anyway yes, predictably, he looks like shit. it hasn't been so long since the announcement that he's had time to fall into physical disrepair; just anger, despair. that sort of thing. ]
Whatever's quickest. [ to learn, to execute properly, whatever. ] Just show me.
Learning how to wield a weapon's gonna take too long. You're just gonna have to settle for hand-to-hand, and making do with whatever's the nearest thing you've got then.
[ He'd teach Haru how to shoot, honestly, but like. Gun scarcity. ]
[ the gun scarcity is real. he's just going to end up with a healing glock. ]
...I can try.
[ and he will? he'll try to throw a punch. but he does move almost like an artist masquerading as a jock: good form, weird amount of grace, not much speed or power.
he's not really expecting to land one on wolfwood, anyway. ]
[ He will in fact, intercept it with a free hand, calloused fingers wrapping around Haru's fist loosely. He's judging, but like. Appropriately judging (not derogatory). ]
You watch people fight a lot or something? The form's not bad.
Lookin' pretty isn't gonna help you though. Real fighting is dirty business, and comes from within.
[ he shakes off his hand, brow furrowed faintly. ]
From within? [ unlike his usual, blase existence, he does have something to tap into today. so that's something. but— ] ...I don't know. Or— [ ... ] You're not the person I want to hurt right now.
[ it's hard to strike at wolfwood like he means it. ]
[ okay. yes. he's too full of feelings right now to do anything but fall for this aggro posturing, and swings again—it does kind of work, because he goes to hit him harder, though his form predictably falls apart. ]
[ That's fine, this time it hits -- don't think too much about whether this was purposeful or not. Wolfwood makes a slight grunt and a face, but smacks Haru's hand off. ]
Better. Remember that -- hesitation is going to cost you.
It doesn't have to be angry, it can be any conviction. If you really wanna learn how to do this though, I'm not gonna go easy on you, 'cause that's not how I learned it, so you gotta be prepared to give everything back.
[ he unfolds his hand, shaking off the little sting of impact. he doesn't like it at all; there's already clear discomfort in how quickly he withdraws. he's never hit anyone before. he's a docile swim teen.
but he nods slowly. ]
I didn't ask you to pull punches. I know what it takes to get stronger. [ classic athlete slogan: no pain no gain. ] I won't complain. Ever. Just help me.
Wolfwood isn't against Haru complaining exactly. In fact, if it ever is too much, he'd rather the teen just say so and bow out. But he'll let Haru be the one who makes that decision. ]
Alright. Then you'll get it.
[ For him, and for Ylfa too. IT'S TIME TO HIT THE BM GYM HARU!! He's going to get thrown around a lot and a lot of bruises. ]
