WR grunted as Drake grabbed them, their good hand grabbing onto his arm. They didn't retaliate, but they certainly weren't happy about it. They swallowed the candy reluctantly and staggered back when he let them go, their eyes narrowed and their teeth clenched.
"Don't fucking touch me,"
They grumbled, popping their arm as they realized it was no longer injured. It was sore as hell, though.
Their eyes returned to his and they sighed, shaking their head.
"Yeah. Sorry. Do your thing."

"Aight, good. Now. What did you get out of what I was saying during that 'fight' over there?"
He asked curiously as he folded his arms.
"What did you THINK I was saying?"

WR crossed their arms over their chest, pouting like a child, their head pointed away from Drake toward the ocean.
"I can't face the reality that the best way for me to move forward is to step back. Leon isn't here anymore, neither are the other Dragons, or apprentices. They're all gone. I was never one of them, I never knew the true nature of the Dragons. I thought I did, but I don't, and you pointed it out. It's difficult to come to terms with what I thought I knew was wrong. My apprenticeship was everything to me, what I learned was everything to me, and establishing the Dragons here was everything to me... I just wanted to be one of them. I wanted to be strong. I wanted to be useful, and now I'm as lost as I was before Leon found me."
They sighed and shook their head.
"And yeah, I know, my mindset on it is fucked too, but hey, you said it yourself. The fuck is wrong with me?"

Drake karate chopped WR dead center on the head. Hard.
"You're half right, and then you completely twisted the rest of it."

WR grunted, cutting their eyes at him.
"Then maybe be a little more clear, yeah?"

He rolled his eyes.
"For one. I don't think you know about the Dragons or their goals, I do think that you are in over your head, and I think trying to bring them back is foolish. That being said. I was not insinuating that you are fucked up for your beliefs, maybe a bit brainwashed but shit happens. I do think the best way for you to make progress is to stop moving and look at where you are and where you want to go, instead of just charging forward blindly followed by convictions that you are assuming you were left with."
He sighed.
"What EXACTLY did Leon teach you? What philosophy did he pass on to you?"

WR continued to stare at him, tapping their fingers over their crossed arms.
"Conflict is the best way to provoke growth."

Drake tossed his head from side to side. It wasn't WRONG... However that made him roll his eyes hard.
"Then for someone that is supposed to be following in his footsteps, maybe you should focus on conflict against someone that isn't yourself."
He would say indicating WR's arm.
"When someone like me is goading you into a fight, by specifically saying harsh and hurtful things, you're SUPPOSED to respond by getting pissed and attacking them, not throwing a tantrum and ripping your arm out of socket."

WR fell silent at that, rolling their eyes.
He was right, but they didn't want to admit it to them. He probably knew they knew, anyway.
"Yeah, I get it."

"Good. The fucking fight me like you mean it!"
He would say as he grabbed WR's sore arm and used it to send them flying into the nearby beach shack!

WR leeched onto his arm as he grabbed theirs, and used the momentum to swing around for a kick aimed at his face!

Drake would reach up to grab WR's foot and now holding their foot and arm, Drake would slam them onto the ground!

WR would twist with the motion to minimalize the impact! They grunted as they hit the ground, sweeping their legs under his as they jumped to their feet. They lunged at him, throwing a flurry of punches at his chest, groin, and head, before jumping away again!

As Drake hit the ground he would grab a handful of sand and throw it into WR's face! With themm suitably distracted he would attempt to tackle them to the ground, delivering a one to punch to the face!

WR covered an arm over their eyes to block most of the sand, however, they weren't able to react to Drake's tackle fast enough! They cupped his fist in their palm, pushing it off course so he'd punch the sand instead of their face, then slammed their foot into his stomach to push him away!
