Hotaru
Success again. Ru tenses her abdomen - a well-trained core more than adept at taking this kind of treatment - in preparation for the dig of Phoebe’s shoulder into it, so that it doesn’t knock the wind out of her. She certainly isn’t heavy, but it’s clear Phoebe is still adjusting to her demigodly strength somehow. Hotaru wonders about it for a moment as her feet come back to earth, but she doesn’t linger on it.
“Wonderful! Now this time I want you to follow through the entire motion and throw me. Keep hold of my arm, it will give you more control. Don’t worry about hurting me; I’ll cushion the fall with my magic, and the sand is already soft.” And they both have healing magic, even if the Valkyrie does get a little bruised. Rinse and repeat as Ru steps back and does another punch, faster yet again.
