private 1x1 with Unicorncob (rp)

[Unicorncob 5,687]

Oliver followed Jenna inside, looking around at the empty warehouse. Plenty of space, so he didn't worry too much about breaking anything.

"I think so," he said. "I remember watching what you did."

[Catpone Cerberus 23,599]

"But what about what I made you do?" she meant the few things she had showed Oliver and asked him to repeat "Because I'd like you to show me what you remember." "And remember, don't hold back, you can't hurt me yet." 

[Unicorncob 5,687]

Oliver blinked. He wasn't expecting to start sparring right away, but he felt better knowing her couldn't hurt Jenna.

He nodded and put up his fists, taking a deep breath. "Alright, I'm ready when you are."

[Catpone Cerberus 23,599]

Jenna took of her jacket "I'm ready." she smiled, and though unnecessary for her, she took a defensive pose, figuring it would help Oliver to give a bit more force to his attacks to see she was prepared. 

[Unicorncob 5,687]

Oliver nodded and took another deep breath. He clenched his fists tight and waited for Jenna to get into her defensive position.

Once he was sure she was ready, he threw a punch toward her, arcing instead of straight ahead.

[Catpone Cerberus 23,599]

Jenna simply dodged, feeling that grabbing Oliver's hand at this point could be seen a bit humiliating, and after it she did a 'counter attack', which was basically just she gently poking him. She then asked him to continue 'attacking'.  

[Unicorncob 5,687]

Oliver flushed red as Jenna just poked at him. That was definitely a bit embarrassing. He'd need to do better than that.

He threw another punch at her, faster and with some more weight put into it.

[Catpone Cerberus 23,599]

Jenna both blocked and dodged, Oliver's punch ending up pretty much sliding along Jenna's hand before hitting the nothingness of air again, she then did an counter attack, again, this time keeping her hand in a fist due to Oliver's previous reaction, but since she didn't want to actually hurt him, she stopped her fist just before it hit.

[Unicorncob 5,687]

Oliver flinched as Jenna brought her fist toward him, but noticed that she'd stopped just as she touched his shirt. He blinked and took a step back.

"You don't have to hold back on me either," he assured her. "I can take it."

[Catpone Cerberus 23,599]

"Maybe you can, but I don't want to hurt you." Jenna said "And unlike me, you aren't yet skilled enough to avoid me yourself." "The only reason why I do any type of counter attack is in name of practice after all."  

[Unicorncob 5,687]

Oliver shrugged. "Yeah, I guess that makes sense." He still felt a little embarrassed that Jenna was holding back on him just because he couldn't avoid the hits.

He lit up as he got an idea. "You can teach me to avoid them then!"

[Catpone Cerberus 23,599]

"That was going to be the next thing." Jenna then explained how Oliver should change his attacks so that they wouldn't be as easy to avoid as they now where, and then she told him to not let his guard down after the attack, and how he should try to avoid her counter attacks. This of course wouldn't succeed at first try, maybe not even second or third, but that didn't matter, since it was practice, and between each try, Jenna would explain more how to do things better.

[Unicorncob 5,687]

Oliver nodded and listened closely to Jenna's instructions. They were easy enough to understand, but difficult to put into practice. He was either too slow or moved in the wrong direction.

But slowly, he was showing signs of improvement in his movements.

[Catpone Cerberus 23,599]

Because she was observing Oliver the whole time to find things he could do better, Jenna noticed he was clearly getting better, he of course wasn't perfect, and he wouldn't become a master in one day, but he was improving, and that was what was important. After a while of practicing, she asked "How are you holding up? Do you want to continue, or do you need a break?" "And yes, I'm okay with either one, it's your choice." she then quickly added with a smile, she personally wasn't tired, since she didn't really need to use that much energy due Oliver still being a total beginner, but she didn't want to make Oliver feel like he had to continue until both of them were drained.

[Unicorncob 5,687]

Oliver wasn't used to throwing so many punches, especially in such short time, so his arms were definitely aching. But he didn't want to let Jenny down.

"I can keep going," he assured her, managing a smile.

[Catpone Cerberus 23,599]

"Are you sure? you don't need to prove anything, this is your second time ever after all, and we didn't really do that much with the first time." "Aright then, Just tell me when you get tired, no point in fully draining yourself" she then got to the position so that they could continue. 

[Unicorncob 5,687]

"Don't worry," Oliver assured her, still grinning despite his tired arms, "I can take it. We can keep going."

He tried his best to keep throwing punches, and tried to move his arms to block any of Jenna's blows.

[Catpone Cerberus 23,599]

Jenna kept doing her thing, giving hints between every try, and this would continue until Oliver either got tired, managed to land a hit, or got hang of blocking and/or dodging the counter attacks. She enjoyed this, but it wasn't because anything relating to her, no, she enjoyed seeing Oliver improve, it felt nice to feel proud of him. 

[Unicorncob 5,687]

Oliver kept listening and kept trying to punch and block. It was slow, but the information was sinking in and he was trying to adapt what he was doing to what Jenna was telling him.

He was sore and getting tired, but he was definitely having fun. And it felt good to see Jenna seemed to be enjoying it too.

[Catpone Cerberus 23,599]

Jenna could tell Oliver was getting tired, because even if he himself didn't necessarily notice, his movements were getting slower "Okay, now you can't tell me you're not tired." she said with a smile "You have made good progress, but maybe we should at least take a break, because I don't want you spending all your energy at once."  She put her hand on his shoulder "I'm proud of you." she then without thinking gave him a quick kiss, after which she turned away and blushed when realizing it, she didn't know why it still felt so weird to do, they had already had two long kisses after all, it just did.  

[Unicorncob 5,687]

Oliver nodded, panting and rubbing his aching arms. He blushed as Jenna put her hand on his shoulder, and went bright red from the kiss.

He couldn't speak, just stammering and spluttering. He didn't expect a kiss out of nowhere.

[Catpone Cerberus 23,599]

Jenna only blushed more when she heard Oliver's reaction, again not really knowing the reason why, and stayed quiet for a moment before turning back towards Oliver, still slightly red, chuckling "My apologizes, I forgot how cute your reactions were."

[Unicorncob 5,687]

Oliver blushed even harder upon hearing Jenna's excuse. He certainly didn't hate it, since he was happy that she accepted him so much, but he still wasn't used to such affection.

"I guess 'cute' doesn't really work when learning how to fight, huh?" he joked.

[Catpone Cerberus 23,599]

"I wouldn't say that." Jenna replied with a humorous grin "A kitten is adorable even if it's trying its hardest to kill you." "But if being a bit more serious, cuteness can have its advantages in a fight" her tone wasn't any more serious, even though she meant what she said.

[Unicorncob 5,687]

Oliver flushed even redder from being compared to a kitten. Any other wolf may have considered such words an insult, but he knew Jenna meant well.

He looked up at her again, curious. "Really? How?"
