Private Finished A Safe Haven in the Forest

This was the first sparring match he had had in a long time, but he was actually a little excited at the handicap he gave himself and also kind of curious what Ria was able to do. During peaceful times he didn't get a chance to see how strong someone was, but during a match they could let loose and get out all of the tension.

Ain's eyes looked at Ria, carefully gauging her slight movements and muscles movements until she moved much quicker than he had expected and had evaded his two strikes before coming in close and fast. He watched as she went for a punch, low towards his stomach and pulled back as fast as he could in that instant and avoided it as her fist caught air, if there was anything he was confident about it was his speed. Her sweep came next, jumping over it, he tumbled along the grassy ground and went up as soon as the tumble ended for a punch to her chest.

His violet eyes meanwhile remained locked on her, quite impressed by the show of speed, he didn't yet know if this was the best she could do but he wanted more...

Ain's punch was that hard hitting but it was fast and connected with her small but muscular body, he had not thought much about it because he wasn't used to fighting girls but his hand had punched into Ria's breast. Before he really had time to recoil over the fact that he needed to be more careful wear he aimed his attacks, he felt a burning heat upon impact like he had punched something hot, but that effect wasn't as much as it should have been on his body.

It least now he knew that Ria wasn't lying to him about her coating, it really was more intense than last time. 'So, is this what she was worried about?' before he could pull his arm back she had grabbed on to him.

Oh crap, this girl is good at turning hits into advantage, what a clever girl.

As she wrapped her furry muscular arms and legs around his arm, upon the touch he felt the burning heat on his arm that made him flinch a little from the multiple contact points and lead into the swift and strong motion of her body that twisted at him. As she attempted skillfully to take him down in the moment of the flinch he wasn't able to do anything as his body got thrown to the ground, and landed on the grass.

He just kind of chuckled as he laid on his back, he really wasn't used to this kind of fighting, but he was having a bit of a good time.

Slipping from her grasp, created a bit of distance with his speed and once he did he stopped to look at his reddened hand and arm. He was quite sure if he was a normal person, that could have really hurt but it wasn't the case for him. He was tougher than he looked and recently magic just didn't seem to effect him nearly as much as they should... though he knew it was the result of his curse.

Still keeping his violet eyes on Ria, looking her straight in her pretty purple eyes waiting for a change, he put out his hand and brought his fingers back and forth in a beckoning motion.

'Come and get me, Ria' he thought, know having a slightly better idea of what she could do.

As he waited for Ria, he noticed a change in her demeanor though he wasn't any expert in how people thought, he was at least sure she was physically a bit different; which was good. As her ears shifted and her eyes became what seemed to be like a person determined to win, if that is how she wanted it, he was happy to oblige.

Ain watched as she approached very fast, a direct assault from what it looked like but he could keep up with that level of speed, and readied himself as she raised her arm for a punch. When she jumped however he was caught a bit by surprise, he had thought she was going for the punch and he might have even had tried to attack at her as she leaped over as he definitely had time - but he did not act as he allowed what she was trying to do with a bit of bated breath.

When Ria jumped on his back and put him in a headlock, he had expected to feel the same burning heat on his bare back and on his neck as the furry body made contact with him, but his goal was not to win the sparring match but to get out all of Ria's frustration. He tilted his head up towards Ria to look at her from the corner of his eye and took a few quick steps forward as her legs came up towards his arms.

'Well, Ria, what next?' he thought calmly as he was curious how she planned to handle him.

@EmiRose

It wasn't clear what exactly he expected, but as she held onto him he felt the heat change to electrical current against his back and neck. He know understood that she was starting to feel better, and smirked back even as he felt the small bits of magic damage on him.

When Ria swinged around him in her small form he watched her, impressed by her flexibility, and took the kick to his back which in turn was electrifying. The hit knocked him hard but he was a tougher guy then he looked and managed to remain on his feet as she swinged around and landed in front of him. The next two punches came fast ast the kick, but saw the punch coming and dodged to the left side, and when the uppercut came his way he dodged to the right side.

Before doing anything else he gave a small glance at Ria in the midst of everything, she was soo strong for her small form, and it was quite rare for him to find someone as fast as her. Although, he blinked, her furry form was actually kind of cute - especially in her sporty outfit and wondered what kind of race she was because he had not seen anything like Ria before.

Switching gears, Ain with incredible burst speed flowed past Ria and went behind her, usually when he did this he would have his sword and put it to their neck but he didn't have that for this sparring match - so he instead he elbowed at the beck of her neck then went lower and tried to punch her to each of her sides with one punch each.

@EmiRose

Ain was surprised that she was able to dodge his punches and was ready to dash in to attack her more when she motioned for a time out and he stopped. When she took her top off he momentarily froze up, and blushed a little bit in surprise. 'Ah, what is she doing?' he soon cleared his head a bit and realized she was doing what he had done, though he really wasn't used to girls doing it. 'Oh, of course.'

The blush faded.

He then listened to her suggest that she fight in her human form, if he remembered correctly she said that she was stronger in her smaller form, but he didn't particularly mind and nodded his head yes. If necessary he would scale back his speed and attacks to match her, so it shouldn't be a problem, at least that is what he thought as it was unclear how it would go.
