Emi knew it had to hurt but she knew how guys didn't like others to know these things. Emi felt herself start to fall. Time to live up to being the cat like person, Emi thought. Using cat like reflexes she land on her feet but slipped slightly. Immediately she knew she had given both guys a opening to hit her. "Well whop-de-do, I hate myself right now," she said out loud.

The boy frowned and glanced at Lysander than at Emi. Well, if he had to hit her so they could eat... He watched as she slipped a bit and jumped forward, hoping to hit her while she was still offguard and possibly knock her over. She was offbalanced already... that was good, right? He put more force into his punch than the last time, though he wasn't going to be breaking any bones with it yet...

Emi felt the impact of Riordan's punch. It definitely had more power than the first one. She ended up falling backwards. "Great, maybe we'll be able to eat soon," she said. There was a smile plastered on her face. Not a smirk but an actual smile.

Lysander was pleasantly surprised to find Emi's reflexes so well trained. She'd managed not to land flat on her face. Lysander didn't fight often, so if he had been in her position, that's where he would have ended up. What he paid most attention to was physical strength and speed. His agility and balance were poor. Even having given both boys an opening to hit, Emi had already set the requirements for the end. She said they had to hit her five times. Riordan specifically had to hit her twice. Lysander himself had already done three.
When Riordan made impact for the first time, Lysander's instinct had been to raise his hand for a high-five. To be completely honest, he hadn't expected the younger boy would hit. He didn't seem to be too keen on hitting girls. The first failed attempt gave evidence to as much. The fact that he had put enough force in it to knock her down was disheartening, though. Lysander had tried his best to be as gentle as possible given the situation. Still, it was a feat against such an experienced recruit. Instead of the high five, he merely gave an encouraging 'huzzah'. The fact that Emi was smiling told that it hadn't hurt much anyway. It satisfied him.

"Okay Riordan, only one more hit till we get to eat." Emi was now only realizing how hungry she had gotten from fighting the two guys. Still she knew that Riordan was going to have a harder time because Lysander had gotten in his three hits. Quickly she got back on her feet. Pain shot up through her left leg causing her to wince. She looked down and saw that it was red and a bit of blood was on it. Not wanting either boys to notice that she was hurt, she turned to Lysander and said, "You know, just because you got in your hits doesn't mean you can stop fighting me. Work with him so we can go eat faster." And so I can get my leg bandaged, she thought.

Lysander watched Emi as she stood up and, being the p***s-brained person that he was, had used the cliched line of sight from the bottom up. She was injured, minorly, he thought. At first, he felt guilty. There was a good chance that he had done that himself. But a bit of self-righteousness stepped into play when he realized that there was also the chance that it had happened as a result of Riordan knocking her down. He couldn't say for sure who had done it, so for the moment, he just assumed that regardless of who had caused it, it had been unintentional.
"Every good girl has her damsel in distress moment," Lysander said, not as a reply to what she'd said (which, admittedly, he'd paid no attention to), but as an off -hand remark about her injured leg. Either way, having reluctantly finished his requirements, he was done with it. Lysander hadn't wanted to raise arms against a girl in the first place. Instead of trying to help Riordan -which would be ridiculous at this point considering his opponent was both injured and female- he stood off to the side and watched. He wasn't all that hungry anyway.

Emi started to get mad at Lysander's comment, but knowing that it would be stupid to lose her head at that point in the fight she calmed herself down. "I freaking hate being called a damsel in distress," Emi muttered to herself. She was not all to happy that Lysander had noticed her leg. She tried to put weight on her leg and found that she could but not for long. She decided that she would let Riordan come at her instead of the other way around. She was not going to ruin her leg anymore then she already had.

Riordan watched Emi get back up, still feeling a bit bad about having to hit her. But... she'd wanted it. And he was definitely getting hungry. He glanced over and noticed that Lysander had stepped off to the side. Great... he had to finish this on his own...
With a resigned sigh, he brought his hands up and stepped towards Emi, jabbing with a fist. He was hoping that would hit and they could eat. But just in case she blocked it, he immediately followed up with a jab with his other hand.

