"Are you sure you're up for it? I mean it has only been two days since you injured your shoulder." Cyra said, earning a scoff from Catra who glanced across the room at Amur, who sent her a look that was somewhat between a smirk and a sneer.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Besides Adora agreed to help me teach the class...and ask anyone. I'm a better teacher than Mr. over there." Catra retorted, earning a growl from her cousin who took a step toward her.
"Shut your mouth! They only like you because you let them do whatever the blazes they want! You don't even know what it means to be a Magi-Cat!" he snarled.
Catra tried not to let it show that is accusation didn't hurt because after all, that was sort of true.
Cyra opened her mouth to speak but before she could, Catra had turned toward him—smirking before putting her hands on her hips.
"You really want to know something Amur? Some people may think they are champagne in a crystal glass but in reality they are just hot piss in a plastic cup and for your information, you're not champagne or even close to anything similar."
Cyra had to bite her tongue to keep from laughing at that particular response.
"Yeah well you're..." Amur began to try to respond, only to get flustered which only caused Catra's smirk to grow bigger.
"That I'm some kind of half bottled, shitty whiskey? Yeah, I think everyone knows that by now Amur...gonna have to come up with something better than that."
After Amur left the room, mumbling to himself Cyra allowed herself to chuckle.
"That was an awful thing to say to—about—him." she said, although there was no way she could hide the amusement she had at the rather odd insults.
Catra just shrugged "He has given me hell ever since we found out I was the prin...Heir. I think it was high time I gave him a dose of his own meds. Now, if you will excuse me I have a group of munchkins to scar for life."
Cyra watched as Catra left, waiting until she was well out of earshot before she actually burst into laughter.
"where the hell does that girl get some of the shit she says?" she asked out loud to no one in particular as she shook her head.
"Come on, the kids are faster than you are!" Catra laughed as she stared down from the mountain of metal rods and rope, watching as Adora struggled to untangle herself from one of the ropes.
"Yeah, well unlike some people I don't have liquid bones or superhuman reflexes!" Adora retorted with a huff.
"Uh-huh, sure Adora. Whatever helps you sleep at night." Catra said, much to the amusement of the class that she had been trying to teach.
"I think you need to give the mighty She-Ra a private lesson, Princess." Kaz stated, causing everyone else to start giggling at the implication, only for him to be knocked off of his perch by a well aimed rubber ball that Catra had brought to use in their training.
"Shut up with this princess crap you little brat." Catra retorted, smirking as he hit the water beneath the obstacle course.
Adora couldn't help but chuckle at the interaction between Catra and the ten year old.
"You know, I never expected you to be a teacher to anybody...Let alone to a group of seven through ten year olds." she stated as Catra slid down one of the ropes, holding a hand out toward her.
" Yeah well it was either teaching them or letting Amur fuck up. Now come on, let me help you out of that mess you've gotten yourself in." Catra retorted.
"You know we have got to stop having these kinds of scenarios happen with us." Adora retorted, letting Catra pull her up.
"Yeah..." Catra drawled, mind seeming to wonder for a bit before she added "about what happened in the temple...I...I didn't really want you to die...I just...I wanted to surpass you...I really couldn't sleep the night after that—thinking that I had."
Adora was surprised by the sudden honesty although she just smiled a bit.
"I never thought you'd actually ever apologize for anything either." She stated, watching as Catra went ridged—and slightly puffy.
"Oh shut up before I shove you into the pool too." Catra quipped before bolting off toward the top of the contraption before adding "Kids, the rest of you can go...Class is ending early today."
"You know, I never really realized how bad that it got for you with Shadow Weaver. I mean she was terrible with everyone. I mean even I was afraid of her but I just thought that was how the world worked...and I'm sorry I never really tried to do anything to..." Adora began sometime later after finally managing to climb up to the top where Catra was sitting.
"Yeah well that is one thing I don't want to talk about. We were kids so let it go." Catra responded, not even glancing away from whatever it was she was staring out, her tail twitching ever once in a while—something Adora knew meant she was thinking hard about something.
"Catra, what happened to you was awful and I was a terrible friend and..."
Adora didn't get to finish that sentence before she found herself plummeting into the water below, only to resurface to see a haughty Catra standing on the edge of the pool, arms crossed.
"I said drop it. Don't make me have to dunk you back under there."
Catra said, only to earn a splash of water to the face a second later.
"Hey! That's it! I'm going to drown your ass." Catra growled before wading into the water after her, although they both ended up laughing a few minutes later after Adora had managed to dunk Catra under, resulting in her hair going flat and completely covering her face.
"You know you're going to end up looking like a poodle or something when you dry out." Adora teased as Catra shook off, a blush coming over her face.
"Oh shut up already. I get it, I look stupid after drying off because of my fur and it's volume problem." Catra responded, trying—and failing—to sound nonchalant although it was what Adora said next that really set her face ablaze.
"You don't look stupid, actually I think it's kinda cute."
