Learning new steps (For St.Ambs)

Eliza was one who had been to Friction more than once over her time in the AFW, one detail that some may forget was that she obtained her first proper win in Tokyo. But most often than not Eliza honed herself in Tension, where she was one of its key players and one that many men desired as well as women too. However Ms Harenwood would inwardly admit Friction was better funded, one time in the Tension gym the treadmill fizzled out from her intense running regime. Now Eliza decided to take advantage of what was available to her and spend the entire day at the Friction gym and follow her practise routines and use the better facilities.

The dancing passion entered out the changing rooms dressed in her ring attire of a dark red leather corset and black stockings, Eliza had already completed her stretching beforehand. She would admit that inwardly Eliza was a tad wary, Tension had a bad rep sure but Friction was known to be lawless as well. It wasn't that Eliza doubted her martial skills, far from it. But she was at least hoping not to run into any unpleasant folks during her trip to Tokyo, one flaw that came with being a star meant people could snipe at you after all. Eliza knew that game all too well.

Ms Harenwood picked herself a part of the room to use, bringing a small CD player for herself. The song Eliza picked out was a violin song with flavours of Venice after performing one last leg lift Eliza proceeded to begin her routines. Elegantly and flawlessly moving from ground to air, flowing like water as she did so.....

Alright. Now she is finally in AFW. One would be excited and happy to be able to join the ranks. Hell, some would already be causing trouble here.

Except for Ryonata that is.

"Oh dear, what have I gotten myself into...perhaps, in retrospect, I shouldn't have come here..." She had just came in the league and already Ryonata is having doubts about her decision to join. It had been months since she had left her family, after the massive fight they had which had left her disowned from said family. But joining AFW marks the time that she is truly independent. That she is able to do as she pleases. Her biological parents weren't to pleased regarding her choice as a wrestler. Ryonata was nonetheless determined to be one, despite what her parents think. The tantalising thought of being a wrestler and being truly independent was all too good for the girl not to pass up.

But have you ever made a decision to do something that looks good and then after making one, you start to doubt wherever you made the right decision? That is what Ryonata Minamoto is feeling right now.

"I'm not even prepared! I'm no seasoned wrestler and yet I just jumped in there without any experience whatsoever! Awww, I am gonna get eaten alive here!" She sulked as the ballerina walked down the corridor. In truth, Ryonata isn't really prepared to be in the ring just yet. Hell, she still think it was just by luck that the dancer was able to get in. But apparently, almost anyone could get in nowadays and there isn't so much of a regulation to follow if you wish to join in the roster. Which would probably include absolute newbies like herself. The closest she has ever been to a competitive fight in a ring was by ringside, at like 100 yards or so. While she does have knowledge about the type of moves used in the ring, self-taught could only get you so far. "At least my parents wouldn't be watching me get absolutely destroyed here. Not that they care about me at all..." The ballerina sighed to herself.

But despite her doubts and self-criticism, Ryonata pushed on, taking a deep breath and nodding to herself. "No, Ryo. Remember why you did it, stupid!"She has got to see it through and she has to try. No point in being paralyzed by your fears, otherwise you wouldn't get anywhere. "The will to win, the desire to succeed and the urge to reach your potential." Despite being the meek one in her family, Ryonata still has the fire which is shared from her family. The only thing that keeps her from turning back now. "Come on Ryonata, you got what it takes. Prove the doubters wrong and make it big!" She would say out loud to herself. Until management would think of putting the dancer in a match, she has to prepare herself.

Hence why she comes to the gym.

Ryonata came in with her white corset, stockings and ballet shoes. Not your typical gym wear but AFW isn't your ordinary place. Plus, she wanted to do a different kind of training. Even Ryonata was worried. People are here to work out and lift weights. A woman looking like she just came from a Swan Lake show would be a funny sight. She heard a little of the rumors about this league of Friction, how completely crazy it is, a wild west with no law. Ryonata would be an easy target for the hungry wolves in Friction.

While trying to avoid being the sacrificial lamb, Ryonata's ears soon pic up on some music. Violins. Her favourite. And not the kind of music you would hear in a gym. With her curiosity piqued, Ryonata quietly follows where the noise come from, till she comes to a room. With a woman doing her dance routine.

Ryonata couldn't believe it. What were the chances of finding another dancer here. She thought she was the only one. And the blonde was definitely skilled, had to have been doing it for a long time. Her elegant and graceful movements displayed shown experience that a veteran could show. And the music was oh so beautiful too.

