It ain't important. [They didn't need to be wasting valuable fucking energy on thinking. Not at this hour.
There were two hatchets, a two handed axe and several small daggers and throwing knives all sat on the vanity. All razor sharp. She did work at the forge after all and being an ahroun she was well versed in weapons maintenance.
Ren surveyed him with amusement, leaning with her back against the door. She wouldn't stop him if he was serious about leaving but this seemed to be in good fun.]
[Cassandra will be happy to do so with Geralt as often as she can. She quite likes him. A good chase can be nice, sometimes. Perhaps they’ll have to make that a bit literal, later. A chase through the Wilds. He’ll have the advantage, of course. But she does like a challenge.
He comes to join her on the bench and she shifts a little to face him.]
I’ll do better, next time. Promise.
[And then she’s leaning forward, hand coming up to cradle his cheek as she kisses him. It’s a slow, lingering kiss, full of promise.]
Aye. Proverbial tiger. For now. [Well. She mostly is. But she's looking for something specific out of this.]
I've not got a fuckin' clue what that is. [Sounds like a Netflix show.] But I'll take y'word for it. [He'd certainly seemed strong when they had sparred that one time in the baths.]
Okay, so, here's the thing. I'm a lot stronger then I look. [She states this as a matter of fact.] Stronger than a lotta lads. I held back me full strength when we sparred, 'cos I didn't want to hurt you.
Thing is, blah shite, none of that matters 'nd you don't give a fuck about it. [Let's be honest here, he isn't going to be interested in her life story and she isn't in the mood to give it either.] Ain't never been anyone able to overpower me like I can overpower them and for once I want t'be on the other side of it.
Which is why we get 'round to why I want to know if you'd be able to overpower a mountain tiger.
[ You can practically hear his eyebrow raise in his tone of voice. Though, that's right, isn't it? They've never really spoken about what the other actually is, have they? It's kinda nice, honestly. Someone not knowing what a Witcher is, not judging or hating. ]
Oh, I could tell you were holding back. For that reason, so was I.
[ Okay, Ren just got a helluva lot more interesting. Is it wrong he's finding this incredibly hot? Her comparing herself to a Mountain Tiger and wanting to be overpowered? ]
I could handle you. No problem. Tiger strength or otherwise. So what's it gonna be? You want a little rough and tumble? No holds barred, that it?
[When you can lift 400 lb without even thinking about it and can grapple most grown men to the floor with ease, it's a rare thing to find someone who might be able to match that.] I know you were. That's why I'm asking you. [Was there someone else who could potentially do this for her? Probably. But the difference was that Geralt was a reasonably safe pair of hands.]
Well, yeah. I ain't ever had someone properly overpower me before. I've given in before but that's different t'being overpowered properly without holding back any. [The difference between submitting and being made to submit were two separate things when you didn't have to be careful not to hurt the other person. When there wasn't the fear factor of what might happen if you couldn't keep your control perfectly. When the consequence for potential failure wasn't so obvious.] So, yeah, I do. I want someone to be able to do t'me what I normally do t'everyone else. Throw me around. Hold me down. Fuck me. Be able t'get the better of me.
[ Geralt let out that gruff sounding groan he sometimes made when he was deep in thought. The sound of him scratching the scruff of his beard could also be heard over the tome. ]
Where do you want me? I'll be there. You've got me curious enough to bite.
[ Also, the thought of being able to possibly pin down and overpower someone as strong as she was claiming to be? Well, that's probably the hottest thing he can think of at this moment. Oh, so she wanted to be fucked too? Even better. Smirking as he replied. ]
let's see if I can't get you to work up a sweat hm sweetheart?
Dojo. If people overhear us in the castle they'll think somethin' is going on that they need to be concerning themselves with. I don't think I need t'tell you that people can't know about how strong I am.
[Humans weren't forgiving with difference and Ren wasn't going to be the one to out them all for the sake of getting her kicks. But, she will give clear directions on how to get there.] This hour, there ain't going to be anyone there.
[And she's glad that this is a voice conversation rather than video so that he doesn't see that her cheeks go red at being called sweetheart. Not normally a thing she gets called but...she's willing to accept it, given how it made her stomach flip.] Also, fair warning, if you do actually bite me, I might not be able to control my reaction to that.
[ Geralt had gathered Ren was no ordinary girl before, sure she was a Northener and therefore harder and cooler than most folk, but it wasn't just that. Now that he had his Wolf head amulet back, he'd have to see if it trembled in her presence. ]
Got it. And am I not to let anyone who of our little meeting?
[ What he wants to know is, is he supposed to keep the fact they're fucking a secret, or just how strong she is? He would have smirked if he knew he'd made a tough girl like her blush. Best he doesn't know. ]
Might have to try it, see if I like your reaction.
