Yang lifts up her head, and her arms ready for a fight. Taiyang takes a swing at her with his left hand, but she easily blocks it with her robotic wrist, pushing his hand away from her. The interplay repeats with his right and her left, only this time Yang uses the momentum to turn and come back at her father with a roundhouse kick. Taiyang bends backward to dodge it, his legs in a lunge. He gives his daughter a solid punch, pushing her back a few feet.

Nearby, Rokuro and Zwei watch the two spars. Beside them is a low stool with two white towels.

Taiyang stands alone and moves forward, doing his own roundhouse kick. Yang joins both hands atop each other to block Tai's landing foot. With a loud cry, she pushes it up and back. Taiyang regains his footing in a flip while Yang waits for his landing. Using her robotic arm, she knocks him back with a single hit.

Holding onto his right bicep, Tai slides through the dirt, his feet flat on the ground until he comes to a stop.

"Whoa, that thing packs a punch!" Taiyang said

"We've been at this for weeks." Yang said, "I get it, you wanna make sure I can still fight." she said bumping her own fists "I think I'm doing just fine." she said

"You're close." Taiyang said as He stands upright, no longer nursing his arm. Walking around his daughter in a circle, he assesses her progress.

"Oh, really?" Yang asked

"You're still off balance." Taiyang said

"What?! No, I'm not!" Yang said Taiyang chuckles, "Honestly, I'm kind of surprised." she said as She lifts her robotic arm, looking down at it with a smile. "I thought it would be just this huge weight, but it feels... natural. They did a great job with this thing." she said then Taiyang comes in at her, delivering a left hook right into her face. Yang's upper body rears back both from impact and surprise. She's ready to block his right hook, however, and uses the turning momentum to deliver an elbow jab. Grinning the entire time, Tai blocks it and then dodges all the kicks she follows through with. Yang switches to punches, but Tai is too on point for her. While she uses her left hand to block an elbow thrust, Tai has grasped her robotic arm and pulled it forward. The position puts Yang in the position of having her balance rely on the weight of one leg.

"He wasn't talking about your actual balance, Yang." Rokuro said as Taiyang sweeps Yang's forward leg, sending her onto the ground on her back. He leaves her there and walks over to Zwei, who happily gets the top towel for him.

"Although, that could use some work too." Taiyang said as he takes the towel and give Zwei a rub on the top of his head. Zwei hums happily. Arms spread on the ground; Yang takes a breath before speaking.

"Meaning?" Yang said

"I saw your tournament fights. During the Vytal Festival." Taiyang said

"Let me guess. I was sloppy." Yang said in a mocking accent

"No, no, you were predictable. And... stubborn. And... maybe a little boneheaded." Taiyang said as Yang sits up and spins to stare at her father. "Do you realize that you used your Semblance to win every fight after the qualifiers?" he asked
