[So what's the best thing for someone who's been spending their time alternately fretting and pretending not to be fretting over circumstances well beyond their control

OH yeah. If puppy-eyes were an Olympic sport, I'dve had a gold medal!
[... Although she wasn't quite as good at pulling them off now that she was a scrawny teenager with a violent rep, but YOU BET YOUR BOOTS THERE WAS A TIME WHEN SHE'D BEEN CUTE AS THE DICKENS AND KNEW IT.]
[He taps his chin, giving her a considering look accompanied by an amused smirk. He also doesn't know what the Olympics are but he gets the gist!] I dunno, I'm having a hard time picturing you as puppyish...
[BUT THE FIGHTING. He is excited about it he hardly ever gets to kick people anymore.] You bringing any weapons?
I can fist-fight in a pinch, but I gotta admit, I love me some weapons.
[Guess who's excited about being able to use some? She's not bothered by the nonlethal aspect-- Heather's always been a 'use whatever's around' sort of person. It's amazing how much damage you can do with something that to most people would seem completely harmless.]
[Oh, that? Of course Archer's seen the signs for it, but why would you be stupid enough to enter something like that anyway? He doesn't have a gun and let's face it, he really wouldn't do much in a physical fight.]
I have no interest in it. [Normally this is the sort of thing he wouldn't even comment on... But Heather, you've been so helpful and he... doesn't exactly hate you!]
Good luck. [Whether that's in regards to convincing your dad or actually fighting in the tourney is unsaid, though from the half-smirk there, Archer is clearly amused by your antics.]
[Heather's antics are frequently intended to amuse! ... Whether they DO amuse or not tends to depend on whether or not the viewer has a sense of humor]
[She grins wolfishly at the screen.]
Thanks, I'll need it.
... With my dad, I mean.
Not with the tournament.
[... She's a pretty cocky little thing when you get right down to it.]

[THE PUPPY DAYS EXISTED AT ONE TIME.]
[She grins, though.]
Uh, YEAH. Seriously, I have been like... going through weapon-withdrawal. Of COURSE I'm gonna take advantage of this while it lasts.

Man, I can't wait to see how some of the other fighters around here do stuff...! I'm used to mostly fist fights, so this is real excitin'!

I guess I'm not surprised.
I can't be the only one who's used to fighting their own battles and gets a little sick of having to make technicolor animals do it for them.

You and me both. It's hard to get sparring in when your partner most of the time only comes up to your knee.

I don't trust anything that can breathe fire enough to fight it for fun.

I take it you're a good fighter?

You could say that.

My whole team's gonna be there, so you better watch out. We're not afraid to hit girls.

[Heather grins wickedly and pounds a fist into the flat of her palm.]
And I'm not afraid to kick a bunch of butts, so you guys had better be READY.

We're always ready. Part of the job description.
