Pyotr was exhausted. He hadn't worked this hard in a long time. As he left, Nox took him around the shoulder. "We are going for a drink, care to join us? A little booze, a bit of the power and maybe even some women. How's that sound. Name's Nox by the way."
Pyotr paused, taken off guard by the invitation. Why would they want him to come with them. He gave Nox a suspicious look and then looked at Tattoo. That one just looked like he wanted to beat him up. There was a slight fear in his gaze as he said. "Uhhhh...really?"
Pytor heard a sigh behind him and when he turned around, Pyotr saw Charlie approaching. "Listen kid, I've seen your type in here a million times. You're the kid that everyone pushes around and finally decided he's had enough and wants to learn to fight back, right?"
Pyotr opened his mouth to respond, but Charlie kept talking. "There are really two types of people like you. The first kind chicken out after day one. I never see them again. The second keep with it and eventually, they push back when someone pushes them. I wonder which one you're going to be."
Pyotr tried to respond again, but Charlie didn't stop. "I'll tell you this too - the reason why these guys push you around and kick your ass is because you look like you want it. Sometimes they might be trying to thicken your skin - other times, they just want to make you squirm. Step one: stop being such a pussy and step two - get your ass back here tomorrow. If you chicken shit out, I don't wanna see your pansy ass in my gym again, but if you come back be ready to work. When you got some training under your belt - you'll have a fight."
He walked over to Bas. "You're gonna fight Bas - why him? Because I can tell you're scared of the gopnik!
A smile colored the word and was accentuated with a friendly punch. Bas apparently wasn't a gopnik. "And I want you to go into that fight knowing that he has more experience and has trained longer than you and he's gonna kick your ass. Why? Because after your ass has been thoroughly kicked, Bas is going to pick you up off the ring and respect you because even though you weren't going to win, you made him work for it. Understand?"
Pyotr's mouth dropped open at that and he stood there looking dumbfounded for a moment. Pyotr closed his mouth before answering. "Uhhhh...I understand."
"Don't give me that 'uhhhh' shit. Be confident!"
Pyotr cleared his throat. "I understand. I'll be here tomorrow for another session."
"Talk is cheap, kid. Show me you mean it by being here."
He gave Bas and Nox a smile. "Have fun tonight - don't get into too much trouble."
He then left to help another fighter.
Pyotr turned back to Nox, feeling a little more confident now - he didn't know why, but he did. As he thought about it, a drink sounded good. He wasn't sure about the women part, but part of him wondered...gah it was all confusing. "I didn't expect to go out after I was done and I didn't expect to work as hard as I did. I'm gonna go home, shower, and change, and then I'll meet you guys. Where will you be?"
