When it came to legs, Hadama still had a lot to learn. He had not even considered, for instance, that anyone would voluntarily jump and leave themselves hanging completely from his grip. Taking both feet off the ground seemed like an incredibly risky and difficult maneuver to him still, and he was unprepared for the kick flip that Maea performed.
His saving grace was that he did still have hold of her ankle and her balance subsequently suffered the consequences. Her heel struck his chin while he was still adjusting to the sudden increase in weight suspended from his hand, and his teeth clicked together as his head rose with the momentum of the kick.
Maea would find herself dropped as Hadama straightened to rub his chin ruefully, looking down at her with fresh consideration and respect. "Mmh. I am impressed. How do you stay balanced on one leg when you kick?"
