The Empress and the Prince

[dddybee]

After Arachne mischievously entertained the false idea that Oscar wanted a round two, Jasmine was already in the process of lifting her menacing hams over Oscar's face again! But from that butt-shaped shadow, Oscar managed to speak up just in the nick of time. Much to Arachne's disappointment, Jasmine stopped and moved her booty away. But making the Barbarian Prince tap out to their combined smothery might was certainly a silver lining for her. "My my, giving up already?" Arachne taunted.

Jasmine finally listened, and Oscar began to talk her down. "Thanks for complimenting our technique, sugar! As WONDERFUL as an ENTIRE DAY of smothering you sounds....MMMMMMMMM....I...I'm excited to take my turn in training you as well! Soooooo, I GUESS I can hold back on the facesitting...for now..."~ Jasmine giggled, as she finally got off of him, sitting on her bed instead.

Arachne wasn't so keen on complying with Oscar's request. "I'm not making any promises." She snickered, positioning her surprisingly large rear over Oscar's mug to facesit him again! Thankfully, she was stopped by Jasmine punching her in the arm. "OW...! Ughh! Fine!" Arachne rubbed her shoulder and reluctantly got off Oscar as well. "I'll be lurking around your palace if you need me. See you ding-dongs later." Jasmine and Arachne stuck their tongues out at each other, before the Villainess of the Spiderweb exited the room. "After you recover, we can get going to my castle's gym!" Jasmine explaining, turning her attention back to her winded guest. "Lemme know when you're ready to go!"

Oscar shamelessly let out an audible "phew" as he wiped a hand across his forehead- narrowly avoiding another round of smothers he wasn't certain he'd survive.

"It's no problem... even though you jumped me took me for a ride, I have to admit skill when I see it. I appreciate you two for at least putting it on pause since I'm fully convinced there's no way to actually stop you from trying smothering me again"

Oscar sighed as Arachne and Jasmine got off of him, causing him to sit up (after Arachne was arm punched trying to sneak one in) and rub his cheeks with his hands as he took a deeep breath. Savoring that sweet, sweet air as Arachne left. Leaving him only with Jasmine.

"Sounds like a plan to me. Lead the way, your majesty. I'll be right behind you"

Oscar looked like he was good to go as he scooted his way out of Jasmine's bed- shaking himself loose to wake himself up as he prepared to be led to Jasmine's gym!

Empress Cake giggled, in response to the Barbarian Prince noting he expected he wouldn't be able to stop Jasmine (or Arachne) from attempting to smother him again.

"Oh. 'Trying' you say? As if the Wild Royal ever fails at securing her human thrones."~ She teased, before Oscar declared he was good to go. "Aye. You bounce back quickly, eh?" Oscar recovered sooner than the monarch expected. "Okay then! Follow your Dommy Mommy Jasmine!"

Jasmine would exit her royal bedroom, leading Oscar out of it was well, as the two wrestlers walked down the grand palace hallways. She'd continue to talk with her guest, as they grew closer to her personal gym.

"So Oscar. Antonia trained your defense and smother endurance, while Honie trained you in aerial moves and high-flying. Based on whatcha know about me, have any idea of what I'll be teaching ya today?"

[MappleMan7]

"When you spend as much time as I have studying under Antonia, there's a great many things you come to learn how to do. Such as picking yourself up quickly when you're a few seconds off and get sat on"

Oscar spoke of this like it was completely normal for him. After training under Antonia for so long as he first student, the Ant Queen's tough methods admittedly became second nature to him. Thankfully, Antonia's training also helped him keep up with Honie and other acquaintances of theirs like Jasmine and Arachne... even if he did nearly pass out. But ever the optimist, Oscar was confident he would be able to keep up with whatever Jasmine had in store for him as he gave her his answer.

"Oh that's easy. I've seen match highlights of you online and on TV. You, Empress Jasmine, are an exceptionally talented striker. Considering your skill set, I'd bet you'll be either teaching me how to throw a punch or how to endure a punch. Or, y'know, maybe a mix of both. Am I on the nose?"

[dddybee]

"You bet your biscuits I am!" Jasmine chirped, upon hearing that Oscar was quite familiar with her striking talents. She proudly raised her arm to flex an impressively toned and beefy bicep. Though her pride was somewhat betrayed by the subtle, flattered blush on her face. And Oscar was correct is guessing that Jasmine was going to focus on teaching him how to better throw and take strikes!

"You're right on the nose...! And so is my FIST if you're ready to endure one!!!" Jasmine yelled, as she suddenly got right in front of him. The Wild Royal had her dukes raised and her right one pulled back, as if ready to sock Oscar right in the middle of his face! She'd likely startle him. Not because Oscar was afraid of getting hit of course. But simply because this was totally out of the blue! Thankfully, Jasmine would soon lower her fist, simply aiming to make the Barbarian Prince flinch.

"Haha! I'm mostly just messing with you. We're not even in the gym yet! That being said...TWO FOR FLINCHING...!" (PUNCH...PUNCH) Jasmine would jab Oscar's arm with two rough, fun-natured yet not-so-playful punches, similar to the one she threw to get even Arachne's stubbornly mischievous behind to back off! The first one was thrown at Oscar's shoulder, while the other would impact his bicep. "Your arms feel great to punch! They're so firm and muscular, big boy."~ Jasmine teased flirtatiously, right before they made it to the gym doors!

"I said I was mostly just teasing you, because this was still your first lesson. No flinching! Strikes are fast and often sudden. So in order to endure them properly, you can't waste time getting startled! So during training, anytime I catch ya flinching, I'll slug you two extra times! Now that you've gotten a taste of my power-punches, I take it you've got even more reason to really lock-in! Hehe! Now then...ready to head inside my royal gymnasium?"

[MappleMan7]

Oscar let out a not so subtle chuckle as Jasmine flexed her arm, catching her blush before she suddenly zipped out in front of him and pulled a fist backwards as if ready to strike him. Oscar's honed reflexes kicked in as he took up a defensive stand in a moment- only to realize it was a trick.

"...huh? Ow! Ow! Ha ha... alright, alright... thanks for the compliment. Always proud to impress a pretty lady"

Oscar snorted a little as rubbed the arm that Jasmine struck, playfully rolling his eyes at the Empress before responding to her compliments with a simple blush and a flex of his own arm- showing Jasmine the power he had packing before nodding his head.

"Don't flinch. I got it. No worries. I'll take anything you throw at me, Jasmine. I'm as ready as I'll be! "
