' i can tell you're holding back. ' his voice was a low-pitched, husky growl, the arrogant refinement of his words gone in place of the high adrenaline of battle. sharp teeth bared, there would be no disguising the expertly controlled blood lust that glinted in the form of pent-up frustration in dark, narrowed eyes. ' either hit me with everything you have, or abandon your ridiculous efforts to train with me! '
Heavy breaths huff in spades, her chest heaving with the weight of exhaustion at the onset. Every glimpse of his eyes brings with it an anxiety she can only experience here, and with him. This was a test, he’d called it; trying to gauge her skill level and evaluate if she’s even worthy to undergo training with the elite prince of all saiyans. She finds the assessment ridiculous, but not at all surprising. It ignites her motivation to give it her best, which apparently, he isn’t believing.
Holding back, he says, but is that the truth? Fists tremble at her sides, her breathing finally returning to some semblance of normal. However, just as this occurs, he finds a way to throw her into disarray yet again. He’s become eerily good at finding her weak points and digging his heel into them -- or, at least hitting sore spots. Anger flashes in her eyes as she charges toward him, intent on delivering a hefty blow to his chest. It’s blocked, of course, but that serves to anger her further.
❝I’m not giving up after I’ve come this far!❞ She seethes in his face. With an even clearer gaze into those battle-hungry eyes, a minuscule segment of her wants to relent, but she knows better. Any sign of weakness in front of Vegeta is as good as signing a death warrant. Though luckily in her case, all she would be losing is an integral training partner; not that she’s keen to giving up on that idea, either. Their impasse ends, and she hops back to reevaluate, searching for another opening.
❝I need you to train with me,❞ she begs one last time. ❝You’re the only one that I know can give me what I need out of it. Everyone else goes easy on me, and I can’t have that! For this to work right, I need someone who doesn’t care about hurting me!❞
