I love coming up with names. [ At the peak of the toss, he shifts. The light, air-filled ball form shifts to solid metal. Certainly heavier and sturdier, but not too much for her to handle. ] How about... Starike?
[ Like the way commentators say 'strike!' STAAAAAAAAAARIKE! ]
That's not too surprising. [ There's a gentle amusement in her voice that quickly turns into a burst of her vivid laughter. Making it clear she likes the surprise of his change, though she does decide to playfully drop her arms as though the heft is too much for her.
She can play jokes too! ] Starike... hmmm [ she says it again this time with more gusto as she tosses him up without any problem. So much for her previous joke!] Starike!
[ Yamada’s voice, now deep and bassy thanks to his heavy metal body, is filled with bubbly delight when she holds him like a hefty load. He isn't sure how strong she is, really, but he knows it’s way more than she lets on. The idea of them in a full battle together, at their limits, excites him. ]
I’ve got more- [ At the peak of his arc, a handle extends, decorated in spiralling purple to match her combat attire. Spikes jut out from the sphere, green crystals that glow exotically to match her eyes. ] Morningstarfire!
[ Strong enough that she's gotten pretty used to holding back on Earth. Sometimes she wonders if she could actually show him how strong she is, but there's always that little part of her that feels like she should be careful.
But when she changes she does catch him by the handle with a very firm grip. Then she gives him a good few waves back and forth. ]
Would you really want to go into battle with me like this?
[ He adds 'swoosh, swoosh' noises with his voice as she swings him. As she swings, he adjusts his mass. It's an odd feeling, as he adds force to the swings. ]
Of course! You're such a star of the show, I want to play a supporting role.
[ He likes showing off, but he's always had a tendency to like playing second fiddle. Kori is excellent for it. ]
[ The swoosh noises get a laugh from her, loud and free, completely unfiltered. But really whose surprised with her being fairly unfiltered? She tries to adjust in tandem with his changes, increasing her strength some to swing harder. ]
I'm happy to share the spotlight. [ Hmm ] Wouldn't it hurt you if I connected with something?
[ Yamada uses his instincts to go with the flow, making the swings of his brutal form as graceful and smooth as possible. There are clear advantages over your average whacking stick. No wonder all those knights had sentient swords. Maybe he’ll sing. ]
Not if I don't make pain receptors! [ The glittering spikes rearrange themselves into the outline of a grin. It’s a bit more complex than that- if he got mangled, it’d hurt. He doesn't know if it's psychosomatic or what. ] I'm always at least a little aware of sensation, but I don't have to feel it the same way all the time.
[ Yamada changes in her grip, the handle becoming a gauntlet that flows over her fingers, the spikes of the morning star becoming fearsome knuckles. His form squeezes her hand, giving an affectionate gesture regardless of his shape. ]
I don't know if they suit me or if I have to suit them. [ Hid tone is amused, as he tries not to think of the less comfortable implications of his powers. ] But I don't mind either way. As a wise sailor man once said, I am what I am.

Oh! That would make it work out! [ And makes her feel quite a bit better about swinging him around. ]
Your abilities are so unique, fitting for you. [ She hesitates to look down at him] I hope you don't mind me saying that.
