"Me and Izumi?" He repeated, thrown off by the question. "Why would you think there's something going on?"
"Don't play dumb with me," she said, eyes fixed on him. "That day she spoke to you like you two had met before."
Yohan paused for just a second before finding his footing.
"That's because of Freddie. We ran into each other a couple of times through him, and exchanged a few words. Nothing more than that."
She looked at him for a long moment, not quite convinced but not ready to push further either.
"Hmmm."
"Why are you even asking like this?" he said. "You think I'd harm her?"
Something shifted in her expression. The suspicion softened, replaced by something she didn't seem to want to name.
"No." She glanced away. "Just forget about it, let's just do what we came here for,"
The training session today was different from the last time, it focused more on Yohan's footwork, improving his movement pattern and fighting style.
