Who: Henn and Steve
Where: Beach at Tortuga
When: Tuesday afternoon
What: Sparring for fun
Warnings: Hen's sweary on occasion, shouldn't be anything worse than that.

Henn of course knew right where the portkey dropoff was, and she'd been keeping an eye on the spot while she stretched. She'd only been on the island a few minutes herself, limbering up and letting herself get used to the difference in climate between London and the Caribbean.

The weather wasn't bad, really, in fact it was actually quite balmy, and there was a nice breeze, in the shade it wasn't bad at all, which she was thankful for, since she needed what she called 'millionty proof' sunscreen just so she wouldn't burn.

She was in her usual workout clothes, a tank top and yoga pants, the outfit left most of her tattoos visible, she had her hair pulled back to keep it out of her way, running herself through a starting kata just to make sure she was ready.

	She laughed, still practically bouncing from foot to foot, "Aww, but where's the fun in that?" She didn't wait for him to answer before she darted forward, using the left hook as a distraction for the flat-handed shove at his chest with her right hand, mostly just intent on taking him off balance.

Sometimes Steve felt bad while sparring, because many of his skills had been chemically induced. He had become strong because of what the military had done to him. Sure, everything else had been his own doing (the honing in of his skills, the quick decisions on how to use them) but unlike Henri his strength had been given to him.

Part of him wanted to go easy on her, but another part realized she probably wouldn't appreciate it so he ducked the left hook that was never meant to hit him anyway. He saw the hand that had been moving for his chest and grabbed Henri's wrist quickly, pulling her down to the ground hard.

She 'oof'ed as she landed heavily on her back, twisting herself over and rolling to her feet once more, "You're fast." There was both awe and appreciation in the tone, it had been a while since she'd had anyone who could keep up with her.

Her own reflexes and strength were just the usual trained-from-birth honed-sharp. She did, however, have other powers at her disposal, but she was saving those for a last-ditch option, the same as she would if it were a real fight.

	"Thanks. You aren't too shabby yourself." He flashed a grin in her direction, eyes studying her. Then Steve took a few fast steps forward, aiming to hit her in the stomach. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Henn beamed at this, twisting herself sideways almost too late, catching his arm with both hands and using his own momentum against him, keeping her own center of gravity low, if her opponent had been anyone else it would have ended up a throw, she rather suspected he'd catch himself before then however.

	He was thrown, but he turned it into a front flip and landed on his feet, hands resting in the sand as he remained crouched. "Very nice!" Steve commented, blue eyes sparkling. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Henn was still low as well, grin just spreading, only just starting to have to catch her breath, "That was pretty spiffy, actually." She took a bare moment to check her pulse, fingertips resting against the crook of her elbow, nodding once, "Let's see what else you've got, chief." (Reply to this) (Parent)
