Esther was skeptical. She was no longer worried about hurting C.T., but if this was supposed to be some kind of competition, how unfair would it be if only one of them was using all of their strength? At least if Esther was sparring against someone else, she would be able to feel confident that they weren't going easy on her--and, more importantly, she wouldn't have too many reservations about hurting them.
"Yeah, but if I win, I won't really have won," Esther said. But goddamn, having C.T.'s face so close to hers and being promised a kiss (well, C.T. was being promised a kiss, technically, but it was mutually beneficial) was doing a lot to change her mind. "What do I get if I win?" she asked, leaning in to meet C.T. halfway, clearly teetering on the border of accepting and refusing.

 "If is the key word there, and don't take me lightly, I'm just saying I won't fight you like the trained assassin I am, I'll just treat it like a street fight, nothing fancy like what I did too Kate." C.T said nodding her head back towards the diner where they had left Kate. Really for C.T going easy on someone meant not killing them, that's what her entire move set really was. Different ways to kill effectively. But she couldn't kill Esther for very obvious reasons. "But honestly, I think I could take you with one arm tied behind my back. I am a professional after all." C.T said jokingly. She'd give Esther credit in saying that she would probably need both hands. She had taught Esther an armbar, and on slip up and her only available arm would be out of commission and in a fight that was bad. C.T was honestly surprised to see that Esther didn't back down, well. Maybe not that surprised. Her girlfriend was very determined, and she hadn't really back down from anything that had happened so far. "If you win?" C.T asked, placing a finger under her chin and humming as she tapped her chin as if really contemplated. "If you win, I will do absolutely, anything that you want me to do."

Esther narrowed her eyes at C.T. "Absolutely anything, huh?" she repeated slowly. Well, this was certainly enticing. As far as Esther saw it, this was a win/win situation--although if she lost, her pride would probably be a bit bruised. But she would take that risk. She wasn't going to pass this competition up. "Alright, let's do it," she said, giving a determined nod. Esther hooked her arm around C.T.'s waist and pulled her in close, then ghosted her lips over her girlfriend's in an almost-kiss. Stepping away again, she grinned and winked. "Just reminding you what you could get--if you win," she joked. Then she shoved her hands in her pockets and began walking forward casually, like nothing happened.
There was a gym just a few blocks over, luckily enough. As soon as they entered, Esther began rolling up the sleeves of her red button-down. This gym also had a ring built, and, seeing as the entire building was pretty quiet, no one was using it. After getting clearance from the guy at the desk (who seemed somewhat skeptical about Esther's place here, but she was trying not to let that get to her), she kicked off her shoes and hopped up into the ring. "I'll let you make the first move," she told C.T.

 "Absolutely anything." C.T echoed with a smile, she knew that would get Esther the girl seemed ready and determined too get this little sparring match on the road. C.T for her part was just glad she managed too please Esther with the concept of fighting her and not someone else. C.T really didn't want to get arrested, that really wouldn't help the relations between humans and her people. Though maybe she had given Esther too much power over her, she almost fell apart when the girl pulled her in for an almost kissed that had C.T developing very mixed feelings for this brand of teasing. On one side, she thought it was very sexy, and wanted too see more of it, but on the flip side, she wanted to grab Esther by the neck and shake her, for leaving her feeling so damn conflicted inside. She'd just have too get over it for now. --- There was a gym a lot closer then she thought, and it was very empty giving them easy access to the ring in the center. This is where C.T had a clear advantage. She took off her leather coat and t shirt, revealing a sports bra underneath - Mag had commented earlier on C.T's boos seeming to have disappeared over night- , she kicked off her shoes and slid her pants off, revealing a pair of shorts. Yea they were a bit shorter than the shorts she usually wore to train, but they granted her a lot of more movement than her jeans. Esther was giving her the first move, and so C.T reached out and grabbed her by the collar, pulling the girl into her in a tight clench.

Well, Esther was beginning to regret her clothing choices. "What the--aw, c'mon," she grumbled, motioning to C.T.'s current state of dress. Well, lack of dress. "Did you leave the warehouse expecting a fight would break out?" Dressed in a button-down and jeans, she was considerably less prepared for this than C.T. apparently was. Well, whatever. There was nothing Esther could do about it now. Under these more restrictive garments were a set of lacy underwear, and those were meant for exactly one set of eyes. None of the men in this place needed to see them. Speaking of the men here, C.T. had definitely caught their attention, and Esther wasn't loving it. She threw one a nasty glare, prompting him to look away hurriedly, before refocusing her full attention on her girlfriend.
C.T. grabbed her collar. Okay, good, Esther could work with this. C.T. had taught her this move, so no doubt she would be expecting it, but Esther was going to try it, anyway. She gripped onto the straps of C.T.'s sports bra and quickly lowered herself to the ground in a sitting position. Placing her feet on C.T.'s stomach, Esther tried to lift the girl up and over her head. If this succeeded, Esther planned on rolling back to her feet and following up by pinning down C.T.'s presumably splayed form. If Esther had had time to actually think in great depth about what she was doing, she would have had her doubts, however, that C.T. was going to let her get away with this. Hopefully the practice she had put into this move would prove beneficial.

  C.T received Esther's counter with a swell of pride, and an approving grin, but that was all she gave Esther. She didn't allow Esther the satisfaction of besting her. Instead she counted Esther's counter, instead of allowing Esther too flip her, she kept her balance using her longer legs too keep her footing, and instead, collapsed on Esther, not flat out, but pinning the girl, trapping the leg Esther had tried too use too flip her in between her own legs, and holding Esther in a half mount. "Uh oh, now you are in trouble" C.T joked cheekily.

