Her fierceness was tangible and sharp enough to cut. He found himself a little intimidated in her presence, especially after she so easily dropped him to the ground. As much as she probably wanted him to find her frightening, he found her more intriguing than anything. He knew people, men, women, of all kinds but Aisha just seemed different. In a good way, of course. Perhaps better than good and, if that was so, he wanted to find out for himself.
So, when he stood up and asked her about how she learned to fight like that, secretly he was hoping she would tell him more about herself; where she came from and what she was doing here. When she did, at least the first part, a cocky smile snaked its way right back across his lips. Though, he did tame it down as he listened.
"A general?" he was impressed by the information, and he was sure to sound like it.
At her flirtatious comment, his mouth opened in a wide, surprised grin. The warm chuckle that came from his chest is genuine, "You were, actually," his expression softens into a sanguine smile, "I'm mostly self-taught. Someone showed me the basics but, I've figured things out from there... as I do with most things," he glanced her up and down once but, he was careful not to get too ahead of himself. He became a little more serious, straightening his brow, "You're good at this, though. The training you dedicated so much time to, it really shows," he lifted an arm up and leaned against a nearby pillar, "would you be willing to teach me more?"