[ And that's where the communication from Geralt's side ends. The next time Ren will hear from him, it would be in person. At the doors to the Dojo where he unlaced his boots and stepped in. Dressed in a casual navy blue tunic shirt, open of course, and a pair of tight black cotton trousers. His hair was partly tied back in a small bow, the rest hanging down around his shoulder, well within pulling range if Ren felt so inclined. ]
[She trusted his discretion on that part. Ren made no secret of going out to meet up with some and it was just expected for a young Fionn to go out and sow her wild oats wherever she pleased. As long as she wasn't getting involved with other Garou, it was nobody's business but hers.
Ren had given him a fair warning. Whatever happened from here was down to how far he wanted to push his luck. Once primal urge took over, there was a limited amount she could do to control herself. He was just lucky it wasn't a full moon yet.
The dojo was lit and open because Ren was already there by the time he got there. This time, she's slightly different, even without full access to her powers Ren had been a reasonably strong young woman who could have beaten most. With full access to her Gaia-given gifts, there was an unsettling edge to her that hadn't been there before. A natural strength and primal fear factor that would scare away most humans in her presence. An ahroun in her natural habitat was a dangerous and awe-inspiring thing.]
Aye, but it'd be real fuckin' stupid to ambush you in a place with this many weapons. If I wanted to kill you it'd be in the bath or when you were sleepin'. [It was stated matter of factly as Ren uncurled herself from her meditation position on the soft dojo floor. Meditation was essential for remaining connected to Gaia.
Ren had made an effort for a change. If she was going to drag him all the way out here in the middle of the night, the least she could do was give him something to pretty to look at while they were fighting. Which for her amounted to putting on one of the dresses in her wardrobe that still allowed her to move freely in a fight and putting actual makeup on.] Not that I'm plannin' on that.
[ Ren looked different. Not that Geralt was complaining, he liked it, had never seen her in a dress and makeup before, which had him smirking a little. Had she gone to all that trouble for him? He was flattered. Letting out a laugh as she made her comment about the weapons. She was smart as well as strong and attractive, a deadly combo really. ]
Wise. Though, I'm confident I could flee if needs be. Not that I'm gonna, or wanna.
[ The Witcher made his way over to be closer, rolling his shoulders and cracking his neck before stretching his arms out and snapping his knuckles. ]
Be a shame to mess up that pretty dress you go there. Sure you wanna do this? I ain't gonna hold back once we get going.
[Ren brought herself to her feet, unfolding and straightening herself out. Her wrists and fingers were wrapped with sparring tape - no need to bleed unnecessarily on the dojo matt - and she was warmed up and ready to fight.]
Be a shame to wear something pretty for you to not mess it up. [If it ripped, whatever, it was hot in the heat of the moment rather than irritating. And not that she needed to tell him but naturally Ren has stashed a bag of spare clothes for the walk of shame later. She was used to clothes not coming out the other side.]
I'd be really pissed off if you wasted my time by holding back. [And she'll shift to her natural fighting stance, putting her weight onto her backfoot and raising her hands.] You ready?
[ That's a good point... Though The Witcher had never bound his knuckles, he was used to bleeding out all over the place, it's not like he cared. ]
Well then. If you insist.
[ Amused and a little aroused by the comment about messing her pretty dress up, after all, Geralt had a habit of ruining nice things, he was going to enjoy this. ]
Like I said. I'm not gonna hold back once we get going. Speaking of which, let's.
[ Smirking at the stance she took, seeing it as an invitation as he came running toward her at full speed! Ducking low at the last moment looking to tackle her by wrapping his arms around the back of her knees. ]
[Ren had said she wasn't going to hold back and she had no intentions of doing so. Her battle sense honed in the moment that the Witcher set off into his run, watching his movements for what to expect. But then the bastard changed course in the nth hour and-- well, if ever there was time to use her gifts it was now.
Hares Leap was a fantastic gift from her Fianna ancestors that allowed her, the moment Geralt came in close to leap straight into the air and with just one hand to post herself on his shoulder, jumped straight over his head with ultimate ease. She reeled around and threw a sharp kick at his back.]
[ It's what he does. The Wolf shaped amulet that he always wore around his neck was proof he was from a renowned Witcher school; The School of the wolf. They admired the beasts, thought like them, and fought like them too. Hence his speed and agility upon changing direction mid-fight.
Geralt hadn't been expecting her to be able to move like that though. he was impressed, if not a little confused by it. Ren was no ordinary human, he could tell that right off the bat, his amulet needn't even trembled to alert him of such, it was clearly obvious. ]
Neat little trick tha-aah!
