Training with Ra's had always been... Interesting. The pair of you are both too stubborn for your own good, but, God, does it lead to some competitive sparring matches.

Within his centuries of life, Ra's has seen some things. He'd watched his own parents be killed. He'd seen how those same kinds of people killed the Earth. He'd seen how much more beneficial it would be to kill them than to let this beautiful planet die.

He had also seen just how dangerous the world was for the average person.

He had seen just how dangerous the world was for you.

Ra's is a man who doesn't have much else to lose, other than Talia and Damian. In reality, his family and his cause was all he needed. Even as Talia ventured out on her own and Damian started training with his father, they were always held close to his heart. So were you, for the record.

When Ra's had first started training you in physical defense and attacks, he held back a lot. To be fair, he did have about six hundred more years of experience than you did. But as your skills progressed, his restraint lessened.

And now, in the beautiful Himalayan Mountains of Tibet, he showed no mercy. Of course he would never truly harm you, but he knew there were others that wouldn't hesitate. Each one of his moves were quick and percise, just as his logic.

For quite some time, you were holding out pretty well. The most that had really set you back were a few small stumbles over your own feet. Well, that was until you got your feet, quite literally, knocked out from under you. In a matter of seconds, you'd gone from a defensive fighting stance to pinned underneath the Demon's Head.

"I taught you how to get out of this, didn't I?" His voice is almost a tease as your arms remain pinned beneath his on the temple floor. The tone of his words almost made you want to scoff slightly, but you knew it was just to get you all riled up.
