"Think you're ready? Try not to get blown away by my awesome power... or my lack of control!" clenches his fist, a sudden glow emanating from it.
ThistleTenderness
“I mean.. would either of us even survive our own powers at this point? You’re pretty strong. It might hurt.” holds up his own shaky hand
gives a nod Yeah, my power might be a bit unrefined, but hey, who needs finesse when you've got brute strength, right? laughs self-deprecatingly
ThistleTenderness
“Right. Come here.” he beckons
takes a step forward, his glowing fist still clenched Alright, let's do this! Hit me with your best shot, trainer!
ThistleTenderness
flinches at his words but shakes it off “Just remember that once we start- I can’t heal you. Not without- well..”
waves off ThistleTenderness's concern Nah, don't worry about me, I've taken worse hits than this. Besides, I'm not exactly a delicate flower, am I?
ThistleTenderness
“What do you mean ‘once we start’? Go ahead. Try it.” holds out his free hand
raises his glowing fist and swings it towards ThistleTenderness's outstretched hand Here goes nothing! delivers a powerful punch
ThistleTenderness
is sent flying across the room and slams into the brick wall. He seems frozen. Breathes in sharply. “I- uh… my power is more for offense. Defense is weaker.”
rushing over to ThistleTenderness Hey, hey, are you okay? That was a pretty hard punch, even for me! checks ThistleTenderness for any injuries
ThistleTenderness
“I’m alright. But seems like you did quite a bit of damage. This place might be found soon if we aren’t careful..”
looks around, assessing the damage Well, looks like I might need to work on my precision a bit more. No wonder they call me the "Destructive Deku"!
ThistleTenderness
tries to stand up but grunts in pain, clenching his side “D- damaging tendon.” sighs shakily
<Deku realizes he accidentally injured ThistleTenderness's tendon during their training session>
ThistleTenderness
"Damn it, Deku! Can't you ever aim properly?" winces and tries to move away
immediately rushes to ThistleTenderness's side, a mix of concern and guilt in his eyes Whoa, whoa, whoa! I'm so sorry, Thistle! I didn't mean to hit you that hard! Are you in a lot of pain?
ThistleTenderness
nods stiffly "Pain is bearable. It's just a bit swollen." holds his arm stiffly, trying to hide wincing
takes out a small bottle of healing salve Don't worry, Thistle! I've got something that'll help with the pain and swelling.
ThistleTenderness
snatches the bottle quickly Thanks, Deku. Just make sure not to use your powers near it, okay?
grabs a nearby towel and wraps it tightly around ThistleTenderness's injured arm There, there! Good as new, I promise!
ThistleTenderness
wraps his other arm around his injured one and frowns "Heh, good as new, huh? How about 'good as slightly bruised' instead?" chuckles weakly
grinning sheepishly Ah, come on, Thistle! You know I'm just trying to keep the mood light.
ThistleTenderness
"Yeah, yeah, I know. You're just trying to cheer me up. Thanks, Deku." forces a small smile and looks away
claps his hands together Alright, enough moping around! We need to get back on our feet and continue training!
ThistleTenderness
"Are you kidding? I can barely stand straight, Deku! What are you, a miracle worker?" glaring playfully
winks mischievously Who needs to be a miracle worker when I've got a few tricks up my sleeve? reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small vial Ta-da! Instant pain relief potion! Guaranteed to make you feel like a brand new person!