Ryonata couldn't help but be lost in it, soon doing an improvised routine on the spot behind her while the lady in red dances. Letting the music take over, she did a few jumps and cartwheels before doing a couple of fouettes, seemingly a hard move as she pulls off a seemingly endless series of turns, bobbing up and down on one pointed foot and spinning around and around and around.

Hey, let the girl dance.

Eliza usually practised alone, it had been so when she was growing up where it had been just her and an instructor. All the time spent was alone and with no one, Eliza had inwardly missed out on the camaraderie of being in a ballet class. But it did lead to Eliza honing her steps after all, in Britain you would be the pariah of any ball if you didn't know your steps. But still Eliza was no stranger to dancing with others, one time she fondly recalled teaching Clyde Gastin how to dance. Now that was funny, Texas two stepper he was not. Eliza still was partial to performing with others, she had worked as an instructor from time to time since joining Tension. Still Ms Harenwood was not expecting any members of Friction to be partial to her music, likely telling her to knock it off soon as they walked out the locker room. A CD player may have been archaic yes but Eliza found using headphones to be too cumbersome and often her hand movements would knock them out of her ears.

Ms Harenwood quietly panted as she performed one routine after another, in spite of her exotic attire Eliza was known for keeping a straight lace on things. Even when in battle Eliza was a whirlwind as she battled to overcome her opponents. Eliza then performed an elegant butterfly kick, over time in Tension the dancing passion learned to adapt her steps into various martial art strikes. Particularly kick based ones as befitting her nature, indeed several opponents of Eliza had been educated about the dangers of her dynamic and explosive strikes and many fans watched in awe of Ms Harenwood's acrobatic prowess! Truth be told Eliza was no sadist, but she did come to delight in wowing the men and women of Kyoto with her movements.

After executing this move Eliza's vision would focus on what was behind her, it took the dancing passion a few seconds to fully register the person that had quietly infiltrated the gym behind the dancing passion. Eliza was briefly taken aback by this sudden person who seemed engrossed in her own performances, it gave Ms Harenwood a chance to assess her. A raised eyebrow was on her left side as Eliza was immediately impressed, this woman knew what she was doing. Almost naturally so. Some may have said it was simply impressive, but to one of the craft like Eliza who had more of a keener eye it allowed her to appreciate the more intricate details.

Eliza noticed her attire, almost identical to her own signalling her background. In fact it was essentially the exact opposite of Eliza's colour palette, a serene white to Eliza's passionate dark red. She looked Japanese based off her features, inwardly Eliza was certainly chuffed to see her western style of dance getting a rub in the land of the rising sun. Was she new to Friction? While Eliza never bothered to pay much attention to Friction save for the odd match here and there she would have certainly known if a fellow dancer akin to Eliza was present there. This could have been a fated meeting, a chance to meet a fellow kindred spirt.

What was she to do? Eliza knew it, she politely stood until Ryonata had noticed Eliza had stopped. Eliza usually had a calm and regal expression but in this case Ms Harenwood simply couldn't help but hid her admiration, the dancing passion would curtsey to the redhead and state "Your poise and dexterity is impressive Ms! Have you practised for long? My name is Eliza Harenwood of Britain, a pleasure to meet you."

Classical ballet is generally regarded as part of the western high arts, and as such it has a global appeal. It is watched and learnt in all corners of the world so it is no surprise such a western style of dancing made it's way to the land of the Rising Sun. In the first instance, in Japan, as in several non-western countries, ballet is regarded as a symbol of westernisation. In the second instance, ballet as danced in Japan has unique characteristics that have developed differently from western ballet. In Japan, for example, anyone, regardless of their body proportions, has a chance of becoming a professional ballet dancer, contrary to the western aesthetic ideal 'thin and long limbed' ballet proportions (which Ryonata certainly fits the bill). In developing its own local aesthetics, Japanese ballet appears to have a more egalitarian form if compared to western hegemonic canons and aesthetic considerations.

