Molly never looked so unsure at the training field until today. She stood on the grass with her weapon summoned, though the lance's tip was resting on the ground. Her free gloved hand worried at the hem of her coat and she was biting on her bottom lip as she stared at the trainee across from her. She had to walk the last person she sparred to the infirmary, and he was an intermediate...this was a trainee...and it was Jeremy. She didn't want to harm even the tiniest little blonde hair on his dandelion head, but how could she say no when he was so valiantly training hard to get promoted?
This was awful.
"...You...go first, alright? Please?" Her voice cracked a bit.

He had pestered her for what felt like days, though it had probably only been an hour, off and on, since that morning. She had expressed her hesitations about it, and even did her best to find a way around the word no without actually saying it, but he was fixated on this. He needed to practice with someone, and Molly seemed like the the safest person to fight with. Plus, it was time he got to spend with her, which was also good.
"Hokay!" But before he started, he skipped across the field, gave her a peck on the cheek, and then hopped backwards to where he started, because otherwise it wouldn't be fair. Not that this match was in any way fair to begin with.
"You're the best, Mols!" He yelled - though he didn't need to - and quickly summoned Elsie into his hands, the fire ball landing at his feet with a heavy thud. With a jerk of her chain he pulled her up, and a slight kick sent her into a spin, which turned into several as he built up enough momentum to kick her out towards Molly, the flaming spikes clashing into her shield.

She 'eep'ed at the kiss, and the sweet gesture make her stomach turn, along with the anxiety that wasn't eased. "N-no you are, Jeremy...!" The mantra in her head was to 'tone it down.' No...doing what she usually did? Control. Butterfly hits? Butterfly hits! Yes. Float like a butterfly and...hit like a butterfly?
Molly was wondering how hard a butterfly could hit when her shield was hit itself. "Oh!" She started, her eyes going wide as she stumbled back a bit from the unexpected and strong strike. "Go-good job! That was an excellent hit!" Said said in earnest, and that was enough to get her motivated to raise her weapon and charge the trainee, piercing at his own shield.

Jeremy was grinning, pleased with himself. For going up against Molly, sweet, deadly Molly, he was doing pretty well so far. She charged him and he brought up a section of chain, holding it tight in front of him in an attempt to block some of the oncoming attack; not that it worked as well as he had wanted, but at the very least he hadn't been immediately knocked out, which he supposed was fair.
"How do you even hold that thing?" He gasped in wonder, watching her wield the massive lance as if it were a magic wand, all while twisting Elsie back into motion, pulling her towards him just enough to build up momentum. Like before, he kicked the weighted ball at Molly, but this time, he jerked the chain to attempt an attack from the side as opposed to face on. It was important for him to learn to control the weapon, especially one that had a very high margin of error.

"Huh?" Molly blinked at the question before she gave a small laugh. "The same way you wield yours!" She answered, beaming before it quickly turned into a surprised look as the weapon flew in from the side. Despite being a Hunter, Molly's reflexes were still slow, and she was used to taking and dishing hits from the front, so anywhere else was something of a weak spot. Also, despite Jeremy being a trainee...his weapon was still pretty terrifying when it was flying at you. She now staggered to the side, skidding along the ground from the impact with the weapon. "How do you hold it?" She had to turn the question back on him, in genuine awe and curiosity. His weapon was definitely one of the more interesting ones...she shook her head to focus. Molly raised her lance as she rushed at him again and struck his shield. HP: 46 / 60

"Nuh huh~" He insisted from a distance, which meant he insisted loudly. "Yours is way different from mine, seriously, Mols!" He whined, because the differences were clear as day; hers was a giant pole, his was a metal version of a paddle ball without a paddle. If he was affected by the damage she was taking, he didn't show it; but it was also likely he figured that she could handle it, because she was ranks above him and just awesome like that.
He let out a surprised cry as she caught him off guard - which wasn't a hard thing to do - but he bought the chain up anyway, still trying to dodge the majority of the damage.
"Uhhh, I don't know. I just do?" He mused, staring down at his hands as he twisted the chain from arm to arm, passing it to create a wide X in front of him. Then, with a shrug, he jerked the chain back a little bit, then let it loose, sending Elsie flying at Molly once more.

