Thread: Rekindle the Flame (Razgriz x Umbrale)

Scott just laughed as she mentioned that old stigma about lawyers there was some truth to it. Some lawyers were fairly dirty in how they handled cases, going so far as to even exploiting their clients to get even more money just for the 'privilege' of having them represent them. And more still played fast and loose with established precedent, allowing companies to not literally, but in some cases extremely close get away with murder. Even if others would have found it rude, he had a good feeling she was just being jovial in her own way. And when she agreed to his idea of sparring, he would be lying if he said he wasn't nervous. An Ogre's strength was nothing to sneeze at even the most macho of human men couldn't hold a candle to the sheer physicality of one. But Scott had a feeling Elise was capable of holding back...Not like he could do anything to her anyway. If anything, he would need to hold back so he didn't break his hand or something. Rumor had it that Ogres, much like their cousins the Oni, had skin like iron, and various displays he'd seen had certainly attested to the toughness of their flesh. Even so, he knew that this wasn't a serious competition...At least, not from his perspective. She would most likely see him as a virtual non-threat, but that was fine it would be good to have someone to practice with. And even with the amount of muscle she had, Scott had to admit she was quite beautiful in her own right. Even as she stretched he could see that every movement was calculated, not a bit of effort wasted...And admittedly he might have been staring too long, because he had to kind of shake himself free of the slight trance. Doing his own stretches - showing impressive flexibility for one who supposedly sat at a desk ninety-five percent of the time - she would see that while he was no Olympian by any standards, he definitely took care of himself. His body rippled with lean muscle, helping to the fact that he tried to do at least something to keep himself moving. His bare feet - shoes stored in the appropriate cubbyhole for such - padded on the blue mats as he would face his opponent, giving her a respectful bow before taking up his own stance. I might stick with just Judo...But feel free to use whatever you like after all, this is a sparring match right? I want us to both give it our all. he playfully challenged probably not the wisest idea from a human standpoint to challenge an Ogre. But one fatal error many before him had made was insulting their pride, however slight it might be, even if it was something as simple as 'Don't hurt me, I'm a squishy human'. And it was here that the match began sure enough, despite her size, he found her to be quick. Even the glancing blows stung a bit, and much as the rumors stated She had a hard body, and his knuckles and forelimbs were already starting to hurt from the few kicks and blocks he had done. However, his moment would come when she tried to rush him pivoting hard right, he would grab her arm and go for the classic hip throw...Only to find she hadn't budged when he actually went through the motion.... And it was at that moment Scott knew He fucked up.
