You said you can take care of yourself, so I assume you know how to fight. Not that I don't have some idea myself, mind you, but not much beyond getting hit and hitting back harder...
[That's an odd request. If Yuca wasn't still missing a decent chunk of his soul, he'd probably be worried as to why Horst wanted to learn how to fight.]
[Yuca makes his way over in a few hours. He remembers where it is, if nothing else, and when he does finally arrive, he's dressed how he usually is- collared shirt, dark pants, his blade resting at his belt.
His eyes are still hollow. He remembers more now than he used to, but- is that really a good thing?]
[By then, Horst has cleaned up, and eaten a few slices of bread to take his mind off the fact he hasn't fed in a few days. He'll have to go find a donor after this, or maybe tomorrow.
His smile doesn't falter when he sees Yuca, but there's a flicker of emotion behind it, gone too fast to really analyze.]
I don't need to bring anything or find anything for the lesson, do I?
[Horst is still, as he contemplates telling Yuca the truth now. He hadn't before because he hadn't known what would set off the other's survival instincts.]
I can move quickly. As far as abilities go, I mean. But you're right, it's nothing without a weapon.
[A few warning bells light in his head. The memories Yuca has received has been mostly of wars, a little flower here and there, anger. He holds the blade limply, prepared to drop it, but watching Horst carefully all the same.]
[And with that, his grip solidifies on the hilt of his sword once more, and Yuca leaps toward him with startling speed, the blade sweeping dangerously toward Horst's middle.]
[Horst is startled by how fast Yuca is, and he only narrowly twists out of the way. Had he still been human, he would probably have been skewered.
The thing is, he's not entirely sure if Yuca would kill him (or try to; a sword won't kill him permanently). He suspects his 'friend' wouldn't even care if he did.
He ducks around behind Yuca, not willing to make an aggressive move yet.]
[Horst doesn't want to let go of Yuca, and he can't move away from the kick so he takes it full on. Luckily he doesn't need to breathe so it doesn't knock the wind out of him; it does, however, knock him backwards, but since he has a supernaturally-stubborn grip on Yuca he pulls the other man with him]
[Yuca tumbles on top of him to try to avoid breaking his wrist, still refusing to let go of his sword. Once they're down on the ground, Yuca grits his teeth and aims a punch for Horst's cheek with his other hand.]
[Horst's instincts are to pin and bite, and he tries to look past those and to the many barfights he's been in. He's not a violent person by nature, is the problem, and he's especially afraid of hurting Yuca.
The blow to his head knocks some sense into him, but it also stuns him momentarily and his grip slackens.]
[Yuca takes the opportunity to roll off of him and spring to his feet, eyes slightly narrowed as he lets for a little distance between then, giving Horst time to stand up.]
Next time, try rolling. Even when you're wrestling on the ground, the person on their back has the disadvantage.
[Calmly. He's used to fighting. He doesn't mind it.]

Horst.
[No emotion, no recognition. Just a name.]

[Offline] god same. D8 D8 D8
Date: 2011-01-29 11:21 pm (UTC)[He shrugs that notion off, however, and draws his weapon, measuring it against Horst for a moment.]
Seeing as to how hand to hand won't get you very far here unless you have special abilities.

Date: 2011-01-29 11:43 pm (UTC)[He watches Yuca, worried that he's already said too much. It certainly makes up his mind about telling him more right now.]
What should I do, Herr Instructor?

You had a chance to take offense and you missed it. That could get you killed.
[Offline] there might be Horst short stories being written (!!!)
Date: 2011-01-30 12:07 am (UTC)What's a good offense, then?
[Horst moves to grab at Yuca's wrist]
[Offline] EEEE DO WANNNNT
Date: 2011-01-30 12:09 am (UTC)Something that won't leave you open to a counterattack.
[As if on cue, Yuca lifts his leg to aim a kick squarely toward Horst's stomach to get him away.]
[Offline] I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE A 'REVIVE HORST' CAMPAIGN
