[As she regards his scars, she says nothing about them. It's not her place to inquire--she's learned the people here come from places the same or worse than her world, and the battle wounds people carried were always their own.

Instead, she steps back a bit from him, waving a hand.]

Lemme see what you've got first. Come at me and I'll see what we have to work with.

[feelsgoodinyou]

Hmn. [His eyes dart to the side for a moment. He has never tried to fight physically while using this body before, his short scuffle with L aside. (He's a touch crazy, not outright stupidly suicidal, thank you very much.) Against an experienced fighter like Tifa who is also expecting him he has very bad cards.

Turning his attention back onto her, he smiles sweetly.] Don't go too hard on me, please?

[Then he charges, apparently attempting to tackle her from the front.]

[heart_rhythm]

[She's learned not to be disarmed easily by sweet smiles and keeps her guard up in case it's all been a bit of an act. When he rushes her, she picks out where he's open and blocks him, pushing him back with a small amount of force. With a little explanation about the best ways to attack from the front, she gestures.]

Ready to try and block me?

[feelsgoodinyou]

[He makes a short, pointedly displeased sound as he gets pushed back effortlessly. He knew that his attack wouldn't stand a chance right from the beginning, but having it demonstrated that into his face still hurts his pride. Dammit, why couldn't his host be any more athletic?!

Once she is done explaining, he takes a defensive stance as he was instructed to and nods.]

Ready. Come at me.

[heart_rhythm]

[She hurries forward at him, drawing back her fist and swinging it forward, aiming for his gut, but she goes slower than usual and doesn't put much power behind it in case it connects; she doesn't want to really hurt him, just see if he knows how to block.]

[feelsgoodinyou]

[He mutters a "oh please" under his breath and sidesteps her at the last second effortlessly. If this were this a real battle her back would be wide open to any attacks from him now.]

Blocks are good, a way to stab their back is better.

[heart_rhythm]

[Her eyes widen momentarily before she smirks a little bit. So he does know what he's doing.

With that in mind, she twists her torso towards him, swinging her leg over to bring down a kick at him, falling back herself.]

[feelsgoodinyou]

[He evades the kick by quickly stepping forward and to the side in a risky maneuver. Thrusting out one of his hands, he tries to use her own momentum against her and push her out of balance by hitting her against the chest.]

[heart_rhythm]

[She hits the ground with a little sound before jumping back up again, coming at him now on the offense with a series of rapid punches.]

[feelsgoodinyou]

[He grits his teeth and dodges in the most basic form - by quickly scrambling away backwards as fast as he can. He's not scared of getting hit, but knowing this body it was going to hurt like a bitch if he were and would earn him a bruise that could be seen and felt for weeks.]

[heart_rhythm]

[Once she's made a bit of a point, she makes moves backwards to place some distance between them, still keeping her stance up.]

Looks like you already know a bit what you're doing.

[feelsgoodinyou]

[He takes another step back and drops his stance once he is sure that she won't rush him right away again. Much to his shame he is breathing hard already and several beads of sweat have formed on his face and body.]

I'm no total stranger to the idea of fighting.

[heart_rhythm]

You just want to hone your technique? [She remembers what he said about another life and straightens up slightly more.] Or it's been too long and you need a refresher?

[feelsgoodinyou]

[He considers how to answer that question for a moment - he knows how to fight and saying anything else would hurt his pride, but on the other hand, does he know how to fight properly using this body? An entirely honest answer to that question is not pleasing.]

...A refresher would be good.
