DISTRACT Is Super Effective! [Open]
She sneezed and the fishing rod in her hands briefly jumped in her grasp.
Astrid huffed out a grunt, a hand relinquishing hold on the line as she indignantly rubbed under her stubby nose with the back of her finger while her blue eyes dully leered at nothing in particular off-screen.
Disregarding this fleeting suspicion, she shrugged it off, merely readjusting her grip on the handle, and settled posterior more comfortably on the moss-covered boulder beneath her.
Within the encompassing towering stone walls of what appears to be a lost oasis, Astrid engaged in fishing on these familiar grounds taken from her memory of a memorable location somewhere on the outskirts of the Viking's home village -- the exact place she stealthily pursued after Hiccup and discovered Toothless subsequently. 'Course, for Hiccup and his dragon, this secret watering hole served as a base where they established their bond as well.
Today, though it just served as a relaxing getaway for one of the female's less than energy draining hobbies. Or so she thought? There's a sudden reflection of a figure on the waters pristine surface and it was impossible not to notice she now has company.
Astrid blinked a moment, then pursed her lips and turned her head to look up sidelong at whoever approached her with a stare clearly of "Hey, don't scare the fish."

Interested, she inquired, "Hm, what's so holy about him?"

"That's what the spirits that rest inside beyblades are called -- holy beast. Seraphiel is one of them. I guess you could say that they're like having your own mythical creature with you," Hoshi explained to the Viking while watching the interaction between her and Seraphiel.

Interesting, indeed, though she only understood half of that. Mostly the term "beyblade" was lost to her.
"...blade? Is that a weapon? And, wait. Spirit?"
no subject
Unicorns and fairies seemed to be lacking in popularity, however.
"It kinda is. This is my beyblade." She went through her pouch that was attached to her leg and took out her beyblade. She decided to not take out her launcher, though. "It's a top, but it's a lot more complicated than just simply having it spin."
She nodded at her question about the spirits. "Yeah. Usually Seraphiel is inside my chip, but he decided to join me or something. I can't say for certain since he was like this when I got to grab my possessions."

"That little thing? But it's..." Petite? A toy? "...how does it function as a weapon exactly?" She leans back, raising her eyebrow and smiling skeptically.
"--Unless the blades come out around the edges when it spins - maliciously sawing through your opponents?!"
Her eyebrows lift as she looks thrilled at that possible aspect. Now that would be cool!

She nervously laughed at Astrid's question, scratching behind her head a little bit. "W-Well, it's a very high impact sport where the 'blades go hard and fast, but the real fun is when you summon your holy beast. For example, let's say you have a...dragon. Now, when you call forth your dragon from inside of your chip, it's released and then you can cause real damage to the stadium and, possibly, outside of it. It's not exactly sawing through your opponents, but it's still giving them some damage."
She hoped that would sound just as cool as 'maliciously sawing through your opponents' to her.

"Even better," she grinned.
Yup, she's satisfied with that.
Scratching the underside of her chin, Astrid considered something and tilted her head. "...Hm, care to demonstrate? I'm curious."
