Trying To Rebound

[Bearhug Goddess]

Quetzalcoatl helped her partner up and was ready to intervene if she could not stay upright. She listened to her opponent and scratched her hair, not knowing what to answer.

"Hum... You know I often lose too! The most important thing is to always become better after a match and have fun! I have a lot of fun fighting against strong women and you are part of it!"

Quetzalcoatl smiled warmly at the young woman, hoping that her words would encourage her and help her get up the next time if she had a bad match.

"Thanks, I appreciate that. I mean in the ring you acted arrogant and I was getting really pissed off but you backed it up. You beat me clean." Hinata said. "I still want to step in there and beat you though." She added with a smile.

Hinata was glad now that she had run in to Quetzalcoatl who was a very different woman away from the ring than she was inside the ring. Hinata felt like her hated rival was more of a friend whom she had a heated rivalry with in the ring but now with a lot less animosity than she previously felt. This was a nice change of pace. "So what is next?"

[Bearhug Goddess]

"I was...Arrogant?..."

Quetalcoatl's cheerful expression broke and she thought about everything she had done or said during her matches. It's true that now that she thought about it, most of her opponents came to hate her in matches, she had never understood why. Still, Quetzalcoatl didn't feel arrogant in her words, it was just her way of speaking that she usually had in a ring.

"Well sorry about that...I wasn't trying to be arrogant I..."

She found no other excuse and stroked her head, smiling stupidly at her partner while laughing embarrassed.

"Hehe... Well the choice is yours !"

[Highfly]

"My turn huh?" Hinata said after listening to Quetzalcoatl. "Lets do.... some pec flies. We just need a flat bench and a couple dumb bells." Hinata said as she found two 25lb dumb bells one in each hand. She laid flat and held her arms out to the side before raising them up in front of her, returning to her starting position. She managed to make it through 15 reps before sitting up and putting her weights down. "All right your turn and you can use whatever weight ya like." Hinata said as she shook her arms out.

[Bearhug Goddess]

Quetzalcoaatl watched her partner work and sighed when it was her turn, adding only a 5lb weight to train with 30lb.

"I'm not as tough so I'm not going to add more weight..."

Quetzalcoatl gets into position and trains as the young woman did, she had a little trouble for the last executions but she ended up getting there without too much problem. She then stood up and removed her weights before handing the equipment back to her partner.

Hinata watched as Quetzalcoatl worked and powered through her set and soon it was Hinata stepping back up to take her place for her set. "So... what got you into wrestling anyway?" Hinata asked grunting and sweating as she slowly, surely worked through her set with her arms shaking a bit during the last five reps. Chatting was helping her work through how worn out she was starting to feel at this point.

[Bearhug Goddess]

"Huuum... Well I was impressed by some women here... And since I love to fight by comparing my power against other equally strong women, I thought why not give it a try!"

She laughed slightly embarrassed before taking her partner's place by adding her weights. She gets into position to train before talking to her opponent.

"And you ?"

Quetzalcoatls then proceeded to do her rehearsal and was clearly slowing down for the last 10 exercises, getting up slightly sweaty as he left her place.

[Highfly]

"Heh, my parents were always into MMA both were fighters before they had kids. I grew up around it and it felt like a natural transition for me. I just grew up around it so it was part of me I guess. You would think I would be better than I have been so far here in LAW but back in my MMA circuit in Mexico I was fighting there." Hinata said as she settled in to do her final set.

She was sweating and breathing heavily as she did her sets, her arms shaking but maintaining proper form. She breathed heavily and dropped the weights down and stayed on the bench a second before wiping it off for Quetzalcoatl. "Your last set then your choice of exercise!" Hinata said with as much energy as she could muster.

[Bearhug Goddess]

"MMA... A lot of wrestlers come from this sport, it's impressive! I wonder why I chose wrestling over MMA..."

Quetzalcoatl was thinking for a few seconds before her partner finished her set and asked Quetzalcoatl to prepare the last exercise. However, the Sun Goddess was quite tired and even if she wanted to, she couldn't do more than what she just did today.

"Ummm...I'm not sure if I can continue with another exercise, I don't have as much stamina as you and I'm exhausted..."

She sighed as she added her weights to start her exercise and was having a hard time starting halfway through her set. You could clearly see that Quetzalcoatl was slowing down compared to the opening sets.
She still finished the set exhausted, sitting there panting and gently moving her arms so as not to hurt them.

[Highfly]

Hinata nodded and smiled to Quetzalcoatl. "I am really tired too, so no worries there." Hinata said. "It was nice seeing you away from the ring, I am glad we got to meet up like this." Hinata added with a smile. She did genuinely feel happy to have met her recent in-ring opponent. "Maybe we'll see each other in the ring again sometime?"
