"...Lean back, it'll make it easier for me to catch you." His voice was a little off, slightly disturbed by knocking out his own partner, but his grip felt confident.
"...I'm not going to knock you out this time. When you start to feel the rush, tap out immediately. ...Okay?"
Cautiously, timing it, Barnaby tenses his arm and squeezes.
Tiger will feel a light headed, sort of dizzy sensation rush like a dull ache upwards from his neck to his temples.

"Okay, okay," he muttered, leaning back a little. Kotetsu has a vague moment to wonder about what he's doing until the world starts swimming. His pulse sounds loud in his ears, a little desperate, and his legs start to turn to jelly. This wasn't too bad, it was--whoa--he felt his vision darken.
Tap out? Tap out! He flailed a hand back, but it was already too late; it rush up on him, the darkness embracing his thoughts as they slowly petered out and tipped backwards bonelessly.

Bunny knew about when he should be dropping. "Kotetsu-san...? Kotetsu-san!" he released the grip the moment he felt his partner go limp and twitching, "You idiot," He ground out, supporting his shoulders and lowering him to the ground.
Kotetsu should have regained consciousness before Barnaby even managed to finish lowering him, with the choke so brief, but Tiger would find himself disoriented for a moment longer. It was short enough there was a decent chance Kotetsu didn't even notice he'd lost consciousness. "You were supposed to tap out as soon as you started to feel it..."
His voice was angry but the soft line of his brow betrayed his concern.

It's an interesting position Nathan finds them in. He halts in the doorway on his way to the machines, lips making a perfectly round, perfectly surprised "o" behind his hand.
"Oh! Handsome, what in the world are you doing...?"

About halfway down his eyes fluttered, and he flailed out one hand in an attempt to catch himself as suddenly his body tipped. Everything felt a little numb and all her managed as a strangled noise, not quite sure what had just happened.
Was Bunny talking? Maybe? "What are you..." He started out, mouth vaguely working, "What are you doing, I'm fine."

"Quiet, you passed out. Stay down for a moment, or you'll fall..."
He explained briefly, kneeling next to him, most of the concern leaving his face. He looked back over his shoulder towards Nathan with a sigh.
"Tiger wanted to learn how to do a sleeper hold properly. We're practicing."

"You don't have to go explaining," Kotetsu protested, flopping a hand numbly at him to make him stop. It didn't work all that well and ran into his knee instead of...something else. He struggled to get up anyway, but the mat slipped out from under him and the world tilted sideways.
"--Woa--" He slipped, side of his face mashing into the blue mat.

He squats down to inspect the proceedings more closely, an amused smile playing across his face. "It looks as if the old man can't handle your strength, Handsome."

Barnaby held his face in his palm. "If you would only listen... Well, now you know how it works. You're lucky I have a good reaction time or you'd be out longer." He stood, letting Kotetsu flop around on the floor, perching a hand on his hip.
"...Actually, another thing this choke is good for is if you're fighting someone larger or stronger than yourself. A young girl could do it proficiently."

Kotetsu managed to find up sufficiently accurately to point at the ceiling. "I can handle Bunny's strength just fine!"
He grumbled, getting his hands under himself and pushing himself up until he was sitting. "......haa." He took in a deep breath, trying to clear his head. He squinted up at Fire Emblem, expression sour. "You try to take that. ...hey, hey, what if we teach Blue Rose? And then she can use Fire Emblem for practice?"

"Absolutely not," Bunny snapped. "I volunteered to teach you, not all of HeroTV. And I'm not a licensed teacher. I'm not letting amateurs try it out other people. This isn't a game."

"Hm? So everyone can see I have better stamina than you?" Nathan suggests, a little petulantly, rising smoothly to his feet.
"Handsome is right, stop shoving your difficulties on other people," he hmphs, crossing his arms.

His back stiffened and he rubbed a hand over his face, the dizziness settled. "It was a joke," he muttered, sighed, and rolled up to his feet. Thankfully he bounced back quickly. "Nevermind. Alright, I think I've got the feel for it."

"I hope you know you have the feel for it. Let me show you again, okay? You don't want to use the soft part of your arm, or it will require force... Actually, I'll borrow Fire Emblem, it'll be quicker."
He glanced towards Nathan who was...well, to tall to really observe easily. "Er. Fire Emblem, could I use you a moment?...And could you kneel, on the mats, here?"

He presses the long fingers of both hands over his mouth, muffling what might be the manliest squeal in history. "And when did you become so forceful...?" he purrs, winking at Barnaby before sinking to his knees on the mat.
It's...probably not the kind of kneeling Barnaby meant, but it's very natural, the way his back arches and his rear end sticks out almost cloyingly as he settles on the mat.
