wanted: one sparring partner.
i need someone who can keep up with me, and who won't be knocked unconscious by a single punch.
preferably someone who can heal without visiting a hospital.

( way to sound like a potential serial killer, kara. )

i will pay you.
i'll be at sucker punch tomorrow, 12:00 PM.
please don't be late.

if more than one person shows up, i'll stay longer
i could use the practice too

( she's not necessarily good at fighting. she's capable, and decently trained thanks to alex, but hand-to-hand combat against equally capable opponents has never been her strong suit. she needs that practice, especially if she's going to eventually return home. )

That's up to you. No need to overextend yourself trying to take on every offer,
but just let me know when, if later than noon, and I'll be there.

[ Not that he will feel great about showing up when he sees that it's Kara, because he kind of likes Kara, so far, but Derek's not afraid to fight a woman if she's confident that she can take the hit. He grew up in a matriarchal pack that was in hiding from a matriarchal group of hunters; he's been surrounded by strong women his entire life, for better or worse. ]

thank you
that's very nice of you

( which feels like a weird thing to say to someone who's agreeing to fight you just so you can get your angry vibes out, but... she's doing her best. )

You're ewlcome.

...whoever you are, I hope you're all right. I know the only time I look for a partner to spar with is when I really need to get some frustration out and a bag just doesn't cut it. But that's just me, maybe. Either way, I'll see you when I see you.
