Yasmin grit her teeth and scrubbed her fingers through her short-cropped hair. What he said was true, and part of her knew he probably didn't mean it like that--but harsh reality had slammed back in. She was a slave. He wasn't. Friendships were doomed here, not to mention anything else, and she knew how slaves were preyed upon by the free folk, anyway, who took advantage of their lack of power. Juras didn't seem the sort, but she was very abruptly and uncomfortably aware of their unequal power dynamic.

She thrust the wall back up, her shoulders tense and arms still crossed. "Be careful about what, exactly?" she said, throwing a glance his way. "Being kissing buddies? It's fine, Juras. I don't wanna be someone's practice, anyway."

Even as she said it, she hated it, knowing how harsh it was when she didn't really want to drive him away. She was lonely, but--but this was her life. Driving people away was a defense mechanism she'd learned throughout her time as a slave. It was better to keep her distance.

"First of all, you're the one who needs the practice," Juras said, hoping a tad of levity would help soften her up.

"Second of all, I'm just looking out for you, is all. You're a nice girl, Yasmin. I know it's hard enough being a slave, I just didn't want you to get into trouble."

Yasmin took a deep breath. In and out, slow and calming. Finally, she turned to look at Juras fully, absently rubbing along some of the thin scars on her arms.

"I see," she said, and sighed. Made sense. It was true. "I guess I'm just...I don't know. I'm terrible at this stuff."

"Well, you're still learning," Juras said, and he gave her a pat on the shoulder.

"We could be regular sparring partners, ya know. I like your style."

Sparring partners. That sounded...safe. Logical.

Yasmin rolled her shoulders back and flashed a small smile. "Sure," she said, "so long as you're willing to share your elven secrets."

And she waggled her fingers as she said it, as though ot were some great mystery.

Juras laughed at that, and he gave her a knowing smirk. 

"Well, so long as you're flexible enough, I can teach you all kinds of tricks."

He nudged her with his elbow.

"Elves kiss real fancy too."

It was a bold-faced lie, that last sentence, but maybe he'd get another kiss out of it!

Yasmin gave him a flat look. "Do they now."

"Yeah!" Juras said, and he gave her that grin of his.

"Have you never heard the tales about elven lovers?"

"Sure. The tragic ones where the mortal dies long before the elf," Yasmin said with a cheery smile. "Nothing got me more hot 'n' bothered than those ones, lemme tell ya!"

Juras gave her a confident look.

"Well damn, Yas. I'm gonna have to give you a better impression, then."

Yasmin lifted her eyebrow with a smirk. "Gonna point me to some better literature?"

"Why read a book? You got the real thing right here." Juras said, motioning to himself and daring to take a step closer.

Yasmin snorted, her grin faltering. "You know, just because I'm a slave, it doesn't mean I'm easy," she said, crossing her arms, a little insecurity filtering through again. She might fake such a reputation normally, but Juras already knew--she'd admitted it to him. And for whatever reason, she found she actually valued his opinion.

"How could I ever think that?" Juras said.

"For fuck's sake, I had to fight you just to get a kiss out of ya!" he said, although the teasing was clear in his voice.

"If that ain't hard-to-get, I dunno what is."

"Well then," Yasmin said with a haughty lift of her chin. "Guess you'll just have to fight me again, eh?"

"If you think you can get me, then by all means," Juras said.

"Just know that it's gonna end up with us locking lips."

"Or you coughing up a lot of falafel," Yasmin said with a too-sweet smile. "Don't get too cocky! I'm learning your style."

"Guess I better switch it then, right?" Juras said, and he picked up a wooden greatsword from the rack.

Yasmin stuck to her wooden scimitar, having never trained with a greatsword before, and being more comfortable with her trusty blade.

"Oh, we're going again NOW?"

Juras gave the greatsword a twirl, holding it to his side with one hand.

"Not feeling so confident all of a sudden?"
