Plus, she liked Phoenix's company based on the previous times they'd been around each other. "It sounds like we a match made in practice duel heaven!" She giggled, as he explained he was looking for more time spent in the position opposite herself. She was in here so often with the dummies for her offensive magic, but she hadn't considered the fact that it was REALLY different with another person and not a motionless target. Especially considering she did not generally take the time to ask for permission to use the more advanced, which meant she just.. didn't really use them. This would be a good learning experience for the pair of them, and maybe watching Phe she could even pick up some strategy cues instead of blindless casting.
Or maybe not.
Ah right, etiquette. She nearly forgot about that as well, but as Phoenix did it she hastily returned the motion before eagerly nodding her head, as one foot slid back slightly for a more balanced stance. Her wand held firmly in her hand, she went ahead and cast her first shield so he could cast without worry. "Protego!" Phoenix would agree that they were a pretty good match or at least they were good partners for dueling practice today. But Phoenix's logic and practicality matched with Vera's bubbliness and spontaneity reminded him a little of a yin yang and he wondered if that would translate into a balanced dueling team. Only one way to find out.
He waited for her to bow, but then was slightly surprised to see that she cast first. Normally he'd expect the defensive spell - her shield spell - to come after one sent an offensive spell and it threw him off, just a bit. Was she being impulsive or was this part of her strategy? He was tempted to wait until right when her shield started to dissipate before casting as part of his own strategy.
He paused a long moment, whether it was to partially wait out her charm or because he was still considering his own spell to use, he did not say, but he eventually sent a tickling charm at her. "Rictusempra!"
