"——never done it before!" primarily aimed at Wysteria, where the verbiage just before is an incoherent run of words before it resolves into at least the back end of a coherent sentence, if kicked up an octave. Gesturing inwards, splayed arm outwards.

But that bristle of defensiveness is temporary if not outright performance, a smile still creeping in at the corners. Tony does pay attention to Ellis and his summary, and he curls his hands back into 'yesss' fists. When is this tourney thing again. Is it tomorrow. He's ready. No notes.

Well—

"Okay, but, you weren't trying to hit me back," Tony says. "So this time it's for real. Okay? Everybody, let's reset." Is Ellis actually good to go again? He wheezed a 'yes', so definitely.

"For real," she repeats back, her scoff equal parts delight and mortification. "You have already laid the man out once, Mister Stark; you can't seriously mean to do so a second time."

These protests would probably mean more if she weren't actively brushing the clinging grass and sod off Ellis' plate, and then checking the layering of the armor where he'd been struck to be certain that his arm will still be afforded its mobility. He'll need it in order to properly control both horse and lance for the second run.

For his part, Ellis has submitted to the inspection without complaint, lifts his arm and rotates it as prompted. All is as it should be. If there's bruising, it's not a pressing issue now.

"We'll see if his luck holds, ey?" Ellis tells her, before whistling after his horse. The mare had strayed towards the far end of the field to graze. After ignoring the first two whistles, she finally comes trotting towards them so Ellis can swing back into the saddle and reach down to Wysteria for the lance
