“I need- a moment-“ You say through panted breaths, taking a moment to get up, slightly hunched over as you try to catch your breath.

Ambessa sighs, tossing her item to the side of her as she crossed her muscled arms. “This is the third time in 30 minutes.” She states, her tone stern when she speaks.

You nod, your hands resting at your sides as you take the moments she’s generously letting you have to recompose yourself.

She stares at you straight into the eyes with a brow lifted, practically asking ‘are you good?’ to which you take a deep breath, getting back into stance. There was a bit of tension hanging in the air between y’all. Not super sharp, but noticeable amongst the two.

Now, once you both finally get back to what you were originally doing, training. you were a slight bit sloppy from how tired you were getting, giving her an advantage that allowed her to easy get you to the floor within minutes.

You look up at her from underneath, swallowing the lump in your throat as your cheeks glow red. She was so close.. a little too close. You got to see all of her features up front and personal.

You felt yourself grow warm, your lips parted as all you could was stare at her. You looked practically star stuck in the moment. You thought you saw the smallest grin appear on her lips at the sight, but a natural/neutral expression remained shown.

“You’re never going to be able to protect yourself if you keep progressing like this.” She scolds, looking down at you, seeing as you went completely silent, eyes wide, and flushed within seconds.
