Never Too Late: Izumi and Sofia

[Bare]

Izumi was in a ton of pain right now as she was held in the camel clutch hold, an otherwise basic move made utterly devastating by Sofia's sheer strength and weight all bearing down on the Azure Dragon's smaller frame. Of course this wasn't enough to make Izumi quit, not this early at least. Slowly but surely she would reach up, grabbing hold of Sofia's wrists and trying to pull them off her chin, desperate to try and get them and for a moment she thought she was successful at this. Up until Izumi felt her leg grabbed and bent under Sofia's arm, immediately making Izumi's eyes widen in realization.

'Oh no.' Izumi thought to herself Sofia's hand returning to it's previous position, prompting Izumi to double her effort to try and escape only for it to be for naught as her other leg was soon grabbed and pulled back as well! "Aghhhhhhhhh!" Izumi cried out in pain, lifted clear off the mat, her own weight causing even more pressure to be put on her neck as well as her legs and back as well now! Now this level of pain? This was enough to make Izumi call it quits as she began rapidly tapping her hands against Sofia's own, tapping out with fervor!

Sophia was prepared to be on the receiving end of some ingenious counter from her sparring partner at any moment but to her surprise, it didn't come. Instead she felt rapid tapping on her thigh and would quickly but gently set the woman down and release the hold she had on her.

After that, she'd sit to the side, looking Izumi over to make sure she was ok as she'd ask. "Are you ok? I might have went overboard, sorry." She said before adding with a nervous chuckle. "Though i don't think i would have gotten that gar if i didn't, even with you going easy on me."

Never in her wildest dreams did Izumi expect to find someone so strong, capable and talented in the gym that wasn't already working for LAW. Or working for LAW as a wrestler at least. But somehow she had and the person she found was in her forties, not that you'd ever expect with how fit she was. Either way, even as she was lowered down to the mat with Sofia expressing some remorse one thought was going through Izumi's mind...

"You have to become a wrestler!" Izumi said suddenly with an excited grin as she pushed herself up onto her hands and knees, looking at Sofia with a beaming expression. Moving to take a seat in front of the woman Izumi looked as giddy as a school girl. "I did hold back, but not by much, honestly Sofia you're incredibly impressive it'd be a shame to not face you in the ring at our best!" Izumi said before reaching out and grasping the woman's hands as well.

"I'll help you learn whatever you don't know, but it'd be a shame for someone of your talent to not use it in the ring, please consider it!" Izumi asked, her expression morphing from total excitement to one of more steely determination as she gazed into Sophia's eyes to show how serious she was right now.

Sophia was a bit stunned by the sudden exclamation from the younger woman and before she could interject in any way, Izumi continued to speak, eventually grabbing her hands which served as a bucket of cold water to wake her back up. "I... um. Do you really think so?" She said, not quite sure what to do, she certainly enjoyed the sparring and it went better than she could have anticipated but at the same time, it felt so sudden.

Then she looked down at her hands, still grasped by the other woman, a slight blush appearing on her face as she looked back up. "Alright! As long as you agree to teach me that is." She said not quite sure what was more convincing, the wrestling itself or Izumi. "If it works out maybe you won't have to hold back next time." She'd add with a wink

Honest to a fault and wearing her emotions on her sleeve there was little to nothing Izumi could do to hide the excitement in her eyes at the promise Sofia held and what she could do if she put her mind to trying in professional wrestling. That was why she made her heart felt plea and luckily it seemed to get through to the older woman making Izumi's eyes light up. "Oh yes! We'll have an amazing match once you're ready I'm sure of it!" Izumi said happily as she leapt forward, wrapping her arms around Sofia's neck and hugging her while throwing her legs up in the air, excitement practically bubbling over her whole system.

[ThatPolishDude]

Sophia saw Izumi's eyes light up and heard her speak but before the younger woman sprung forward to hug her, taking Sophia both completely off guard and off her feet as she'd reach her arms around Izumi for a hug even as they fell. And though Sophia was the one taking all the sudden impact here she couldn't help but laugh, finding the other woman's excitement to be quite infectious. After a moment of that, realizing their current position, she'd chuckle, let her arms go to the sides and look up at Izumi "Well... it appears we're even, miss... you have me pinned~"

Izumi was all smiles after throwing herself into Sofia. Ecstatic to make such a discovery of talent at this gym and all the more excited to try and bring it forward, even if it was technically this woman's job to do the same for others. Regardless though Izumi was excited and at Sofia's behest she realized what position the two were in and blushed softly before sitting up to straddle the woman's waist, but not quite getting off her. "So I do..." Izumi said airily, while sliding her fingers over Sofia's body before standing up. "Play you're cards right and I can pin you in much more fun ways later." Izumi said with a wink to the woman before holding her hand out to help Sofia up.

[ThatPolishDude]

Sophia couldn't help but blush as she felt Izumi's touch on her body before the woman stood up. Following that Sophia herself would sit up and reach for the offered hand "Is that so?" She asked before using said hand to instead of helping herself get up, pull Izumi back down on top of her, wrapping her arms gently around her body and rolling them over so they changed positions "What if I don't want to wait~?" She'd ask with a lilt at the very end, laying on top of the woman so close they could feel each other breaths on their skin.

Izumi had intended to discuss training plans and lessons for Sofia. Things that would help fast track her readiness for proper in ring competition. However what she didn't expect was for her extended hand to be used to pull her right back down to the mat with Sofia then rolling them over and mounting her! "Oh wow..." Izumi breathed out as she looked up at Sofia with a blink of her eyes before blushing fairly heavily before chuckling.

"Hehe well.. Accommodations can be made... if you're willing to work for them." Izumi said with a breathy whisper, gently curling her legs up and wrapping them around Sofia's waist, pressing herself deeper against her while also wrapping her arms around the woman's neck before leaning up so that her mouth was right by the older woman's ear. "Starting by carrying me to the locker room and getting these sweaty clothes off." She whispered into the woman's ear.

[ThatPolishDude]

Sophia smiled, she had a feeling that would be a reaction she'd get and she was more than happy with it, slipping off Izumi and sitting up as she got her hands under the woman to pick her up. "I'd be happy to help... With both tasks~" She'd say teasingly while getting to her feet with the woman in her arms, stepping on the ropes to squeeze through them with Izumi in hand and gently walking down the stairs before heading to the locker room.
