The long and harrowing road! (For Indigo)

Ryan nodded in response to the words of the rabbit girl, to be needing a breathing tube was to be nearing the door to the other side. Mr Knight was silent for a moment, he hadn't encountered a situation like that in his career. Broken bones, cuts and the like sure. But something like that, Ryan believed he wouldn't be the same for a good while after that.

However hearing Anampo's other words though, about how those close to her had visited. A warm smile appeared on the regal man's features, although he bit his lower lip soon after.

"That's great Anampo, uh sorry I couldn't visit again while you were there. It's just....me and my team have been accosted by a group of biker girls here in tension. They call themselves the Valkyries, but rest assured I will give them the lesson they deserve. Either I or someone else will." Mr Knight said, he figured that Anampo should have been warned. But Ryan was certain everything would work out, once Ryan started on something he saw it through.

She gave him a look that she doesn't give often. A smirk. "I was in the hospital for a while, you know. I saw all of what happened to you and your team. I do fear a bit..." She looked down for a moment, knowing already that her safety could be jeopardized so quickly after getting back into the world. She then looks back at Ryan with a happy smile. "If anything happens to me, they won't just have you to deal with. Yoshiro, Conza, Nick.....E-Even Jay would help, I'm sure."

"He visited me with some words. Jay wants me to get stronger, too. He said that he wouldn't accept me until I proved to him that I'm strong." Thinking about that day, she pushed the buttons on the treadmill and went a bit faster. "I have to at least try. I watched so many new fights and reruns in the hospital. Even Conza, who's lost so many times, still tries." Anampo resolved quickly.

Ryan's smile widened, it was true that the rabbit girl would certainly be fine. He pictured it now, the Valkyries encircled by Ryan's team and Anampo's friends. Ah such glory, and maybe he could tie Damus up to that stake too as they lit the flames under it and...

And Ryan needed to focus, there'd be plenty of time for bashing the heads in of those bitches later. For now he needed to help Anampo, and he was glad to see her increase the speed of her treadmill. Taking the initiative, the Knight heard her words. About how she decided to prove herself to Jay.

A grin emerged on Ryan's face, he kept his speed at the usual though. "Well hey, stick around Anampo. And one day who knows, you might be able to bust out a powerbomb on him. Knock on him on his arse that would, and then I'll rush up to you and embrace you. That sound good my love?" he then let out a chuckle.

She blushed and looked forward as she ran, being shy. The whole thing about them being alone here, it just made her shy. "I-I'm not gonna hurt him...I jut want to show him that I've gotten better by turning around my streak..." Though the idea of her beating down Jay like that made her smirk ever so slightly, it wasn't a right idea. She continues to run. They kept going for a while before she asks: "How long are we running for?l

"Well for as long as you wish, we can move on to general sparring now if you want." Ryan said, he turned his treadmill off and stood near Anampo's. Once Anampo was satisfied Ryan would motion towards the ring.

Being the British gentleman that he was Ryan would stand by the steps, offering his hand to Anampo once again. "Allow me to escort you into the ring my dear." he'd say with a smile, always with a smile. Once the rabbit was on the apron Ryan would open the ropes for her, he then pretended to wipe his feet on the apron before entering the ring.

"Right Anampo, we shall go over some basic grapples. Bread and butter moves, and I will show you how best to counter them. Is there any moves you have had trouble against in the past?" Mr Knight said as he moved to embrace Ms Yatgra in his arms.

Anampo got off of the treadmill. She was constantly trying to remind herself that Ryan was NOT there to hurt her, but to help her. She was helped by her Knight off of the machine and towards a ring. "A-A ring?" She bit the indside of her lip, a bit afraid for what was coming.

She took his escort and would oddly slide back into the ring. It has been a while since she had been in one. She walked acoss it to the opposing corner and turned around to face Ryan. Moving towards him, she assumed that the match had already started when he reaches to embrace her in a hug.

"U-Um....Its hard for me to escape most submissions....."

"Submissions? Hm, you do strike me as having that sort of problem." Ryan muttered, rubbing his nose into her rabbit ears. Mr Knight would then blink a couple of times, then a grin appearing on his face.

"Then....we'll just focus on that!" Ryan said, with the rabbit girl still held in his arms. Mr Knight would lock Anampo into a sort of bearhug, bringing the rabbit even closer to him. Resting his head above her chest, but he wasn't applying any pressure to her back. Rather it was like a bigger hug than before.

"Now my dear, the first thing when you face a move like this. Is to not panic, but rather try to force the person to let go." Ryan then began walking around the ring, with the rabbit scooped in his strong arms.

"You have several options, you can try and grab the nearest ropes. Use your free arms to strike at the head or pry the arms of your opponent open, I usually prefer option one or two." Ryan explained, he would then tease Anampo by shaking her from side to side in his big hug.

"Y-Yeah, submissions.....They've costed me a few fights.' She sheepishly laughs and rubbed the back of her head. Her gray eyes drifted down. She feels Ryan rubbing his nose on her fake ears, like he had such a connection or liking to them. She quickly looked back up when he said they would focus on submissions. When being grabbed into a bearhug, Anampo near immediately began to panic.

Ryan's voice calms her down, though. Bit by bit. She realizes that he wasnt crushing her like she thought. She listens to his instructions as the walked around. Her face was red in shyness and embarrassment. Her first decision was to put both palms flat on his chest and began to push, trying to make the gap between them wider and his grip looser.

Ryan began shaking his head, looking up at Anampo as she tried to pry his grip around her waist. As much as he didn't want to do this, he knew that letting her go like this wasn't the best way.

"No Anampo, that option is generally not recommended. You have your arms already free, this is usually a mistake on your opponent's part. I never power out of a move when I can escape in another way, doing this only tires you out faster. And that will make your defeat all the more easier for your opponent, keep that in mind. Wasting your energy is one of the worst things you can do, now find another way to get out of this hold. Either grab onto the ropes or strike me in a fashion that will take me by surprise, I can take it I assure you." Ryan explained, he would then began to increase the pressure of his hold.

It wouldn't be crushing level hard, but it would be more noticeable. Ryan figured maybe a good old "Sink or swim." might be best for the rabbit girl.

She felt as if she was being scolded. Anampo bit her lip and slowly moved her hands away from Ryan's chest as he talked. "Yeah, s-sorry. I-I'll try to find another way to break out of this..." Anampo was about to try again but, she felt Ryan increase the hug's pressure. Her eyes widen slightly, realizing that he was starting to get serious. The rabbit gasps slightly. She was about to do the same thing again.

She raised her hands up in an axe handle sort of way. Her arms shaking a bit, she reluctantly thrusts her arms down to hit Ryan on the top of the head with an adequate amount of force.