A most remarkable facet of the Japanese people is their spirit of tenacity and the devotion to industry. Though few ever do so, the Japanese have the capacity to work at a job until they literally drop. Ryonata and her family worked hard all their life to be where they are and they certainly earned it by putting in the hours to perfect their craft. It definitely shows as Ryonata does her improv. Unbeknownst to Ryonata, the two dancers do share similarities of how they were trained in their respective styles. Like Eliza, she also had private tutoring. Sure, it was one of the best ballet teachers her biological parents could find, but she experienced the effects of remoteness and isolation that private tutoring can cause. The only time she would meet other ballerinas like her is in big performances, the chance to converse with her fellow dancing brethren is one she doesn't take for granted. Dancing by yourself is never the same as having a partner or another fellow student. There were benefits though. The tutor can focus on her and her alone, watching every single move to find ways where she could improve.  And her teacher was apparently someone who was top ranked in the art of ballet in her prime.

As Ryonata gracefully did her own steps, she had been briefly glancing the Dancing Passion, watching with awe, especially as she performed a graceful butterfly kick. That move looked really awesome to the young ballerina, her heart sings as the two briefly went through their own steps. Unknowingly, Ryonata didn't catch Eliza stopping, realizing that there was someone dancing behind her just then, the redhead spun round multiple times, her balance and poise is remarkable. Images of her old dance room filled her mind, visualizing in her head that she was there, the CD player a nice touch. Such music is too good to not be shared and unheard.

It took a while, a few moments for the ballerina to register that the blonde was watching her. And she was taken by surprise. Gasping quietly, Ryonata was able to outwardly keep her composure before posing in the fourth position, facing the regal aristocrat. She had been made. The young girl was nervous, not sure what her reaction would be. She did infiltrate the room without permission after all. "Eeep! S-sumimasen!" She bowed deeply, hands together as she apologized.

In fact, why did she apologize in freaking Japanese? The Brit doesn't look like she would understand the language.

Ryonata returned from the bow to look up, brushing her short auburn hair, taking a deep breath before smiling back at Ms Harrenwood. Hearing the compliments certainly made her calm her worst fears as Eliza greeted the young girl."Why thank you!" Ryonata curtsied back to the Briton. Good thing she knows English. Rather fluently too despite the heavy accent. "And yes, I have been practicing Ballet from a young age. You look like you did too! That last move you did there was really cool! Really impressive! A beautiful mix of grace and elegance." Returning the compliment, a big smile on her face as she meets a fellow kindred spirit. "I am Ryonata Minamoto of Japan! Ehe. Pleasure to meet you too." Normally she would be calm, formal and business like when it comes to interactions. However, her parents weren't around and it felt comfortable interacting so enthusiastically. Ryonata was definitely a fan after seeing another dancer here in AFW. It made her not feel so alone in this place. "I'm actually new here, joined like...nearly a month ago? Yeah, around that time. So I was trying to spend time getting ready. Are you a wrestler here in Friction?"

Eliza liked to believe she was good at assessing people when first meeting them, years of being chatted up by men eager to earn the admiration of the British dancer. As well as deciding what to make of a fellow noble and if they were attempting to prove themselves a step up versus her, regardless it came in handy when she first encountered opponents in the squared circle. Big muscly men were obvious, but there could be others that moved away from the stereotype. But Eliza was pleasantly surprised by this woman, Friction and Tension were such a blending pot. Supermodels, martial artists, rockstars, people with criminal records. So on and so forth. However rare it was to encounter another person who retained a strong similarity to oneself, not just in profession but style of dressing too.

If this woman encountered Eliza before her time in Tension she would not have understood Japanese, thankfully Eliza lived long enough in Japan to know the proper terms and words to use. Funnily enough this woman spoke in a similar tone to the dancing passion, perhaps it was why Eliza took to the language like duck to water. She heard tales of it but her parents insisted on having Ms Harenwood learn French the language of her Cousins. But demand made Eliza pick up Japanese, she certainly enjoyed it but. Eliza however was hoping her newly found dancing partner was at least passible in English, like her abilities in the ring Eliza was confident in her speaking prowess but an in depth and at length debate was perhaps beyond Ms Harenwood skill level.

Eliza also wondered about this woman's skill in the ring, certainly her acrobatic prowess was clear being able to follow Eliza step to step. She introduced herself, Ryonata Minamoto. Japanese, Eliza was accurate in her deductions it seemed. She was still surprised by the contrast of their attires. Her English turned out to be quite good thankfully, the better to facilitate communications. A newcomer to wrestling it seemed.

