yinsukin:
Roman

Roman's body slammed into the ground, two hands catching himself on the fall.  His head twisted around, looking up at the man standing above him.  Damn it.  Its the same as before.  Getting to his feet, he threw another punch.

"Goddamn it," he said, throwing another clumsy punch at his face.  At this point he wasn't thinking, just attacking mindlessly.

YOLF:
Yusho

He leaned back, then flicked his head out of the way, and with a silent draw of breath, buried a fist in Roman's gut. The younger man was forced back, but not allowed to fall down. Yusho's hand caught his shoulder.

"Stop. Think," he said.

yinsukin:
Roman

Roman fell on all fours, struggling to catch his breath.  It felt like the pain from the punch was squeezing his lunges, blocking part of his breath.  Rarely in his life had he ever really thought about the necessity of breathing, nor how nice it was to be able to do it well until this moment.

"Think about what?" he said, his legs shaking as he stood.  Strange, he didn't get hit in his legs right?  Was this just the fatigue from the punch?

YOLF:
Yusho

"What are you doing wrong? If you're strong now, then why aren't you hitting me? You think you can be the superior of anyone that matters like this?" His one-eyed glare weighed Roman down, and his hand squeezed on the young man's shoulder. "What do you want to accomplish by fighting me? What am I trying to show you?"

yinsukin:
Roman

"Your not making sense," he said, raising his arms into a imitation boxing stance.  Although it looked more like a hollywood martial artist stance.  "Aren't you just stronger than me?"

It stung, saying that after he had taken the deal with Valarie.  To think that after taking a deal like that he still wasn't strong enough yet.  Well, it was alright.  Truth be told, he knew from the start this wouldn't be so easy.  What was Yusho talking about?  Is this lesson something that could increase his efficiency at progress?  The most efficient path, that's the one he wanted.
