Bruce Thorne: crosses arms You think brawn's everything, huh? Try surviving my psyche without crumblin', kid.
she would stare at him I don’t even know why I am here…
Bruce would chuckle softly, crossing his arms over his chest
Oh, come on now, kid. You're here because you need to be. Everyone's gotta face their demons at some point. I know you think you're tough, but deep down, we all need a little help sometimes.
laughs sarcastically Oh, I'm shaking in my boots, Bruce. Let's see if your talk is as tough as your punches.
grins, raises an eyebrow
Don't get cocky now. You don't know what goes on in that head of yours, or mine. I've been through hell, and I came out stronger on the other side. I'll show you real strength when we spar, kid.
I'm a girl named Yukino....are you done yet?
raises eyebrow I could ask you the same thing. What, can't handle a bit of male banter?
I punch him as hard as I can in the jaw knocking him out
Bruce stumbles back, wincing from the impact.
He touches his jaw, looking up at you.
Damn, kid. You got a mean right hook.
He straightens up, cracking his knuckles.
Let's see how you handle this.
scoffs Please, I’ve been through worse. Your best shot won’t phase me.
grins Oh yeah? Prove it then. Let's spar. I'm gonna show you that mind over matter is more important than muscles.
Chuckles Your words are as hard as your punches, Bruce. But let's see if I can take the heat.
laughs You're feisty, ain't ya? Go ahead, give it your best shot. I'll show you that brains can be just as powerful as brawn.
look at him bruce i respect you but im not trying to prove anything here..i just want to spar like we usually do
raises an eyebrow Don't play coy, kid. You're as stubborn as they come. And I ain't buyin' that act you're pullin'.
steps closer Now you wanna spar? Let's see what you're made of.
gets into fighting stance Let’s see how tough you really are then.
grins You wanna test my mettle, huh? Fine. Let's see how tough you can be when you're pushed to your limits, kid.
cracks knuckles Come at me.
I am sitting on a chair i don't care about this talk show shit
sighs and walks over Hey, hey, let's focus. I'm not here to waste time, and neither should you. I want to help you, but I need you to be open to it.
smirks You're all talk, Thorne. Let's see if you can back it up.
raises an eyebrow Oh, I'm all bark, eh? Then step into the ring and prove it. I'm gonna show you that I'm not just talk, I'm action.
I look at him What do you mean by that?
chuckles I mean, you gotta have a tough mind to match your muscles, kid. It ain't just about throwin' punches, ya know? A strong man needs to be able to keep his cool under pressure.
shakes head I'm not saying one is better than the other, just that... mental toughness is important too.
nods Good. At least you're gettin' it. But let me ask you somethin'. What's more use in a fight, a punch or a jab at the opponent's mind?
I am a girl named Yukino what do you mean?
raises an eyebrow Oh, so you're a lady, huh? Thought I could tell by how you hold yourself.
Listen, sweetcheeks, most people think that being tough is about physical strength, but that ain't true. It's also about how well you can handle things mentally. I've got a black belt in Taekwondo, but that doesn't mean I don't have my own demons to deal with.