Molly gave a soft laugh. "That's how I explain it, too! I just do..." The hunter backed up a bit, looking to maintain some distance for her weapon and most certainly because of his weapon. She was prepared this time, and held her weapon up and braced it to take the brunt of the incoming Elsie. "Goodness though! I don't know how you stay so energetic! I think I'm getting tired watching all the work you put into wielding that!" She shifted her weapon and moved back in, tapping him for the most part, before she was backing away again. "Hey uh...Jeremy? What...got you motivated all of a sudden?" A pause, before she gasped and looked worried that could be taken offensively. "No-not that there's anything wrong with that! I think it's wonderful!" She waved a hand erratically at him in assurance. "Bettering one's self is always noble and great!" HP: 43 / 60

"Gotta keep momentum up, or she's useless!" He chirped cheerfully, to the horrified, unhappy whine in his head. "What? It's true!" He insisted out loud, though nothing had been said between them. It didn't seem to stop Elsie from whining and yelping her disapproval, before tapering off into a long, mournful howl. Molly's question brought him back into the present, and he mulled over her question while swinging Elsie, jerking the chain to send her flying at his beloved's feet.
"I think it's about time, yeah?" He'd been a trainee forever, but he couldn't keep that up for much longer. Changes had to be made, right?

Then again, maybe that was the type of weapon that suited Jeremy then, if it required him to put forth so much energy. For some reason, if he had anything else she could imagine him getting...bored. She giggled, both at her thought, and the conversation he was most likely having with his weapon, before making a surprised sound as she stumbled on said weapon that was chucked at her feet. She teetered to one side before finding her balance again, and moved back in to jab at him again before resuming her pattern of backing away. Molly gave a nod of her head, jostling the curls that were pulled back into a messy bun. "I'm proud of you!" HP: 39 / 60

Molly was proud of him? Best day ever. The teen grinned wide, practically wiggling in delight. "Thanks!" He chirped, too pleased with himself to remember to aim a little better. Elsie connected, but certainly not as well as he would have liked; in fact, his last few hits had been slipping.
He chalked it up to the lovely form in front of him.

"Mhm!" Molly side stepped that next attack easy enough. "Just imagine when you become a full hunter!" She started beaming. "You'll have a bigger room for a bigger pool for your ducks...and you could even put them in your own shower!" Well, it'd be hard to bathe then she imagined...but oh well! After saying that she lunged, piercing his shield once more. HP: 38 / 60

Full Hunter...now that seemed like a dream. An unattainable dream. Three years and he wasn't an intermediate yet...if he lived to see the next six, well, then he could probably make it to full Hunter in that time! But he did imagine his own big room, with his own shower, and perhaps his own closet! "...Or! We could get a house! Wouldn't that be great?" Then there could be more rooms! For more ducks, and more everything! Plus more Molly, which was pretty cool considering she was always around as it was. He was suitably distracted when Molly lunged again, her hit to his shield bringing it down to dangerous levels. He had been knocked off his feet from the force of the impact, and for a moment he lay there, breathless and giggling. "H'okay, Mols, you win. I give up!" He tapped the ground beside him, then moved to sit up, dusting himself off.

After striking him, she seemed surprised by talk of a house. Also of 'we.' We...that was nice to hear. The last few years of her life before Deus had been 'I' or 'me' so...that was really nice. "We." She whispered to herself as a smile stretched her lips. She then registered the poor guy had been knocked flat, and startled. "Ah! I'm so sorry!" She skittered over to him, worriedly, and well, he has handling it in good ol' Jeremy fashion. Cheerfully and enthusiastically. "Are you alright?" She still had to ask as she desummoned her weapon, and released a deep sigh of relief. He didn't have to go to the infirmary, so that was good. Molly then turned, and flopped her bottom onto the ground next to him, stretching out her legs before her and resting her hands on her thighs. "You're really close now." She murmured, and trailed off for a moment before she looked at him. "Do you want a house?"

"Naaaaaaaah, it' okay, I'm fine!" He waved from the ground, because getting up had just been too hard. Plus, this place was vaguely him-shaped, which was always nice. "I didn't think I'd last that long against you! Yay me~" For being laid out, he was still quite proud of himself for going as far as he did.
"It'd be cool to have a house. Never really had one before, so it'd be cool." He nodded, finally attempting to sit up again, and this time with more success. "BUT ~ I want whatever you want, so if you don't want a house, neither do I!" Jeremy turned a wide, fox-eyed grin towards Molly.
