You looked very pretty.

You misunderstand me, however! My husband is extremely attentive and wonderful, he would give up whatever he was doing to spend time with me, so I can't be that selfish. I would like to let him have some time to himself as we spend every evening together, this is why I am asking you instead. We also have a fixed day that we spend together each week.

It also doesn't matter if you can't beat me, I would like to learn more about boxing. Currently, one punch from me is enough to take down most foes, so I should learn how to bank my strength a little better.

[armwriostle]

Pretty is not a word I hear people describe me very often. I'll blush.

Well, I don't have any familiarity in the complex relationship of marriage, so I can't really comment on these things.

[Guy who hasn't been in a proper relationship even. That's neither here nor there and he's not about to mention that to someone whom he has only really interacted with once.]

I would be more than happy to spar sometime.
When you say such things, I can't help be excited to test my mettle against such a strong opponent.
Though, I hope that you don't break any bones. I wouldn't know how to explain that happening from a friendly spar.

[But Xie Lian's words do spur excitement. Adrenaline junkie.]

[dianxie]

Blushing suits you.

I promise not to break any part of you, Master Wriothesley. Not even if you ask! :) Teach me and I will keep you safe.

[armwriostle]

Oh? How shameless of you, monsieur~!
Do you want to see my blushing face again that much?
I believe that I was promised to have my brains fucked out of me by you. Should I cash in on that soon?

Haha, kidding kidding.

There's no need to keep me safe, though. I promise I can take care of myself.
Do you know when you wish to spar? I don't know if you had a time or day in mind already.

[dianxie]

[ Oof, the way his blood just heated up. He does want to throw Wriothesley down somewhere and worship that lovely body, perhaps make him cry out rather loudly ... ]

If you prove a good teacher, you will get a reward. :)

And, what does "monsieur" mean? Is it like "gongzi" (young master)?

[armwriostle]

A man for my heart.
I do love a challenge and I do love getting rewards.

[Stupid dog brain.]

I don't really know what "gongzi" is and I feel as though "young master" is a cultural difference I'm not familiar enough to comment on. Monsieur is a form of address like "sir" or "mister."

[dianxie]

Sounds like it's similar enough. Monsieur Wriothesley! It flows off the tongue, I like it.

I wake up early, so we could do a morning spar before breakfast if you're not opposed to that.

[armwriostle]

[Man. How do you early risers do it? Ignore that he's just the type of guy who stays up odd hours, but with how much free time they all have, he can shift things around to make it work fine.]

A morning spar works fine. It gives me a reason to enjoy a large breakfast after.

[dianxie]

[ Early to rise! Catch the worms, etc!! ]

Excellent! Thank you for this, I'm really looking forward to learning how to box!

[armwriostle]

[He likes to sleep in. Thanks.]

There's no need to thank me. I'm at Talon daily, and I'm more than happy to introduce those to boxing.

Though...if you're learning to hold your strength and pull your punches, boxing might not be the sport to picking up... The whole point it to knock your opponents down and it's a pretty dangerous sport all things considered.

[dianxie]

So you won't train me ... ? :(

[armwriostle]

I never said that. It just might not be what you're looking for.
You're really killing me with the sad face.

[dianxie]

Don't worry, I can pull my punches. I'd like to learn a new martial form, that's all. I usually fight with a sword.

:'( This is my actual face when you make me sad.

[armwriostle]

I've already agreed, so I'd like it if you stopped trying to make me feel bad.
I don't take too kindly to it.

[dianxie]

[ Xie Lian blinks at the message, confused. ]

I'm sorry, I was only teasing.

[armwriostle]

It's fine.
It doesn't translate very well through text.

I don't know you well enough, so I can't easily read what's being said other than literally.

[dianxie]

I thought the little faces were light-hearted tools, I didn't know otherwise. I'll avoid using them in the future.

[armwriostle]

You misunderstand.

I don't mind the faces, but I'm still getting more and more accustomed with using this mode of communication.
If this were a face-to-face conversation, this probably wouldn't be a problem.

You seemed upset that I might be refusing you and that was not my intention and just emphasizing being sad when I've agreed just didn't sit well with me.
It is a miscommunication, and I just wanted to be honest.
I'm sure once we converse more often, this won't be a problem.
