[Late night training on the beach! This is where Minako has always done most of her training, and the cold air is no deterrent to that. When David arrives, he'll find her perched on top of Seth's back, wrapped in a shawl and singing to the dragon.]
Gimme that can't sleep love I want that can't sleep--
[Seth snorts, and then Minako looks up with him, waving to David.]
[ It's definitely a big enough space to not have to worry about accidentally causing damage, at the very least. It makes sense that this would be a good place to do training using abilities that could ... probably do some major collateral damage. Whoops.
David jogs up to the beach from where his car's parked, giving a grin and a wave as he gets closer before stopping just short of where Seth is laying. Even after a bit of time, it seems that instincts still have him being wary of the other dragon, and he can feel the itching feeling of his scales trying to pop up along his arms, but wills it down for the time being. ]
About as ready as I probably will ever be at this point.
[She hops off of Seth's back, landing on her feet and shucking off the shawl to reveal her skin-tight work out clothes. It's so that her fire resistance extends to the cloth, otherwise she would've worn something warmer...but she's pretty aware of how it might look, in general.
Her main reason for being here is to help him train, though, so!]
Can you summon your fire for me first? I want to see how it happens.
[ David pulls off his jacket and sets it aside for the time being, down himself to just a tanktop and basketball shorts before he takes a deep breath. Considering his own brief experiences with fire, it makes sense that they wear something that's at either form-fitting or at the very least is something that wouldn't be nearly as bad if it accidentally caught on fire.
Beyond that, though -
He nods, flexing his fingers a little before his scales pop up - just as an added precaution - and concentrating briefly to let a small flame appear in the palm of his hand. Not nearly as big as the fireballs he was slinging around in the tunnels, but it's a start. ]
Alright. Now-- come at me with your best hit, and try to keep the flame in your palm while you throw the punch.
[She's not sure if he already knows how to do this, but if he does, it'll at least be a good gauge of how strong his flame is while he does it. Minako slides into her fighting stance, ready to take the hit.]
[ David lets out a huff of air before springing forward, reeling back with a punch as he focuses to try and keep the flame going around his hand while he throws the hit, aiming for her stomach. ]
[Gods, that hurts. Minako grits her teeth against a gasp when David's fist drives into her stomach, trying to focus on other things instead-- how much flame she can see around his fist, how much of her clothes it manages to singe, and the strength of the punch compared to when he's punched her there before.
The evidence is pretty conclusive: he's much more powerful when he has fire in his hands. Duh. She could've told him that before. But tonight is for testing how long he can keep it up, too, and while she staggers and skids back from the force of the punch, after a moment she's straightening her shoulders, raising her hands. This time, she's going to come back at him.]

Hi! Ready to practice?

[She raises her arm, showing him her closed fist.]
Can you keep the flame going while your hand is closed?

[ He frowns, clenching his fist - the flame disappears momentarily before it instead engulfs David's fist. ]
