"Hmm." She rests her chin in both hands, palms cupping the sides of her face as she studies him like she knows a secret that's just out of reach.
"I think you're comfortable with being the best, that you're used to getting competition to back down or off. But somewhere, somehow, someone is going to surprise them. Maybe you'll be distracted by someone or something else, or maybe it will be that same person, but you focused on a different aspect of their potential." She eases back into her sitting position, still sore but without teh spasms of pain the movements brought before.
"But they will surprise you, maybe even give you a run for your money." She chuckles. "Maybe even win. But what do I know?"

He puts his finger to his lips as she talks, a twinkle of amused skepticism holding his eye.
"Someone. Like you, maybe?" He keeps smirking, finger on his lips lazily pointing at her.
"Sounds almost like a challenge, Kasey James."

Her cheeky grin widens as he points at her, still just as amused.
"Maybe."

"Name your conditions." He lays out his hands.

"Next weekend, you and I are going to have a bit of competition out in Evergreen Hallow," Kasey announced with a confident smile, hands folding on top of one another on the table. "The whole weekend, no tech to assist us in getting anything - emergencies only. We can have up to three tools, and we can decide on them together, but the rest is us surviving by own our skills and ingenuity.
"The person who lasts the longest or is the most productive without waste or tearing the place apart wins."

"Trying to get me alone in the woods, huh?" He smiles and nods.
"Okay, I accept your date proposal."

"Eh, who knows. Maybe we'll find a creepy cabin or something knocking around the ruins." She gives him a nonchalant shrug, chuckling at the choice phrasing he provided.
"We could always set up different camps if you feel it's not challenging enough."

"I think the same camp will provide its own set of challenges, don't you?" He smiles and stares.

"I can think of a few things that would more challenging, just like I can think of a few ways it'd make keeping score easier." She holds his gaze with her own, expression unfaltering.
It was so on.

Greyson doesn't have an immediate response, instead his smile just grows.
"...you might have a few advantages after all..."

He shrugs, content to string her along.

Her mouth purses in a small O, as though starting to say something, but then it returns to its usual grin, then grows wider.
"Are you saying I would be a distraction, Greyson?" She asks in suppressed delight.

"I came here to study." He gestures at all the books.
"...I'm not studying, am I?" He smirks.

"I did notice, yes. I guess that's in my favor that I'm a good distraction, then."
