[ It's times like these that make Yoimiya wish she was a good liar and could pull off a poker face. Shoot, they did talk about keeping their cool in front of Arajax just in case he was lurking around and she already blew it in the first few second. Great job, Yoimiya..., she mentally facepalms at her obvious.

Maybe Ajax isn't the best liar but he's certainly better than herself, she'd be floundering if it wasn't for him. Yoimiya is able to pull herself together thanks to his quick thinking, nodding her head to try and make it seem authentic. ]

It's nice to meet ya, Arajax. I'm Yoimiya! Sorry if I scared you, I was so impressed you have the same name as him that I couldn't believe what I was hearing for a second. Ajax is a strong warrior, so it wouldn't surprise me if you were just as powerful.

[ Whew, she's still not great at lying but hopefully that keeps him from looking too deep into the situation. If he's truly anything like Tartaglia, then she has no doubt the little Aranara will hone in on picking a fight with her beloved. ]

Yeah, do you mind elaborating on the part about training? Both of us enjoy fighting and we're always looking to improve our skills in any way we can.

[ Welp, it's not a total and complete lie on her end. ]
