Destra inhaled deeply then exhaled. It was time for him to train a bit and practice with his powers. For today he was working on finer control over his sand skeletons. To that end he was here at a more isolated, but still accessible portion of the beach. He stretched out his arms and unleashed his red lightning into the ground. In a matter of seconds ten skeletons made of sand rose out of the ground. Full optimization was the goal. In a lot of ways these things were programmable and as Destra found flaws he would take mental notes, and make adjustments.

He took a fighting stance and looked at them. "You all know the drill, come at me with everything you got!" he commanded. The skeletons weren't sapient, in fact they were part of him. Still, they came at him following a very coordinated but frenzied pattern. To anyone who happened to see, they might even assume it was an actual fight. Which was why he chose the location he did. Explaining to people what he was doing was well... annoying.

Diana was running along the beach with Frío today. She was doing more endurance training with Frío. The training waa basically pointless due to the fact she was already at peak human capabilities. She abosoletly did not need to do any training, but here she was trying outrun Frío and doing other cardio stuff on the beach with Frío. Diana was at least getting some type of enjoyment out of this, it was fun to just run around with Frío and not having to deal with some big monster coming to fuck things up.

While she was chasing at Frío something caught her eye of in the distance. She came to a stop and just stood there squinting off trying to figure out what she was looking at. "Frío slow down. I think I see a few monsters up ahead....they look like...they are doing something."

They didn't seem like they were coming towards them or actually noticed them. Diana could probably just turn around and deal with them later if they were still around. She whistled to Frío so she could hop on his back and get a slightly better and safer view. "We don't have to let them ruin or fun time. We could ju- wait. They are attacking someone?!"

That's....odd.
Yeah it definitely looked like they were attacking someone which was odd an thing to see. Diana wasn't sure if that was Matilda fighting something on her own or somehow there was another guardian being attacked. It didn't actually cross her mind that someone was just getting attacked by monsters on the beach that wasn't a guardian.....

"Frío! Charge ahead! We need to help whoever that is." And just like that, Diana and Frío rushed off to go kick some monster butt and save whoever it was being attacked.
When they got in range, Diana leaped off of Frío shouting something in spanish as she delived a kick to one of these mons- sand skeletons? Frío also just full on plowed into the other ones that was in front of him...only to not hit them at all, he just phased through them. Diana didn't notice this and was too busy trying to beat one of these sand skeletons with her fist.
Once she sure she absolutely got it, she posed all heroically. "And just like that we saved the day!."

There was a moment of confusion for Destra. He didn't even realize that a giant ice wolf plowed through his skeletons. He did however notice a certain weirdo trying to fight them off. He snapped his finger. The skeletons immediately stopped what they were doing, and all eyes were on Diana.

"You did not in fact save the day," Destra said flatly. "I was training...."

He squinted a bit, then recognized who it was after a moment. "What are you out fighting the forces of evil, Diana?"

Diana knew that voice, she quickly spun around to face Destra and was just confused. "Destra? Wait you were training?" Training? He was training instead of getting attack by skeletons?
"I'm well...I thought you were some helpless individual getting attacked by....monsters...." Well this was indeed awkward. Diana didn't expect to stumble into Destra training on a beach of all places.

She let out a string of curses in spanish and then face palmed. "I'm an idiot!" She finally said in english. This was not a very heroic sight for Diana at all. "Look you can't fault me for thinking you look like some helplesd person getting jumped by a bunch of....sand skeletons on the beach from a distance. How were we supposed to know you were training?"

He couldn't understand what she was saying, but that was definitely a string of profanity though. Then she switched back to english and went on a little justification on what went down. Like she did something wrong, or he was mad at her. Destra was not in fact angry at Diana, some interruptions were welcome.

"You're not an idiot, you just understandably misjudged the situation. These things happen," he headed over to her, dismissing the skeletons as he did. They collapsed back to piles of sand. "So what are you actually doing out here?"

"Understandably misjudged the situation..." Diana repeated after Destra. That sounded way better than saying I fucked up or made a mistake. "Yeaaah, sure. I'm going to start using that phrase now." She laughed and went over to lean on jer invisible furry friend when the skeletons just returned to being sand.
That was....weird but cool. She knew Destra was a dragon but she didn't know he was some type of weird sand bender necromamcer, if that is a thing.

"Well I was training." Diana did air qoutes when she said the word training. "It was more like testing my limits. I can't actually....get...any more fit."

"What are you doing out here? Are you doing some weird dragon magic training? I thought dragons just breath fire or whatever and not raise sand skeletons from the ground."

Destra nodded somewhat understandingly. There was more to training than just being physically fit though. That's why he was here sharpening his own abilities. They were in somewhat similar boats with the reasons they were training so hard. Diana was constantly fending off unseen forces, and Destra had an unruly clan of dragons to manage.

"I don't breathe fire at all. And this is only one of many abilities that I have. I am as strong as I am pretty," he smirked and ran a hand throu his hair sparking with red lightning as he did. "You might not be able to get your body any stronger, but you can always improve your fighting skills."

"You don't breath fire at all? That's crazy. Dragons always breath fire in the Disney movies and even how to train your dragons." Well Diana was learning that maybe using Disney and How To Train Your Dragon to understand dragons here probably wasn't a good idea. She haven't even seen a dragon that was just a dragon and not a shifter. She also just realized she probably shouldn't have even mentioned those....
She wasn't too sure how the dragon people felt about any of those movies.

Diana tried to contain her laugh but ended up snorting at Destra's comment of being a as strong as he is pretty. "Is that your thing? I'm pretty sure you mentioned how pretty you are the last time we met."

The mention of improving her fight skills made Diana react as if a light bulb went off in her head. Why of course, she never was properly trained to fight monsters or even hunt them and just has been winging it and relying on Frío this entire time. If she improved her fighting skills then she could definitely take on a few monsters easier than before.

"Seems like the narrow reality stuff got things right about us, but they also got things wrong too. There's actually a lot of different kinds of dragons," Destra explained. "And yes it is my thing considering it is on my list of many abilities."

He ran his hands across his face and somehow managed to become more attractive, befor going back too his normal self. "But yeah, if you want I could show you a few tricks. Might as well be as competent as you can when you fight those things right?"

Diana squinted very skeptically at Destra when he mentioned that him being pretty was in fact a thing and part of his abilities. The moment he did his little hand thing just made her even more.....confused.

"Look, I don't care about tips and tricks for beauty from a dragon. There's youtube for that." Diana placed her hands on her hips and puffed out her chest. "I'm here to kick monster ass and defend this realm. If you got fighting stuff to show me and no magic mumbo jumbo then, hell yeah. I'm down for that." Diana figured learning things requiring her physical abilities would be better and quicker to learn than actual magic. Plus....she wasn't even sure if she had the ability to even learn magic. That wouldne something she might have to look into later.
