"Where are you taking me??" Poppy eventually asked, afraid what awaits them both.
"You'll see soon enough" Branch replied and continued dragging Poppy with her.She hope it isnt something about her question before. If it is, she'll probably scream and run away recklessly.
After few minutes of getting dragged, they faced a door almost twice as huge than the both of them.
Poppy hoped it isnt some sort of dungeon or something. She felt really safe when her Branch was with her. But no, she's on her own with this rock version of Branch she just met not less than a day ago.Branch let go off Poppy's hand and walked few more steps toward the door, and pushed it open.
He motioned his hand to Poppy saying to 'come on', and she did.When Poppy looked around, she slightly gasped whats within inside the room.
Weapons, different types of weapons.
Sword, spear, axe, shield, bow and arrow, and alot more.And theres some open space on the middle, which Poppy guess its also a training room.
She slightly shivered and asked, "Why are we h-here..?"Branch turned to Poppy and smirked, "Im going to teach you how to be brave and strong" he replied.
"What? Why exactly?" Poppy didnt expect that. She was going to be taught to be strong? But she already have her Branch.
But.. What if he's not here, like right now?"You can be a coward and decline it I guess" Branch replied and scoffed. He started to walk back out of the room and go to his bedroom.
Poppy raised her hand towards Branch, "Wait!" she yelled, making him halted his steps and turned to her.
She pushed down her hand back down, "Ill.. Ill do it"This made Branch smirk. "You're already having the confident side I see" he placed his hand below his chin and took a quick look at Poppy.
"Lets.. Just get started" Poppy replied and sighed. Even though it may not be her calling, but what will she do to defend her village from predators if Branch isnt around? So she might aswell just do it.
"Alright, first things first we gotta find an appropriate weapon for you" Branch walked towards the weapons and tapped his chin.
He grabbed a large axe and turned to show it to Poppy, "How about this?"Poppy immediately shook her head no, too big and sharp for her.
Branch sighed and placed the axe back, and continued to tap his chin. "How small do you want your weapon want to be" He asked, looking at the weapons.
"Maybe as small as a knife?" Poppy replied and nervously chuckled.
Branch gave her an 'are you serious?' look at the face. "You've gotta be kidding me" He facepalmed.
"Maybe you could tell me what beginners use?" Poppy spoke. As long as its not really sharp and big, it'll be fine.
"Well," Branch started and looked at his hands, "There's a sword, an axe, bow and arrow, oh maybe a double kunai?" Every weapon suggestion made his fingers go up until the last one.
"I thought knives are too bad" Poppy replied and slightly scoffed.
"Girl, kunai and knife are different" Branch replied and rolled his eyes.
"Boy, some people also call it kunai knife" Poppy placed her hand on her hips.
This made Branch laugh, "Well, you got a point there" He turned back around and went to the right, grabbing 2 kunai's.
"Alright so," Branch held both the knives in front of Poppy, with the blades facing back. "With these, you could use punching motions. If that makes sense"
Poppy tilted her head a little, not understanding what he just said.
Branch sighed, "Here lemme show you, press that button behind you" he pointed his finger on the button behind Poppy.
Poppy nodded and looked behind her, pressing the button, causing a noise that seemed like something is elevating.
Right in front of Branch, a steel punching bag came up from the floor. He went closer to it and motioned his hands left and right, making sure he sliced the punching bag with the knives.
"Ohh wait so like, boxing style?" Poppy asked.
Branch turned to Poppy and nodded. "Here you try" he took a few step foward to Poppy and opened his hands, letting her say to 'take it'.Poppy took the both knives, as Branch moved to the side letting Poppy get closer to the punching bag.
Poppy took a breath as she put herself in a fighting position.She tried to do exactly what Branch did, making punching motions left and right making sure the blade hit the punching bag in every hit.
"Man, you're a natural for you're starting point" Branch chuckled.
Poppy stopped and panted, placing her hands on her knees with the kunai's still on her hand.
She turned her head to Branch and chuckled, "Yeah well, I was able to see some fighting moves from someone"Branch rolled his eyes, "This someone must be a great fighter huh? Bet he doesnt have a stronger personality than I am though" he crossed his arms and smirked.
Poppy let go off her knees and turned her whole body to Branch. "Hate to admit you're right. He kinda gets real soft and protective when it comes to me"
This is when she realized something when she said soft and protective.
Poppy frowned a bit, "Soft and protective.." she repeated."Whats wrong?" Branch slowly went towards her.
She quickly shook her head, "I-Its nothing, its fine"
