" Well, it wouldn't be easy. Especially for a girl as strong as you are. I'd have to follow your moves first, and see how well you respond. But... you can handle it if I make the first move, right? "

-smiling-

"I´m preferring it..."

also smiling

-reaches out to her side, near her hips. Still smiling, he waits for her reaction, while attempting to move his other hand when she made her move-

looks up and loosens up her fighting pose

"I don´t know what you´re up to but just a hint: Try better not to touch my hip. I´m getting really mad... And..."

looks him in the eyes

"... especially not when you´re smiling like that. Don´t ask me why, I just don´t like that."

slightly smiling again

" Sorry. Now I know how you react. I was hoping for a different reaction though... "

-letting go of her-

" But I'm curious as to why you hate it that much. "

"When I was younger I was kind of corpulent. When I started training I lost the superfluous weight and build up some muscles."

smiles

"... and I´m ticklish. That´s why I´m getting mad in such a situation. But it´s ok, I need to overcome it some day."

" Really? I'm ticklish t- "

-stops himself from revealing that secret-

" ... Ah, so that's your weakness. "

-looks into her eyes, smiling-

"I wouldn´t say it´s a weakness, it´s more that it pushes me..."

smiles

"... but for you it seems to be a weakness. That´s your weak point. Nice to know."

-also smiles-

" Who said it was my weakness? As long as you're close enough, I can still get you. If it effects you negatively, I'd say it's your weakness... in a way."

"Mmmh, maybe. Well, you said that you´re ticklish too. Don´t try to deny it."

nudges him slightly at his forehead with her finger

-looks away-

" Y-Yeah... but... whatever. "

laughs

"I got you! You´re kind of shy too..."

looks at him smiling

"I like that side of yours."

-slightly blushes-

" You do?... "

nods her head

"Yes, I do. You know, I just like people who can show their gentle and weak side. In my eyes, if you can do so you´re strong."

smiles at him

"I also like people who know what their doing and who are selfconfident, not cocky but selfconfident."

" I can tell. I did seem a bit cocky back then. But I like the way you are too. And I'd like to get to know you better later."

-smiles-

"I didn´t meant you when I said I like men who know what they´re doing, but ... maybe I´ll get to know that side of yours too."

looks at him kind of confused

"You already get to know me now, I won´t change that much ... but I know what you wanted to say."

" Oh. That's good. I still like the way you are.

-sits down, looking at the paper again-

" I'm sorry. It's hard for me to read Italian now. How about you loosen up before we start. You can jog or stretch, whatever suits you. "

"What about you? You don´t need to warm up? And..."

looks confused

"We already tried to start without that... By the way, I can´t speak italian nor read italian, so you need to translate it in german, english, french, spanish or japanese..."

-nods-

" Right. You already have some experience. When we were trying to find each other's weak spots, we ended up revealing it. With this training explained in the paper, it can help make you more agile and increase your speed. I was trying to test your reaction to opponents. You actually did better than I thought. "

-turns the paper around-

" Unfortunately, I'll have to try my best to translate this. It's only written on our mafia's form of writing.... "

"I did better than you thought? This again ... Either you you thought I was really weak or you thought you were that great... Either way I don´t like that attitude! Don´t judge your opponents by how they´re looking, you´ll underestimate them."

shakes her head

"You won´t get far with this..."

-rubs the back of his head-

" I didn't mean it like that. And sometimes you can estimate just how strong someone is by looking at them. I've already told you you're really good. I wouldn't underestimate you... "

-smiles-

" Especially someone as cute as you are. "

-laughs-

"You don´t need to compliment me that much..."

looks in his eyes and smiles

"... just a few is absolutely sufficient."

winks

"You thought I was angry just because of that? I already know how to ... let´s say handle that attitude of yours ... Well, I try. "

-smiles-

" Oh? Then I'm not having a bad effect on you. "

"Bad effect? Not that I know. You can´t affect me that bad anyway. I´m not going to take on you bad habbits..."

smiles slightly

-looked up at her after glancing at the paper, so that he wouldn't look like he's ignoring her-

" Okay. How about this? What haven't you learned from your boss? We can work on that in the meantime. "
