Fire and Fury | Jake & Angela
jake-out-the-humans
[ ⚔ ] — Jake wasn’t used to receiving kind gestures or well wishes, at least not from anyone named Margaret. So when Angela genuinely wishes him luck, the half-elf finds himself at a momentary loss of words. But he quickly finds something to say, and moves on. “Thanks.”
Once she confirmed what she wanted to do, Jake nods, going to wrap his own knuckles. “Yeah, get too careless and you can seriously fuck your hand up.” Of course with all the doctors around – not to mention that crazy healing magic found on Arcadia – nothing like that would leave any lasting damage.
When Jake was ready and all set to go, he cracks his knuckles in preparation and fixes himself into a defensive position. “Alright, ready when you are.”
She didn’t really say much to his thanks. Just gave him a half smile before going over to start wrapping her knuckles. “Honestly, the last thing either one of us wants is a broken joint. Or worse.” She cringed at the thought. What would she do if a part of her hand broke? Suffer, probably. Working on the farm would probably get way harder than it already was.
But there was no reason to worry about that too much. Or at all. It was shit like this that was why Angela needed a spar in the first place. Her brain was all wound up and getting anxious over nothing. It was stupid.
Once her hands had been taken care of, Angela stretched her arms and readied herself. Jake gave his ok and she took a swing, knuckles solidly connecting with skin. It was a pretty satisfying hit.
