nose. Clamping down on the urge to sneeze, Thal darts forward in a crouch to sweep a kick at his legs.

Guess I got caught in the middle of it
Yes I've been taught, got a little of it
In my blood, in my blood
