Lynn couldn't help but smile when Vespera said her dream wasn't cheesy or cliche or anything. Ok, maybe it is very cliche, especially for a meister and weapon team, but it was their dream and going to be done their way. And she couldn't help but get excited as well when Vespera showed her enthusiasm. When she first met Vespera, Lynn saw a shy girl who had little confidence in herself. My how much ViVi has grown in these past few days! It almost made Lynn want to hug her in a frenzy of being proud of the blue haired weapon as well as excitement. But, of course, she didn't. That would be a bit much, no?
She then listened to what Vespera said and nodded. So self-defense it was. Good, this would be simpler to teach. Though she did frown when Vespera said she wanted to learn something like aikido. She did laugh when ViVi said her only self defense for now is kicking a guy in the balls. "If worst comes to worst, kicking a guy in the balls is always the best solution. Or hitting them in the adam's apple that works too," she said with a wave of her hand.
"Like I said and as you've probably experienced, aikido is a hard form to learn as well as other forms like that. And even if you learn some of it, to use it in real situations can be difficult because it's so exact. So, it will be best if we stick to more strength related defenses. And it's ok if you have weak upper body strength. The point is to just distract them enough to run away and not get hurt. Maybe break a few bones here and there, but yeah, personal safety is important," Lynn said with a nod. "But it will be more likely that a guy would grab you than punch you, so we can work on grab defenses." She said with a nod of her head. The half French girl then walked up to her partner.
"Here, grab my wrist," she said holding out her right hand.
((sooo sorry this is so late. And not much for you to work with T_T Hopefully I can get back into the groove of things soon))

Vespera stood still and listened as Lynn started to go over basic concepts of self defense. She sounded like she had been doing this all her life from how well she explained things. The idea of a guy grabbing her immediately sent chills down her spine, something she tried her best to make sure her partner didn't notice. This was making her extremely nervous, and the instruction to grab her wrist just made it worse.
She nervously reached out her left hand towards Lynn's and kept her right hand balled up in a fist and close to her chest. She then gently put her hand around Lynn's wrist, her hand noticeably twitching before she actually closed her grasp.
"Like this...?"

"Yeah! Like that!" Lynn said with a nod when Vespera grabbed her wrist. Her partner seemed nervous so Lynn gave her a reassuring smile. Well, it wasn't like she was going to actually hurt the girl or anything. She would never hurt her own friend! Now if someone tried to hurt Vespera, that would be different and Lynn would have no problem in cracking their skull open with a lead pipe. But right now it was just the two of them. So no problems, right?
"Ok, now hold on as tight as you can," Lynn instructed. "Ok, now you see that it's hard to get out of the grip by just pulling back, right?" the meister said as she demonstrated pulling her hand back a bit with Vespera still holding on. "Now the key to this is knowing how the body works. That means weak points. One of these is through the fingers," she said. Lynn then turned her hand so the bottom fleshy part of her wrist was exposed and where Vespera's fingers were exposed where she was grabbing her. "In this case, that would be through the fingers. As you might know, not many people have strong fingers," she explained.
The French meister then took a step forward. "So first you step in to loosen their grip. Then grab the hand that's been grabbed and twist your body as you pull away," Lynn said as she went through the motions and broke out of Vespera's grip. "Then you can run away and get help or punch the guy in the face. But my favorite is to kick him in the balls and then walk off when he falls to the ground," Lynn said with a smile. She then took hold of Vespera's hand.
"Ok, now you try."
((I'm so so so so so so sorry this is so late >.< School has been a bitch and keeps making me not have time for you guys. And sorry it's so rushed))

Vespera looked at her hand with her mouth hanging open just a bit, an expression that showed surprise but restraint. This was fascinating, watching her partner explain how this worked and trying her best to commit this to memory.
"Ok, now you try."
"Uh-oh. Here we go. How did this go... Step in... " she thought as she took a step in towards Lynn. Things were going blank around now as she tried to figure out how she does the next step.
"Step in... then I grab the hand that was grabbed...?" she nervously asked while reaching in at what would be an agonizingly slow speed for a real fight, but she had little idea what she was doing as she attempted to twist herself away. She looked utterly lost.
