Kei stepped back as Iris zoomed towards her, actually more like a spring. Sprung? Springed? Whatever. Judging by her edge alignment and lack of any visible signs of poor use, Kei judged that Iris was probably familiar with swords, just not this particular type. Heck she wasnt a sword master herself so it might've been a lucky cut but that's bot what mattered at the moment.
Kei hopped to the side the second Iris dashed forwards and the shot missed by a mile. Sadly she didnt want to spend any additional time hitting someone with tongs so she sprinted away again, trailing dust while continuing her clacking.
"EeekThat looked like it would hurt." she squealed almost mockingly, chuckling as she turned around to keep an eye on Iris as she backed away again.
"I'd have loved a range weapon right now but...hell no. I can't make do out of this. Hey you, wanna swap for a sec?"
