Can't Stand It.
He'd talked to the people he was supposed to register with. He gotten some rest, food, and permission to to go down in the infamous danger-room for a workout. Simplified setting, of course; he'd promised. Just cutting the hell out of practice dummies, essentially.

It was good to get his knives in his hands again. He just wished he was facing some gun-runner in Jalisco instead of a teaching-toy.

	With Joey still missing, Rose was one barely contained ball of fury. Meditation had taken her far and covered a lot, but cutting things to pieces also had its way of being therapeutic. She was surprised to find that the Danger Room was occupied. Not something she recognized, but what the hey. "Mind if I join ya?" she asked. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Whoa. Hot chick incoming. "Not at all. You want in on this, or you want something a little more human?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Rose smiled one of those crazy, half-feral Logan smiles. "I could go for somethin' that takes a bit more cuttin'." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Esteban sheathed the knife he was holding in his left hand to display the back of it, criss-crossed with scars, before pressing it to his chest with a half-bow. "Sounds like a job for me. Esteban Richter, at your service." The 'formality' is a contrast with the reasonably strong Central Guadalajara accent, but it's fairly amusing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Well now, she had a real scrapper on her hands. This, she would deal with. She returned the bow, placing her hands together. "Rose Logan, at yers." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He perks up at her last name. "Chinga, I'm going to get my ass kicked!" Despite the swearing and fatalistic sentiment, he doesn't seem bothered by this at all, smiling. "Any ground rules?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wild_rose 2011-08-05 12:01 am UTC (link)
	Rose smirked. "I'll try not to hurt ya too bad, and I won't go kickin' ya in the goods. You, on the other hand, can feel free ta dish out whatever ya got." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	badforbusiness 2011-08-05 12:13 am UTC (link)
	"Awesome." He redraws the knives, drops to a crouch, and strikes for her knees. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wild_rose 2011-08-05 12:22 am UTC (link)
	Aiming to disable right off the bat, Rose likes that. Shows a guy really knows how to fight. She manages to dodge that shot, striking out with an open palmed shot of her own. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	badforbusiness 2011-08-05 12:30 am UTC (link)
	There's a sharp little exclamation in something that isn't English or Spanish as rolls to avoid and comes at her more from the side. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wild_rose 2011-08-05 05:54 pm UTC (link)
	She doesn't recognize the language, wonders if she should. Even though she doesn't speak that many, she can recognize most. The blow strikes her in the side and the cries out, but bites down on the pain, lobbing a kick at his head. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	badforbusiness 2011-08-05 08:12 pm UTC (link)
	He manages to move with it enough that the kick only grazes, as it were, the side of his face. That'll be met with some nice, recognizable Spanish cursing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Okay, now that one, I understood," Rose says with a grin. She presses her attack with a barrage of punches. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	badforbusiness 2011-08-05 09:31 pm UTC (link)
	Esteban does his best to block a few of the punches with his right arm, but it's not the best job ever, because he's only using one arm leaning more into the barrage as he does it. In order to stab her in the foot with his left hand. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wild_rose 2011-08-06 01:02 am UTC (link)
	Rose was a little slow and the blade sunk into her foot. She let out a growl of pain and, reflexively, popped her claws. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	badforbusiness 2011-08-06 01:04 am UTC (link)
	The bruises are already starting to show on Esteban as he tries to get back upon the arrival of the claws. "Chinga, here come the big guns." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wild_rose 2011-08-06 01:54 am UTC (link)
	Rose pulled the knife free from her foot, favoring her other only slightly as the wound already began to heal. Her eyes gleam. "Yer gonna get it now, bucko..." She lets out a growl and leaps toward him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	badforbusiness 2011-08-06 01:58 am UTC (link)
	By this point, Esteban knows there's no way he can avoid her, so as she knocks him down, he settles for doing his best to grab her wrists to keep the claws themselves off of him, and trying to grapple until their positioning is more at his advantage. And worry later how badly he just hit his tailbone going down. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wild_rose 2011-08-06 02:06 am UTC (link)
	Good reflexes, Rose thinks. He catches her wrists, but she tries to force her claws down toward his face. No stabbing intended... but just to show she can. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	badforbusiness 2011-08-06 02:18 am UTC (link)
	Esteban struggles a bit longer. "So I've got this Uncle, see, who's the best fighter in Jalisco," his voice is strained with effort at keeping her hands up, but he tries to act casual. "Never going to be as good as him, but..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wild_rose 2011-08-06 11:49 pm UTC (link)
	And Rose, at least, has the leverage to talk while she holds him down. "Oh yeah? Anybody I know?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	badforbusiness 2011-08-06 11:52 pm UTC (link)
	"You might. Misha did. Shatterstar," he continues, voice still strained, struggling to roll them both to the left. "Thing is, there's one thing I'm better at than he is." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wild_rose 2011-08-07 12:04 am UTC (link)
	Ooomph! Unexpected roll is unexpected! "Oh yeah?" Rose asked, as she tried to get her leverage back. "What's that?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	badforbusiness 2011-08-07 12:06 am UTC (link)
	The grappling -- it continues. "Noticing when the opponent is gorgeous. You single?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wild_rose 2011-08-07 12:21 am UTC (link)
	Suddenly taken aback by the question, Rose's iron grip slackens, grows weak. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	badforbusiness 2011-08-07 12:27 am UTC (link)
	And Esteban succeeds in rolling on top, gathering her wrists, and pinning them claws and all for a moment. "Too forward?" he asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wild_rose 2011-08-07 01:02 am UTC (link)
	"Get yer hand off me, bucko," Rose growled, shoving. "I'm through with this." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	badforbusiness 2011-08-07 01:08 am UTC (link)
	Esteban jumps up and away from her, finally looking concerned under all the increasingly-livid bruises. "I'm sorry! I was just joking around; didn't mean to be offensive." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	wild_rose 2011-08-07 01:20 am UTC (link)
	She fixes him with a long stare. "Ain't yer fault... but ain't nothin' I'm gonna talk about with someone I just met either." She pauses as she heads out the door. "Yer a good scrapper, though. Any other time... well, maybe some other time I can kick yet keister some more." And she's gone. (Reply to this)(Parent)
