Flashback Impromptu Instruction (Jasper)

[Tourmal Firemane]

Tourmal, Summer 23, 510 AV Normally the green eyed man would not have given up a chance to take advantage of a situation like that. He chalked it up to being inexperienced at wrestling and his embarrassment. “Let's give it another go. I'll keep from doing that again I promise.” As he took his stance he looked the girl once over again wondering to himself how he was so lucky to be wrestling with a young woman as beautiful as she. He gave a few half hearted swipes at her legs to keep her distance. After a while he got tired of doing so and ran straight forward towards Jasper in attempts of tackling her to the ground. Having held back he missed her by what felt like a mile. Her quick agile movements showing her cat like grace. He wasn't sure if he could have caught her had he gone full speed. Though if he had connected at full speed she would be hurt greatly. And one thing he didn't want was to hurt the first girl he had physical contact with since he arrived at Endrykas. Regaining his footing he swung around seeing she was just a half step ahead of him. Her agility was impressive. Though anything would be impressive to him. He had no training and had never done any speed exercises. Though he wouldn't even know what they were at this point. As the two circled each other Tourmal kept his eyes on his opponent not watching his footing. They kept going and as he kept watching her he missed a rock that was right in the way of his foots path. As his foot struck he stumbled, off balance he put all his weight on his right leg. Arms out-stretched he attempted to regain his balance.

OOCSorry this took forever, the first one i typed up didn't go through. I think i didn't submit it properly :S

Realising that unless something happened they'd be circling each other for the rest of the afternoon, Jasper eyed Tourmal carefully, watching his every movement for an opening.

Spotting her chance Jasper sprang forward, arms outstretched. She shoved Tourmals chest with all her might, putting the full force of her body behind it, which meant that when Tourmal tipped backward she went with him. Luckily for her Tourmal copped the brunt of the fall, Jasper landing on top of him. For a moment Jasper paused to make sure that he hadn't hurt himself badly before grabbing at his arms, trying and failing to pin him.

Tourmal, Summer 23, 510 AV As the man tried to regain his balance Jasper sprang forward straight at him. The look in her eyes was serious. She seriously wanted to best the man. When she hit him he fell back in what seemed to be slow motion. He saw her falling too where her look changed from determination to a mix of worry and surprise. As he fell he instinctively wrapped his hands around the young woman trying to protect her. When he hit the ground he let go as the impact knocked the air out of him. As he was stunned the girl hesitated a second assessing what just happened. Then tried to lock Tourmals arms in some manner however them being outstretched made that hard ending in her failure. The woman seemed to be trying to pin him. He rolled from side to side not letting her while at the same time trying to catch his breath. After doing so he thought to himself about how he gave up the last situation he was in. So how was he going to take advantage of this one. The man started turning to his other side this time not forcing it so much faking fatigue, and allowed her to pin him. As the man lay on his back he halfheartedly shifted from one side to the other to keep her from pinning him immediately. As he relaxed just before she had him pinned he looked her straight in the eyes and slipped her a smile. As the girl was right over him eyes locked he leaned in and planted a kiss right on her. Not a second later taking advantage of the element of surprise he shifted all his weight over and rolled on top of her. Placed his hands on her shoulders using the weight of his upper body to pin her. As the man looked at her from above he smiled. “Sorry 'bout that” he said just as before. His smile betrayed him telling her he really wasn't though.

[Jasper Rainsong]

Jasper smiled victoriously as he started to give, redoubling her efforts to pin him. When Tourmal looked up at her, a mischievous glint in his green eyes, Jasper frowned, wondering what he could be up to.

"What are you do--" She was abruptly cut off as Tourmal quickly leaned forward and kissed her, causing her cheeks to instantly inflame. Their places reversed and Jasper looked up at him, speechless, chewing on her lower lip. Her mind buzzed with questions. Why did he do that?

"I guess you win..." She murmured bashfully. At his apology she averted her eyes from him, still shy. Boldening slightly after a few deep, calming breaths she asked, "Why did you do that?"

[Tourmal Firemane]

Tourmal, Summer 23, 510 AV After the man kissed her the look on her face changed. It was then that he remembered their age difference and that her look of victory had been changed with one of innocence. The look scared him. He had not been the type to take that innocence away from them. And that was not a reputation that he wished to gain. As the girl bit her lower lip embarrassed that this man had just kissed her in the middle of a wrestling match. She was probably wondering if he had any romantic interest in her or if he had planned on deflowering the teenage beauty. He did assume she had not been yet. He wished it was not so but the look on her face screamed that it was. She was a virgin. No! the man screamed inside. Petch! What did I do? Her question reminded him that he was still on top of her. So he carefully unmounted her as to not confuse her anymore. “Wow...” the man was speechless. “I really am sorry I just thought... I thought, I guess I just read into the situation a little too much.” The man said as he got up turned away from her. After getting to his feet he extended his hand to her to help her up. When she reached for it the two clasped each others and Tourmal easily lifted her up onto her feet. When she was upright the two locked eyes again their faces inches away from each other. The girls bright eyes shone in the afternoon sun reflecting a few golden flakes in the otherwise stone grey disks. Oh please just kiss me the thought, hoping that the feeling was mutual, thus releasing him from his guilty torment. “I'm sorry If I was too forward. I didn't mean to...” He said looking into her eyes to try and show her he was sincere. Then he closed his eyes for the wait had been to long. She did not mirror his feelings. You shameless scoundrel! He yelled at himself again internally.

