I got something deep inside of me
Courage is the thing that keeps us free

Hm. He might have gotten a bit too caught up in it, there.
His guard easing and his posture relaxing, Leonid would shift from his fighter's stance and onto a more casual demeanor as he walked up towards his struggling student and... Well, damn, O'Rourke was still raring to go? His brow raised slightly, mild shock at the sheer fighting spirit of the hero-to-be. Considering the heavy damage he had just taken he shouldn't even be standing, let alone keep fighting, and the old lion had no interest in further aggravating the damage caused. As far as he was concerned, this spar had done as much as it could.
"Easy there, son." He spoke plainly, reaching his student and reaching down with a large hand to grab the other, carefully pulling the time-turner back to his feet, offering support to make sure that he stayed standing. "You're in no condition to keep up the fight here, and I'm not interested in continuing it with you in this condition." A small, apologetic chuckle escaped him. "Didn't mean to go that hard there, sorry about that."
"But, you did great." He continued. "Couple o' years with a preparatory program and some coaching from Above & Beyond, you said? And you were able to do all that with just that under your belt?" He shook his head. "Absolutely stunning, son. You kept this old man on the ropes there, and you're talking to someone with twice as many years of experience as you've been alive." The old lion chuckled again. "Your only problem right now is that you're still green. Haven't encountered all that many different forms of attack, don't know how to respond to things that you're not used to yet. But I'd say that's the best problem to have, just means that all you need to do is keep keeping at it."
"Now c'mon." And he was beginning to walk now, assuming that his younger counterpart would walk with him. "Let's get you to the infirmary and patch you up before I get myself in trouble for knocking a student around." Giving the other a look, Leonid would crack another of his feline not-smiles. "Now, I didn't say this 'cause I'm not supposed to play favorites, yeah? But I see something special here, son. If this is where you're at right now, you're going to be something extra."
