[ there we go. her grip's not quite tight enough. his motions are confident and quick; in a real fight, he would have gone for a counterstrike with his free arm, but in this case, he's able to pull both of them downward, so the 'knife' makes contact with her thigh when he takes a step forward, much closer to flayn's bubble than yin yu would ever put himself in any other situation. ]
Careful. [ a little tap of the twig. he doesn't feel like he needs to explain the danger of an artery stabbing. even so, his tone's steady and calm, more encouraging than anything else. despite yin yu's general lack of confidence, he is a good teacher, and he always was. it was something he missed greatly, when it stopped. ] Try to grab on even tighter this time. It won't hurt me, I promise.
[ even if it does, he's not going to say anything about it. anyway!! disengaging, he'll give her the chance to try again, giving advice after each turn.... after however many times so we dont just write the same tags over and over. ]
[Well, Flayn isn't quite expecting that, and it's easy for him to pull her downward. She glances between the twig where he's tapping her thigh up to his face. Her cheeks are a little flushed, but that's... from the exertion, maybe. It's fine. Don't worry about it.
More importantly, Yin Yu isn't flustered. He's a very good teacher, and what he's explaining makes sense, so she nods to herself as they both get back into position to try again.
[ definitely from the exertion! this is not an easy lesson and requires a lot of hard work. it gets the blood pumping, and by the end of it, it feels like they've made some progress--not to mention, his adrenaline's pumping proper, and it's set him in what has to be a pretty good mood. he really likes the martial arts of cultivation--there were many reasons that he worked so hard--and it's nice to use it like he used to, in his sect days. yin yu shone his best when he was shixiong
he gives her a smile, more relaxed than usual, and drops their little fake knife, then presses his hand to his fist for a bow, polite. ] It was my pleasure, Lady Flayn - you're an excellent student.
It would be wise to stretch this evening, and eat something as well, so you don't wake too sore. It can be difficult on the body to practice new motions.
[She watches how he places his hands, then mimics the motion to bow to him in return.]
The pleasure was all mine... you are an excellent teacher.
[They'll have to do this again sometime. Flayn hopes that they can - even if she never ends up having to use this here, it's good to keep her skills sharp, and it's even better to be able to spend time with a friend.]

She smiles, brushing off the fabric of her clothing.]
...well! Thank you for the lesson, Yin Yu. I feel as though I have made some progress thanks to your guidance.

I will do so, thank you.
