( hehe! my, she certainly looks proud of herself. yes, yes. she deserves all these kind words and recognition and then some! )

Good, right? Not that I didn't have a good base, but I think this should be dramatic enough for whatever it is you're going to be doing in a bit. Don't mess up my hard work too badly.

( not that she doesn't know that it's inevitable in certain situationsm, but oh well. )

But I can do touch ups if it happens, I guess.

( why would she say no at another chance to be recognized?

then, she tilts her head. while he doesn't look like much of a fighter in comparison to some others she knows, she doesn't really think he's to be dismissed either. a thought she'll keep to herself for now, patting his shoulder in encouragement as she beams. )

You're right, that wouldn't be fun at all. So do your best, okay? I've been getting antsy and it'd be nice to have a sparring partner I know I can go to!

( because she refuses to skip a day of training if that's all she can do here!! )
