Hotaru
Talyson goes rigid all at once and Hotaru’s relief crashes through her like a wave. What is she doing? He deserves her full focus. Even if she doubts she’ll win, he should earn it on his own merit. She can’t be thinking of Seren right now, or Deimos facing off in a two-to-one for the second time. Right now she has to do her best and go down swinging.
She mentally utters an apology to Tal as she grips his shoulders where her grapple had landed and uses the grip as a brace to drive her knee into his stomach just below his sternum as hard as she can while she has the chance to make a move on him. Hopefully it would wind him or make him vomit but wouldn’t break anything vital, even if it would hurt like a bitch.