[Jasper Rainsong]

Why is he looking at me like that? Tormal looked as though he was about to start pulling his hair out, and Jasper immediately began to feel guilty. She hadn't meant to make him feel bad, or to make him freak out, she had merely be surprised and unsure of how to react.

He looked, guilty, almost fearful. Fearful of what? she wondered, Perhaps he thinks that i'll accuse him of taking advantage of the situation. Jasper listened to his words, almost smiling at how tortured his voice sounded. That alone proved to her that he wasn't some lowlife, that he was decent and really a good guy.

Smirking she decided to put him out of his misery. Walking forward until they were chest to chest she looked up at him, mimicking the playful look he had given her earlier. She leaned up on her toes and kissed him back.

She had no experience, and therefore it was nothing special, simply a soft press of the lips

[Tourmal Firemane]

Tourmal, Summer 23, 510 AV When she looked back at him with a slight grin on her face. He could only expect the worse that she would use the information to blackmail him for something for the rest of his life. He didn't even think about the fact that the information in a few years would likely lose its value. Even had he thought of that he would still be under her control for the rest of the summer. To his utter surprise she kissed him back much the same way he did her. He was confused at first. Then he realized that meant she would not tell anyone anything, and this kiss was her way of telling him that their secret was safe with her. By the time he came to this conclusion she had already released him from her sweet embrace. The kiss was over and most likely would not happen again, ever. Despite that he was elated to know that he would not be killed by her father for encroaching on his daughters innocence. After that it was much easier for the man to speak. “I really am sorry for what I did earlier, I stole something that wasn't mine.” he said turning away from her. “I guess, I have lost respect for what kisses are supposed to be for.” he turned back around and looked at her in the eyes. “They are supposed to be for someone special to you.” He grabbed her hands and held them between the two of them. “And I am really sorry that this old guy in front of you took one without asking you first.” He looked her straight in the eyes. “I guess what I am saying is. Please don't become like me.” After letting go of her hands and taking a few steps back he looked around at where the weapons lay having only been engaged for a few minutes before they started wrestling and few minutes doing that. Not much time had passed until the point had escalated to where it was now. He felt bad for her not getting a full sparring session in. “I don't suppose you would like to spar again.” He said “We have only been out here for less than half a bell.” as he said it he walked to his hammer some steps away and picked it up dusting off the dirt from it. Then he re-holstered it placing it back at his side. “I don't blame you if you don't, but you did ask to spar, and we have spent much more time not sparring than doing so.”

[Jasper Rainsong]

OOCSo short I'm sorry. My computer is like a bajillion years old and hates summer. Sorry

"Well 'old man', you're forgiven. Don't worry about it too much, you're getting more worked up over it than i am!" She punched his shoulder playfully before turning to retrieve her sword, flicking the dust off.

Looking up at Tourmal she grinned, feeling more comfortable and less serious about their play fighting. She was intent on having some fun now, and in her mind the only way to do that was to win.

"Well Old man, i hope you're ready to lose!" She teased before swinging her sword in an arch, stretching her arm.

[Tourmal Firemane]

Tourmal, Summer 23, 510 AV Just like that he was forgiven. Good he thought to himself relieved. She was right after what had transpired she returned to her previous countenance quickly leaving him behind in the dust. Oh well he thought. The girl walked to her sword retrieving it and dusting it off. As she bent over he thought how she would be in a few years hopefully a bit more experienced and maybe the two could have a real go at it then. Here's to the future. When she turned back around with a grin on her face he knew the two would be just fine for the rest of their bout. Well he thought he knew anyways. “Old man huh?” He smiled at her jest. As she swung her sword smoothly in the air he saw only a hint of what was to come. The man readied himself taking a basic defensive posture in wait of what was to come. “I don't plan on losing easily”

[Jasper Rainsong]

"Yes, i hope you like your new nickname," she teased. "you're the one who came up with it after all!" Flexing her muscles she watched as he got into position and grinned, once again rocking forward onto the tips of her toes, elbows out for balance. "Don't worry, i don't plan on being an easy target either." With that she lurched forward quickly and jabbed at his head, aiming to replicate his earlier trick, though with a little more care and with out his strength. She was ready to pull her arm back at any moment, watching carefully to make sure that she didn't actually stab him.
