[6] That was a narrow miss - the attack grazed the agent by her hair.
<Woah->
Xueqing then rolls to the side and sends another water sphere, but with actual velocity. [15]
Aaand she puts her umbrella in her pocket, and gets herself an ice stick - her umbrella is too "sharp" for melee attacks.

Song, apparently faltering in focus, gets hit by the water sphere. (D20: 3)
Song...shaking her head, shakes off the effects of the Vodka from last night, dashing quickly at Xueqing...making two slashes in quick succession (D20: 4, F 12), one from the front before quickly moving around Xueqing for the second slash from behind.

[Current score: S: 0 to X: 2]

[19, 4]
Xueqing spins out of range, dodging the first slash perfectly... but then feels her back being hit by an object moderately hard.
Song, if paying attention, sees a 80 popping out right as the moment the agent is hit. ...Weird. (2920/3000)
<Oof- need to be careful...>

Xueqing quickly turns around and leaps backwards, taking aim at Song.
She then dashes forward with the ice stick, and tries hitting Song on her left arm [11]. After the try, she runs aside, but keeps herself in 10m range.

Song spins around the strike (D20: 19)…before stepping back, taking a deep breath to compose herself.

"...?"
<She seems a bit tired... or off.>
<Cannot go hard for now.>

Xueqing stops in track and sends a water sphere at Song except it's slowed. [7-5]
"You fine there?"

Song steps out of the way (D20: 19).
"...Patience is a virtue."
"Even in combat."
"Even a breath...to refocus...sharpen the blade in your mind."

And in a blink, Song is already rushing at Xueqing at breakneck pace, sheathed blade making a horizontal slash at Xueqing's stomach (F20).

(Also what does 7-5 mean?)

(7 is a base roll. -5 is a penalty to a roll.)

(Hope I'm not using too many staged rolls...)

“!!!”
Xueqing is knocked back flying, not quite expecting this.
She also seems hurt, more when she crashes into a tree.
212
819
(1962/3000)
She slides down to the ground, having a bit of a trouble standing up, with a bit of blood going out from her mouth…
…but she wipes it away, giving Song a thumbs up.
“…Indeed, touché!”

Song...seeing the numbers, stops.

<...I saw that again.>
<I thought I was seeing things...>

Song then puts her sword back on her sheath.
"...My apologies."
"I got carried away."
Song walks up to Xueqing, concerned.
"Are you alright?"

"Mostly. Didn't break bones."
Xueqing shrugs, then slaps Song on her left shoulder lightly. "Gotcha."

"Jokes aside, the thing you said about 'patience' does matte- ow"

Another apple falls on her head.

"hey kiddo." Judgy is right in the tree.
"maybe call on your partner to go easy on you next time, you were practically bleeding from inside."
Xueqing looks up with a deadpan expression. "how did you even get here"
"parkour shortcut."

Song…looks up at Judgy, and shrugs, turning around.
“I’ll be more careful.”
“…And what are those numbers?”
“They make me think of a video game health bar.”

"Uhh... weird things happen on me all the time."
Xueqing is a bit confused about this as well.

"a two hundred plus, and an eight hundred plus."
"you sure are durable, but what's weird is that you take relatively high damage from all sources it seems."
"and yes that were damage numbers."

“…Does this have anything to do with the fact she’s a “Starling”?”

<Makes sense, at least?>
<One proper slash from my real sword would be an instant kill if I wanted to kill…>

...If Song stares at Xueqing long enough, an Undertale-styled healthbar will suddenly pop out with exact numbers.

Click to expand...

Song turns around to inspect Xueqing's body again.
"..."
"Can you not just...use that stardust of yours to heal yourself?"

Scrutinising Xueqing's body more closely for injuries...Song would then notice the healthbar.
<...>
<Huh.>

"Seriously I do can do it to an extent... transferring my injuries into one that regenerates more easily."
"But I cannot directly heal in common circumstances..."
Xueqing looks aside.

Somehow, only Song can see it.

The number seems to be steadily going up by 1 per 1/3 seconds.

As for injuries, Xueqing does have a wound on her back, most probably from the impact with the tree.
Seems like a hard bump and some scrapes, which... are bleeding. Slightly.

Considering she has taken a lot of damage from that, her innards are probably more injured than her back.
