[Felix kept his distance as he watched the two start another sparring session. Finn had experience with weird encounters and, apparently, fighting monsters back home but lacked formal training. Steve wasn't much better off but Felix could tell the young man had been in a street brawl or two back home. He fought like a kid with something to prove. Felix knew because Felix had been there in his youth. Memories he didn't think about, ever, and kept it that way.

He focused on the two kids fighting one another. Finn was getting better at precision, the perfected fighting stance and repetitious basic punch and kick training beginning to pay off. Even when the teenager busted out an informal move like he used back home the payout was getting better simply by the adjacent practice unconsciously maneuvering his limbs into better positions. Felix would be more impressed if the kid didn't remind him of himself trying to show off so much. The improvisation would be fine if Finn didn't get the giggles every time he did something impressive and then immediately do something less impressive--like get his ass kicked, literally, from letting his guard down.

That may have not been as much an issue with Finn fighting Steve right now though. Steve's low remark wasn't without knowing truth behind it. The young adult knew what he was about but that just made Felix cringe more as he watched. The older of the two simply had less experience but Felix recalled that Harrington was quick to learn so he knew what to do next. He let them finish a small bout first though to look for more insight on where to begin.]
