[Rip leaned into his touch as she listened to his words and felt almost..relieved to hear his encouragement. The training he was giving her definitely started to fill in some of the gaps she had and started to polish her fighting up to be less brutally primal. Against regular humans, she'd dominate the fight. Against anything non-human, Rip had issues.

Though, it was pretty clear she was meant to take quite a bit of punishment in a fight and if it hadn't been for the damaging blood in her last fight Rip would have kept going despite the stab wounds.

Rip was a killing machine when she wanted to be. For her, there was no promoting life. There was only the survival of the fittest and the thrill of proving she had that right to live! Maybe if she could reproduce, that mentality might have been different. But, considering Rip couldn't even create other vampires all she had left was proving she had the right to survive by killing others whether it was for feeding or just to prove she was the better predator.

It was the thrill to prove she was alive she chased. Which considering this place provided for her needs, she had to seek other places than just hunting.]

...You haf no idea how much zhat means to me.

[Rip leaned a little more into his touch and even turned her head slightly to give his palm a gentle nip.]

I don't zhink I can recall anyone ever being zhis supportive of me despite my nature. It iz a rarity for me.