[ Groaning as he was kicked in the back, skidding on his feet, doubled over as his palm scraped across the floor to slow him. Oh if only he had his Witcher Signs right now, he could have really messed with her. But he doesn't so he can't. Instead, Geralt walks calmly over towards her, peeling his shirt from his torso, topless with fists up close to his head, clearly indicating he wanted to throw a few blows. ]
No point in pussyfooting around with a game of tag. Let's get serious...
No? Thought you were goin' to give me a real fight, Geralt? Can't do that if you can't even keep up with me.
[Taunting is typical of her, but, she was never above needling people if it meant she got a better fight out of them. Ren shifted into a close fighting stance, hands up and ready to deflect a strike if he chose to lash out first. Her stance was careful, indicative of someone who had been trained to remain on her feet, no matter how hard a blow might be, weight kept low and center of gravity carefully maintained.]
[ He chipped back in, sounding cocky with a little extra spice in his tone. Geralt copied her stance, bouncing on his toes, more nimble than he looked. Though, the Witcher might have been cheating juuuust a little bit, using his heightened senses to feel the room for her heartbeat, waiting until it was at its slower thumbs, hoping that's when she was most relaxed before lunging towards her, fists lashing out in different directions.
When a few of them scuffed past her face or even landed on her, he'd take the opportunity to dazzle her and get in nice and close, so that he was ready to pounce! ]
[A few things were painfully apparent when facing Ren head on.
That was was literally born and bred to fight. Everything from the lithe way she moved to the strength of her deflections was utterly instinctive and honed from strict training. She gave ground to allow her to block strikes as they came, having to dodge and weave out of the way with increasing speed until she feinted the wrong way and Geralt landed a fair blow.
[ Oh, don't think Geralt hadn't noticed! Ren was a fucking delight to fight! It had been a while since someone was able to keep him thinking fast on his feet. She even got a few smirks out of his as he blew an errant hair out of his face.
There was more here, the Witcher was sure of that. She wasn't usual or normal in the slightest. Sure, she might have passed for it, but fighting with her now? Geralt got to experience it first hand.
Ha. The look on her face. Perfect. Chuckling, a little cocky as he shook his fist, it hurt him too, so lord only knows how that must have felt. Then again, she was still standing... Just how fucking strong was she anyways. Geralt sucked in a breath before moving to attempt a tackle on her, managing to get behind her, now he just needed to grab and overpower her. After all, she wanted to feel the strength of someone who could pick her up and toss her about right? ]
[How fucking strong was she? Geralt was about to find out.
Ren's attempt to evade his grab through some clever grappling went quickly wrong as she ended up getting caught around the waist and twisting uncomfortably. Getting frustrated with her own poor battle plan Ren gave a growl that emanated from deep in her chest.
Right. Fuck this.
No shirt to grab onto meant that she had to go slightly dirtier than she would have liked to. It wasn't honourable but she was struggling to grapple him. Ren used the full advantage of her strength to post off the floor, sweeping his leg and sending both of them falling backward, forcing Geralt with her so that he landed hard with her weight ontop of him. She had to break that hold somehow.
Which meant throwing her head back to crack against his jaw.]
As she twisted and bent around him, Geralt locked his arms in tight, crossed across the wrists, pulling her flush against his body. Her writing back grinding his pressing crotch and torso.
Okay, so what if he was a little aroused by all of this? The kid could not only take a punch but throw them too, and now? Now she was displaying to the Witcher just how bendy and flexible so was. It was incredibly hot...
Feeling an opening as they squirmed and struggled just after being knocked to the floor. Geralt pressed his mouth against the nape of her neck. A grunt of a moan passed her flesh as the Witcher gave a small testing bite, followed by a kiss shortly after. His hands pawed as he tried to keep her in his grasp, only heavily they groped at her chest, the top of her thighs. ]
Ugh-- Fuck!
[ Wincing out feeling his head rattle as it hit the floor, the crown of Ren's having jolted his jaw as he hadn't been paying attention. ]
Hmm. A dirty fight is it? Alright.
[ Okay, enough was enough. Geralt rolled them, only just managing to hold onto her. Kneeling between her legs as he frantically tried to block any incoming shots. His goal? To pin those fucking arms up above her head on the floor. ]
Too fucking right it i-- [Ren yelped as she was flipped over.
There was a split second where her willpower waivered because between the bite awakening a very primal element of her and being flipped onto her front; it would be easy to submit at this point, let him pin her arms and let nature take it's course. But it wasn't in her nature to take anything lying down - no pun intended.
And well, there was more than one way to fight dirty. Ren let him take the pin, curving against him, grinding her ass back against his crotch.]
