He was used to fighting, to being a punching bag, so he'd offered this girl the chance to vent on him, she seemed around his age. Xing wore simple clothes, functional and light, pants and a t-shirt, no shoes, he hated shoes. "This should do well enough," he'd say once the reached a clearing away from the community center, his toes wiggling a little when it touched the grass.

Xing would turn to look her, his eyes sharp and intelligent, "now, what would you like out of this?" His monkey tail unravelled from his waist, "do you just need something to hit, or do you want a sparring partner," he'd shift just a bit, finding his footing and balance, "I can do either."

The monkey man was well trained, skilled and strong, he knew what he was doing, "it's been a bit since I've been able to spar with anyone," he said with a small smile. @Ephemral

Yuna rubbed the eye tattoo on her forehead. It wasn't the first time it had appeared at the emotion of annoyance and borderline anger and wouldn't be the last. Its appearance signified that Yuna had intaken some of her father's divine power and if she did not use it, it could literally eat her from the inside, so when a person suggested sparring with her to vent her anger she jumped on the opportunity.

Of course Yuna hadn't taken in a lot of energy from her father, and as a result her abilities would not be as strong as they would be at some times, but she still was capable of doing lots of damage if her opponent wasn't careful.

"I wouldn't have accepted your offer if I needed something to beat on, I'd rather we spar. Though I'm gonna have to warn you to be careful when taking my punches, you may be blown away by them."

Yuna opted to keep her shoes on as she was a boxer through and through. She didn't know any other fighting style and didn't plan on using anything else for the time being. She did, however take off her jacket and rolled up her sleeves.

Yuna got into a ready stance and her tattoo on her head seemed to darken a little almost as if anticipating a fight.

"I am ready to spar when you are"

Xing was trained and trained well, tossed into slave pits and made to fight for his survival. "Good, I don't usually mind being hit when I give permission, but it's boring just standing there," he stretched just a bit, his tail sways a bit behind him, "it's been a while since I've been able to really spar with anyone, but this should be fun."

He took his own ready position, while his initial training was kung fu, he'd picked up other skills during his time as a fighter, some taught to him by other slaves, others he learned on the go. "I'll be just fine Yuna," he said with a small smile, "let's just focus on you venting a bit of that energy."

The monkey man looked at her, his muscles relaxed but ready, he was weirdly looking forward to this. Then he was on the move, the grass pressing down under his food, as his hand went it to strike at her, as his tail went to do the same at her legs.

Yuna jumped back from the advance of Xing. As a boxer, she was extremely confident in her footwork, though in many “street” fights her footwork would be dealt with by low kicks. Generally speaking, she didn’t want to take too many hits from a being she didn’t know anything about, so she decided to play a more evasive game. While she didn’t know much about Xing, she had expected that he would be capable of using his tail in his fighting style and prepared accordingly to dodge that as well. She had decided long ago that getting into a close ranged slugfest was probably not what she wanted to do with a person who had offered to spar with her. Especially since she was going to vent a bit of her powers.

“Using your tail is Dirty!” Yuna complained

Once Yuna was at a couple feet distance out of her punching range, Yuna threw her first punch. Yuna made no attempt to hide the fact that this wasn’t going to be a normal punch as she smirked as she threw it. At the end of her fist, a brief flash of light occurred and then a shockwave that would knock down a normal person emanated from her fist and was directed at Xing.

“Hope you dodge Xing!”

"Different fighting style doesn't make it dirty," he said calmly with a small smile, she was fast with good footwork, it would make this funner, "we never did say what the winner would get once this was over."

He was already enjoying this, he'd missed having sparring partners, he'd quickly regain his foot once Yuna backed off, his tail twitching a little behind him.

"Don't worry about me," he watched her make her next move, his agile enhanced body ready, and already on the move, his opponent would punch air, as he launched himself up and over the attack. He'd land to the side on one foot, his other lashing out in a kick, he wasn't trying to hurt her by any means, but he could tell by that flash of light that she was using something extra, so he'd definitely make sure she knew he was there.

Yuna smiled as she dodged the advance with a quick lean back. While it wasn't the best way to dodge, it definitely worked in the fact that Yuna was not hit by Xing's punches but bad in the fact that Yuna was on a bad footing. In order to right that yuna punches and causes another explosion in order to make a bit of space again. Yuna puts up her guard and smiles.

"You seem more aquainted with this than I am... even though I spent half my life doing this. And what do you want to bet?"

Yuna then goes on the offensive by stepping in and employing a Muay Thai style to her fighting. She goes in and tries to bait a punch in order to throw a elbow to the face.

Xing felt the force of the explosion, the sting as it pushed him back, his feet dug in, and he managed to regain his footing as the blast faded. "I did my share of fighting before coming here."

"Well....I was thinking of taking you to have drinks," he took a more forward stance, "loser buys first round?" He watched her step up shifting styles, remembering the life and death fights, the styles he saw there, but this fight was different, it was fun.

His tail would go to the ground, pushing him up, lifting him into the air, one of his legs stretching out in a kick, using the momentum of his tail to push it forward, toward his sparring partner.

Yuna laughs a bit as Xing offered to go to drinks, but she hadn't been ready for the kick and quickly put a classic Muay Thai guard stance up in order to receive the kick. She feels the kick on her arms and winces. The monkey's kick was powerful, and painful. After dodgeing Yuna reverses her stance.

"Fine I am down, but be prepared to lose because I wont let you win!"

In the southpaw stance, Yuna launches a kick toward Xing in hopes to clip him with it and knock him off of balance.

The zodiac grinned a bit as she accepted, a good sparring followed by drinks with his new companion, it was going to be a fun night. "Welllll.....this night is going well," he hadn't known what to expect what to expect when he offered to help her vent.

"You're good, I haven't had fun like this in a while," he made a mental note to spar with her more in the future.

He hadn't expected her kick, so it'd land as she intended, Xing would be thrown off balance, his tail would go to the ground to try to regain his balance.

Yuna gasped out as she saw the opening and moved to capitalize on it. An off balance opponent should have been a easy target, but she definitely forgot that her opponent was more skilled than her in actual battle and fighting and let her guard down. To put it in her coach's words, shes asking to get her face punched in.

"hah looks like I won the Drink!"

Of course Yuna said this preemptively and did not take into account how many things could happen in a fight, she was more than open to many counterattacks at this point. Her hubris blinding her to the point of ignorance and foolishness
