~Back to Iris and Emmett~
Iris casually listened to Emmett speak. She did not interrupt him, actually findung herself interested in what he was saying. Her arms still crossed, she looked at him for a moment before she spoke.
"Becoming a Ranger means you get a chance at a new kind of life. No one is ever always happy at what they do, but i know you understand that. A Ranger needs ro have one purpose: to protect the lives of the innocent. While your here, it is best to keep yourself occupied, else you may find yourself still wishing for more. " she paused and raised her hands up to pull her hair back into a ponytail. "If you pass the tests and become a Jaeger pilot, i promise to help you get into the repairing team we have here. We could use you and it should keep you busy. Second...remind me to give you my green juice recepie. I assume you dont like veggies. I am the same, but you will be surprised at how much it helps." Walking to the side of the room, she knelt down and pulled out a crate. Inside were two sets of kickboxing gloves which she took out.
"That said, you told me you did MMA for a bit? I'm no pro but i think a kickboxing match might be the best kind of match for us to do." she handed him a pair.
Putting hers on she said to him. "This wont be a test of how hard you can hit, i'm looking for form, balance, thinking, defence, etc. Show me how you fight and at the same time, watch how i move. Adapt and do not fall for the same tricks twice." she smiled at him then. "And i promise no cheap nut shots if you swear not to break me, i'm a little sore today." With that she took some steps back and prepared herself.
Raising her arms to about chin level, she said. "When you are ready. Take the first shot."
