Welcome to Gaia! ::

Two fights down today, and Yin was ready for more. He had taken a chance to get some water and take a breather since his fight earlier, but he had not rested up fully, not given his body a proper chance to re-cooperate.

That did not stop him from approaching Mademoiselle Temes when he saw her entering the gymnasium. "Greetings," Mademoiselle Temes. He suddenly remembered something from the trials, though thankfully it was a memory from Famine and not the trial of Death. "I know that we intended to wrestle the other day and never got a chance, but would you like to spar with me?" he questioned somewhat hopefully. Because, bruised midsection and swollen jaw aside, he was really hoping to do something before he started to think again.

If the hand on his arm freaked him out slightly the hug certainly did. He tensed up, somehow even more one edge now than he had already been, but it was over quickly enough. And ghouls...you never knew what ghouls would do. If they wanted a hug there was nothing to do but accept it.

To cover up his discomfort he slipped into a battle ready position. "Please do not hold back, if we do not push ourselves than we cannot get stronger." He chose not to mention that today? Today he welcomed the pain.

Alexander would probably have been a much happier zomboil if Yin would agree to hug him on even a daily basis. But, Yin was progressing, which was all that one could really ask for.

The ghoul seemed ready for an attack and he was not going to hold back. No today. "As you wish," he informed the smaller figure before dropping into a crouch, his leg sweeping out to try to knock her off balance.

HP: 35/40
Damage: 8

"Are you alright?" The weremantis was worried, hoping that he had not injured her ankles enough to make her fall. He reached down to help her up, though with long, clawed fingers it was a bit hard to not accidentally scrape her as he tried to offer assistance.

HP: 35
Damage: 1

Yin tried not to wince as her nails dug in, but it was not too big of a deal and once she was on her feet she released him. "It is fine. I should know that you can handle more than that." Wrestling or just sparring, he really did not care at this point. He just wanted to do something.

Even if that something meant injuring others. Perhaps if he injured her enough she would fight back with more fervor. He lunged at her, closing in and then bringing his knee in toward her abdomen, a slightly difficult attempt due to her height but that certainly did not stop him.

HP: 32
Damage: 9

Hearing her gag Yin knew precisely how powerful that last blow had been. But she was moving forward and punching him, a blow that landed solidly in his stomach, knocking the wind out of him in a surprised hiss.

Maybe he needed to change tactics, to actually try to wrestle a bit. So he stepped closer rather than farther away, reaching for her shoulders and trying to find a way to wrestle her toward the ground, not that he was really getting anywhere with it.

HP: 27
Damage: 1

Yin twisted somewhat so that when he hit the wall it was not as bad as it could have been, and as he fell to the floor he slapped it, limiting the damage there as well. But still, it was a lot to try to recover from.

He got back to his feet slowly, readying himself for her next attack but as she had thrown him he was in no position to actually attack her until they were within range, so he simply edged closer.

HP: 20
Damage: Lawl no

He was off-balanced but he did not fall. It still took a lot of effort to keep on his feet, and he could not dodge or even block her punch. He quickly lashed out with a punch of his own aimed at her shoulder, but his weight was off-centered and this blow lacked the power that he was capable of. He was already in a fighting zone, just needing the release of energy. Anything not to think anymore. Anything not to dwell on the night before.

HP: 15
Damage: 3
