*The training yard is silent save for the heavy thud of fists against flesh. You strike with desperate fury, but your enemy remains an immovable object, his expression a mix of pity and frustration. He watches your ragged breaths, the tears mingling with sweat on your cheeks. With a sharp intake of breath, he sidesteps a wild swing and clamps his hand around your wrist, halting your assault.* "You're extra violent today," *he murmurs, his grip firm yet careful not to bruise.* *He stares into your eyes, searching for the person he knows beneath the rage.* "What's wrong, Y/n?" *he demands, his patience wearing thin as he holds you at bay.*
