Re: Best way to make friends
"That's a very vague circumstance. I'll make some assumptions. So, I'm in the driver's seat and the attacker is outside, trying to get me out of the car, not visibly armed. I won't be able to start the car and just leave so I'll try to use the doors to buy some time while I get some force multiplier. No guns or knives, they would turn it into a lethal force encounter and I would rather not. I always have an extendable baton in my car so that's my go-to. With enough luck seeing a baton they will just run, otherwise, I would get out of the car and use it. Oh and if I didn't have the mat on for some reason there is also this, a powerful flashlight, enough to blind someone if shone directly at them, and it's stainless steel, can make for a mean hammer fist if it needs to."
Geun explained, regrettably she was at less partially speaking from experience. She got jumped like that back home, only once in the car but it was no more pleasant than the other times. Luckily for her, she knew how to take care of herself, unlucky for the attackers, they didn't. At the end of her speech, she unclipped a relatively small but sturdy blue flashlight that she slid toward him for inspection

Re: Best way to make friends
Ah, that was more in depth then what he was expecting. Senji did listen to her intended plan. So, as guns were more or less banned in Japan, it was good that she had more options. Though, Senji was walking a thin line keeping his particularly expensive, bought one hovering on hooks over the bed's headrest. It spent more time sheathed than out if he was being honest. The laws were a hassle, but he was fine with most of Japan's laws and could at least work with them. Senji then found Geun's handy flashlight unclipped and slid towards him. His right hand separated from the other to grab ahold of it. Regarding his question, Senji had also been inspired by the advertised nature of being able to use grappling in confined spaces under certain circumstances. Speaking from experience but not in a car, it worked...decently.
Senji lifted it to judge the heft. He felt that could pack quite the wallop. That'd be leaving marks. Senji, finally, twirled it three times over the fingers so that that flashlight's butt faced Geun before he handed it back to her.
"I was more referring to if they were inside the car with you. That's more common as a event, I would imagine?"
Senji's last part came out as unsure. He didn't know everything but was just making a shot in the dark. Could be wrong, wasn't the first time for that.

Re: Best way to make friends
Geun took back her flashlight and clipped it back to the edge of her pocket as she appeared to consider his words for a little bit.
"I wouldn't say that would be more common, they would have to get in first. But assuming they are inside unless they have a gun I would try to get it outside. There are some interesting things you could do inside, with the angle of the seats and belts but overall I would say there are no advantages for me there if I get jumped. Gun though, tight, enclosed space would make it easier to take control of it and take it out of the picture, though I would try to deescalate it if there were things like that involved, if I can avoid risking getting shot, I would.
She remarked, again there was a bit of personal experience coming through her words. She felt a bit weird about that, she had only ever been in situations where she had to defend herself from things like that but the fact that she did that enough to have some know-how was slightly uncomfortable to think about.

Re: Best way to make friends
Senji heard Geun's words. He took in the information, finding it reasonable to do given the circumstances. He wondered about it some more, clearly seeing that unless she was out of state or was breaking the law, it'd be illegal to have a firearm on her person. Deescalating the situation was probably the most successful as opposed to legitimately fighting back. However, it might have a long-term negative effect. Senji reached back, rubbing the back of his head and therefore caressing his hair.
"Would you like to...practice that with me sometime?"
When Senji thought about his new proposition some more, he found that it'd be a little complicated. He didn't see any negatives to it, per se. Regarding a hypothetical fight, it'd be fetching to see how their different games would work in a confined space. If she did not want to, Senji hadn't a reason to become irritated at that. She'd fed him too! He was just fair with either option and was mature enough to accept it instead of devolving into unneeded swearing or something along those lines.

Re: Best way to make friends
"We can, but a lot of what I would do is not really safe for sparring. So we would need to lay out some ground rules first. And even then, an environment like that makes it easier for things to go wrong."
She responded in a somewhat cushioning tone. Everything that got off the mats was by its nature carried more risk of something going wrong. And this was a lot different so the possibilities for mishaps were rather high.

Re: Best way to make friends
Ah, so she was open towards the idea! Well, he found that his mind agreed with what she set out. That is, he had no issues otherwise he would've said something. Senji continued considering the scenario. He'd have to go softer on her to prevent mishaps. It'd also freshen up his routine. The one that had contributed to him moving here from America due to feeling without a "purpose". Senji chose to not ask if she wanted to do one when they got to her car or later. She'd decide when they got there. This was a two-person ordeal after all. Senji went to lean back in his seat again. He crossed his arms underneath his chest before responding.
"Yeah, I understand. I don't want you to get hurt either."
A fight in such a space would definitely limit both of their options. Senji would need to compensate for the environment around as opposed to the open air of the dojo.

"Ok, I think we call it for today, what do you say? Where should I drop you off?"
Geun said sensing they were reaching a natural end of this meeting and picked herself up, looking back at Senji and waiting for his response.

Re: Best way to make friends
"----Well, I won't leave my car overnight. So, drop me off back at the facility's parking lot."
Senji turned towards a window to evaluate something. Finding it satisfactory, he stood to get up.
"It's dark out, but I'll be good."
She still needed to pay, right? Or had she done it beforehand? There were two main types of restaurants that did that. The fancier kinds requested payment after the meal. Senji took a moment to inhale and exhale. A great outing, in his book! She directly told him to keep his wallet closed. Did she want to take care of him after his loss or just out of the goodness in her heart. Either way, Senji did have a pretty well-received first impression of Geun. Her and Lei were similar. Perhaps that's why they were good friends with one another. In any case, it could be foreseen that he would've liked both based on his inclinations towards certain types of people.

"Sure, you can go to the car, I will settle the bill and we can go."
She responded and headed to the stairs down, unlike in many places, here payments were made at the counter that was directly next to the exit. She headed there to pay their dues before going to the car to drop Senji where he asked her to.
