[b][i]Eris had moved the furniture so they would have a good amount of space to train, the carpet on the floor providing enough padding there. Eris hadn't changed, though she had rolled her pants up to the knees, wearing gear like this https://imgur.com/a/it86f on her arms and legs, another set for Niki in her hands as she saw her come out. She just didn't want to take any chances with anyone getting too hurt[/i][/b]
""Looks great." [b][i]She said, as she saw Niki come back out. It was visible on her arms Eris still wore the coverings she had on earlier for her arms and legs, though one might be curious as to why as no one else around wore similar ones.[/i][/b] "Hey, while you were in there, you didn't look in the bottom drawer, right?" [b][i]She asked, handing Niki the training gear.[/i][/b]
English
-
"Well, um.. I needed to use the bathroom. Number one. And I needed some paper, so.." [i]Niki clapped her hands together nervously.[/i] "I'm so sorry, I needed to find some paper, and I.. forget it. Gods, I wish I wasn't an awkward idiot.." [i]The bаstard girl would shake a little more, as she would then take the pieces of armor. Niki had clearly been embarrassed, now strapping the pieces in immediate silence with Eris looming over here.[/i]
-
"N-no, that fine." [b][i]She said, laughing a bit as the girl got a little nervous. It wasn't an insulting laugh, but the way a friend would when a joke was told.[/i][/b] "I meant in my room, the dresser that you got the clothes out of." [b][i]She was hoping the response would be no, hoping she hadn't opened Eris' private drawer. In it was mainly things like undergarments, though a few other things were hidden...[/i][/b]
-
"I-I only saw the undergarments. It looked like there was more, b-but.. Oh, Eris, I'm so sorry.. I-I was looking for more comfortable things, and I took advantage of your stuff that looked a little older, and.. forgive me, again.. L-Look, I.. I should leave if I made you angry. Really, you've been too kind.." [i]It was as if Niki would break down in embarrassment, now kneeling down as if begging forgiveness from Eris. Eris could now see Niki for what she truly was - apologetic, clumsy, and afraid.[/i]
-
[b][i]Eris didn't look angry, more embarrassed than anything.[/i][/b] "N-no, it's ok. Let's just forget about that, ok?" [b][i]She said, her face having turned a little red as it was brought up. She regained her composure a bit as she offered a hand to help Niki up.[/i][/b] "Cmon, we still have some training to do. No harm no foul, right?"
-
"Right.. I've never heard that saying before. Always "no pain, no gain".. ...I never gained a lot." [i]Niki smiled a little, still blushing like a bright red cherry, though she seemed more comfortable around Eris. She took her hand, bringing herself up as she nodded kindly.[/i] "So, what first?"
-
"The person who taught me how to fight always said stance was key, so I think we should start there. I've learned over the years, a small target is hardest to hit." [b][i]She said. She first took a stance like one would see a boxer in a movie: body straight forwards, hands up a bit.[/i][/b] "First, never point your body straight st your opponent while not attacking. It makes it easy for you to be hit," [b][i]She made the correction, turning so her front shoulder was really all that pointed towards Niki.[/i][/b] "Hands up by your face so you don't get knocked out with a jaw strike, there's a reason people call it the easy button." [b][i]She said jokingly[/i][/b] "I also like to bring hey head down a bit just to be safe. Let's your shoulder act like a shield a bit more." [b][i]Again, she made the corrections to her own stance, her head now being a very small target to hit. Her lower ribs were still a bit open, but that's what blocking was for.[/i][/b]
-
"I think I got it.. here." [i]Niki would soon take up the position as her right shoulder was tilted towards Eris, aimed towards her trainer. She would then bring her two tight fists upwards into a blocking motion, mimicking Eris' own form.[/i]
-
[b][i]She smiled a bit as the other woman took the stance.[/i][/b] "Yeah, that's good. Makes you harder to hit. If it hadn't worked for me, I really wouldn't be here giving a lesson, would I?" [b][i]She said jokingly.[/i][/b] "Another thing: make sure you stay mobile. Don't sit in one spot for too long. Easy way to get hit." [b][i]She said. She began bouncing a bit, not jumping into the air but bouncing just a bit off the ground.[/i][/b] "Bouncing a little helps you stay mobile, let's you move in any direction when you need to."