Dammit. Yeah, Esther was definitely in a little bit of trouble here. But maybe not as much trouble as C.T. thought. Little did C.T. know that Esther hadn't been practicing just the moves C.T. had shown her, but she had been doing research about ways to complement those moves, as well. Sandy and Elliot, two of the residents at the warehouse (and the people who had kidnapped Esther... but that was in the past now), had been helping her learn more fighting techniques. In particular, Esther had wanted to be familiar with all of the weaknesses of the moves C.T. had taught her and learn how to deal with them. This was, luckily, one of the situations she had prepared for. Not so luckily, she hadn't had a lot of experience with it.
Esther grinned a somewhat strained grin at C.T., then followed through the motions she had been practicing. She pushed on C.T.'s knee, the one near Esther's head, to give herself room and gripped onto C.T.'s leg the best that she could without the availability of fabric there. This allowed Esther to move slightly onto her side and offered her some leverage. Then she hooked C.T.'s leg, the one trapping Esther, with her own leg and lifted that knee into C.T.'s side. A few more moves, all executed simultaneously and pretty quickly, and Esther attempted to flip C.T. over so that their positions were more or less reversed.

  C.T was mildly surprised too see that Esther had picked up some moves, and not just what she had taught her. She wondered who had been training the girl while she hadn't been around, or when she had found the time. Either way, C.T was still impressed, and she allowed Esther too flip her and take mount control, but she didn't give her a chance too go to work. Instead she quickly grabbed Esther by the collar and pulled her down into her, wrapping her up and suffocating any space she thought she had to maneuver. From this position she took the chance too whisper directly into Esther's ear. "Now you have top control, but what are you going to do with it." C.T asked, still grinning. Generally C.T was quiet in a fight, she thought showboating and running at the mouth, was an easy and sure fire way to get yourself hurt, but this felt different somehow. Everything was different with Esther.

Okay, well, Esther had basically just exhausted her skills in this area. It wasn't helping that C.T. was whispering into Esther's ear, causing the girl to shudder and lose focus. Esther chewed on her lip as she tried to decide what to do next. She had no room to move, much thanks to C.T. What could she do? Her options were definitely limited.
It was beginning to look like she had lost this one, but she wasn't going to just give in. Esther pressed her face into C.T.'s neck and sucked on the skin there. The goal was to distract C.T. enough that she would loosen her hold. The moment Esther felt C.T.'s grip on her slacked, Esther would roll away and try to get back onto her feet. But if the n** wasn't enough, Esther supposed she was just going to have to resort to tickling as an alternate distraction tactic, because she wasn't doing great here.

  That was an interesting tactic, C.T had never expected to be kissed during a fight, let alone have Esther attached her lips too her neck and too suck the skin there. C.T actually shivered at the contact, but she held strong, she knew what Esther was trying to do. For good measure, C.T wrapped her legs around Esther's waist, securing her even tighter. "That's a dirty trick Esther." C.T whispered into the girls ear "I don't think you really want to goo down this road, there are people watching."

Dammit. That didn't work. "We're not alone?" Esther breathed nonchalantly, playing cool, a mischievous grin slowly creeping onto her face. "Oh. I guess I forgot." Although she was just flirting to further distract C.T., what she had said wasn't entirely false; oftentimes when Esther was with her girlfriend, she saw no one else, only C.T. Right now, though, all Esther saw was this challenge.
Fine. Grabbing onto C.T., Esther tried to dig her knees into the floor and stand up. But when that didn't go so well, she tried to kneel instead, with slightly more progress. Ouch, this hurt, though. She made it, by the grace of God, and wobbled back into a sitting position. Which quickly turned into her laying flat on her back, with C.T. on top of her, because she just couldn't pick C.T. up from the position she had been in and manage to balance herself. "Alright, alright, you win," she grumbled, sighing. Esther wished they had fought people they didn't know. That way Esther wouldn't have been afraid to beat into her opponent a little bit.

 "No, C.T said with a laugh, shaking her head at Esther. "We are not alone." C.T was glad that Esther took the honorable route and tried to beat her cleanly, though it was a considerably weaker route too take. It seemed whoever was training Esther didn't teach her how to get out of a clench. But even if they did, C.T didn't doubt that she was stronger than Esther in both legs and arms, so it would have been nigh impossible for Esther too break free with just technique alone. Soon Esther struggled, squirmed and gave up position before giving up completely. Somehow she had given C.T top control again without C.T even having too fight her for it. Odd. "Giving up already? Well that's a shame. You've sealed your own fate it seems." C.T said jokingly leaning in on Esther. I think I might change my reward around a bit, nothing was set in stone. I want more than just one kiss."

Esther narrowed her eyes at C.T. "I don't think it works like that," she said. "You can't change your reward when you've already won it. What if it's something I wouldn't have agreed to if I was still in the running?" But who was Esther kidding? She couldn't deny C.T. anything, even if she wasn't thrilled about this situation. Expression relaxing slightly, Esther let out a clearly exaggerrated, exasperated sigh and let her head roll to the side. "Alright, what the new reward, then? How many kisses?"

 "While you may not think it works like that, you have too remember, I have you pinned, and that I won't be letting you go any time soon." C.T said a huge, grin spreading across her face. "If I were to declare that you were to be subjected to a thousand kisses you would just have too accept them my dear." C.T watched Esther seem to give up and deflate beneath her turning her head and looking away. C.T took advantage of that and kissed Esther on her exposed neck. "I don't want kisses. I want you."

Esther blushed and shuddered again. Jesus, when C.T. said things like that, Esther turned into putty. "But there are people watching," she teased, clearly mimicking C.T.'s earlier statement. "Alright, I'll agree to this change in reward. I'm all yours."
