[it's amazing that prompto is caught by surprise by how easily freya moves against his attempted swings to hit her. the jab to his chest, although definitely not as painful as it could be, still hurts, and he's moving back and rubbing at the spot at the same time she does.]

[boy, did he bite more than he could chew]

Okay, okay, learning's good! Any tips in the meantime?

[please don't hit him there again--is what his posture seems to say, hunching awkwardly and his arms over his chest]

[he's a wuss]

[Granted, Freya's advice is not for everyone. She has a very, very aggressive approach to fighting. Best defense is a good offense or something like that. She's the kind of person to win by submission or knock outs, not technical.]

Keep your hands in front of your face. [That comes immediately. She thought she wasn't going to hit him in the face, but if he keeps his guard like that for too long...]

[She starts and approach again, and though it's direct, she's moving laterally, too.]

You've got two hands—use 'em. One swing's easy to block.

[And to demonstrate, she throws a light hook at his ribs, fakes with the other hand, and aims for that first spot again if her fake succeeds in moving his arms.]

[he does as instructed (because he's had no instruction before) and keeps his hands in front of his face, in fists. putting her advice into action is a bit tough, though, considering how fast and relentless freya is.]

[his coordination isn't so great]

[--but, surprising himself, he ends up not only setting up to block her fake towards his rib, but also turn himself to the side to avoid being hit by her again, and pushing her directed punch away with his forearm]

[??????]

[wait, what?]

--huh?

[he looks confused. that seemed learned, not some stupid attempt to defend himself]

[It surprises her, too, but only for a second before her grin widens.]

[Undeterred, Freya checks him with her shoulder to try and break his balance, and the arm that was pushed away immediately circle down and into an uppercut towards his stomach.]

[his surprise is enough to allow freya to break his balance. and as prompto fumbles and stumbles, the hit connects to his stomach.]

[or it would, had his stumbling actually not led him to fall back onto a hand. instinct takes over, and rotation happens in quick succession, to deliver a kick towards freya in a way prompto never envisioned himself being able to have the guts to pull off.]

[and so, if it doesn't connect, he'll be way open for any attack. and if it does connect.... well, holy shit.]

[It's fluid. It's not a standard strike. It's something she never could have guessed he would try, let alone do well.]

[His foot connects right on her jaw as she was moving in, luckily at enough of an angle that it doesn't knock her straight out.]

[Freya staggers back from the unexpected blow and... laughs. When she looks back at him, there's delight on her face.]

Oh, I'm gonna enjoy this. [And here she thought Prompto was a complete wimp!]

[holy shit, did that just happen? he stumbles down, finally, and lands on his butt.]

[he's kind of in a state of shocked awe]

[is she alright?!]

H-hey, Freya, I'm sorry, I dunno how that... Freya?

It was a cute little prank, I'll give you that. [She's in her stance again, and her demeanor's completely different, like all her chill just evaporated. All that's left is excitement.]

Come on, back on your feet! [And she's moving at him, and quickly. And Prompto better get off the ground, because submission holds are suddenly on the move list again.]

[he scrambles up to his feet pretty quickly when he sees her moving towards him. he definitely does not want to suffer through the no-chill that freya is going to bring down on him]

It wasn't a prank!

[he's decidedly not going to try and hit her or anything, just straight up avoiding her altogether as best as he can]

I really have no idea where that came from!

[Which is either an excellent idea or a poor one, depending on how he does; Freya just aggresses now, throwing a bit of everything at him, trying to close that gap.]

Like I'm falling for that again.

[prompto manages to (somehow) move out of the way, turning to his side and swerving, and even hitting the floor at one point, only to roll to the side as freya's foot makes for a quick connection to the floor after she had attempted to kick him]

You're going all out?!

[back to his feet, he keeps his hands raised and over his face]

Freya, come on. Do I look like the scheming type?

[He's squirrelly, at least. It suits him.]

This ain't even close. I'd be out to hurt you, if I were.

[She starts incorporating more feints, trying to get him to dodge in the wrong direction.]

I mean, you keep Dante as company.

Okay, fair enough, but Dante's not that bad!

[he knows it's bullshit the second it comes out of his mouth. the feints work, too, because prompto's "squirreling" around is becoming more and more confused, as if he's having a hard time keeping up.]

[he really doesn't want to get punched in the face]

[but it's exactly what happens]

[prompto gets stunned by the punch to his face--her punch barely touches his chin, but it's enough to stun him on the spot]

Wuoh...

[Eh. She wasn't really aiming for the face, but she'll take the opening it provides. She steps in close, hooking and arm under his and twists in a hip throw.]

[It's after the throw she steps back, propping her hands on her hips.] You've got to be one hell of a faithful guy to let those words outta your mouth.

[he's on the mats, trying to remember what is up and what is down, after the throw. he looks up at her with wide eyes and feeling out of his league here.]

[okay, maybe if he doesn't move or attempt to run she'll be nice on him?]

Well, yeah?! He's like a brother to me!

[he clearly doesn't know the shit dante does]
