[ The right one is good. She doesn't even have to feel it to know. He had it decently before, the little tip was barely anything. More like perfecting something that wasn't so bad to start with.
The jab is loose. It lacks speed and the pull back takes away from the surprise of it. Not that she's surprised, but it telegraphs. She's about to say as much when he tries again.
She grins. ]
Caught before I could tear you a new one for it, huh?
Not so bad, though. [ She winks at him. ] You look good when you're really smiling.
Now teaching you this isn't going to mean jack shit if you can't avoid a punch. Think you can dodge and throw?
Unless you want me to pummel you in the face instead. [ She winks back at him. ]
We'll start with dodging. It's good to get practice with the motion of it first. [ Staying in stance, she drops her upper body bending at her knees and bobs back up slightly to the right. She doesn't shift her feet at all. ]
Try that a couple of times, like you're moving under a rope....
[ Idly she looks around. ] Shame we don't have one. Probably don't trust us enough with it. Might hang ourselves or some shit. [ She gives a half-hearted shrug. ]
