Saige's expression narrowed into something of a glare as Bryan explained his petty little trial. The boy was already irritating enough, and now that he was practically boasting about his secrecy and secret knowledge, she knew she wouldn't be able to put up with him for too long. When he asked of anymore questions, she nodded and opened her mouth to speak...but not before Chao arrived. Honestly, she wasn't getting to say much today, let alone prove her worth. But she agreed to his offer with another solemn nod and turned back to the inn with him. But before she did... She turned back to Bryan. "Ah, yes. My question..."

In a millisecond, Saige tossed her gift from Chao into the air a few feet in front of her and unsheathed her sword, chucking it with a harsh thrust at the newly airborne target. It darted through the air on its course of trajectory for a second, before making impact, slicing the apple almost in half, while simultaneously pinning it back against the tree. The blade of her weapon had planted itself into the wooden trunk a solid meter, indicating what strength she had thrown it with. The entire time, she never took her eyes off of Bryan, and didn't bother to turn around to see how the thing had landed. From the deliberate sounds it made, it was clear she had made her mark.

After a few seconds, she tugged at what appeared to be a thick blue cord tied around the hilt of her sword, bringing it flying right back in her direction with the apple spill pinned on the blade's tip, falling into her hand in two neat slices when the recoil from her catch took effect. "...How does it feel, knowing you've just been outranked by a woman?" That being said, Saige took a big bite from the fruit and turned her back, not caring to wait for a response of any kind. Heck, she was going to be as passive-aggressive to the man as she possibly could towards the entirety of their quest.

Her paces worked up speed until she caught up to Chao and began to stroll alongside him. Her voice lowered to a mere whisper, limiting the range with which Bryan would be able to humanly hear. "I'll wager half my winnings from this quest to which ever one of us can get him to crack first."
