Lien flipped through all three forms of the weapon she was given, slightly nervous at how exactly she was going to use it. She didn't really work with weapons much, hand-to-hand was where she excelled. But by the look of the edges of those chains... Maybe that wouldn't be the best idea. So she didn't toss the weapons, not quite yet, for now she kept it in its primary form. Blunt force and the absense of risking hurting herself would do her best now.
As for her opponent, he seemed creepy. Not like she hadn't seen creepy people before, but still. Partly because she was a little wary about looking like a fool, charging into battle like that with a bat and all and partly because of actual reasoning, Lien decided to not take the creepy student's offer. "Um, thanks? But... I insist. You first." With that, she moved into a defensive position, awaiting her opponent's next move.
