Hana gives him an ugly look. Somehow, it feels like she's offended.
"What, you expected me to just hammer at it like some berserker? That what you think of me, Inoue? I'm not some numbskull, some blood-drunk warrior without a brain. A samurai's gotta get in the right headspace to slay his foes, right? And if they're not human, especially so!"
She gestures at him with her incredibly-sharp blade. Then, tilting her head, she hefts her sword over her shoulder and gives him a reassuring smile.
"Relax. Relaaax. All in due time, my little dog. We've got all the time in the world, don't we? Not like the League are gonna attack Sootopolis tomorrow, eh?"
She laughs to herself, eyeing the quivering quicksilver foe in front of her. Somehow it seems like it's gotten bigger since a moment ago. Maybe his pep talk has gotten through to it. Maybe it had just quit cowering.
She looks up, at that big, dumb eye as it wipes away a tear.
"Alright, alright. You ready? Now, watch and learn!"
She takes a single step forward and hacks across the living metal's torso. As it passes through, droplets of mercury splash across the ceiling, walls, and floor, parting for the sake of her blade. If it were flesh and blood, it would be a clean kill. However, the lumbering mass just stands there, staring. Only a moment later does it realize anything's happened, and it reaches down to assess its wounds. Metal-flesh flows into the gap created by Hana's sword, and the pokemon rebuilds itself without even thinking.
A shrug, and it delivers a punch to Hana's gut that sends her reeling backward. She winces, letting out a breathless grunt. All the air knocked out of her.
"... F... fuck!"
Faltering, the Melmetal reaches out as if to help. Then, quickly, it remembers its assignment and bows its head. Its sad, watery eye would've surely accompanied a frown, had it the proper anatomy.