"Ah you are new to Friction? I joined over two or so years I believe, I usually wrestle in Tension over at Kyoto. But Friction has better training resources, with no events booked for me I felt it would be nice to avail myself of them. Yes I found that when one has the flexibility we share incorporating proper strikes into our routines is easy. Eliza stated with a smile, it was something that was a claim to fame to only those with the ability to use it. Sure opponents could be stronger than Ms Harenwood, but it would count for nothing if their opponent worked around it and brought them low.

Intrigued Eliza put a hand to her chin and then stated "Well Ryonata, if your new to Friction I would be happy to offer advice and if you would like to spar I would also be quite dandy to that idea." Eliza had never had the chance to spar against someone so similar to herself in style, plus if Ryonata was as new to wrestling as it was implied she could do with some pointers from one who had become settled into the industry. Eliza never had the chance to get help like Ryonata could receive, so perhaps it would be of some use for the Japanese redhead.........

Ryonata herself couldn't believe the chances of bumping into someone like Eliza Harrenwood. The chances would have been very low, considering that the Briton was in fact in Tension rather than Friction. Which did fascinate the Japanese dancer. The idea of mixed fighting/wrestling is totally new to her, with good reason. Throughout her whole life of coming to see his brother fight (who is definitely more of a fighter than she is), she had only seen men versus men and of course women versus women as it began to be more popular. The idea of a female that could be in the same ring as a male was new, something the ballerina certainly hasn't seen before and considering that her male sibling and her never 'tussled', Ryonata had never imagined herself being able to handle him.

Probably the most common stereotype that Ryonata thought of the women in Tension were tall, big, muscular, juiced to the gills she-monsters. Which is of course far from the truth as she is now speaking with the dancing passion, but before she signed the contract, there wasn't much that Ryonata seen of Tension that thought otherwise. And with Eliza mentioning that the training resources aren't up to par in Tension, the redhead probably made a good idea in applying for Friction. "Kyoto?" Ryonata looked surprised when she heard that. "That is such a long way from Tokyo! I guess I would not blame you for not having matches both in Friction and Tension."

Ryonata, being a polyglot, knows English well (and not the Engerish that most foreigners would think) so for the sake of having better communication shared between the two dancers, the ballerina sticks with that language, much to the delight of Eliza. Such skills would have been very useful when it comes to the business world, her biological parents wanting what they think is best for the family's future and to be able to speak with people of many nations and backgrounds. Of course, Ryonata never believed in following the path the parents set before you, instead to forge your own path. Control your own destiny. Still, it served as a neat trick and with AFW able to attract many people of different countries, it would be very useful in future. No language barriers with her.

The auburn haired girl was intrigued with Eliza as she speaks more. Not just in the way of how she presents herself but also mentioning of her style. In terms of acrobatic prowess, grace, finesse and flexibility, Ryonata was probably on par with Eliza. To incorporate such skills in the ring would certainly be up in her valley! She would love to learn more from the British Aristocrat, anything that could help her. And when Eliza herself offered her help, she shown genuine gratitude."R-Really?" The ballerina has such a big smile on her face. Ryonata had that dreaded thought that she would have to work from the ground up and learn from the battles, just like Eliza did. And as someone who is figuring out her own identity in the squared circle, getting help from many other wrestlers with veteranosity would be a big help for the young girl.

"Ms Harrenwood...I don't know what to say...other than thank you soooo much! Giggling and jumping up and down. Okay girl, calm yourself in front of an aristoctat. Taking a deep breath and brushing the bangs of her short hair. "*ahem* Apologies for that. Ehehe...but yes, that would be a great idea. Any help is very appreciated." Now, where to start? "Your style sounds like something I would probably use. I haven't seen dance incorporated as a style of fighting before. The fights I've seen tend to be more of standard wresting. Or at least the ones that my brother was in. I can honestly say that the fact you're in Tension and managed to have success there is inspiring. I never would have thought I could handle someone bigger and stronger than I was. Just like my brother..." Her voice faltered a bit and her eyes noticeably went down to stare at her feet and the white, silk ballet slippers that she has on. Only for a second before she raises her gaze back to the blonde. "Oh! A-And a spar would without doubt prove to be advantageous and worthwhile. No doubt I could learn a lot from you, Ms Harrenwood."

Undoubtedly would be better than learning during official matches, that's for sure.

