meredith shook out her coat, her grin growing wider as she recovered from his quick strike. the audacity of him—she liked it. oh aye, i’ll find ye sometime, cap, she replied with a playful tilt of her head, brushing snow from her shoulder like it was nothing. maybe ye can show me the ropes... if ye think ye’ve got the patience for it.

her tone was teasing, but there was a glint of determination in her eye that said she meant it. she didn’t shy away from his challenges—she thrived on them, her mischievous energy feeding off his banter. with one last flick of her tail, she added over her shoulder, just don’t go soft on me, captain. i’d hate to embarrass ye too much when i finally get the upper paw.
