"Hey you two," you say to them, "why don't the three of us spar to get you ready for the tournament tomorrow?"
"I don't need help getting ready," Blackfire says.
"But I do!" Nuh exclaims. She hurries over to you, and you lead her to a matted area.
"Alright, I'm going to go easy on you so you don't get hurt."
Nuh nods, her eyes watching you intently.
You charge in and grab for her legs. She makes a frightened squeal as you trip her.
"Nuh," you say, "you're supposed to try and stop me, or slip away once you fall."
"Sorry," she apologizes. "I'm just not as skilled of a fighter as you are. I've never really had to back home, and certainly not on Sandalia."
Blackfire steps in.
"I'll help," she says as she picks Nuh up. "As Saffire showed you, it is all about the opponent's base, aka their legs. Lunge in and trip them so that they are off balance and on the floor, then pounce on them and attack repeatedly."
You and Nuh reset, and she tries to trip you. She gets hold of one leg, but you lean your body as Nuh lifts your foot of the ground, keeping your weight balanced.
"If your opponent adjusts like that," Blackfire instructs again, "then spin around while holding their leg."
Nuh does as Blackfire says, and you spin with Nuh and fall to the ground, with Nuh sitting on top of you
"Now you're ready to attack them from that position," Blackfire says, smiling as Nuh giggles and pretends to punch you in the nose.
"Having fun playing with little girls?" someone taunts.