Eliza would admit it was sudden, next thing Eliza knew she was helping a newcomer to wrestling. Was Eliza truly ready for a role like this? Subjective opinions would say no and yes. No on the basis that Eliza was not in wrestling as long as others here, but yes in relation to her similarity to Ryonata. Right place and right time, both Tension and Friction were dangerous places. As a Harenwood Eliza felt a sort of duty to give a rub to the dancer of the east and help her out. Certainly would be more worthwhile than exercising alone at least. Eliza fondly recalled the time she tried to teach Clyde Gastin how to dance, not the Texas two step but a more formal style. The dancing passion knew she would need to apply a different sort of mindset however with Ryonata if she was going to help her in wrestling, instead of instructing a wrestler to dance it was the other way around.

Not to mention Eliza was indeed truly curious to try herself alongside one who bore such a resemblance to her, most of Eliza's foes were men due to her preference of it. This would be an interesting change of pace, Ryonata certainly seemed like a person who Eliza could trust. Call it a dancer's instinct. Ryonata didn't lack for spirt though, gladly accepting an offer to learn from one who found what worked and what did not. Eliza was confident if she could handle all sorts of opponents in Tension Ryonata could do it too! Eliza was a renowned sort in Kyoto, the darling of Tension. Many newcomers often liked to test themselves against Eliza due to this status, Ms Harenwood took it in stride however as she could entertain the men and woman in attendance and simply make them a stepping stone in her career.

Eliza would give a smile to her partner for today before saying "Its important to learn how to work with your best attributes, it can be rare for us to be able to be bigger than our opponents with our body types. Number of times its happened to me is on one hand. But with practise you can ensure that to you its not really an advantage at all." Eliza's many male foes that were bigger than her meant that it became second nature to her in using what was best.

The dancing passion would motion towards a nearby ring and said "Lets step in then, before we go into any actual wrestling lets do some ring stuff. A thing we can have is our lithe agility, allowing us to use the dimensions of the ring to our advantage. Get a feel for it, ropes in particular can be your best friend." Eliza held the top rope after entering it and feeling the material before leaning on it and then running back and forth a couple of times to emphasize the point......

Even she couldn't believe how fast things were going. Ryonata chalked that as just being in the right place at the right time. Although the music that had been playing before did help the ballerina lead her to Eliza, sort of like some lighthouse for dancers to lead them here. If there was a chance, Ryonata had to take it. Who knows when the next best opportunity would come to her. And to learn from someone who mains in Tension, which is arguably a lot more tougher than Friction (although she hasn't known many women combatants that could disprove that claim) would be of much help. It's still just a wonder why a woman like her isn't in Friction instead. That alone is inspiring to the dancer of the east.

Plus, if she could survive in a league like Tension then Ryonata could if she wanted. That would take time though. No need to rush things, right? Despite the bright spirit that she has, Ryonata remained humble. The darling of Tension deserves that much. Listening intently with what Mrs Harrenwood had to say. "It's important to learn how to work with your best attributes..." It did make sense. One can't be a powerhouse and have the body type of Ryonata and Eliza. That would be a messy pairing. Sure, she did have strength, not the 'lifting 400kg deadlift' kind of strength though. No. Something that would be known with many who had danced their entire lives.

The Dancing Passion motioned to the nearby ring and Ryonata looked with an expression of wonder. Never have she been inside of a ring, this would be the first. Excited, she followed the woman in red while listening. Well, that and staring at the ring. There weren't any audience, just the dancer of the east and the dancer of the west. Ryonata couldn't be any happier.

After, almost embarrassingly passed under the top rope, the Ballerina found herself inside. She got a feel of the canvas under her feet, the thin canvas mat with just some soft padding over the wooden boards. She looked around in wonder. "Is this even close to what you would see...brother? It might have been, her hand on the ropes getting a feel of it before giving it a squeeze. She's like a kid who is doing a biology experiment, pulling on it to see how far it could go. Depending how things go, those ropes could be another new friend. Eliza then runs back and forth a few times and Ryonata followed suit, running to one end and leaning on the ropes before running back the other way, and ricocheting off them, she did it about three times, getting comfortable with the fast speed that she is going. She was experiencing what other wrestlers had experienced, memories of shows where professional wrestlers would throw another to the ring ropes and the thrown wrestler would almost always turns around, bounces back, and is usually subject to some kind of attack. While being the human version of a ball in ping pong, the moves she had seen that looked cool had the redhead want to try them out. Now obviously, the moves she didn't have much training in wrestling. But she did watch a lot of matches so if they could do it, she could do it too! Once she bounced off the ropes, Ryonata decided to be rather brave and try for the advanced stuff, going to a cartwheel, her hands planted on the canvas before doing one back flip.