Emi saw both hits come for her. She blocked the first punch but when she tried to dodge the second was felt the pain shot through her like lightning. The jab from Riordan hit her sending her down on her hurt leg. She bit down on her lip to keep from yelling in pain. Even if she stopped the scream she couldn't keep the tears from forming at her eyes. The wound she had earned earlier shouldn't have hurt that much. Emi looked down to see that there was more blood and the cut had opened up more. "Ouch. That's gonna hurt for a while," she said.

Lysander ended his time as a spectator and walked toward the commotion. He congratulated Riordan on his hit and then turned to Emi with a disgusted look. True, he admired her courage and abilities, but she was showing a great deal of bad judgement in regards to how to go about things. Experience? Sure, she had plenty as a Recruit, but apparently that wasn't enought to have her learn something incredibly obvious. A wolfrider in training shouldn't risk something like that. To fight while injured wouldn't be tolerated in the field, he was sure. What use was an injured wolfrider against a giant centipede? Not a whole hell of a lot.
Lysander offered her his hand to help her up. He would take her to the infirmary later if she'd let him. Riordan may have been more hesitant to fight, but that could be good or bad depending on the situation. In this one, for instance, it was good. A little more enthusiasm might have gotten Emi a worse injury than what she had. He respected Emi's abilities, but his opinion of her intelligence was slowly deteriorating. Smart or not, she was still female. He wouldn't let her know what exactly that meant for her until later on, though.

Emi saw the disgusted look on Lysander's face and it hurt her. She knew that fighting when injured was stupid but she couldn't help it. That's how she grew up. Besides, the injury hadn't seemed that bad at first. She took Lysander's hand but wouldn't look him in the eyes. She tried her best to keep the hurt and stupidity off her face and only in her eyes. She was sure that she didn't do so well on this.

Lysander took this opprotunity to turn on the charm. "Now, Miss, are you able to walk or should I carry you to lunch?" It's what they'd been babbling about the entire time. 'Do this and you'll be able to eat. Blah blah blah.' It seemed only natural that that's where she'd be going now that it was all over. But, to save himself from possible embarassment, he added, "Or are you planning on getting this-" Lysander pointed at her leg. "-looked at?"
It didn't matter to him where they went. He wasn't particularly hungry and the chance to get in good with the damsel in distress was always the objective of the hero. Carrying her a few meters was hardly a big price for that much. Aside from being charming, he assumed it would be a nice work out as well. She didn't look like she weighed much, but his arms had gotten tired even when carrying his two-year-old little brother. Of course, all of it depended on Emi's reaction, but it was logical not to want to cause oneself any more pain.

Emi still wouldn't look Lysander in the eyes as she answered him. "I think I'm gonna go fix my leg up." She started to walk away but her leg was giving her problems. "Yo, could one of you two help me? And no, I don't mean by picking me up and caring me. Just help support my weight so I can get around. Please," Emi asked. If he wasn't going to help her then she would just have to get by on her own. This was her fault so she was willing to pay the price if needed. Still her leg hurt and she didn't want to make it worse. She really hoped that Lysander or Riordan would help, wouldn't blame them if they didn't, but still hoped.

"Awwww. Where's the fun in that?" Lysander pouted, hunching down so that he would be level with her face. She would have to look at him. "Why deny yourself the fantasy of being carried bridal-style by a mysterious and handsome gentleman suitor?" He wiggled his eyebrows suggestively. "I might even be the good looking guy to fulfill that dream." He stretched out his hand and winked. "Fate has offered you an opprotunity. I wouldn't let it go to waste if I were you."
Okay, so maybe he was laying it on a little thick, but why not? The sooner he started, the sooner she'd finally fall for his overwhelming charm. Even if she didn't want to be carried in that fashion, Lysander just happened to be the only to offer as of yet. She might just be stuck with him and have to make do with all of the requirements. Lysander grinned. If Riordan didn't speak up, Emi would have no choice.

Emi raised an eyebrow then laughed."I decline being carried bridal style but I'll be more then happy to take up the offer to be carried," she said. Carefully she jumped onto Lysander's back. She used her legs to get a hold around his waist while wrapping her arms loosely around his neck, pretty much hanging down slightly on his chest. She moved her head to his right shoulder where she asked, "This okay with you?" She didn't want to be to much of a burden. She looked backwards at Riordan. "I didn't hurt you from the flip did I?" Since they were going to get her fixed up might as well make sure everyone was alright.
