"Verbal sparring partner"... Osprey lifted her head, studied the male's face for a while and repeated the combination of words in her mind few times and found this expression fitting to their relationship or whatever it was that was transpiring between them. Even though she didn't know the fellow that well, nor did she like him too much, she had to admit that tossing insults and "smart words" at each other was fun. She was enjoying herself.