Now in theory, Ryonata was going with the lucha libre style, being in a handstand while bouncing off the ropes. But in reality...well...she botched it. She almost got tangled with the ropes themselves, failing to do said trick and instead falling to the floor in a upside down heap. "Owowowowowow...." She winced, rubbing her back before getting to her side, looking up to the darling of Tension. "Ah...G-gomen'nasai..." She said while rubbing her head.

Well that went well, didn't it doofus?

As a newcomer to wrestling one first needed to be familiar with the ring, it would be where most conventional battles took place after all. Friction and to a lesser extent Tension catered to a wide array of matches including those of a more seedier aspect, the sort Eliza would never take part in. Eliza needed to maintain her family's image after all, wouldn't do to have her be naked and rolled in jello after all.

But back on topic the dancing passion had no idea of how much actual ring practise Ryonata possessed, however based off her comments and demeanour Eliza assumed it was nil. So the first thing on the table was to run the ropes so to say, Eliza enjoyed them in battle. Opponents typically targeted her legs with submission holds so rope breaks were needed, and she used it to leap towards her foes and deliver dynamic strikes to knock them silly.

Eliza stood and watched as Ryonata took the time to practise it, letting the newcomer run at her own pace to feel comfortable. Ryonata probably had a few things running in her mind as she acted in the ring, still Eliza witnessed her movement speed. Ryonata moved like a duck to water, using her natural agility. Ms Harenwood was impressed with her actions. But Ryonata went ahead of herself as she moved into a movement that Eliza was familiar with, having used it several times in her matches. Handspringing off the ropes to bust into a backwards elbow jump.

Ryonata however was not at Eliza's level in this, and in slow motion Eliza could see the trainwreck the dancer of the East was involved in. Next thing Eliza knew Ryonata was splayed out near the ring and outside it. The Brit's eyes widened and in an instant Eliza shouted "Oh my God!" and she promptly slid out the squared circle and got next to Ryonata. Eliza would check Ms Minamoto and say "Are you okay Ryonata? That was a hard fall there." Ms Harenwood was relieved there were mats around the ring, Eliza would wait for what she would say in response. Eliza admired her enthusiasm inwardly however. "Don't worry about it but, I did something similar myself." Eliza was after all the one who learned first, and what worked and what did not.......

The closest Ryonata had ever been to in the past was at ringside where she and her biological parents would take pictures after their son would usually win his matches. She would have loved to be inside the ring but every time she would so even touch the ropes, Ryonata would get scolded by her parents. Despite seeing the occasional female wrestling match, her parents would never let her do something like this. Or anything that is in anyway shape or form a physical sport.

So whilst she bounces from one end of the ring to another, ricocheting off the ropes, the Japanese ballerina took great joy in this. It was truly great that Eliza gave her the chance to experience this, no doubt Ryonata would really get to enjoy this in a real match when you are in the receiving end of a clothesline or a dropkick.

For now, her mindset is focused on just your typical wrestling and nothing else. Ryonata herself knows of AFW's seedier side and was enough to put her off. Being straight as a priest on a Sunday, and not the kind that touches kids, Ryonata hasn't really experienced a liking to girls. Being stuck in a house for most of your life certainly didn't give the young girl many opportunities to experiment on that. But going back to the topic of wrestling, Ryonata has no interest in rolling around in mud. Or being stripped naked.

But she does have interest in doing acrobatic stuff in the ring, fitting with Ryonata's dance background and the redhead foolishly tried something more advanced than her skill level. And it ended horribly for her as the move became less of a trainwreck and more of the Hindenburg disaster. Right idea, not ready for that however.

She should probably level up first.

As Eliza tends to the ballerina, she rubbed her back. Thank god the ring was padded. "Oww...I'm fine, thank you." She give a pained smile. "I would always practice flips and stuff like that in my bedroom. The floor was even harder than that..." Managing to chuckle when looking at the dancing passion. Mentioning the times that she would practice such acrobatic attacks in her room. They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. But it still hurts. "I'm guessing you had better luck that I just did...Again, sorry, Mrs Harrenwood. Got really excited to be in the ring for the first time. However, progress shouldn't be rushed. Apologies." Looking down at her feet when she said the last line.
