Over his shoulder, Leeroi looked back at Hemera. "Always," He said, flexing an arm and winking back. It was a fine answer to both questions. Skimming the class rosters, he found an appropriate task to complete his strength training.
"Ready to grapple?" Leeroi asked, a fiendish expression in his glance. He put his hands on his hips and stood to his full height, waiting for Hemera's response. "No weapons, no icy bullshit, though." That part was kind of lame, but he knew it wouldn't dissuade him.
"Come on," Leeroi took hold of Hemera's wrist and started moving to the grappling room. "It'll be fun!" He laughed, tugging her along and not bothering to look back.

"If the protein bowls have vegetarian options...I'll consider it."
Well. He had enthusiasm going for him, if nothing else. But she really...really didn't want to do this... If there weren't any other classes to try instead, then the training had been utterly pointless. A lot of it looked like pin holds. She didn't like it, but learning how to physically detaining people was more savory than, say, boxing. And it was their turn for the ring. Now she really couldn't leave.
But it still sucked.
On top of it, Leeroi was still missing everything she was trying to say to him. She fought so hard with her stupid emotions just for him to not get it. Frustrating!
Hemera flared her nostrils, sucked it up, and rammed into Leeroi as the match commenced, headbutting Leeroi's midsection. In that moment, she realized that she really, really had no idea what she was doing.

Hemera immediately knocked the wind out of him. He stumbled backwards, trying to recompose himself and breath normally. A headbutt? He couldn't help but think of his lusus. Of course, he'd also stolen that move from her, but he really didn't want to be thinking of his stranger goat mother in this situation.
"That's not-" He took a breath. "That's not grappling at all." He emphasized, standing back into his defensive posture. "It's like wrestling, Hemera. You have wrestled before, haven't you?" Leeroi said, with a confused expression. He supposed he had to demonstrate.
In a quick move, Leeroi leapt forward, hooking an arm under her leg, then grabbing and pushing forward on her shoulder. He hoped the momentum would push them both down onto the mat.

HP: 19/20 Only 19 but my mind is older DMG: 6
Oof! She went down, face burning a little more at Leeroi's candid comment. Wrestling... Wrestling... Mera hated those ads, finding them stupid and glorifying unnecessary violence. And yet. Here she was. She would have to remember those clips. Mera dug through the limited memories. At least ads had repetition to them; throwing people down (no) jumping off the side of the ring (no!) pinning.
Ah.
Hemera, muscles still burning, shoved Leeroi back as hard as she could despite the pain, angled it to roll him over, and rolled on top with her own pin, trying to hold him to the ground as she did so. A poor attempt at mimicry, but she was...trying. And she was up close. Hm.
Already caught up in terrible decisions, no out, and no idea how to use her words, she went for broke. Mera went in for a kiss.
Upon breaking it off, she sat back a little victoriously, wiping her brow. "How am I doing with those weak points, coach?"

She caught the blush, even as her back hit the mat again. Mera winced, but the pain lessened with the look on Leeroi's face. Got 'im. After the false starts, the embarrassment in dealing with her s**t... Maybe she was finally? Getting something across?
He didn't just get up and leave, so.
"And I'm sure you'll be all too happy to show me how to do it right," she stated. "If you're not too flustered, that is. But that is a pretty good look on you, Furore." Not that her face was much better. Even so, Mera tried to push back, not just going to let Leeroi stay on top of her, but found no give this time. She was...admittedly getting pretty sore.
"I do request that you don't crush me during all this, by the way."

Hemera shivered at Leeroi's voice. That level of intimidating he rarely hit, that she realized that she kind of really liked. Well, it pissed her off, but it was also different from that. Complicated feelings. Feelings she had been struggling with more and more as she had to think about them. A frustrating, violent boy. Horrible how her tastes apparently turned out to be. But maybe that's the clear sign that it was black. Hm.
Back to the present: Leeroi talking low and intimidatingly was attractive, but she was still getting tired of being stuck under him. She wasn't going to give up now, especially after he literally dragged her into this!
"You...wish..." she growled, wiggling and pushing until finally, some give. She headbutted in again, then held it, using the momentum to force Leeroi up. She wrapped her arms around his body, slowly, slowly made her way to her feet even though she knew Leeroi outweighed her.
There was no way in hell she could completely lift him above her head, but she managed enough to get up and toss him back down, though she wobbled a little after. Hemera needed to hydrate, and soon.
In the meantime, she wiped the side of her mouth, looking down at him as she panted. She arched a pointed brow.
"Am I finally becoming the underdog you were hoping for?"
