Okay, That Stung... [Open]

Vivio wasn't in the best of moods.

That was probably an understatement right there - she was downright crappy. After her argument with Sherry, Vivio had retreated into the Sensoriums, mostly to work out her frustrations the best way she could - by training.

Bringing up a training room and setting herself up for practice, Vivio began by striking a punching bag, fists and feet flying as blow after blow connected. She could feel herself slow just a bit - Sherry's punch still stung. But, it was probably worse than that.

It's just that you're so stupid sometimes I can't stand to be around you!

Sherry hated her for a reason more than just being there. Vivio's reaction to that proved it, but she couldn't understand way.

Stupid...? Vivio mused to herself. H-How am I stupid? What have I done to make her think that?

As Sherry continued on, the words kept ringing through her head, kept calling her "stupid". Her face contorted in rage before, briefly, she took up her adult form and struck the bag hard enough to knock it off its chain before returning to normal.

"I'm not stupid! I'm not! You're the one who's stupid! You always will be!" Vivio shouted to no one in particular before slumping to her knees, sniffling as she did.

Vivio repressed a groan hearing Hit Girl's voice. Right now, she was probably one of the few people she wanted to deal with.

"If you're going to tease someone..." Vivio uttered, staggering to her feet. "...go find Sherry. I'm sure she'd love finding someone else she deems 'stupid'."

I think that's all you need right there.

"I could, but I'm actually more interested in why you're so pissed off. The only Sherry I know is the cooking kind that people drink as alcohol or whatever. But you're obviously here for a reason, and you definitely sound upset.

She shrugged. "If she calls me stupid, she's getting one across the face. Same as anyone, really."

"Maybe you'd get it through better than me..." Vivio said. "I found Sherry - Captain Leon's kid - upset. I wanted to talk to her, try to cheer her up and she snaps at me. I thought she was just being thick-headed until she tells me she couldn't stand me because I'm so stupid..."

A beat.

"...then, I slapped her because of it. And... she punches me. In the gut."

Solar plexus, really, but...

"Huh." Well, that was a bit to think about. Not that she knew anything about this Sherry kid, or remotely cared about the captain on the ship. That was all politics stuff, and she was never really a fan of that.

"Sounds like she was in one of those moments where nothing anyone said would have worked," She said. "Not that slapping somebody isn't going to bring out a reaction. Violence bring violence."

She shrugged. "Do you think you're stupid?"

"No, of course not!" Vivio admitted, a little shocked. "I-I mean, I've done a few silly things and all, but nothing stupid!"

"Then the only opinion about you being stupid or not is your own, right?" Hit girl said, looking at her. "I only met you before once, and though you definitely seemed selectively ignorant, that's different from being stupid, trust me."
