[In theory, he should've accepted that just fine. Battles and competitions make sense to the both of them-- why wouldn't a challenge be a reasonable answer in a situation like this?
Instead, there's a sense of something missing. A hollowness. Travis wrinkles his brow and shakes his head, because he's being stupid and sensitive for no reason. He's gonna kick her ass like last time and be done with it.]
I think you mean #1, but we'll see. [In Asia, anyway.]
[But weirdly, while there might have been some nagging feeling in her (even through how pissed she was still, over the whole rejection thing) that Travis might slack off in training and not be prepared for what lied ahead for all of them. At least this sounded like it would give him a little motivation, just like him telling her to get better and to kill him actually kind of jumpstarted her ascent to improving herself. That was good, right?]
[Motivation was good. It was more than him bumming around, waiting for something to happen and simply rolling with the punches-- like he always did when shit got rough.
Shinobu's right, and he hates it, so he doesn't even bother answering her. Fighting's what he's good at, isn't it? He should stop trying to play nice and get with the program.]

[Yes, that's the way she's trying to make this situation better.]