-
"Yeah.. I'm happy that you are here, though. You're the first person that's bothered to help me in actual combat.." [i]With that, the bаstard girl would smile a little, before beginning to mimic the slight bouncing. It would take many tries to effectively get to Eris' point, but she would appear rather adept in it soon enough, her position kept, her fists still raised defensively.[/i]
-
"No problem." [b][i]He said, the smile turning from a happy one to a caring one, one of compassion.[/i][/b] "I want people to know how to protect themselves. Make sure people don't think they can do whatever they want to anyone they feel like." [b][i]She says.[/i][/b] "Alright, let's work some basic techniques. Sometimes the basics will save your life. You've probably seen the moves several times though. A jab is best used to distract an opponent." [b][i]She said, throwing a quick punch with her lead hand. It wasn't close enough to even nearly hit Niki, angled so she could see the motion.[/i][/b]
-
[i]With that, Niki would practice and halt a few jabs towards Eris. None of them would come close to actual, legitimate punches on her, but they were steadily becoming structured well. Niki clearly didn't have much for muscular mass, but she could adapt and learn quickly.[/i]
-
[b][i]She could see Eris was happy, seeing her pick up the moves fast. Eris' strange gold eyes almost glistened for a moment in the light.[/i][/b] "Nice. Not many people learn the right structure that fast." [i][b]She says. She took the stance again, feet shoulder width apart. This time, instead of with the front hand, she twisted her body, throwing a punch with her back one. It clearly had a good deal more force behind it.[/b][/i] "Now, a jab is great to make your opponent move, but once you have an opening, a cross punch is a good way to make them hurt. Generally, I's aim for the jaw or neck with something like this." [b][i]She said, repeating it a few times so Niki could get the motion down.[/i][/b]
-
[i]Niki would nod once more, as she made sure to get her feet shoulder-width apart. She had recognized that from practicing with magic for so long, as long-range casting utilized balance, the environment, and the range quite heavily. Though she obviously couldn't apply that here. The first few punches with her left arm were weaker, but over time, they would begin to grow in strength and focus, as Niki smiled to herself in a successful manner.[/i] "I think.. no, it's too early to think I'm any good, but I certainly have a start. Thanks to you, Eris." [i]She smiled, light green eyes meeting Eris' golden pupils as if she genuinely intended the thanks. And hell, she did indeed.[/i]
-
[b][i]She had moved over to the side Niki had been punching with, correcting just a few things about the punch: hit with the top two knuckles, nothing major, but just the minor things hat could make all the difference, her hands barely guiding Niki's arm. She smiled as Niki thanked her[/i][/b] "No problem! You pick things up pretty quickly for a beginner. With a bit of practice you could become a great fighter pretty fast." [i][b]She said, truly believing it even if it was a bit optimistic[/b][/i]
-
"...I should work on this a lot more. One of my teachers applied his magic into melee abilities. Perhaps I could do the same? Utilizing actual energies, boosting momentum and speed.. I'd have to be careful on not breaking my own arms or worse, but it is a thought." [i]Niki would smile, while she seemed more than welcome to Eris' corrections on her posture. As if excited, a light green aura would surround her body, transparent and clear, while she seemed to practice punches with an increased vigor. A spell that enhanced her own vitality, if anything.[/i]
-
"Everyone has their own little tricks and talents that help them fight. I have enhanced strength, so obviously my guts are a good deal harder." [b][i]She said, proud of the fact and her own kinds advantages.[/i][/b] "Your magic could be a similar advantage" [b][i]She moved around Niki, still just correcting the minor things. The magic that had happened didn't seem to phase her, as she help adjust Niki's posture, placing hands on Niki's hips to shift them a bit more forward to help with balance, using one foot to slide one of Niki's own so she was standing shoulder width apart[/i][/b]
-
[i]Niki didn't mind the close proximity as much as she regularly would. In fact, she found herself enjoying it, only a little though, as she would look back at Eris calmly.[/i] "Guess you enjoy being.. close, then? I don't mind, to be a little honest." [i]After thinking about that for a moment, Niki wasn't sure whether it was an actual flirt, or just a manner that showed that she did actively trust Eris. She did like her a little.[/i]
-
[b][i]Eris blushed a little as she removed her hands, having fixed any errors she saw. She spoke as she did, a little flustered.[/i][/b] "O-oh. No, I-it's just easier to h-help fix things than to tell." [b][i]She said, though not sure if she was flustered a bit because she herself had did something wrong or because she liked being around Niki a bit too. She obviously felt some like or attraction towards her, having agreed to teach her, and she did think Niki did look good.[/i][/b]
-
"H-Hey, if you're embarrassed, it's alright. I.. I didn't mean to get too close to you, though I mean.." [i]While Niki did want to say something, she would keep it concealed away for now. Eris was so kind, and experienced in.. a great many things. Plus she had some tools for such activities. Niki was.. very new to the spectrum of attraction and such, after all.[/i]
-
"N-no. If anything it's my fault. I should've asked first." [b][i]She said apologetically. Her past was the main reason for her reaction, everything always having been the slaves fault. She shook away the memory, looking up again. She seemed to have calmed down a bit, and while she wanted to comment on the girl in front of her as well, she resisted for now.[/i][/b] "Do- do you want to continue?"
-
"...Of course. I'd be fine if you continued, it.. well.. -Please, continue." [i]Of course, Niki wanted to say more than just that, though the situation was already awkward enough. She kept her silence still, blushing a little at her trainer as the bаstard girl motioned for her to come a little closer. Admitting to her rush, she did enjoy the close proximity to her and Eris. And Eris was.. well, beautiful.[/i]
-
"Here, how about I show you a few grapples? Though I will admit, it may cause things to get a little close..." [b][i]She said, no longer sounding embarrassed about it. Then again, when she thought of it in terms of a fight, it was a lot easier to not be.[/i][/b]
-
"Of course. I'm fine, if you get.. well, closer. It's just a little new to me." [i]Niki would shrug, as she appeared to become just a little more relaxed in Eris' presence. She would free her body up, freely allowing for her one, and only, teacher to approach and begin to fix and teach her combative style and form.[/i]
-
[b][i]Eris stood across from Niki, as she took her stance again.[/i][/b] "If you wouldn't mind throwing a punch so I could show you," [b][i]She said, not worried. In a controlled environment like this, there was very little harm of actually getting hurt[/i][/b]
-
"Of course.." [i]Niki would make sure that her posture was well-managed, keeping her light shoulders towards Eris, with her feet at a width matching her shoulders. She would deliver a sudden jab towards Eris, making sure that it wouldn't hit her in the face or something of the sort.[/i]
