You did well.

[ he's exhausted only because he didn't get enough sleep the night before. ]

I guess that's better than "you sucked terribly". [weak laugh ]

Thank you for that. It's been eye-opening. And painful.

[ he's now sitting on his bed and trying to get his boots off ]

[ he sits down next to you & looks you over ]

You do not seem to have pulled any muscles, at least.

[ tugging off his jacket to take a look at the sore spots and stretching his muscles a bit ]

Other than where I got hit and general "these are not muscles you usually use!" protests, nothing feels out of place.

At least I did not have to hit you over the head.

I thank you for that. [ laughs ]

But I guess I didn't do so bad for someone who's never had any training, right?

That is why I said you did well. Your reflexes are sharp.

Being an Yi Neng user will do that. You have to be able to shield attacks and such and get a one-up on whomever you're fighting in a spell battle.

Then it is a good thing you are learning how to do so without the use of Yi Neng.

This may even end up being easier to figure out. People don't generally give off physical cues as to what they're attack is going to be until they call it.

Perhaps.

[ . . . but he's feeling sleepy right now ]

Ah, well, I'll learn sooner or later. I guess there's no real rush on it.

[ is also quite sleepy ]

[ training someone intensively while you've had almost no sleep kind of does that to you. so he's kind of just kind of trying to gather his thoughts but his eyes keep blinking shut ]

[ training intensively when the most you've ever had to do basically involved weights and basic footwork also does that to you. but he's trying valiantly not to yawn ]

I should . . . [ oh god is that a yawn ]

Probably a good idea to -- [ you caused a yawn ripple effect damn you ]

[ too tired. too damn tired.

he sways a bit & kind of just leans against you without realizing it ]

[ is also exhausted so he doesn't really notice or care. except when he sways too and kind of flops backwards ]

[ you flopping backwards causes him to fall basically on top of you. but he's out cold. this is what happens after a week of axe-crazy, lack of sleep & training too hard ]

[ he's only sort of half awake but too tired to even bother trying to shove you off because hey at least you're toasty warm and you're not poking any of the achy bits ]

[ sorry, but there's almost no fat on him. he's mostly toned muscle & long limbs. limbs that are on you right now ]

[ he still has a little bit of baby fat but for the most part it is muscle. he's attempting to wiggle a little bit so at least his feet are on the bed ]

zzzz

[ while you do that, he's curling up even closer to you ]

[ he's okay with this or is just too sleepy to care and is maaaybe kind of snuggling against ]

[ he will feel horribly embarrassed when he wakes up, but he's wrapping his arms around you ]
