Stephen slipped a hand into his side pocket on his pants and produced a chocolate bar and began eating it as he slowly walked over to stand across from Amanda. He consumed it pretty fast finishing it by the time Amanda had just finished up her stretches. As she punched the ground he reached into his other side pocket and produced a water bottle and just slowly uncapped it. She was definitely an interesting one. Before he did anything else his body began releasing thermal energy. He took a long gulp of water as she spoke. He kept drinking without pause as she suggested he go first, of course the heat would probably reach her as she finished speaking or seconds later. he threw the bottle to the side and increased the heat output in all directions. In the end it would probably reach Sylvia soon as well. He smirked. and thought to himself. [i]'Good luck watching us clearly Sylvia...'[/i] In the end she would just see the mirages and not get a clear picture of any of this fight of course that wouldn't take affect quite yet. 

Stephen slowly swept his right leg behind his left and bent his knees slightly as he raised his left hand in front of him bending the elbow and leaving the hand open and relaxed. His right hand open at his side but ready to move in an instant. "I'd hate to be rude, the [i]lady[/i] should always go first." As he said this the heat would only continue to spread and intensify, not too terribly bad, but enough for some side affects to be taking place, of course that also differed based off of the victims physical condition among other things so there was no telling what was happening to Amanda with the short exposure at this point, but in any case this should be fun. And if she kept arguing this would only get easier for him so the longer he stalled the better.
